A/N: Because you guys totally rock at reviewing lately, here's a really long update like I promised. Enjoy!

Chapter TWELVE

Kimberly had just finished applying her make up when the door to their bedroom opened and Bobby appeared. His eyes took in the blue jeans and white short-sleeved sweater she had quickly slipped on before he sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned back on his elbows. "What's with the clothes?"

"I can't walk around naked."

"I don't see why not." He smirked as she rolled her eyes and scratched under his chin. "La Vida Loca and Marley are downstairs."

She paused from putting her hair back into a high pony tail. "La Vida…" She sighed and pulled her hair through the band. "I'm guessing Marley stayed with them last night?"

"I came home last night to find them here watching a movie and it was too late to call Jerry so I asked them to keep her." He watched her put on her earrings and a necklace. "I'm starting to think with as much as they come over they might be having problems where they're at."

"What kind of problems?"

Bobby shrugged. "We are talking La Vida Loca, it could be a long list."

Kimberly rolled her eyes and reached for her LAMB perfume bottle. "Be nice." She squirted her wrists and rubbed them together. "Maybe you should ask them if they want to move back here."

"Really?"

She sat down the bottle and glanced into the mirror at the dresser, her eyes catching his in the reflection. "There's no reason why they can't move back into their old room. You're just using it for storage."

"I'll think about it." He glanced towards the door. "I don't know if I can take hearing her voice every day."

"Bobby, stop it."

He grinned, smile widening at seeing her approach the bed and when she was close, he grabbed her wrists, laughing as she squealed when he pulled her down on top of him. "I love you."

She squirmed at the feeling of him reaching between them. "Don't you dare Bobby; I just took a shower!"

He lifted his head in order to capture her mouth in a quick kiss. "You can take another one."

"Bobby, I just dressed and I'd like to go downstairs and say hello to Sofi and Marley. I haven't seen Marley in forever and I've missed her. Please?" Kimberly smiled as he sighed and stalled his movements. "We can finish this later."

"Swear it."

"Oh stop." She hit him harmlessly on the chest then rolled off to stand on her feet again, hands smoothing her shirt. "I was thinking about doing some shopping today; there were some things I need and if I'm going to be moving back in…"

"Need some cash?"

"Don't be ridiculous." Her immediate response had both of them pausing. She watched as Bobby sat up and clasped his hands together, those brown eyes darkening.

"Why is it ridiculous?" He asked with a curious but firm tone.

"I didn't mean-"

"What exactly did that bitch mean last night when she called you the billionaire beauty?"

Kimberly bit back the urge to sigh and shifted uncomfortably on her feet. "When my father passed away two years ago, I inherited the company and a lump sum of money."

"How much money?"

"Enough."

"How much is enough?"

"I don't like talking about it Bobby."

"I'm sorry to hear that but I want to talk about it." He grabbed both of his knees but remained seated on the bed. "I think I have the right to know."

"I don't see how telling you will solve anything. It's not important."

"What if I told you it was important to me?"

Kimberly crossed her arms against her chest. "I'd say that's disappointing because how much I have in the bank shouldn't be important Bobby." At his face remaining serious and focused, she sighed. "Enough as in I don't have to worry about working ever again."

"Why can't you just fucking tell me the number?" Bobby sprang to his feet. "If I can handle Anita fucking making twenty-five million selling her body, I think I can handle whatever figure you throw at me."

"Selling? She's a model and from what I remember you telling me, you didn't handle learning about her twenty-five million dollars very well. In fact, I think hissy fit described your reaction perfectly."

"That is not fucking true!"

"No? Your exact words when I asked you before if you got angry about something as trivial as a truck went something like that. That kind of response doesn't automatically make me assume you were dancing in circles when you found out!"

"Trivial?" Bobby scoffed. "Buying someone a fucking truck on a whim isn't trivial!"

"It was just a truck and obviously you didn't hate it too much since it's sitting in our damn driveway right now!"

"Don't try to change the subject Kimberly; this isn't about Anita or the truck, this is about you."

"No." She shook her head. "It's about money. I'm not going to get into this with you right now; our entire morning has been fantastic so far, and I'm not going to ruin it by fighting with you over your insecurities!"

"I am not fucking insecure!"

"Yes, you are; anyone who says they're not is a liar."

"Oh what, you a shrink now?"

"I wish!" Kimberly snapped back. "I'd prescribe you some hormone medication!" She almost laughed at the look of shock that crossed his face. "That's right; you're acting like a damn girl!"

"I'll show you a fucking girl."

"Bobby, no!"

He ignored her protests, picking her up easily by the waist and he flung her onto the bed. His body covered hers, hands grabbing for hers and she struggled to free herself.

"Bobby! Get off!" She laughed. "Come on, get off!"

"I'm trying baby; damn, stop struggling."

She started laughing and tried hard to push his hands away but he was too strong. "Bobby! Stop!"

After a few minutes, he pinned her arms to the bed, both of them breathing hard. Bobby chuckled as he gaze down at her and he pressed his hips into his, smiling as she sighed, eyes closing half-way. "I fucking love it when you get feisty baby." Him pressing against her was a clear indication that he was telling the truth and she swallowed. "Tell me." Bobby tightened his grip on her wrists. "Tell me what I want to know Kimmy."

"I love you." She kept her eyes on his and relaxed against the bed. "I love your daughter. I want to be with you and just by looking at me you make me feel like the luckiest woman alive." She freed her right hand to bring it up to his face. "I love Bobby. Isn't that enough?"

He looked like he was going to argue but then he grabbed her hand and kissed the inside of her wrist. "I love you too."

"Hey!" Angel suddenly beat on the door. "Stop doing it for two seconds and come eat! Marley's down here demanding your presence!"

Bobby lifted himself free of the bed and she straightened her clothes, standing up also just as Bobby opened the door and glared at Angel still standing on the other side.

He smiled widely at them, a piece of bacon stuck in the corner of his mouth, and casually lifted up Bobby's discarded bowtie. "I love how ya'll redecorated the house."

"Pwetty Kimmy!"

Kimberly smiled as Marley came running straight at her and she bent down just in time to catch the little girl as she jumped. Marley giggled and threw her arms around Kimberly's neck, her little mouth finding the older woman's cheek.

"Missed you!"

"I missed you too Sweetheart." She stroked Marley's back as the child rested her head against her chest. She glanced up to find Bobby smiling softly at them as was Angel and Sofi, and shifting on her feet, she cleared her throat. "Breakfast is ready I presume?"

Angel chuckled under his breath. "Listen to your girl, talking all fancy and what not."

"Boy, don't make me smack you again." Bobby chuckled and moved forward to tickle Marley, his daughter squealing as she buried her face into Kimberly's neck. He smiled at the sight of her hands grabbing on eagerly to Kimberly's shirt and leaned forward to brush his lips against both of their foreheads. "Let's eat some breakfast."

They all fixed their plates and sat down at the table, Marley in her highchair and she clutched her tiny plastic fork in wait as she sat between Kimberly and Bobby. It wasn't long before they were all talking about anything that sprang to mind and Kimberly forgot all about her previous embarrassment and discomfort as they ate.

She sipped at her orange juice and smiled at the sight of Marley staring at the bowl of scrambled eggs. "Marley?" She lowered her glass onto table. "Would you like some eggs?"

"Yes!"

"Yes what?" Kimberly smiled as she picked up the eggs.

"Yes pwease Mommy?"

The bowl hit the table with a loud thud at the same second Angel started coughing on the food he had just shoveled into his mouth and Sofi scrambled to hit him on the back. Kimberly's wide eyes lingered on Marley's smiling face before lifting slowly to meet Bobby's. He cursed under his breath as he saw the tears that had formed on her lashes.

"Kimmy..."

"Excuse me, please." She stood up quickly and lowered her napkin onto the table. "I have to... I have..." She waved her hand. "Continue eating, please."

Bobby pushed back his chair as she practically ran out of the kitchen.

"Bobby..."

He ignored Sofi and grabbed the egg bowl. He scrambled a small portion onto Marley's plate before he sat it back down and leaning over to kiss the top of her head. His eyes lingered in the direction Kimberly had disappeared. "There you go baby."

"Bobby, sit back down and give her time. I think that yo-"

"Who the hell asked you La Vida Loca?"

Angel lowered the orange juice he had been guzzling and cleared his throat. "Calm down Bobby and listen to some common sense for once in your life."

"No one asked you either little brother. I can handle my own love life."

"Yeah, you've done a bang up job of it so far." Sofi quipped. She ignored him flipping her off from behind Marley and dug into her food. "Keep pushing like you did with Anita and-"

"You're lucky Angel loves you or I'd throw you on your ass into the street for even bringing her up." He shoved in his chair. "I'll be right back."

1212121212121212

He found Kimberly sitting on the stairs, her back against the railing. She was staring up at the pictures hanging on the wall that had been taken throughout the years as the boys grew up in the house. She didn't look over at him as he stepped up to come up beside her and sat down.

"I'm sorry."

"For what baby?" He grabbed her hand and thread their fingers together. "You don't have anything to feel sorry about."

"That wasn't the reaction you were looking for I would assume."

"I wasn't looking for any type of reaction." He frowned. "I didn't know she was going to do that. I'm the one who's sorry if she assumed..." He sighed and pressed his lips against her knuckles. "She's just confused."

She watched him kiss the back of her hand. "Do you mind?"

His eyebrows rose. "Do I mind what?"

"Kids... transfer certain relationship roles onto the adults around them when they're not available. Marley's an intelligent little girl. She's probably aware that I'm not her mother and yet she..." Kimberly inhaled a shaky breath. "She called me Mommy." Her voice cracked. "Your little girl called me Mommy."

"You're right; she is intelligent and she's also a good judge in character. She called you Mommy because that's what she wants. Marley loves you Kimberly; she wants you to be her mother..." Bobby ran his hand through his hair. "I never really talked to her about... Christ, she's only three." He chuckled. "How do you explain love to a three year old?"

Kimberly couldn't help herself and she chuckled. "What is it with men and their inability to explain the birds and the bees to children?"

Seeing her smile, he chuckled. "It's a flaw." He kissed the back of her hand again. "I can talk to her today. I'll make her understand that you're..."

"I'm the woman in love with her father." She reached out to stroke the side of his face, his cheeks already beginning to become scruffy to the touch. "I don't mind her calling me Mommy but it's more than just a nickname. It's..."

"I'm aware of what it means." He captured her other hand. "I told you, Marley is a good judge in character."

She studied her hands in his. "I'm scared of what it implies. It's a big responsibility and-"

"If there's one person in this world I know can handle responsibility, it's you Kimmy. There's nothing you can't do baby." He pressed his lips against her knuckles. "If you can love me, you can do anything."

"It's not hard to love you Bobby." She leaned into him. "It's so easy and it's... It's beyond easy to fall in love with Marley. I just don't want to disappoint anyone. My parents were...." She cleared her throat. "They loved me and they gave me everything but at the same time, they gave me nothing. I grew up having all these expensive things and in the end, they're worthless. It's not about what you have, it's about who you have."

Bobby captured her lips in a soft kiss and when he pulled away, he was smiling. "I love you."

"I love you too." She was smiling as he kissed her again. "I called out of work today."

"Oh yeah? Sounds like you plan on spending the day in bed with me instead."

"You sound awfully confident about that."

"What can I say? It's my middle name."

"Boy, you've got the longest middle name in history." Angel spoke up as he walked out of the living room. "The food is getting cold so if you two are done making out..."

"What did I tell you about talking?" Bobby rose to his feet and wrapped his arm around Angel's neck. Both men mock wrestling for a few minutes while Kimberly chuckled in amusement. Finally he let go of Angel and smoothed his hair back. "You heard the man." He stretched out his hand to her. "Come on Mommy."

Smiling, she slid her hand through his and their fingers intertwined. "I still think I might do some shopping later. Can I take Marley?" She blurted out.

"Of course you can babe." Bobby grinned. "As long as you take La Vida Loca. I bet we can get a few bucks out of her." He dodged Angel's fist with ease. "That all you got little brother?"

"You just wait. I'll show you what I got and you won't even know what hit you."

"I'm starting to think I was teasing the wrong brother about being a Fairy."

Kimberly burst out laughing as the two began to argue playfully on their way back to the dining room.

1212121212121212

Despite the weather turning colder, the mall was full of shoppers. Marley bounced excitedly between Sofi and Kimberly, her hand in theirs as she babbled ninety miles an hour in her own special language. It made Kimberly smile and she laughed at the story Sofi was telling while they continued walking.

"Evelyn must have caught us twenty times on that washing machine." Sofi sighed. "But it was worth the scolding, let me tell you." She eyed Kimberly with a smile. "When are you going to corner Bobby into asking you to marry him?"

Kimberly's eyebrows rose. "I've only been dating Bobby a few months."

"So?"

"I just... I just don't think it's a good time, that's all. We're still figuring things out."

Sofi eyed her with a soft smile. "You like to do things step by step."

"Now, I never said that." She defended. "I don't see a problem in being... thorough about things. There's so much we don't know about each other."

"And yet you love the brute."

She blushed but she couldn't argue with Sofi on that point. They passed window after window, occasionally stopping to look at what was displayed. One window showed off nice suits and dresses and Kimberly found herself staring up at a double breasted stripping suit. "Do you think Bobby would like a suit?" She hesitated as she glanced over at Sofi. "I mean, I know for not daily wear but if there was a meeting he had to go to or..."

"Bobby's never owned a suit in his life." Sofi commented softly. "He wore a basic tie and the best shirt he had to Evelyn's funeral." She eyed Kimberly with a smile. "The nicest thing I've seen him was the tux from last night and we saw what happened to that."

Kimberly blushed. "I feel bad about that. It was a really nice tux and probably cost Bobby a small fortune." When Sofi remained quiet, she looked over to see the other woman looking everywhere but at her. "A large fortune?"

Sofi cleared her throat. "He didn't buy the tux."

"Please don't tell me you and Angel loaned him the cash."

"Bobby arrived at the airport with the tux." She fidgeted as a look of realization appeared on Kimberly's face. "He didn't say anything but I just naturally assumed Anita had helped him pick it out."

Kimberly cleared her throat and looked back at the suit. "How nice of her."

"If there's one thing Anita always was, it was that. You two have a lot in common."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"It's certainly not supposed to make you feel worse."

Kimberly made a sound in the back of her throat but turned away and they continued to walk with Marley swinging between them. "Maybe a tie. It's a nice gesture but not too much." She chewed on her bottom lip. "Do you and Angel want to move back into the house?"

Sofi almost stumbled in her boots. "What?"

"Bobby mentioned you two were probably going to look for a new place to live. I thought if you wanted..." She shrugged.

"To be honest, our landlord keeps upping the price without a reason. We keep asking and he just keeps ignoring us."

"Then I guess the answer is yes."

"Are you sure?"

"We wouldn't offer if we weren't."

Sofi's smile was bright. "How exciting." She leaned over to kiss Kimberly's cheek, laughing as the woman blushed. "I'm sure you had more to do with asking then Bobby but I'm still excited nonetheless."

"Bobby can be something of a pain but he's got it where it counts."

Sofi chuckled and wiggled her eyebrows. "I'm sure."

"I meant heart wise!"

"Si. Of course." Sofi leaned to tickle Marley who giggled. "What do you say we do some shopping?" She smiled as Marley nodded. "Excellente. Sofi needs a new comforter."

"Got a particular one in mind?"

"Maybe."

"Good." Kimberly chuckled. "Let's go see it."

1212121212121212

They spent the majority of the afternoon shopping and when they returned home, the car was full of bags. Sofi was literally bouncing in her boots as they entered the house and Kimberly couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Marley trying to drag her huge plush bunny rabbit into the living room. It was at least four feet tall but the moment she had laid eyes on the toy it had been love at first sight.

"What is this?"

She shut the door behind her and kicked off her shoes.

"That is what we call a giant bunny Bobby." Sofi chuckled.

"It's the biggest damn bunny I've ever seen!"

Kimberly hung up her coat before she entered the living room, smiling at the sight of Marley sitting on the bunny in the middle of the living room. Bobby was staring at it in amusement from his seat on the couch and he looked up as she entered.

"Babe, did you buy her that?"

"No, Marley did with her credit card." She rolled her eyes playfully as she sat down beside him. "She wanted it Bobby."

He slung his arm around her shoulders. "What do you say Marley?"

"She already-"

"Thank you Mommy!"

She smiled at that and leaned into Bobby, resting her hand lightly on his knee. "You're welcome honey."

Smiling as well, Bobby kissed her on the neck. "And what'd you buy today?"

"Mami bought a bunch of stuff!" Sofi gushed. She plopped down on Angel's lap and he grunted in surprise but immediately wrapped his arms around her waist. She smiled and looped hers around his neck. "She bought us something too!"

"She did, did she?" Bobby glanced away from Sofi to eye Kimberly. "And what did you buy them?"

Kimberly took forever in tearing her eyes away from Marley to look Bobby in the eyes. "Since Sofi agreed moving back in was a good idea, I bought them a new bedding set she wanted." She looked away. "It was no big deal."

"No big deal?" Sofi gasped. "It was the nicest thing ever to do!" She kissed Angel's cheek. "She didn't even hesitate when she saw the price tag!"

Angel's eyebrows rose as he exchanged a look with Bobby before he cleared his throat and kissed his wife softly on the lips. "Babe, it's not the bedding set I'm thinking about is it?"

"Of course it is! It's the one I wanted!"

"Sofi! That set was priced at over three hundred dollars! That's way too much money!"

"Damn straight it is." Bobby growled. He kept his eyes on Kimberly. "Three hundred dollars for one damn bed set?"

She ignored him and watched Marley playing on the bunny. "It's a really pretty set."

"That is not the damn point!"

Marley paused to look at Bobby and seeing it, Kimberly sighed. "If you're going to yell at me over something as trivial as a bed set, we should go upstairs."

"There's that word again."

"Well it's a good way to describe when you get your panties twisted."

Angel burst out laughing as Bobby's jaw dropped. "That's the best thing I've heard all day. Bobby does get his panties twisted a lot."

"I do not!" He argued. "Three hundred dollars? You're seriously okay with the fact that Kimmy bought Sofi something because you couldn't afford it?"

Kimberly slapped him on the chest. "I bought it for the both of them as a gift! I wanted to do it!"

"You heard the lady." Angel grinned. "She wanted to do it! I can't argue with that."

Bobby rolled his eyes and easily grabbed her wrist before she could slap him again. "When do you ever argue man? You're whipped!"

"That is the pot calling the kettle black!" Sofi laughed.

Bobby flipped her off then tugged Kimberly closer. He pressed his lips against the inside of her wrist. "Please tell me you bought something for yourself today."

"I bought a purse. Do you want to see it?"

"If I say yes, can you show it to me upstairs?"

Angel whispered something in Sofi's ear that made her laugh but Bobby kept his eyes on Kimberly's.

"Of course."

Minutes later, Bobby was perched on the edge of their bed, staring in amusement at the two bags she plopped beside him. "They cut your purse in half and stuck it in two bags?"

"Very funny but no." She lifted a purse out of the bag closest to him. It was medium sized and made of white leather. "I saw it and had to have it." She chuckled. "I'll probably never even come close to filling it but it was on sale so..." She shrugged and lowered it onto the bed.

Bobby looked up from the purse. "Well, as long as it was on sale."

She ignored the disbelief that lingered behind in his tone and pulled the other bag towards her. "And this is for you." She extended a wrapped item towards him and he eyed it suspiciously. "Come on, take it."

Slowly he unwrapped it and she watched in silence as he lifted the blue and white patterned silk tie from the paper. "Was this on sale too?"

"I just thought..."

"I'm joking baby." He dropped the tie back gently into the paper and set it beside him on the bed. His hands reached out to grab her hips and he pulled her between his legs. "Thank you."

Kimberly ran her hands down his hair and his shoulders, sighing as he pressed his mouth against her stomach before resting his cheek there. "You're welcome."

"Was it on sale?"

Her hands froze. "No, it wasn't. Marc Jacobs ties don't go on sale."

Bobby leaned back, his eyebrows raised. "Who the fuck is Marc Jacobs?"

"He's a designer." She smirked down at him, her fingers running through his hair. "He makes really nice things and then he sells them." She chuckled as he rolled his eyes. "I'm glad you like the tie."

"Will you tell me how much you spent today?"

"Does it really matter how much I spent?"

Bobby nodded slowly. "I would like to know."

"I'll tell you but you have to promise me you won't get upset."

"I-"

"And you can't ask me to take anything back."

"Kimmy, I-"

"And you won't ask me to never spend money on our family again."

"I-" He smiled slowly. "Did you just say our family?"

Kimberly blushed but nodded. "I like spending money on Marley and on you. Please don't ask me to not do something that makes me happy." She brushed the back of her fingers down his cheek. "Promise?"

"I promise."

"Do you swear?"

"I swear! I promise! I'll even tattoo it on my chest if that will make you happy." His fingers squeezed her hips. "Tell me." He cleared his throat at the look that crossed her face. "Please?"

Smiling widely, she made a sound like a whip cracking and burst out laughing as Bobby growled. He jerked her onto the bed and rolled them so he was on top, settling easily between her legs. Her hands went to his back as he dipped his head to kiss her and Kimberly melted into him as the kiss deepened.

He broke away to nuzzle her neck. "I love you Kimmy."

"I love you too Bobby." Her hands stroked his back, eyes closing as she enjoyed the feeling of him moving the fabric of her shirt so he could kiss the skin underneath. "Bobby..."

"I'll be quick, I promise."

She laughed but kept her eyes closed. His hand flattened against her stomach and he pressed his lips directly over her belly button. Her fingers dug into his hair. "Five hundred and twenty dollars, and forty-two cents."

As she expected, Bobby paused and lifted his head, their eyes meeting. "You're fucking kidding me."

"I had to write it down in my check book."

"You spent almost six hundred dollars today?" His voice rose. "You bought three fucking things Kimmy! If the bed set was three hundred..."

"Marley's bunny was custom made Bobby and I already told you the tie was a Marc Jacobs."

"How much was the bunny?"

"You promised me you weren't going to get upset."

He rolled away from her to sit up. "I'm not upset; I just want to know how much everything cost! You tell me you spent almost six hundred bucks in only a few hours and expect me to not be curious?"

She remained where she was on her back and folded her hands onto her stomach. "I'm not sure of the exact amount with tax but the bunny was a hundred and sixty dollars. Your tie was ninety-six."

"You spent ninety-six bucks on a fucking tie?!"

"Yes. I did." She finally sat up and pushed herself to her feet. "I spent the money because I wanted to Bobby and that's the end of this conversation!"

"It didn't even phase you did it?"

She paused from moving towards the door to look at him. "What?"

"You heard me."

She swung back to face him. "Buying material items to show emotion is a perfectly normal thing that thousands of people do in this country every day. Civilizations rise and fall because of their economy and it can be helped by people purchasing items that are made by other people in order to feed themselves and their families." She rambled passionately. "And if I want to contribute by buying six hundred dollars worth of shit at the fucking mall, I'll fucking do it."

"Kimmy..."

She was past listening and already yelling at him by this point. "You can stop with the macho shit of pretending to be worried constantly about the amount in my damn wallet Bobby. I highly doubt someone worth one point two billion dollars is even going to fucking notice unless they're completely consumed by money and let their world revolve around it!"

"So Veronica Hamilton's joke wasn't really a joke."

"No, it wasn't a joke Bobby. With my mother already deceased and no siblings, I inherited my father's company and his entire estate. I'm told by my attorney that the estimated net worth is somewhere around one point two billion but I don't really keep track of it. I pay my bills, I buy the things I need and when I want something, I get it. I don't like to splurge but every once and a while there's no reason to be a penny pincher either."

"When were you going to tell me about this?"

"I wasn't." She answered honestly. "You told me my money was no good here and I took you at your word."

"You can take me at my word."

"I can?"

"What the fuck Kimberly; you know you can!"

She settled her hands on her hips. "I ask because you keep showing me two different sides to you all the time Bobby. You say you don't care but then you act like you do; you say one thing and you mean the other. You just sat there and swore to me you wouldn't get upset over this and here we are, arguing again about money of all things. What am I supposed to think?"

"I just..." He ran his hands through his hair and sighed. "Money doesn't mean anything to me Kimmy. I swear to you it doesn't. I grew up wanting everything and getting nothing until I came here. Evelyn changed my life and she taught me that the family is the only thing that matters." His eyes met hers. "I don't want there to be any doubt in your mind that I love you because of who are and not what you have."

"Bobby..."

"Sometimes I question why anyone like you, someone who has it all, would be with someone like me."

Kimberly moved forward to stand between his legs again, her hands finding the scruffy cheeks of his face. "It's true that at times we're complete opposites Bobby but I wouldn't change that for anything. You're an amazing man, you keep me on my toes, always surprising and challenging me. I love that we're opposites because nothing is boring, nothing's ever what I expect and I love that. I love you."

Bobby bent to rest his forehead against her stomach, his hands on her hips. "I'm sorry baby."

"There's nothing for you to be sorry about Bobby. Just say you love me."

He raised his eyes to hers. "I love you so much Kimberly."

Smiling, she leaned to brush her lips against his. "That's all that I need to know." She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed him again. "Can we go back downstairs now? Marley's been waiting all day to show you her bunny and play with you."

"You sure she can't wait five minutes while we have adult time?"

Kimberly burst out laughing as he pulled her back onto the bed.
