Baby awoke the next morning with a huge grin on her face. She looked over beside her to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She wasn't because Johnny was stretched out next to her. She glanced over at her clock that read 5:30 a.m. Another work day, but she found it hard to leave Johnny, but she needed to.

She snuck out of bed and into the bathroom. She tried to be quiet and not wake Johnny. She stood under the falling shower water and zoned out. She hasn't felt this way since 1963. Making love with Johnny last night was amazing. She replayed it over an over in her heard. It was all so unreal. She had longed to feel Johnny again and she got her wish. What would happen next? The future was still unclear.

Baby finished her shower and slipped into her bathrobe. As she was brushing her teeth she took a peek outside the bathroom door and seen that Johnny was still sound asleep. She silently walked over to the bed and sat on the edge careful not to wake him. He looked so peaceful. At that moment she wanted to wake Johnny up and tell him she loved him with every being in her. Even in 1963 they never breathed those precious words to each other. It took nine years before Baby was ready to say them.

Baby finally got ready and headed to the kitchen to make her some coffee before heading into to work. As she poured her coffee she felt arms slip around her waist and breath on the back of her neck. "Good morning beautiful."

Baby turned around to give Johnny a good morning kiss. "How did you sleep?"

"Amazing. Never slept better in my life." He said smiling. "Gotta a cup there for me?"

Baby walked to the cupboard and pulled another mug out. Then she stopped. "I don't know how you like your coffee."

"Black." He replied as he walked up to her again and gave her another kiss. "But, I will drink it anyway you fix it."

Baby let out a little chuckle. "Black it is."

"What time will you leave work today?" Johnny asked as he took a seat at the bar.

"Friday's we normally try and get out early. But who knows. I seem to work late all the time." Baby handed Johnny his coffee. "What are your plans?"

"Well, I took today off and I am going up to Salem to get Jonathon. I am going to keep him for the weekend." Johnny blew on his coffee to cool it off. "I haven't seen him in two weeks and it is killing me. I called him yesterday afternoon to see if I could come get him and it thrilled him to death."

"I imagine it did." Baby responded. "I am sure he missed you just as much as you miss him."

"Yeah, I know he does. Why don't you have dinner with us tonight? He wants me to cook spaghetti for him and I would really like for you to meet him." The idea popped into Johnny's head.

"Really?" Baby was touched that he actually wanted her to meet Jonathon. "I would love to."

"Good, can I call you at work later?" Johnny asked as he sipped on his coffee.

"Of course." Baby returned as she glanced down at her watch. "Oh, I am going to be late if I don't hurry up and go."

"Hang on let me get dressed." Johnny said as he jumped up from his stool.

"No, don't rush on the account of me. Finish your coffee and you can even take a shower if you want. Just lock up when you leave." Baby told him as she gave him another little kiss.

"You sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. Just call me later." Baby grabbed her briefcase and headed for the door. "Make yourself at home."

Johnny walked with her to the front door. "I can't describe how much I enjoyed last night."

"I know." Baby said as she slipped her arms around his neck. "I know."

Johnny pulled her into a passionate kiss. "Have a good day and I will call you when I get back into town."

They said their goodbyes and Johnny was off to get ready and Baby off to work.

Baby had no problems falling into her daily working routine. She was in the best mood and ready and willing for anything. Everyone in the office was noticing Baby's enthusiastic mood. She couldn't help but show it off.

"Patrick told me you were in an awesome mood." Amanda said catching Baby's attention.

Baby looked a little offensive. "Do I always act like I am in a bad mood?"

"Well, no he just said you were, how did he word it, overly happy." She said mocking Patrick.

"Overly happy huh?" Baby responded back.

"So, what has you overly happy?" Amanda asked Baby as she propped up against Baby's desk.

"I had a visitor last night." Baby said smiling mischievously.

Amanda's eyes grew bigger. "Who?"

"Johnny. He spent the night last night." Baby told her watching Amanda react joyfully.

"I knew it!" She started. "There was unfinished business with you two, I just knew it."

"I am going to have dinner with him and his son tonight." Baby leaned back in her chair. "I can't believe all this is happening."

"He told you he loved you didn't he?" She asked hurriedly.

"No, he has never told me that." Again Baby realized that neither has said those words to each other. "I have never told him either."

Amanda nudged Baby. "Well, I guess Patrick is out of the picture."

Baby gave Amanda a crazy look for her bad joke. "You are not right."

"I hear my name ladies?" Patrick walked up behind them. "Good topic if I did."

"Guys I hate to run but I have to get to work myself. Patrick we still on for dinner tonight?" Amanda asked.

"Yeah, I will call you later this afternoon." He told her as he gave her a quick hug.

"Bye ya'll"

"Amanda I will call you." Baby told her as she watched Amanda head out.

"You better." Amanda said back as she reached the elevator.

"So what's got you happy this morning?" Patrick asked Baby.

"I guess I just can't be in a good mood for no reason huh." Baby said smiling sarcastically.

"Just picking at you." Patrick defended himself. "What story you working on this morning?"

"I'm fixing to head out to the Jefferson trial. It's the defenses turn to call witnesses." Baby told him as she got her things together.

"Good let see if we can get that story in before four today." He told her.

Baby was sitting in the courtroom finding it hard to concentrate on the very tedious murder trial in progress. She found it unreal that she was letting Johnny consume her every thought. How could she still be so infatuated with him? She had to get this story.

She found herself in the courtroom until well after lunch. It was a long drawn out case that had much more ahead. She headed back to the office after she stopped by a deli and picked her up a sandwich to go.

"Baby line one." The receptionist blared over the speaker.

"Hey beautiful." She heard Johnny's sweet voice coming through.

"Hey, you back in town?" Baby asked as she grinned from ear to ear. She had wanted to hear his voice all day.

"Yeah Jonathon and I just got back to my apartment. He's got his mind glued on cartoons." Johnny said into the receiver.

"I am looking forward to meeting him." Baby confided in Johnny.

"Well, you can head this way when ever you get ready too. We won't be doing much. I will probably start cooking around 6:30 or 7." He told her.

"Sounds good. Where's your apartment?" Baby asked realizing she had no idea where he lived.

"Know where Amsterdam Street is?" Johnny asked.

"Oh yes."

"1374. Kind of on the corner of Amsterdam St. and Apple St." He told her.

"I know where that is. I will see you about six or so?" Baby threw up that option.

"Six it is. See you then."

Baby hung up the phone and leaned back in her chair. She couldn't wait for tonight. She just couldn't wait to see Johnny and meet Jonathon, the most important thing in Johnny's life.
