Josie smiled and took a sip of her wine. They had finished their meal and were chatting and sipping wine. This had been one her best dates in the past few years.

The bill came, and Heero paid it. "Ready to go?"

Josie reluctantly nodded and stood up, following him out of the restaurant and to her car. Heero drove in the opposite direction of Josie's house. "Where are we going?" Josie asked, not wanting something to happen like with Quinn.

"It's a surprise," Heero replied with a sly smile.

Josie tried to settle herself in her seat, but she couldn't help but try and guess where they were going. They pulled into a parking lot where Heero got out. Josie got out as well and followed Heero into an ice cream shop. She smiled. They used to come here a lot when they were going out in high school. They walked up to the counter and ordered their ice creams before taking them back outside.

"Let's walk." Josie grabbed Heero's arm and linked arms with him as they strolled along the sidewalk eating their ice creams. "It's beautiful out tonight."

Heero nodded and looked at their surroundings. A full moon shone down on them as they walked, lighting up their path. Josie laid her head on Heero's shoulder, inhaling his cologne. It smelled nice. She nuzzled her head closer and closed her eyes, trusting Heero to guide her. It seemed like they had been walking forever.

"Let's walk back," Heero suggested. Josie silently agreed and allowed him to lead her back to her car. They got in and drove in content silence back to Josie's home. Heero walked her to her door where she unlocked it.

"I had a nice night," Josie commented.

"Me too," Heero agreed. They sat their in silence for a while. "You should be getting in before Adam starts to worry."

Josie smiled. She looked up at Heero and leaned forward, letting her lips brush past his. "Night," She said to him as she opened the door and stepped inside.

"Night," Heero returned. He walked back to his bike and listened as the door was shut and locked. He got on his bike and drove off into the night.

Josie looked around for a moment or two. "Adam?" She put her keys on the hook next to the door. "Adam?" She repeated, frowning when she got no response. She walked and looked into each room. She found Danielle asleep on the couch, but no Adam. Her search turned more frantic. She finally found him in his room asleep. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, watching him sleep. She leaned down and kissed his forehead softly. "Night baby," She whispered.

She snuck out of the room and closed the door behind. She walked down the hallway and into the living where Danielle was. "Dani?" Josie shook the girl to wake her up. Danielle moaned sleepily and opened her eyes.

"Oh! Ms. Josie! I'm sorry. I must have dozed off!" Danielle apologized.

Josie smiled. "It's alright. Let me drive you home." Josie led Danielle out to her car and drove her down the street to her house.

"Bye, Dani," Josie said. "Oh! Wait!" She reached in her purse and pulled out five dollars. "Thank you so much!" Danielle smiled and took the money.

"Night, Ms. Josie," Danielle said as she went into her house.

Josie drove back to her own home and went through the process of locking the door all over again. She finally realized how tired she was from tonight. She took a quick shower and began to get ready for bed.

She had really enjoyed tonight. Going out with Heero just felt so right. It was also like a dream come true. How many mornings had she woken up and said she needed him, and yet, she had him. Didn't she? She was going to keep him this time and not run away. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they got married, and Adam had a father and everything turned out alright? Wasn't that what was supposed to happen if Heero came to them?

Josie really wasn't sure. Would Heero solve all their problems? Was he the answer to every question? She sighed and turned in her bed. She liked to think so, but not everything was that simple. Not to mention, one night didn't say anything. And then also with Heero's job and all. She closed her eyes. She was suddenly confused. It was as though everything she had thought was now being contradicted.

'Look,' She told herself, 'just let things fall into place.' Another thing was Josie was completely unsure of what Heero felt and how strongly he felt it. It was like shooting in the dark. One thing was for sure though. She wanted him. She smiled to herself and remembered the smell of him. 'It really was a nice night.'

Josie wanted to have a million more nice nights with him. She wanted to have a million more moments with him. She wanted to have a family with him. She turned the other way. Heero was part of Adam's family, and he needed to come and be a part of his family. That was the way it was supposed to be. They were all supposed to be one big, happy family.

Of course, truth was they weren't. They were an incomplete family with Adam and Josie longing for Heero to come into their lives. 'Does he long for us too?' Josie asked herself. She hoped he did. Why wouldn't he? They were his family after all . . . his only family for that matter. 'Poor Heero,' Josie thought to herself.

All he needed was a family and to be loved. 'I love you.' Josie turned one more time before forcing herself to fall to sleep . . .

'Josie smiled up at her boyfriend. He kissed her tenderly before leading her out to his car. They drove back to his apartment where he lived alone. They walked up to his apartment and went inside. It wasn't lavish, but it was nice. Josie's heart was pounding in her chest. She turned around to look at him as she backed farther into his apartment.

Slowly he approached her and stood before her. He leaned down and captured her lips in a passionate kiss, his arms wrapping tightly around her waist. She put her hands on his chest put let them slide up around his neck, running a hand up through his messy brown hair. He picked her up into his arms and carried her into his room where he laid her gently on the bed. She scooted back til she was against the head board. He crept up to her, capturing her lips once more and letting his tongue slide into her mouth.

Slowly their clothes diminished piece by piece. She stopped him from going any farther. "I love you, Heero Yuy," She whispered to him, gently caressing his cheek. He smiled and kissed her once more.

"I love you too, Jos," He replied. Things began to move from there . . .'

Josie awoke with tears in her eyes. "You know the sad thing is, Heero Yuy, I'm madly in love with you," She told herself aloud. She smiled slightly. He was the only guy she had ever slept with. He was the only guy she had loved that much. She smiled and fell back into another dream she wouldn't remember in the morning.
