It had been four months since the arrival of their daughter, and a year since their wedding. Now wearing a red spaghetti strap dress, Lilly walked into the lavish restaurant in Chestnut Hill. Though her figure was back, she hated the fact that her top half was still big; due to still breastfeeding. However, she had a scarf wrapped around disguising anyone from looking there.
After being escorted to the table, Lilly sat down in front of a burning candle. She felt odd until seeing a bouquet of red roses being placed down in front of her. Upon looking up John stood there looking very handsome in the same suit, that he was wearing early on.
With a small kiss, he then sat down, "Look you beautiful tonight".
She blushed, knowing that she did in fact feel that way, but sighed when she couldn't still drink any wine. Lilly somehow managed to drink some ice water instead, as John looked over at her, eying her cleavage.
Almost immediately she tried to cover it up, but saw that her husband like what he was seeing," Don't tell me you want a picture of me to hide in your office", she teased after the pinup girl case.
He chuckled in amusement, "Would last very long in there", seeing him pulling out the camera.
"Don't you dare", seeing the flash going off. Lilly shook her head, "Got pinup Fantasies about me John, I don't know about"?
The look on his face was priceless but he didn't answer, prompting her to crack a small laughter, "So that's what you've been dreaming about".
"I don't dream Lil", teasing her.
Lilly shivered from the coldness, "So might I ask is how you got reservations to this place"?
"I have connections", trying to be secretive, "Thought it be nice to take you here, since it is our one year anniversary".
When the waiter came, the two ordered their meals before John looked at his wife, remembered how she looked when coming down the aisle, " I do have one in my office of you on our wedding day; didn't know at the time you were carrying our little girl".
The blonde smile while taking a sip of water, "Amelia kicked up a storm while I was walking down the aisle, guess she heard how fast my heart was going".
"I think Scotty was even breathless, how you looked. He did tell me to take care of you at the altar", his hand touching hers.
She then eyed her wedding ring; remembering how John slipped it onto her finger that day. From the look in his eyes to their kiss was probably the most wonderful thing at the moment. Given her a daughter was something she had wanted for a long time, which at the time was growing inside.
"So what other romantic things do you have in mind for tonight"?
John chuckled a bit, seeing how Lilly was grinning at him. He did feel lucky to be with such a beautiful woman whom had become his wife a year ago today; but like the compliments about her having a model's body; which he had kept to himself.
As the two ate their dinners, each kept glancing upward eying each other. When the music had started to play, he automatically led her onto the dance floor. Somehow the two had seemed to be the best dancers out on the floor, but Lilly's eyes remained closed while listening to the band playing on. When the beat got faster; she was certainly heated up the floor.
Just moments after she had finished dancing, the two left and headed towards a hotel for the night. From there Lilly came out dressed like a 50's pinup girl for John, who certainly got him aroused. She had tied her hair back in pigtails and was wearing shorts and a top, but continued to put on a mini G rated show for him.
John sat back growing more aroused by his wife, as he reached for the camera to snap a few shots of her. Somehow Lilly posed for a few photos; while flashing that dazzling smile he loved so much.
"You going to brag about this"?
He shook his head, while continuing to take more shots of her, "There for my eyes to see".
Lilly shook her head; "To keep you entertained between cases", while slowly running her hand down her leg, seeing John releasing a breath, "Or is this going to hoard by both Vera and Scotty"?
"Would I let them see pictures of you like this", was making Lilly start to up the ratings on it. However as she then pushed him back, capturing his lips while pushing herself against him; he moaned while his hands ran down her back feverishly.
Each of their kisses towards each other caused more love to blossom in their marriage, before Lilly pulled back watching as John eyed her. He knew that she was glowing with more beauty ever since having their daughter, just four months ago.
While Lilly got back to posing for him, John was eying every part of her body; including that of her long legs. As he then reached out he then felt the smooth skin; before feeling her straddling him; as his pants and her shorts then fell to the floor.
Lilly rocked herself up and down on him, hearing John moaning in pleasure. Not surprisingly, he then proceeded to lay her down on the bed; before climbing on top of her. While he slide in deep; she moaned, gasped while thrusting her hips hard against his.
His breathing grew heavier by the moment, while devouring her lips with his. As the two moved together in their bed of roses; Lilly knew at this moment she wouldn't be married to anyone in the world but him. Just moments after the earth had shook in the bed, the two lay there looking into each other's eyes.
Reaching up to moved away the tendril from her forehead; John could see a pair of two blue eyes staring back at him.
"Happy Anniversary Lil", his voice whispered softly while sealing her lips with a single kiss.
Lilly smiled softly, before seeing him pouring some water into a plastic wine glass. Her head shook in wonder, "Since when do you not drink around me"?
He then got up to put back on his pants, in between checking his phone which was a disguise for him to get out a small box from out of his sports jacket. While John was in the midst of doing that, Lilly had changed into a long white gown which made her feel sexy, but in a good way.
"Close your eyes", he whispered softly.
Doing what she was told, John then clasped something around her neck. Just moments after he instructed her to open them; Lilly caught sight of a tiny heart necklace with a touch of pink inside.
"The moment I saw you coming down to me, I knew you were mine", kissing her neck. Lilly watched through the reflection in the mirror; seeing just how much love there was shared between them as a couple.
Lilly then turned and captured his lips, "How about we recreate that kiss, which we shared a year ago". Starting out slowly their lips slowly came together, taking the time to cherish and feel each other before it grew deeper.
Pulling away softly, Lilly smiled, "That's the one, except this time I'm not feeling someone hiccupping inside of me".
"Little did we know that it would be our daughter Lil", still looking into each other eyes, "I'm glad I could give you one".
Her lips them formed a smile, before clinking her glass with him, "Happy Anniversary", as the two spent the rest of the night in a room full of romance. By the next morning, they returned home finding Scotty holding Amelia; while she continued drooling all over his grey hooded sweatshirt.
At that point; Lilly took her daughter into her arms while wiping it away from her mouth. Scotty watched how both her and John each kissing the smiling four month old. He could tell that Lilly was very happy in her marriage; but for himself he felt nervous about becoming a father to twins. Though now he was moving in with Kat; there was something different about both John and Lilly.
Upon seeing John holding Amelia in his arms, Scotty had to smile, "You make a better dad, which I would".
" Being a good one doesn't happen overnight Scotty, I've had twenty- eight years of being a dad so far" , trying to give Scotty a good piece of advice but found it hard to with a four month old in his arms. For the time being, John took Amelia upstairs for a changing while Lilly stayed downstairs straightening up after Scotty had left.
One thing she hated was the fact that her partner wasn't as neat and tidy as he claimed. For one thing, empty bottles lay on the counter while glasses piled up in the sink. Plus Lilly had discovered that Scotty had directly drunk out of the milk carton before putting it back.
When John came down he also saw it, "That surprise you Lil"?
"No", seeing the mess in the kitchen, "I hate to see what Kat has to deal with", before noticing that Amelia was now in a tiny pink dress. Sure enough she was turning into a Daddy's girl; but that wasn't such a bad thing.
While Lilly cleaned up after her pigpen partner, she scowled in frustration about the fact that her partner had to make a complete mess. To top it off; Lilly totally forgot that today she was needed over at Christina's place.
A hand then touched the small of her back, "Go I'll stay here and clean up", offered John, seeing Lilly taking Amelia out of his arms. Not long after she had left, he didn't exactly do what he had promised, instead headed over to Jefferies for a poker game.
Moments after arriving over at Christina's, she took couldn't take her eyes off of her little niece. However Christina liked seeing her older sister acting as a mother, as her hand rested on her stomach. Being pregnant had its ups and downs but she didn't like it as much as Lilly cherished her own pregnancy.
A few hours later, the sisters were speaking softly, "Ever think of where Dad went off to"? Asked Lilly.
Christina let out a sigh, "He probably doesn't think about us Lil", seeing a photo of her sister as a little girl holding onto their father's hand, "You still love him"?
"I do", whispered Lilly, "Always wondered where he ran off to", peering over at Amelia, "At least she'll grow up with one, John's already spoiling her rotten".
Her hand then slipped onto her sister's stomach, as the two rekindled stories from their childhood. It felt good to speak about those memories; especially when Christina pulled out a picture of Lilly being held in her father's arms.
At this point Lilly held back tears; while carefully studying the picture, "Why couldn't he have just stayed Chris, we would have had a better childhood"?
"You don't know that Lil", before looking at a photo of John holding Amelia, "I know that John isn't like Dad, he never abandoned his eldest daughter".
Lilly nodded knowing that what Christina was saying was true, "Do you think he even thinks about us", still wishing that she could see the face of her father again. However Christina then felt a certain kicking inside, "He's kicking again"?
"He", raising her eyebrows. Christina let out a breath, "I'm thinking of naming him Aiden, but I'm sure", knowing that she wasn't about to get married, not after her fiancé had dumped her. However she remained strong and was looking forward to motherhood, "I was him and Amelia to be close like us Lil, and we're family".
Lilly gave a small smile, knowing that this weekend it was just an all girls weekend. While John was left alone, he missed his moments with Amelia; hating to not be with her. However he knew that it was good that she was spending the weekend with her aunt. To him family matter, since John was heading on over to his eldest daughter's house to spend some time with both her and Sean.
