The next morning Dave woke before the sun was up, when he woke he felt something beside him he opened his eyes to find Marissa wrapped in his arms still sleeping, he smiled at her remembering what had happened the night before and pressed a kiss to her forehead causing her to stir in her sleep. He laid there watching her sleep until the sun came up, then he gently got up from the bed, as not to wake her, grabbed a pair of track pants and slipped them on. Dave walked downstairs deciding to make Marissa breakfast in bed.
Marissa slowly opened her eyes when she heard the bedroom door open; she rolled onto her back to see Dave walk in the room carrying a try. He walked over to her side of the bed as she sat up slightly pulling the shirt of his closer to her body as Dave sat the tray across her lap and sat beside her on the bed.
"This is sweet." Marissa picked up the fork and cut a piece of pancake off and held the fork out for Dave as he took the bite she offered. "So can I ask why you are doing all of these nice little romantic things for me? There's nothing going on is there?"
"Nothing is going on; I'm not leaving you or anything like that. Quit worrying about that so much please, I did something nice because I love you."
"I love you too." Marissa leaned over to him and gave him a kiss.
After their breakfast, Dave and Marissa went over and picked up Justice then took her to the park for a picnic and some play time before Dave left for the road again.
"Are you sure that you don't want to come with me this time?" Dave asked as he finished packing his suitcase.
"I think Justice and I are just going to stay here this time and enjoy this great big house." Marissa answered walking into the bedroom from the bathroom. "Besides Justice wants to go see grandma so I thought we would go see her for a day or so and I thought that we could stop by our place and pack up some of our things, pick up Dosha and bring them back here."
"What are you saying?"
"I just thought that maybe if you didn't mind we could move in here with you, there really is no sense in having two house if Justice and I are going to be here most of the time."
"You really want to move in here with me?" Marissa nodded walking up to stand in front of him. "I would love it if you did, that way I can see you two all the time when I'm home." Dave wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him and gave her a soft kiss.
"Daddy!" Justice yelled as she came running into the room.
"What's wrong?" Dave asked as Justice jumped up on the bed.
"Do you have to leave?"
"Yes I have to leave." Dave sat on the bed and pulled Justice into his lap. "But I'll be back in a week."
"But I don't want you to leave?" Justice stuck out her bottom lip and started to pout. Marissa sat beside them laughing at her with Dave. "Sweetie I have to leave. You don't want to lose my title do you?" Justice shook her head no. "Well then I have to go, if I don't leave and go to work then I'll lose my title."
"Who will get the title if you lose it?" Justice asked.
"Your mean old uncle Paul will get the title back and we don't want that do we?"
"No! He can't get it back. You won't let him get it back will you daddy?"
"Of course not."
"Did you hear that mommy daddy said that he's not going to let uncle Paul get the title back?"
"Yes I heard him." Marissa smiled at her.
"Can we watch daddy on TV?"
"Don't we always."
"Can I call you every night daddy?"
"Yes you can, anytime that you want to. Now I have to finish packing before Uncle Paul gets here or unless I won't get to the airport on time, do you think you and mommy could help me?" Justice jumped up from his lap. Justice helped Dave put the rest of his things in the suitcase while Marissa watched the two. Dave and Justice finished packing just before Paul pulled into the driveway. Justice came running down the stairs when she heard him talking to Marissa as he walked in the house. Justice ran up him and jumped into his arms when she saw him.
"Justice, did you miss me at all?" Paul joked.
"Mommy and daddy said that I have to stay here this time, but I want to go with you and daddy." Justice pouted hoping to get him on her side.
"Well if your mommy and daddy say you have to stay then you have to stay here, you don't mommy to get lonely do you?"
"I guess not." Justice turned her head as Dave walked down the stairs with his bags. "Daddy, I don't want you to go."
"I'm sorry sweetie." Dave walked over to her and took her from Paul. "I'll only be gone a week and you can call me anytime like I told you a little bit ago. When I come home it'll be just me, you and mommy I promise." Justice nodded her head with tears starting to form in her eyes. "Can I have hug?" Justice wrapped her little arms around his neck as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. "You take care of mommy okay, I love you sweetie." Dave set her on the floor then took a couple steps to stand in front of Marissa. Dave wrapped his arms around her. "I love you too. I'll call you when I get to the hotel okay. Have fun and be careful going to Shari's." Dave gave Marissa a kiss then let her go.
"Have fun, but not too much fun." Marissa waved to him and Paul as they walked out to the car. Marissa picked up Justice and they stood on the front porch and watched as they pulled out of the driveway.
