A/N: Another chapter, no more frying pans! Enjoy Y'all! Going to Tennessee in a five days, some I'm gonna try to get a few more chapters up!

Ouch!

John's POV:

            Oh man, what a killer headache! What the hell happened last night? Wait, I'm at home! Oh yea, Ash attacked me with a frying pan! Now I remember. Gotta love that girl! Man, that sun is bright. I think I'll go shut the blinds. Ouch, never mind hurts too much to move.

"Morning sunshine! What do you need, I'll get it. I'm sure your head is still killing ya."

            "Good morning Ash. Could you shut the blinds, the sunlight is giving me another headache. Yea, it doesn't hurt too much, but just hurts to move, that's about it. Man, it's only 7:30? How long have you been up?"

"Uh, since 5. Had to go take care of the babies. Go back to sleep baby." Ashley told me as she shut the blinds.

            "Oh, ok. Thanks for closing the blinds."

"No problem. I'll be right back."

            "I'll be here when you get back." I smiled as she walked out the door. This wasn't how I wanted to spend my first day home. I sighed, and adjusted myself in bed. I wonder how Ashley managed to get me here. I mean, I weigh a hundred pounds more than her, and our room is upstairs. One of the bumps on my head was almost gone, but the other one was still there, and felt like it was throbbing. This was pretty boring. I heard Ashley coming back up the stairs, and shut my eyes.

"Baby, you awake?" she asked as she leaned over me. I didn't respond, and waited until she turned around. I opened my eyes and quickly pulled Ashley on top of me. I used one arm to hold her, and then used my other to tickle her!

"John, stop, please! Haha, not fair!" Ashley shrieked.

            "You actually thought I was asleep! I've got you now!"

"Please, no more tickling! Anything but that, please!" Ashley exclaimed while she was laughing. I had to dodge the cast on her arm a few times. I don't need any more blows to the head right now!

            "Whoa, watch where you throw your arms. You're going to knock me out with that cast of yours! Ok, I'll stop."

"Thank you. Sorry, I forgot about the cast. Now what was that for?"

            "Just because I can! How did you get me in our room last night?"

"Oh God, it was hard. You weigh a lot baby! Well, I drug you to the stairs, and then dragged you up the stairs, one step at a time. It took a good half hour!"

            "Wow, that's how I got the rug burn."

"Yea. I tried to prevent it, but it didn't work. I'm so glad that you're home John!" she said as she wrapped her arms around me.

            "Yea, I'm glad too. I miss it here!"

"Well, I'm going to go take a shower. See ya in a bit sweetie." Ashley said as she got up and headed for the bathroom.

            "What about me? I want a shower too!"

"Uh, no. You have to stay out here and listen for the kids, and this is my payback for the tickling! Sucks to be you!"

I frowned as she walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Yea, it did suck to be me!

Ashley's POV:

            I couldn't let John see my tattoo yet! I heard the babies start crying, and decided to quickly take my shower, before John got back. Ten minutes later, I was out of the shower, and dressed. I went down to the nursery to check on John and the babies, and was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. John had Josh in one arm, and Winsor in the other, and was sitting in the rocking chair, calming them down. This was definitely a Kodak moment! John finally looked up and noticed me with a smile.

"Hey Ash! Have a nice shower?"

            "Yea. You got everything under control?"

"Yea, no problem. I haven't seen these two in a while!"

            "Ok, I'm gonna go make breakfast. Get Syd up after your done with the babies."

"Ok! I'll be down in a little while."

I left John with the babies, and headed down to the kitchen, to try to make breakfast.  I decided to make pancakes, so I pulled out my handy dandy frying pan, and got started. Twenty minutes later, we were all sitting around the table eating. Sydney was rambling on about what John had missed out on. After I was finished cleaning up, Sydney decided to go play with Josh and Winsor. John went to go supervise them, and I decided to call Stacy.

"Hello?"

            "Stace, it's me!"

"Hey Ash! So, did John surprise you last night?"

            "Yea, I didn't know it was him, and the power was out, so I hit him in the head with a frying pan, twice!"

"You hit him with a frying pan? Oh my gosh! Did you hurt him?" Stacy asked, concerned.

            "Well I knocked him out, and he still has a bump on his head. I felt really bad, because I thought it was funny!" I replied.

"It is, just as long as he wasn't hurt!"

            "How is everything?" I asked.

"Great, Jason is getting big. He looks so much like Randy!" Stacy exclaimed.

            "That kid's gonna be a heartbreaker alright!" I said as I laughed.

"I know! So we're going to be getting home Friday. We all have got to hang out! I think Jackie and Charlie are going to stay at our house for the weekend. Oh, Jackie says hi!"

            "Awesome. Tell her I said hi back! So, you all should come over! I'll ship the kids off, and you can get a babysitter. I'll go out and buy the booze!"

"That sounds like so much fun! You'll have your cast off by then too! We can all get trashed! No kids, it'll be a nice change! I'm sure we could all use it! Make sure you get the good stuff!"

            "You are so right, I could use it! I'm gonna go fill up the downstairs bar. Guess what Sydney told me yesterday."

"What did she say?" Stacy asked me.

            "She told me she hated me, cause I yelled at her. She trashed her room, and when I walked in she was pulling the wallpaper of her wall."

"Wow. So how are things now?"

            "Fine. She had to get her shots, so she was a little cranky. She said she didn't mean it, plus, she's too young to mean it. I'm over it. At least my babies still love me!"

"Aw, yea. Well, we're about to get on the plane. I'll call you tomorrow. See ya Friday!"

            "Ok, see ya Friday Stacy! Have fun! Tell Randy I said hi!"

"Will do! Bye!"

            "Bye!" I said as I hung up. I then went to find John. I wanted to go to the grocery store to get a few things, and some alcohol. I walked into the living room, and saw John and Syd in a wrestling match. Josh and Winsor were in their baby bouncer things, watching. Syd had John in a headlock, and I couldn't help but laugh.

            "Come on Syd, beat daddy!" I yelled to my daughter.

"I will mommy, don't worry!" Syd replied as John suddenly picked her up. She let out a squeal, which made the babies start laughing.
"I got you now Syd!" John said.

"Mommy, help me!" Sydney yelled. I stood there for a minute, and then flew at John.

"Not fair! This ain't a handicap match!"

            "Sorry baby, I'm siding with Syd! Now bring it on!" I said as I pulled John down to the floor! "Come on Syd, pin him!"

"Ok, one…two…Mommy, get him!" Syd said as she watched John throw me over his shoulder. I started yelling and grabbed John's boxers.

"Hey now, watch it Ash!" John said as he put me on the floor and pinned me. Syd started counting, and got to two, when I leaned up, and started kissing John.

"Eww, yuck! Stop it!" Sydney exclaimed. John and I jut started laughing, and then I managed to flip John over, and got the pin!

"One…Two…Three! Haha, daddy, you lose! Good job mommy!"

"Hey, you tricked me Ash!"

            "Yea, but I still won! Syd, go get changed, we're going to the grocery store."

"Ok."

            "How's your head baby?"

"It's still a little sore, but feeling better. Why are we going to the store?"

            "Well, I talked to Stacy. Her, Randy, Jackie, and Charlie are coming over Friday. Could your parents watch the kids?"

"Yea, but why do we need to go to the store?"

            "I got to stock up on the alcoholic beverages. It's our unwind night! No kids, just us and some beer."

"Sounds great. I'll get the twins out to the car."

            "Ok. Syd, hurry up!" I yelled down the hallway. Sydney came running out, and stood next to me.

"Ready mommy!"

            "Let's go!"

We walked out to the car and John took off to the store. When we got there, Syd ran to get the cart, and grabbed some cookies. John got the cart from Sydney, and we walked through the aisles. I grabbed a few things and then headed to the liquor aisle.

            "What should I get John?"

"Uh, I really don't care. Whatever your heart desires. Grab some Buds!"

            "Ok. I picked up a pack of Budweiser, and then grabbed some Parrot Bay, and Bacardi, Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels for Randy, and then just grabbed a few bottles of what ever looked interesting. We paid for everything, and then went back home.

John's POV:

            It was now ten-o-clock and all the kids were asleep. I was in the basement getting in a quick workout, and Ashley was somewhere upstairs. I had a feeling that she was in our room lying in bed watching TV. I finished my workout, and went upstairs to our room. On the way, I made sure that the babies were asleep, ad then went to find Ashley. Sydney had gone to spend the night at one of her friend's house, so it was basically just Ash and me.  I walked into our room, and found Ash on the phone, saying something about a surprise.

            "What surprise Ash?" I asked her before she finished her sentence.

"Uh, Stace, I gotta go! See ya Friday at 8. Bye! Hey baby! Surprise? Oh, it's nothing for you." She quickly said.

            "I think you're lying, no, you are lying. Tell me, or I'll make ya tell me!" I said, as I walked towards Ashley. She stood up, and tried to get past me, but I caught her first.

            "Come on, just tell me!"

"John, its nothing. Really. Let me go silly!" She said as she tried to wiggle out of my arms. She couldn't manage to get away, and I kept walking forward, pushing her backwards until we both fell on the bed.

            "Ash, what is it! You know that I'm impatient! Come on sweetie, tell me!"

"Nope. I'll give you five guesses. Go ahead, start guessing!"

            "Ok, uh, you can't be pregnant, not unless you cheated on me, so no, it's not that. You bought me something?"

"No, I'm not pregnant and would never ever cheat on you. I did buy something, but it's more for me, although you'll probably like it. That's two guesses. Three more."

            "Got a new piercing?"

"Nope. Two more!"

            "Ashley, did you get a tattoo?" I asked, as I looked at her arms. I couldn't see one.

"Yes!" She happily replied.

            "You're not kidding are you?"

"Nope! It's really cute!"

            "Well, can I see it?"

"Gonna have to find it first baby!" Ashley said as she gave me a quick kiss.

            "Was that a personal invite Ash?" I said as a smile spread across my face.

"If that's what you want to call it!" was her reply.

            I pulled her towards me and stared kissing her. Soon, my shirt and pants were gone, and Ashley's tank top and shorts were gone. I looked her over, and then saw the tattoo. It was right over her hipbone.

            "Nice, a shooting star. Good choice!"

"I know. It hurt like hell, but it looks cute! My new dress has a slit that shows it off!"

            "That's cool. That tattoo isn't cute, it's damn sexy!"

We both laughed a little bit, and then Ashley started kissing me again. I didn't mind though, I had missed this!

            It was 3 in the morning when I finally looked at the clock. Ashley had her head rested on my chest, and I was playing with her hair, this was the life!

"I'm glad your home baby, even if its for a week, it's still nice."

            "Yea, it's nice to come home and relax with my girl, and kids. Sure beats being all by myself on the road."

"Mhmm." Was Ashley's response. I looked down, and saw that she had fallen asleep on me.  I just chuckled a little, and then decided to go to sleep myself. Tomorrow Ash was getting her cast off, and Friday we were going to hang out with our friends. Should be a good week!

A/N: I want a tattoo! I'm too chicken though! Does anyone know if John has any tattoos? I haven't seen any, and trust me, I look! Let me know! Hope y'all like it! Peace!
