Passionate Kisses

"Jeremy could you get the door, it's most likely Todd, Liz and the kids" Said Jessica from the kitchen.

"Sure, no problem Jess...Hey Todd, Liz, Hi Dustin, Amber, Aaron Come on in" Said Jeremy giving his in-laws hugs.

"Hi, How is Jess doing? Have you finished decorating the nursery yet?" Asked Elizabeth taking off her coat and putting it into the closet.

"Jess is fine...and we're almost done with the nursery. We just have to put all the furniture in" Said Jeremy.

"Liz, Todd, Dustin, Amber, Aaron get over here and give me a hug!" Said Jessica walking into the living room.

"Hi Aunt Jessica" Said seven year old Dustin.

"Hi Aunt Jessie!" said five year old Amber.

"Aunt Jessie, Aunt Jessie!" squeaked three year old Aaron. Just then the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it" Said Jeremy getting to his feet. "Steven, Cara Hi! Hey James, Sam. Hi Heather" Said Jeremy hugging his brother in-law.

"Uncle Jeremy, can we play basketball?" Asked ten year old James.

"Sure James, How about you & me against Sam & your Uncle Todd?" Said Todd grinning.

"Yeah!" Yelled the two boys.

"Okay, Sam why don't you go talk your Uncle Todd into it & James & I will meet you outside" Said Jeremy.

"Okay, Uncle Todd, Uncle Todd!" Shrieked Sam.

"Sam, Sam. What can I do for you buddy?" Asked Todd.

"Be on my team!" Said Sam.

"Be on your tea for that?" Asked Todd smiling.

"Basketball. Us against James & Uncle Jeremy. Come on!" Said Sam pulling on Todd's arm to get him up.

"Okay, I'll be on your team! Lets go get them" Said Todd letting Sam drag him outside.

Mean while back inside

"Hi Heather. How are you doing?" Asked Jessica smiling at her three-year-old niece.

"Good, Are you having boys or girls?" Asked Heather sweetly.

"Well Sweetie Auntie Jessie is going to have twin boys" Said Jessica smiling.

"Poo!" Said Heather frowning.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy your going to get two new cousins?" Asked Jessica.

"Yeah...but I wanna another girl cousin!" Said Heather still frowning.

"Oh I'm sorry honey" Said Jessica giving Heather a hug. Before going to get the door as more of their friends started to arrive. Soon all their old high school friends were there. Lila and Bruce, Tia and Trent, Maria and Ken, Andy and Dave, Enid and Winston, Jade and Evan, Amy and Brian, Megan and Jeff, Aaron, and Conner.

Later that night

'Come on, all you have to do is get up and go over to where she's sitting and talk to her' Conner thought to himself. Sighing he finally got up and walked over to where Elizabeth and Todd were sitting.

"Liz can I talk to you for a second" said Conner getting up the nerve. 'Come on McDermott this isn't high school anymore...pull it together' thought Conner as he waited for Elizabeth's answer.

"Sure, Todd I'll be back in a minute or two, keep an eye on the kids" said Elizabeth getting up and following Conner into the house, through the kitchen and into the living room. "So what did you want to talk to me about Conner?" asked Elizabeth

"Um, Yeah, Well it's just that..." Conner began 'Spit it out McDermott' "I just wanted to tell you that...Err..." he said trying again but not finding the right words to say what he wanted to say. Glancing down Conner realized that he had been staring at her lips...oh how much he wanted to kiss those small soft lips of hers 'No, I can't...she's married' thought Conner pulling his eyes away from her lips and on to her hands...Her hands which were so small, soft, and fit just right in his 'Why is this so hard? It's just Liz...we use to be able to talk about everything together...why is it so hard to talk to her now' wondered Conner 'Maybe because I want her and she's a married woman with three kids' thought Conner.

"Conner, are you okay?" asked Elizabeth breaking him from his thoughts. As if the sound of her voice was the final push that he needed, Conner leaned forward and kissed those soft lips of hers, cupping her face in his hands. Conner could feel how tense she was. Slowly at first, then harder, with more passion then ever before he felt Elizabeth begin to enjoy the kiss, and kiss back with the same amount of passion that he was giving.

"Elizabeth!" The voice came quite at first, but then louder breaking the spell that her & Conner had, making Elizabeth pull back from Conner ending the very heavy kiss that the two had going on. As Elizabeth turned her head still trying to catch her breath from Conner's kiss she saw who had broken the two apart.

"Todd. I can Explain" Said Elizabeth walking towards him.

"Save it Liz! I don't want to hear it" Said Todd feeling as if someone had just ripped out his heart & put it into a blender. At that moment the front door opened & in walked the kids. "Dustin, Amber, Aaron, get your coats, I am taking you three home" Said Todd Grabbing his coat and putting it on as his kids looked at him as if they didn't understand what he said.

"What about mom?" Said Amber looking at her mom.

"You're mom wont be coming home for a few days" Said Todd looking at Elizabeth with a look that could kill someone.

"Where will you be mommy?" Asked Aaron beginning to cry.

"Oh Aaron, honey come here...Its okay...Mommy will be okay...I will call you later so that you know where I am okay?" Said Elizabeth hugging her son.

"Aaron, Come on, get you coat on" Said Todd.

"Bye, mom" Said Amber giving her mom a hug.

"Later mom" Said Dustin who could tell that something bad was going on.

"Bye you two" Said Elizabeth tears starting to form in her eyes. Once Todd, Dustin, Amber and Aaron had left Elizabeth broke down.

"Everything will be okay Liz," Said Conner hugging her, trying to calm her before everyone else heard her crying.

"Liz? Lizzie what's wrong?" Said Jessica walking into the living room seeing her sister crying. "Where did Todd and the kids go?" Asked Jessica looking around. At this Elizabeth started crying harder.

"Oh Jess, I did something that I shouldn't have...and now I have a feeling that Todd and I are over" Said Elizabeth looking up.

"Kids why don't you guys go out back and play..." Said Jessica not wanting to worry the kids anymore. Once the kids were gone Jessica walked over to the couch & motioned for her sister to sit. "Now tell me Liz what is it that you did that could make it so that you and Todd are over?" Asked Jessica.

"It's nothing Jess; really, Liz will be fine...Her and Todd just had a misunderstanding that's all, really." Said Conner not wanting Jessica to know the real reason of why her sister was crying her eyes out. 'Now look what you have done McDermott...you have single handily ruined Liz's marriage to Todd...Yeah that will make her want to get together with me' thought Conner. Realizing what he was thinking Conner shook those thought out of his head. 'How can I be thinking of Liz and I getting together right now, when she's heart broken? I am the worst person in the world'

"No Jess, it wasn't nothing...it was a big something..." Said Elizabeth taking a deep breath.

"Conner why don't you go out back and make sure that the kids aren't telling anyone what they saw" Said Jessica. 'That way I can get my sister to talk and tell me what really bugging her...'

"Err...Sure Jess" Said Conner not wanting to leave in fear of Elizabeth spilling how he took her aside and started kissing her like there was no tomorrow. Once Conner was gone.

"Now Lizzie...what happened in here? I know it has to have Conner in it somehow...other wise he wouldn't have been acting like he just robed my grandmother and someone was going to catch him" Said Jessica looking at her sister.

"Something did happen Jess, and it does have to do with Conner. We kissed Jess, and I am not talking about just a quick peck on the cheek...I am talking full thing, head spinning, heard pounding kiss, a kiss that leaves you wanting more" Said Elizabeth remembering how wonderful that kiss felt.

"Elizabeth! Yours Married! How could you do this?" Said Jessica not wanting to believe her sister could do such a thing.

"I don't know Jess...All I know is that if you were being kissed like that, you would want more too!" Said Elizabeth.

"Now the question I have for you Liz is this: Are you willing to leave Todd to see if things will work with you and Conner?" Said Jessica.

"I don't know Jess; I don't know" Said Elizabeth sighing.
