Chapter Ten
Lindsay awoke with a smile on her face as she looked up to see her husband sleeping peacefully. She sighed contently and kissed Danny's chin.
"Montana." Danny groaned as Lindsay ran her finger down the stubble on his jaw. "Sleep."
"You have work." Lindsay said once the shock wore off from being called 'Montana'.
"You'ave work." Danny retorted in a child like voice.
"Baby, get up." Lindsay laughed as she pushed herself up off his chest.
"No." Danny said as he pulled her back down on top of him. "Stay."
"Dan, I have to get Avery up." Lindsay mumbled against his chest.
"No you don't." Danny said pulling her tighter against him.
"Danny." She warned in her motherly voice as she freed herself from his grip.
"Montana." He whined as she pulled away, causing Lindsay to stop and gaze at him.
"What?" she asked as she dropped a gentle kiss to his lips, she smirked when he responded and flipped her over on her back.
"Can we have sex now?" Danny asked as he kissed down her jaw and nuzzled her neck.
"No." Lindsay laughed and pushed him off her. "We have work and a child to get ready."
"Fine." Danny huffed and laid back down on his back while Lindsay sat up in the bed and looked down at him. "What?" Danny asked as she cupped his cheek and placed a light kiss to his mouth.
"You don't know?" Lindsay asked as she ran her hand through his hair.
"Know what?" Danny questioned confused.
"You called me Montana." Lindsay explained with a bright smile.
"Yeah?" Danny asked as he sat up in bed. "Because you come from Montana."
"Yeah, at first you called me it to annoy me, then it turned into a term of endearment." Lindsay said softly and kissed him again before getting out of the bed.
"Where you goin'?" Danny asked with a smirk.
"To get your son up." Lindsay laughed. "He's just as difficult as you."
"Can I get him up?" Danny asked as he got off the bed and stood nervously in front of Lindsay.
"Of course, he would love that." Lindsay smiled and wrapped her arms around Danny's neck and pulled him close. She felt Danny smile into her neck and trace circles on her hips.
"You know we still have time before work." Danny mumbled as they pulled away.
"No." Lindsay laughed and pushed Danny towards the door. "I'm gonna get a shower."
"Need help?" Danny asked.
"No, get Avery ready." Lindsay laughed and closed the bathroom door behind her.
"Woman." Danny grumbled as he opened the door to Avery's room.
Danny smiled as he saw Avery sleeping peacefully, an Eeyore tucked under his right arm and his left arm above his head, bent at the elbow. He laughed and kneeled next to Avery's bed, studying his features carefully. He smiled and gently ran his hand through Avery's hair.
"Avery." Danny whispered and smiled at how the little boy's eyes fluttered open to look at him, then close again. "Wake up."
"No." he grumbled and flipped on his side, his back towards Danny.
"Come'on, you gotta get ready for whatever you're suppose to get ready for." Danny laughed and gently shook Avery.
"Daddy." He whined and flipped on his stomach. "Sleep."
"Yeah, I know." Danny laughed and stood and picked Avery up and threw him over his shoulder.
"Daddy." He squealed happily as Danny walked him into the kitchen.
"There you go." Danny laughed and put Avery down on the counter. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"I don't want breftest." He said and yawned.
"Cereal it is." Danny laughed and searched for the cereal and made a bowl for himself and his son.
"Thanks." He mumbled and started eating.
"Anytime." Danny said with a smile and kissed the top of Avery's head.
"Hey." Lindsay said with a cheery smile as she entered the kitchen. "Avery, get off the counter."
"Daddy did it." Avery said and put his cereal aside and jumped off the counter.
"Sorry." Danny said putting his empty bowl in the sink and pulling Lindsay back against him. "It was an accident."
"Avery accidently ended up on the counter?" Lindsay laughed turning around in Danny's arms.
"Yup." Danny laughed and kissed her nose. He continued to just gaze and smile at her.
"What?" Lindsay asked, blushing a little.
"Nothing, I just like this." Danny said reaching up to put a stray hair behind her ear.
"Me too." Lindsay said and kissed him and he quickly deepened the kiss. "Danny." She moaned as she pulled away breathless.
"Yeah?" he asked, kissing her again.
"You have to get ready for work." She said as Avery walked in and put his bowl in the sink. "And you have to get ready for school."
"I don't wanna." Avery whined.
"I know, I know." Lindsay laughed as she grabbed Danny's hand and pulled him behind her.
"Mommy, do I gotta?" Avery asked standing outside his door.
"Yes." Lindsay laughed and followed Danny into the master bedroom.
"Come here." Danny said as he pulled her close to him and attacked her lips. She smiled into the kiss and played with the hair on the nape of his neck.
"Wow." Lindsay said as they pulled away.
"Imagine what it would be if we had sex." Danny said with a devilish smirk.
"I know what it's like, you're the one who has to imagine." Lindsay said and pecked his lips before leaving the bedroom.
"Mean." She heard Danny laugh as she walked into Avery's room.
"Hey, get dressed." Lindsay said as she moved to her son's small closest and pulled out a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt.
"Okay." He grumbled and put the clothes on. "Mommy?"
"Yeah?" Lindsay asked as she helped Avery put his socks on.
"Is Daddy back for good?" he asked shyly.
"What do you mean?" Lindsay asked sitting on the bed next to Avery.
"Is he gonna move back in?" Avery asked with a yawn.
"Not yet." Lindsay said and kissed the boy's blonde hair. "But he will."
"Good." Avery said and jumped off the bed.
