Chapter 12

Jude stayed in Tommy's arms for what felt like a perfect eternity before she heard Agent Bell shift in the hall and clear her throat. Jude pulled away from Tommy just a little to glance towards the hall. Agent Bell had her arms crossed and she was looking down at nothing in particular, she seemed uncomfortable with the reunion that was taking place in front of her. Jude leaned back into Tommy's arms and leaned into his ear.

"I want more of this later Quincy" she said devilishly as she squeezed him tight and pulled away to face Agent Bell again.

"Are the girls still up? I would like to meet them now if that is possible" She could feel every movement Tommy made as he moved into place besides her and took her hand in his. Agent Bell seemed somewhat distracted by his behavior as well. Her eyes were on Tommy and Jude's hands.

"Of course you can meet the girls tonight." Tommy answered cheerfully. He led the way out of the room never letting go of Jude's hand. They passed Agent Bell in the door frame and took a few steps before Tommy stopped. He turned around to face the way they had just come.

"Jessie… thank you" He said, giving her a devastating smile and then turning back to Jude.

"Alright who would you like to meet first Lyla or Lola?

Jude and Tommy spent the next hour with the two little girls getting them ready for bed. Lola, the six year old, was a little shy at first but soon had taken Jude's hand and led her on a grand tour of the nursery and the attached room that was serving as her bedroom. Jude laughed as the precocious girl explain that she had to leave all her toys behind but the nice agent people brought her a lot of toys so she liked living at the house. They spent a little time playing with Barbies before Tommy reentered the room with two year old Lyla in his arms.

"Alright Lo it's time for bed. Go brush your teeth and pick out a bedtime story." When she returned Tommy passed the dozing Lyla to Jude. She walked slowly around the room cooing to the baby, enjoying the sound of Lola's giggles as Tommy tried to give different voices to all the characters in the book. Once the little girl was asleep Tommy tucked her in, placed as light kiss on her forehead and turned out the light on the nightstand. Making his way back to Jude he picked up a few forgotten toys and placed them in the toy box. Jude was amazed with how easily Tommy had fallen into his new position as male role model and caretaker. He took Lyla back from her and placed the sleeping baby in her crib. He paused enjoying being able to finally share all of this with Jude. He reached for her and she fell into his arms again.

"I wish I could describe to you how much I have needed you these last four months." He whispered into her hair. "Finding out about my sister was hard enough, but then having to come here and leave you behind. These girls seem fine on the outside but once you spend a little time with them you can see the pain in their eyes." He paused a moment and Jude stayed quite knowing that there was more he needed to say to her. "A month ago I didn't think I was going to survive this, but the moment I saw you again in that room looking tired and confused I knew everything was going to be okay. Everything that has happened between us Jude… It's behind us. Everything is different now and I intend to do things right this time." He picked her chin up with his hand and looked into her eyes. She could see his emotions swimming around in his eyes but most of all she saw relief and passion. She leaned into him closing the gap. They had both been waiting for this moment for so long that they lost control quickly. Tommy deepened the kiss immediately and Jude responded. Her hands were in his hair and pulling at his shirt and his hands were sliding up her back. They fumbled down the hall down and into Tommy's bedroom. Once inside Tommy closed the door behind them and moved her toward the bed. Jude took a deep gulp of air trying to clear her head. She sighed as Tommy leaned her back and trialed kisses down her neck. She pulled his mouth back to her and kissed him hard. She took another gulp of air and looked up at him.

"Tommy we can't…" He was breathing heavy as he pushed himself up above her giving her a little space.

"I know Jude. Just stay with me here tonight okay? Nothing is going to happen I promise." He said as kissed her again and pulled her into his arms. They talked a little about what she had been through during the day and the similar experience Tommy had encountered when he first arrived at the house. She felt so wonderful being in Tommy's arms she didn't fight falling asleep when her eyelids began to droop. Tommy snuggled in next to her knowing he would never be able to sleep without her again after this night.

They awoke to Agent Bell knocking on the door.

"Tommy? Do you know where Jude is? She isn't in her room." She said through the door. Tommy pulled Jude closer and smiled at her.

"She's here with me Jessie. We had a lot of catching up to do last night. We will be down to the kitchen soon." Jude could hear Jessie's frustrated sigh through the door and then her footsteps move down the hall.

"She likes you." Jude said rolling over and looking at him.

"She's great… but she's no you." He said attempting to tickle her but getting distracted by her sharp look first. "We are just friends Jude, she knows that." Jude was unsure if she believed Jessie would describe her relationship with Tommy the same way, but she nodded for his benefit. When they finally rolled out of bed they distracted themselves with each other for a few more minutes before Jude finally left to take a shower and prepare herself for the rest of the day.
