"Calla, he's wonderful." Rose, said, taking Jack from me.
We were at her house. All the men were at work, so it was just me, Rose, Jack, and Elle. Elle had never seen Jack before, and I was a little unsure of their introduction.
"Mummy, let me see him." Elle said, trying to get Jack from her mother.
"Calla, is it alright?" Rose asked me.
"I guess so." I answered.
"Ellie, you can have Jack, but you have to stay in her lap." Rose told Ellie.
I picked Elle up and put her in my lap. Rose handed Jack to Elle and I held onto him a little but to make sure he was alright.
"He's tiny." Elle said, looking at Jack who was trying to eat his hand.
"Yeah, he is." I agreed.
"He has blue eyes like you, Lilly. Why not brown eyes like Georgie?" She asked.
"Cause he just does. I don't know. Just how he was made." I answered.
"But I have blue eyes like my daddy does, so why doesn't he have brown eyes like his Georgie does?" She asked.
"Cause he just doesn't." Rose answered.
Jack was holding onto my finger.
"Does Georgie like him?" Elle asked.
"Georgie loves him. When he gets back from work, he'll take Jack and not let anyone have him." I told her.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Cause Georgie's weird." I answered.
They got home then. Elle gave me Jack and ran over to her dad.
"Daddy, Lilly let me hold Jack." She said.
He picked her up.
"Did she really?" Ritchie asked His daughter.
"Yeah. And she said that Georgie doesn't let anyone hold him." She told him.
"Why is my son being womanised again?" George said, taking Jack from me.
"I'm very sorry your mother makes you go through this torture." He said to Jack, then kissed his forehead.
"Do I not even get a hello?" I asked him.
"If I get a kiss you do." He answered.
I rollled my eyes, then kissed him.
"Hello, my wonderful wife." He said with a smile.
"Did you have fun at work?" I asked.
"Do I ever?" He asked.
"Sorry." I said.
"It's alright. Now I'm here saving my son." He said.
"He doesn't need saving." I said.
"Yes he does." He said, then sat down with Jack.
"Georgie I got to hold him." Elle said, climbing on the couch next to George.
"You did?" He asked her.
"Yep. He's really tiny and he's not heavy." She answered.
"He's a really tiny thing. He doesn't weigh but about eight pounds." He told her.
"Will he get bigger?" She asked Him.
"Of course he will. He'll get a lot bigger." He answered.
I sat on the other side of George. I had to agree that Jack was pretty small. he only weighed six pounds when he was born. He was looking up at George and messing with a button on his shirt. I kissed the top of his heaD.
Elle sat in George's lap. She was watching what Jack did. George had his hands full. I took Jack from him.
"Lilly give him back." Elle told me.
"Elle don't be mean to her she can have him if she wants to." George told her.
"But Georgie she took him." She said.
"And she's allowed to." He said.
"No Georgie she's not." She said.
"Elle, do I need to have a talk with you?" George asked her.
"No." Elle answered.
"Then be nice, or...I won't let you spend the night with me." He told her.
"George what are you talking about?" I asked him.
"Just let her." He answered.
"But George." I complained.
"Just tonight." He said, then kissed hy forehead.
"Georgie do I really get to?" Elle asked.
"Yes. As long as your parents say you csn." He told her.
Elle got up and went to ask her parents about staying with me and George.
"George does she have to stay with us?" I asked him.
"Only one night. We used to have her stay with us all the time." He answered.
"But not when we had Jack." I said.
"Just tonight. I can make tomorrow very nice for you if you just let her stay." He said.
"How would you do that?" I asked.
"I have my ways." He answered.
"The kids are asleep now." I told George when I came outside.
He was sitting on the back patio in a chair reading some magazine and smoking a cigarett. Normal George things.
"That means it's just us now." I said, leaning against a column of the overhanging roof above the patio.
"I know." He said, not looking up from his reading.
"Well I can be with you now." I said, walking over to him.
I was about to freeze. Pretty much the only thing I had on was one of George's sweaters he had.
"You are with me, darling." He said.
"Alright, I'm going to bed, don't stay out too late." I said, then combed back his hair and kissed his forehead.
I turned and walked towards the door, but George wrapped his arms around me before I could get there.
"If you light my hair on fire I'm going to kill you." I warned him.
"I won't do that." He said.
He put his cigarette out then kissed me. It didn't taste the best but it was the most I'd gotten all day. I kissed him back and it got pretty heated from there. The only problem was that we were outside, and I was not adventurous enough to do that here.
"Baby, we can go inside." I said, knowing he was too concentrated on kissing to listen.
"No, I can make it work. I've done it before." He said, holding me tighter to him.
"But we have neighbours. Who have windows." I said.
"I know that." He said.
I pushed him off of me and went inside. He followed me.
"Calla, come on. Can we just start please. My pants aren't supposed to be this tight on me and it kind of hurts." He said.
"Well that's your fault." I said.
"Fine we'll go to our room." He said.
We went to our room and closed the door as to not wake Elle and Jack. George held me against the back of the door and kissed me.
"George, the bed." I said.
He kind of pushed me back on the bed and fell on top of me. Somehow during the whole ordeal, no children were waken up.
I woke-up pretty early. I got as dressed as I was last night, before all the action happened. I guess George was already up, because he wasn't in our bed. So I got up too.
"So Ellie, how do you like your breakfast?" I heard George say from the kitchen.
"It's good, Georgie." She answered.
I came in then.
"Good morning." George greeted me.
He was holding Jack.
"Good morning to you too." I said, combing through his messy hair.
"Lilly, Georgie got Jack to lick the syrup off his finger." Elle told me.
"Elle." He said, narrowing his eyes at her.
"Why did you give him syrup?" I asked, sitting down next to George.
"Just so he could try it." He answered.
"George, he can't have syrup." I said.
"I know. But he wanted it so I put a little on my finger and he licked it off. It's not like he had a ton of it." He said.
I sat down next to George and kissed Jack's forehead. I took Jack from George. I kissed the top of his head.
"So my punishment is not getting to hold him anymore?" George asked, not sounding too happy with me.
"No, I am allowed to hold him if I want to." I answered.
George wasn't really too happy with me the rest of the morning. And let it show even more after Elle left.
"George what is wrong with you?" I asked him when I came into our room.
he was laying on our bed. So I sat on top of him. Something I did quite often.
"Nothing is wrong with me." He answered.
"Will you please tell me." I said.
"Alright. I'm suffering from a lack of activity." He told me.
"What kind of activity?" I asked him.
"The sexual kind." he answered.
"We did that last night." I said.
"But I want more." He replied.
"But Jack's asleep and I don't want him to wake up." I said.
"He'll be asleep for a few hours. That's more than enough time." He said.
"Alright. I guess we could." I said.
"I want to kiss you first." he said.
"then kiss me." I told him.
he sat up And kissed me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pressed my hands against his chest. He took of the sweatshirt I had on, so that I wasn't wearing anything from the waist up. He held me against him and I wrapped my arms around his neck. then he flipped sober so that I was laying on the bed and he was on top of me. And then everything happened.
After about four hours, i was sitting in George's lap again, and his arms were tight around me, and there was a blanket around both of us.
"We should go on a trip somewhere together." George suggested.
"And never leave the bedroom." I said.
"Of course." He agreed.
"And what would the purpose of this trip be?" I asked him.
"I don't know. Maybe to make another baby." He answered.
"you already want another baby?" I asked.
"Yes. I want a girl." He answered.
"I want a boy." I told him.
"We already have a boy. We need a girl." He said.
"No we don't. And what if we had another boy?" I asked.
"Well that would be wonderful. But I just want a girl too." He answered.
"I'm not ready for another baby yet." I said.
"When will you be?" He asked.
"Maybe when Jack's around one. Old enough that I don't have to constantly tend to him." I answered.
"And maybe when everyone believe's he's mine." He added.
"Everyone knows he's yours." I said.
"I hope so." He said.
