You're Gonna Miss this –Trace Adkins

Jasper and I had out little one on January Twentieth two years ago. We had a little boy and named him Jasper Delbert Whitlock. While the names Jasper and Whitlock were obvious to use, we chose the name Delbert as his middle name because it was a family name on Jasper's side of the family but we call him JD because of his initials.

We hadn't started going on dates until after JD had turned a year old and was sleeping through the night. The first date being the day my book was released after being delayed a year. Jasper had even bought a copy of it even though I told him not too. He has it on display in his home office. He works with my dad now. I also taught English at the local high school.

We had moved into a three bedroom apartment not long after JD was born because we didn't see the point in packing all his things up just to stay at one another's house. I also didn't want JD to be confused about switching places.

While my dad didn't like that we were living together without being married he did understand the reasons behind our moving in. He also doesn't know that I wanted to get a different place because I couldn't handle hearing him and Sue again. Jasper laughed his but off at my reasoning.

Right now I was cleaning up the closet and putting our freshly clean clothes away, waiting for Jasper to get home from work and dropping JD of at his mother's house so we could go out for the night. It's been a few months since we had gone out but we spent most of our spare time with JD so we didn't have much else to do. I had just hung up the last of his uniform shirts when I heard him pull up. I heard him come in seconds later.

"Bella," He called.

"In the bedroom." I called back.

"Are you getting ready for tonight?" He asked.

"Just putting away the laundry before I go to get changed," I told him. "That should only take a few minutes."

"Just wondering, I'm going to take a shower because as you can see I got rather dirty at work today."

"I know what did you do?" I asked him.

"I tackled a one Michael Newton down after he tried to rob the five and dime."

"What an idiot. Everyone knows that they have a shot gun underneath the front counter." I told him.

"I know but Mr. Newton is still getting charged even though he only got away with a penny and three dimes."

"His mother is going to rip him a new one." I said. "So how was JD when you dropped him off?"

"He was sleeping like a log." Jasper said. "He was doing okay."

"That's good. I think he's finally over that flu he got last week." I said.

"He didn't have a fever." Jasper said.

"Go get your shower or we'll be late." I told him.

Once he left the room I grabbed the clothes he had set out to use for tonight and set them on the table outside the bathroom and went to change into my dress. It was a dress that his sister Alice had made me buy the last time we went shopping.

The only thing I did to my hair was pull it back into a pony tail. I didn't have much energy left to do anything else to it. I slipped a bracelet Jasper had gotten me for Christmas this past year on my wrist and a necklace from Charlie around my neck and went to wait for Jasper in the living room.

He found me in the living room. I know it's cheesy to say but he took my breath away and it wasn't very often that he hid take my breath away. I guess that's why I don't care if it's cheesy to say or not. I looked down at his feet and he was only in his dress socks.

"Do you know where my shoes are?" he asked.

"In the closet on the bottom shelf." I told him. "They should be next to your nice pair of tennis shoes."

"Got it, I'll be ready in a few." He said leaving the room.

It did not take him long to find his shoes and put them on because he came back into the room a few minutes later. He pulled me up from my seat.

"Are you sure you want to go you don't look like you are feeling too hot." He said.

"I want to go and I'm fine." I told him. "Besides if we don't go now who knows how much longer we will have to wait to see another movie that isn't rated PG or eat dinner without it coming to our table in cardboard boxes?"

"You make several good points but if you start feeling worse later on you better tell me because if your dad finds out he will kick my a$$."

"True but you guys didn't exactly meet in the best possible manor." I told him. "But he has warmed to you otherwise you wouldn't be working with him right now."

"Yes he has warmed up to me but he still make me do all the menial jobs at the station like filling the copier with paper and things like that." Jasper told me.

"Jasper that's because you are the newest guy on the force not because of our relationship," I said to him.

Jasper and I slipped on our jackets and he led me out the door and to the car a silver Ford Taurus. He went to the passenger side first and opened my door. I climbed into the car and buckled myself in. Jasper closed the door and went over to the driver's side and got into the car himself.

"You ready." He turns to ask me.
