So the first part might suck because this is my first time writing something like that but I hope you enjoy it! I'm trying to step a little out of my comfort zone and try new things. Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter as always!

He moaned softly as her soft lips kissed his chest and he brought his hand to the back of her head tangling his fingers in her silky strands of hair. Her lips moved further down his chest, her tongue flicking out to taste him. She was teasing him and it took everything in him not to push her head down to the place he really wanted to feel her hot wet mouth. But he didn't want to rush her and cause her to stop so he closed his eyes instead feeling her move down his body. His body was on fire, his heart beating against his chest and desire coursed through him. He had been wanting this for some time now and it was finally happening. He wasn't sure exactly what had led to these events but he sure in the hell wasn't complaining.

He let out a low growl once he felt her hand around his hard length and she started to stroke him slowly. It felt like it ended as soon as it started though. He opened his eyes when he felt her stop and looked down to see she was looking at him now with a sexy little smirk. She knew she was torturing him. Her eyes were full of burning desire and it turned him on even more to see that she wanted this just as much as he did. Her tongued darted out licking her lips before she leaned down placing a small kiss on the tip of his hard length.

"Steph" he moaned gripping his hand in her hair and felt her hot breath against him and then….

"Wake the fuck up" Paul heard a male voice and then something cool and soft hit him in the face. What the fuck? He opened his eyes and was greeted by the sight of his best friend.

"Go away" Paul growled rolling over to his side. Fucking Shawn interrupting his dream just as it was getting to the good part. He had been having these dreams constantly about Stephanie for the last couple of nights now. He was constantly thinking about her during the day and now she was invading his dreams too.

"No. Time to get up" Shawn replied smacking him on the side of his head with a pillow again.

"Giving you a key to the apartment was a mistake" Paul groaned closing his eyes.

"Well if you hadn't Becca and I would have been outside waiting for you forever to wake up and let us in" Shawn replied as Paul tried to drown him out and go back to sleep. Hopefully he could dream about the part that had been interrupted but that didn't seem like it was going to happen because he felt the pillow smack against his head again, harder this time.

"Fine! I'm awake and I'll be out in a second"

"Don't make me come back in here" Shawn warned "I'll be in the living room with Becca."

"Fine" Paul replied rolling his eyes and rolled back over on his back as he heard the bedroom door shut. He let out a frustrated sigh feeling the hardness and aching down below from his dream. It looked like he was going to be taking care of that himself again in the shower.

Sitting up in bed he rubbed his eyes and threw the blanket off of him before standing up to put his pants on. He grabbed his cellphone off the nightstand and checked it for any missed calls or texts but none from the person he wanted right now. He would have to call her soon though and let her know that Shawn was here so she could bring Aiden. Being around Stephanie had been hard lately though because he found himself wanting to kiss her or almost blurting out how he felt. Just yesterday as they left the arena he had almost kissed her so he wasn't sure how today was going to go. He needed to stop thinking about that though because his attention needed to be fully on Aiden today and make sure Shawn didn't mess anything up.

"Paul!" Shawn shouted breaking him out of his thoughts. He slipped his phone in the pocket of his pants and made it over to his bedroom door and opened it.

"I'm up" Paul replied coming into the living room to see Shawn sitting on the couch with Rebecca and he was flipping through channels on the television.

"About time. I'm ready to meet Aiden"

"I'll call Steph as soon as I'm out of the shower"

"You can wait until later to take a shower"

"I still have to wait a while to make sure they are awake"

"Paul it's almost noon I'm sure they are up." Damn. Had he really slept that long? He hadn't even noticed the time when he had checked his cellphone. He had just been checking to see if he had missed any calls or texts from Stephanie.

"Fine can I at least get a bottle of water?" Paul asked walking away from him to the kitchen not waiting for a reply. It didn't look like he was going to get his shower this morning. Shawn was annoying today or maybe it was just because he was so frustrated.

Once he reached the refrigerator he pulled it open and grabbed a bottle of water. He walked over to the counter and leaned up against it as he took a drink of his water. Then he pulled his phone out of his pocket again to call Stephanie and he suddenly felt nervous just staring at the phone. He really hoped Shawn would be on his best behavior and make sure not to call Paul dad to Aiden. Shawn had promised that he would do everything Paul asked when he had told him Stephanie agreed to let Shawn meet Aiden. Now he just had to make sure Shawn followed through and everything should go smoothly. If it didn't well he would have to endure Stephanie's wrath, not Shawn. Taking a breath, he dialed her number and put the phone to his ear and waited for her to pick up.

"Hello" Stephanie answered and he smiled upon hearing her voice.

"Hey" Paul replied sitting his bottle of water on the counter. "What are you up to?"

"Nothing much. Aiden decided to be a big ball of energy today" Stephanie replied with a chuckle.

"Well I just wanted to call and let you know that Shawn is here. So are you still up to bringing Aiden to meet him?"

"Yeah uh I'll get Aiden ready and we will be over soon" Stephanie replied as he let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding.

"I'll see you soon then" Paul said hanging up the phone and grabbed his bottle of water before heading back into the living room to let Shawn know they would be there soon.

"So are you going to call them now?" Shawn asked looking at him as he came into the living room and flopped down in a chair next to the couch.

"I already did. They will be here soon" Paul replied taking another drink of his water and he watched Rebecca stand up from the couch.

"Then I'm going to get going" Rebecca said grabbing her purse. "Stephanie knows nothing about me knowing about him and she doesn't know me very well. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable or cause problems for you Paul."

"Are you sure? You don't have to leave. I'm sure with you being Shawn's wife it would make sense to her why you know"

"I'm sure. Besides I have friends here that I'm dying to see so you guys have fun and let me know when they leave"

"Okay well be careful and text me" Shawn replied standing up and giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

"I will" Rebecca replied and made her way out of the living room. Once the door to the apartment shut Paul looked over at Shawn who had took his seat back on the couch.

"Remember, do not mention to Aiden I'm his dad and do not and I repeat do not use bad language in front of him" Paul said sternly.

"Look at you going into daddy mode" Shawn laughed while Paul just shook his head at him.

"I mean it Shawn."

"I know and I won't do any of those" Shawn assured him before returning his attention back to the television and started flipping through channels again.

"I'm nervous" Paul admitted before taking a drink of his water again.

"Don't be. I already told you I won't do anything to mess this up"

"It's not entirely that" Paul replied staring at the television as Shawn kept flipping through the channels. He wished he would just find something to watch already.

"What else are you nervous about?"

"I almost kissed Stephanie last night when we were leaving. I walked over to her car with her because we were talking about Aiden and when we went to say our goodbyes I almost leaned down to kiss her goodbye" Paul said noticing the channels weren't being changed on the television anymore. He looked over at Shawn who was looking at him.

"You just need to tell her how you feel already. It's apparent you're not moving on so that is the only other option here Paul"

"I find myself almost blurting out to her the way I feel lately too. I think you're right though. I think I'm going to have to tell her and just hope it doesn't majorly affect anything between us. Maybe if she doesn't feel the same way then she can let me down and I can try moving on. Not today though because I'm already nervous about you and Aiden meeting" Paul replied running a hand through his hair and Shawn just nodded his head at him.

"I think that's a good idea and if things don't go the way you want then I'll be here for you"

"Thanks. I know I can always count on you" Paul said giving a small smile before returning his attention back to the television. Hopefully his heart wouldn't be crushed too badly because he was almost positive it wasn't going to go the way he wanted it to.

Stephanie held Aiden's hand as they walked across the parking lot to Paul's apartment building. She tried to hurry them along as the wind blew making her teeth chatter. It was really cold today and she didn't want Aiden catching a cold. Hell she didn't even really want to come but she had already told Paul that Aiden could meet Shawn. She was just so nervous about it though and she was afraid she had only agreed to this because she was getting caught up in her feelings for Paul. That couldn't happen and she had to make sure that it didn't because Aiden was the most important thing to her.

"Where are we going mommy?" Aiden asked again. The whole way there he had kept asking over and over where they were going.

"I told you it's a surprise" Stephanie chuckled at his impatience. He had been asking about Paul since he had woken up and she thought it was probably because he's used to Paul being there a lot now.

When they finally made it inside the building they headed straight for the elevator and Stephanie let Aiden push the button. It didn't take long before the doors opened and they stepped inside and she pushed the button for Paul's floor.

"Are we almost there?" Aiden asked impatiently swinging their joined hands.

"Yes we are almost there. I promise" Stephanie replied with a smile as the elevator doors opened again and they stepped out into the hall. She led Aiden down the hallway and took a breath to calm her racing heart as they made it to Paul's door.

They stopped at his door and Stephanie stood there for a couple of seconds just staring at the door while Aiden just looked up at her. Finally, she composed herself and tried shaking the nervous feeling away and lifted her hand and knocked on his door. It seemed they were standing there for a while but in reality it only was maybe a minute before the door opened.

"Hey" Paul greeted them and Aiden's face lit up.

"Paul!" Aiden shouted excitedly letting go of Stephanie's hand and Paul crouched down to Aiden's level to catch him in his arms as Aiden ran to him. Stephanie just stood in the doorway watching them with a smile on her face. It warmed her heart to watch the display in front of her.

"You can come in Steph" Paul said getting up from his position as he kept hold of Aiden and moved away from the door to let her in.

"Thanks" Stephanie replied coming into the apartment and shutting the door behind her. "He has been asking about you all morning."

"Is that right?" Paul asked looking at Aiden and he nodded his head. "I have a friend over. Do you want to meet him?"

"Sure" Aiden replied with a shrug and Paul carried him off to the living room. Stephanie followed behind them and her eyes immediately fell on Shawn when she made into the living room. He was sitting on the couch leaning forward with a smile on his face as Paul put Aiden down.

"Aiden this is my best friend Shawn. Shawn this is Aiden" Paul said introducing them.

"Hey Aiden. It's nice to meet you"

"It's nice to meet you too" Aiden replied with a smile before he went to sit in a chair beside of the couch.

"Hey Steph" Shawn greeted her with a smile also "It's good to see you again. You haven't tried getting in anyone else's car lately, have you?"

"It's good to see you again too and no" Stephanie replied feeling the heat rush to her cheeks. Of course he had to remember that.

"Shawn knock it off" Paul said and Shawn let out a laugh.

"I was only teasing her. I wasn't trying to be mean."

"It's fine Paul. I know how Shawn is, I just wished he didn't remember that about me" Stephanie replied with an embarrassed chuckle. At least he wasn't an asshole to her over keeping Aiden a secret from Paul. That was another thing she had been nervous about but Shawn seemed to be as laid back as he usually was.

"So how do you want to do this" Paul whispered as he came over and stood beside of her. "Do you want Shawn to give me the gift to give to Aiden so he can watch Aiden unwrap it or do you want Shawn just to give it to him?"

"It would probably be better for you to give the gift to Aiden" Stephanie whispered back before Paul went over to Shawn and whispered what she assumed was the plan to him.

"I'll be right back" Shawn announced getting up from the couch and walking away from them down the hallway.

"You can sit down Steph. Make yourself comfortable" Paul said motioning towards the couch before he walked over and sat down. She walked over to the couch and sat down beside of him feeling less nervous than before. So far things were going good, she just hoped they continued going smoothly. "I'm sorry for Shawn teasing you earlier."

"Don't worry about it Paul, really. If I remember correctly, you did the same thing not too long ago" Stephanie replied as he stretched his arm out and let it rest behind her on the couch. "I just wished I had something to tease you two about."

"Well Shawn was tipsy and on the car ride home he sang really loud and quite horribly so there is something you could tease him with about that night. Me on the other hand, I was a perfect angel."

"Oh really?" Stephanie asked arching her eyebrow and he leaned closer to her. His face inches from hers and she swallowed thickly feeling her heart start to accelerate.

"Yes really" Paul replied in almost a whisper and then she jumped back when she heard someone loudly clear their throat. She turned her head around to see Shawn staring at them with Aiden's gift in his hands.

"Sorry didn't want to interrupt but I didn't want to stand here feeling like an idiot either" Shawn said with a laugh as he walked around the couch and Paul got up from the couch taking the gift from Shawn.

"You weren't interrupting anything" Stephanie replied quickly trying to calm her racing heart. She didn't have time to see Shawn's reaction to what she had said though as her attention immediately went to Aiden when she heard him gasp. His eyes were wide as he looked at the gift Paul was now holding. It was like he already knew the gift was for him.

"This is for you Aiden" Paul said walking over to him as Aiden kept his gaze on the gift.

"It is?" Aiden asked with excitement in his voice and Stephanie couldn't help but smile at his reaction.

"Yeah. Do you want to open it?"

"Yeah!" Aiden replied nodding his head and Paul chuckled and handed the gift to him.

"What do you say Aiden?" Stephanie asked as she watched him tear through the wrapping paper.

"Thank you" Aiden replied with his attention still fully on his gift.

Once he had ripped all the wrapped paper off he stood up excited and showed his gift off. It was a remote controlled car that Stephanie knew he would have fun playing with.

"Do you like it?" Paul asked and he nodded his head. "Let's find some batteries to put in it and then we will play with it. How does that sound?"

"Fun" Aiden replied and they all laughed.

A couple of hours later Stephanie sat on the couch running her fingers through Aiden's hair as he slept peacefully. He had climbed up on the couch and put his head in her lap and drifted off to sleep. It was kind of weird considering how earlier this morning he had so much energy when he had woken up. She was sure that all had been run out though as Paul and Shawn had played with him. Hopefully this little nap he was taking wouldn't keep him up past his bedtime.

"You're still playing with that?" Paul asked with a laugh and she looked at Shawn was standing over to the side of the television playing with Aiden's remote controlled car.

"It's fun" Shawn replied with a laugh of his own. Stephanie chuckled and leaned her head back against the couch feeling relaxed. Aiden meeting Shawn had gone really good and Shawn hadn't said anything inappropriate or accidently called Paul dad to Aiden. She could finally stop worrying and just relax.

"Hopefully my son will get to take it home with him because right now it looks like you might try stealing it" Paul said still watching Shawn.

"You can't steal something you bought" Shawn laughed "but no I'm not taking this away from him."

"No you won't because you know I'll kick your ass."

"Ha! You can try. Oh by the way thanks Steph for letting me meet Aiden" Shawn said looking over at her "It means a lot."

"You're welcome" Stephanie replied with a smile.

"He looks so much like Paul but thank God he looks a lot like you too."

"Hey what are you trying to say about me?" Paul asked playfully punching him on the arm.

"Exactly the way it sounded" Shawn laughed moving away from Paul as he went to punch him on the arm again.

"I happen to think he's very good looking" Stephanie blurted out without even thinking and then she looked down feeling the heat in her cheeks. She couldn't believe she had just said that out loud.

"You have to say that though because you have a child with him."

"No she's saying that because she knows that it's the truth" Paul replied and she raised her head a little to see the smirk on Paul's face.

"Yeah keep believing that if it makes you feel better. I'll be right back I have a phone call to make" Shawn replied putting the remote down to the toy car and walked away.

Stephanie put her head back down just watching her fingers as they ran through Aiden's hair. God she felt so embarrassed and she wasn't sure how to dig her way out of what she said. At least they hadn't teased her about it, yet anyway. This was probably a good opportunity for her to leave so she couldn't be embarrassed any further. Besides she needed to get home since Aiden was asleep because she really had no business staying there even though she did have feelings for Paul. They weren't dating.

"So I think I'm going to get Aiden home since he is asleep" Stephanie said after clearing her throat.

"Are you sure?" Paul asked and she looked up at him and nodded her head still embarrassed and hardly able to make eye contact. "Well let me carry Aiden to the car for you."

"Okay."

Once they made it outside to her car Stephanie opened the back door for Paul so he could put Aiden in and then she went over to her door. She wrapped her arms around herself trying to stay warm as she watched Paul put Aiden in carefully not to wake up him and then buckled him into his seat. When he was done he shut the door as quietly as he could but enough to make sure it was shut good.

"Cold?" Paul asked her when he turned around to see her shaking a little. She nodded her head as her teeth started to chatter a little. It felt even colder than earlier when her and Aiden had arrived. "Here."

She watched as he came closer and unzipped the front of his jacket. Then he pulled her into him and wrapped his arms around her. She laid her head on his chest feeling the heat of his chest against hers and relaxed against him inhaling the scent of his cologne. She wasn't sure why he had done what he had instead of just letting her get into the car but right now she didn't care. This was like heaven to her especially as he ran his hands up and down her back sending waves of pleasure through her and she bit down on her bottom lip enjoying the moment.

"Thank you for today. It really did mean a lot" Paul said softly.

"You're welcome" Stephanie replied back just as softly before she raised her head up off his chest and smiled at him. Then she leaned over and kissed him softly on the cheek. When she pulled back she looked into his eyes for a moment and then let her eyes travel down to his lips. Before she even knew what she was doing she closed her eyes and leaned over and pressed her lips against his.
