A few days later, Allie and Carlie came home from the hospital. Brianne had helped Bobby plan a party for them. So, his family and hers could see the baby and spend time with her.

"She is so precious," Sandy said as she held her granddaughter.

"She is that," Greta added. "We have a beautiful, precious granddaughter."

"Alright, don't hog my niece," Brianne said with a smile. Sandy laughed as she handed Carlie over to her. "You are beautiful." She replied. "I think you look like your mom more than your dad."

"Thanks, Brianne." Bobby laughed.

"Sorry but she looks more like Allie."

He smiled. "She does. I do agree with that."

"Guys, she looks like us both," Allie replied with a smile.

"I agree with Allie," Greta replied.

Everyone stayed for a little while and held the baby and gushed over how cute she was. Eventually, everyone left leaving Bobby and Allie with Carlie.

"Alright, you need to rest," Bobby said as he put Carlie in the co-sleeper in their room. "She's sleeping and you should be too." Allie nodded and laid down by Carlie and was soon asleep.

Bobby headed into the home office while they slept. He had some files to go through and then send them to AJ. He had arranged for some time off to help Allie with Carlie but he agreed to do some work at home when he had the time. He would have four weeks with both of them before he headed back to work.

"Allie looked happy," Chris said to his wife when they arrived home with Sophia.

"She did look happy," Brianne replied. "She has what she wanted for so long. I just hope they can stay happy."

"They will." He replied and kissed her. He pulled away. "So, Phil was quiet today at the party. He held Carlie and talked some but not a lot."

Brianne sighed. "He still has that dislike for Bobby. Despite that Allie is happy and they have a new baby, he still doesn't like Bobby."

"And he has never said why?"

"No. He just says he thinks Bobby isn't good enough for her. That Bobby is selfish and only thinks about himself. But I think Phil is wrong."

"I agree there," Chris added. "Bobby has always put Allie first and now with Carlie, I know he will put his family first."

"Yeah, I agree with that." She sighed. "Well, let's not talk about my brother. Miss Sophia is down so, lets go nap." He smiled and followed her to the bedroom.

The next few weeks went by and Allie was soon alone with Carlie. She had enjoyed the time with both Bobby and Carlie but now it was just her and Carlie.

"You don't look frazzled like a new mom," Brianne said as she held Carlie.

Allie laughed. "I guess I don't. I just am taking things a little at a time. I try not to get overwhelmed with everything but it does take some time getting use to being not just a wife but a stay at home mom as well."

"Everything in time," Brianne replied.

"Yeah, I know," Allie replied. She smiled at Brianne and Carlie. "I couldn't imagine anything better than being a mom."

"You sound like me. I love being a mom." Brianne replied. Allie smiled. She knew the feeling. She hoped she and Bobby would have more and she knew they would have to do in vitro again to have more but she was willing to do it to have more children.

"How's the baby?" AJ asked Bobby as he walked into his office.

"She's good. Finally sleeping through the night." Bobby replied.

"So, are you and Allie back to normal?"

"We are getting use to being parents." He replied.

"Yeah you are parents but you can't stop being husband and wife." He replied. He looked out toward the desk outside the door. "Unless, you want to use someone else to occupy your time."

"Not interested," Bobby replied. "And I have a lot of work to do."

"Alright," AJ said to him. "I'll see you later." Bobby nodded as AJ left.

Bobby arrived home that night hoping he and Allie could have a romantic evening. He called her and said he would pick up take-out for dinner so she wouldn't have to cook.

"Hey, beautiful." He said walking in the nursery.

"Hey." She replied quietly.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, she's just been really fussy today." She replied. "And she's finally asleep. And I pray she stays that way."

"Well, I brought home dinner."

"Thanks." She smiled as she got up slowly and put Carlie into her crib and they headed downstairs for dinner.

"So, I was thinking we could have a romantic night with Carlie sleeping."

"I would love that but I'm so tired. Maybe tomorrow night?"

He sighed. "Yeah, alright."

"I'm really sorry. I'm just really tired." She looked at her husband. "You're really mad aren't you?"

"No, I'm not mad." He replied. "I just wanted to spend some time with my wife tonight."

"I know." She replied. "And I want us to spend time together." She sighed. "Tomorrow night, we will have a romantic night."

"Alright, tomorrow night." He said as they finished up.

Allie sighed as they got ready for bed that night. She knew he was angry about them not having the romantic night which she knew was really about wanting to be intimate. But she was just so tired from the day and dealing with a fussy baby, she just wasn't in a romantic mood. And it had been like that over the last few months. Carlie was just being a difficult baby and it took all of her energy to handle it. Leaving nothing for her husband and she felt horrible about that. She hoped the next night Carlie would be a little calmer and she and Bobby could have the romantic night he had been wanting.

Bobby sat in his office looking over some new clients files. The last few months had been a little strained with him and Allie. Allie's focus was on Carlie and he knew that it should be like that but he missed her.

"I have those files you requested," Alexa said walking into his office.

"Thanks." He replied and took them from her. "Oh, we will be working late tonight on a new profile for a client. It needs to done as soon as possible. Are you okay with working late?"

"Of course." She replied and headed back out. She smiled to herself. She would have him alone in the whole office. She had seen how frustrated he was with everything at home and this was her chance. She would just have to play it right and use what was wrong at home to get him to want her and be with her.

Bobby arrived home that night late. He walked into the house and sighed when he saw the romantic dinner set up. He had completely forgotten that Allie had planned a romantic night. He walked into the living room and saw Allie asleep on the sofa.

"Hey, I waited up for you." She said when she woke up hearing him come in.

"Sorry, I'm so late. Those files were never-ending."

"It's okay." She smiled. "I know things haven't been especially romantic with us lately and I wanted tonight to be different. Carlie was easy today so, I thought romantic night."

He sighed. "I'm sorry I was late."

"It's okay." She smiled. "We still have the rest of the night."

"I'm going to shower first." He said before kissing her and headed upstairs. Allie followed and got ready for bed.

He stood in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. The thoughts of what happened at work still on his mind. He and Alexa were going through some files and she leaned over and kissed him. He didn't pull away like he knew he should have. And before he realized it, they were on the sofa in his office having sex. He knew it was because he and Allie hadn't been very romantic lately and he missed the intimate contact with someone. Now being home, he felt very guilty about it. He wasn't going to tell Allie what happened and he swore to himself that it wouldn't happen again. It was a mistake and he wouldn't let it happen again.
