The First Date Part 1

She woke to the quiet cooing of Jason and carefully unwrapped Junior's arms from around her waist.

"Hey there sweetie," she cooed "how is momma's little boy?"

He gurgled a response as he looked up and smiled at her.

"You sure have had a big day, little one. You got to meet daddy and spend some man time together."

She looked over to make sure that Junior was still asleep before continuing.

"Your going to get to spend some time with uncle Matt tonight as well because mommy and daddy need some alone time."

"You see," she continued "it's been a long time since mommy and daddy saw each other and they need to catch up, so you should be good for uncle Matt."

Jason looked up at her and gently reached his small hand up which she took in hers before kissing.

"I love you precious little one." She whispered as she rocked him in her arms.

She heard movement behind her and turned and saw Junior tossing and turning in bed. Sitting down next to him she gently placed her hand on his face, soothing him back asleep.

Giving him a quick peck on his head she quietly got back up and made a bottle for Jason. Sitting in the rocking chair she fed him and then placed him back into his carrier.

Leaving a note for Junior that she was heading to the main house to get ready for their date she quietly made her way out of the bunkhouse and up the short path that led between the two houses.

Making her way inside she heard a quiet "hey" and turned to see Dani standing there.

"Hello yourself," she replied "how are things?"

"Good," Dani replied "we talked and we are working things out."

Kris looked at her for a moment "Dani, he told me why you guys were fighting."

"I'm sorry," she replied "it just got a little carried away."

She nodded her head in understanding before setting down the carrier she was still holding in her hands.

"How is the little guy?" Dani asked.

"Great," Kris replied "thank you so much for watching him."

Dani smiled before replying "so you and my brother have a date, huh?"

"Yup," she stated and she couldn't contain the smile that fluttered across her face.

"Matt," she heard Dani yell and she watched as he quickly made his way into the room.

"Could you watch Jason?" she questioned "I am going to help Kris get ready for her date."

He smiled at the both of them for a moment before replying "sure thing."

--

Junior woke and rolled over wrapping his arms around thin air instead of Kris. Opening his eyes he realized that both Kris and Jason were gone.

Sitting up, almost in a panic, he looked around and saw a note on Kris' pillow which he quickly grabbed and read.

Junior-

I couldn't bear to wake you because you looked so peaceful. I am at the main house getting ready for our date tonight, and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! Every time we touch I am reminded of how good we used to be and the future we still have yet to come! Pick me up at 7, love. I can't wait!

Love Kris

He looked over at the clock on the nightstand and realized he still had a little over an hour and a half to get ready.

'Girls,' he thought 'need way too much time to get ready.'

Looking at the clock again, he quickly jumped up and grabbed his cell phone. Kris wanted a date, but this was going to be a date she never forgot.

After making his phone call, Junior realized he only had about an hour and quickly headed to the shower to get ready for his date.

--

"I'm scared" she admitted and the girl next to her looked at her knowingly.

"Kris, that's normal. You got your heart broken last time and you are putting your guard up around Junior, it's obvious."

She nodded her head quietly, feeling the tears bristle on her eyelashes.

"But Kris," Dani continued as she ran a brush through Kris' hair "it's Junior, the father of your child and he loves you, even if he doesn't know it."

She watched Dani through the mirror as she continued to work on Kris' hair.

"Even if he never gets his memory back, can you honestly say you would be able to give him up again?"

"No," she answered not even having to think about it.

"Then stop fighting it," Dani answered in response gently pushing her on the shoulder. "You two are perfect for each other, always have been always will be. Don't let a little memory loss get in the way of that."

She could hear a small chuckle escape her lips as she stood up and slowly ran her hands down her dress.

"Well," she asked "do I look ok?"

Dani looked her up and down for a moment smiling "you're going to knock his socks off."

As both girls grabbed each other laughing and pulled one another into a hug the sound of the doorbell echoed through the house.

"Matt will get it," Dani answered as Kris turned and looked at the door "we have a few more minutes."

"Thank you Dani," Kris stated "for everything."

"Thank you Kris, for loving my brother and for being there for him when he needs you most."

Both girls looked at each other for a moment and then stated "I love you sis," and pulled each other into another hug.

--

Matt couldn't help but laugh at how nervous Junior looked as he stood on the porch with a bouquet of daisies in his hands.

After stepping inside he watched his best friend wring his hands twice before running one of them through his hair.

Laughingly Matt stated "dude, relax."

"I just want everything to be perfect," Junior replied.

"It will be, but you need to relax."

The man in front of him let out a huge sigh as he looked into Matt's eyes.

"I'm scared," he stated bluntly "what if, what if she doesn't want me anymore."

"Junior," he answered "that's impossible. You two have always loved each other, always. You will get past this too."

"But what if," Junior asked "I hurt her again?"

"Then, I will hunt you down and make you pay."

Both men looked at each other for a moment before they began to laugh.

"Seriously," Matt stated "everything will go perfectly."

Junior nodded his head quietly as he looked at Matt "I hope so, I really do love her."

Matt turned as he heard someone gently clear their throat and he noticed that Junior had done the same. Dani stood on the stairs looking at them both before smiling and heading over to Matt.

"Is he ready?" she asked quietly.

"Is she?" he questioned in return.

--

Kris stood at the top of the stairs for a moment trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach. Slowly she made her way down the stairs.

Reaching the small landing, her eyes met Juniors and she forgot all her worries as she slowly approached him.

"Hey," he replied breathily "you look amazing."

She could feel her cheeks blushing as she replied "so do you."

He held up a bouquet of daisies for her and she felt a small gasp of air leave her lips. "Thank you," she stated "how did you remember?"

"With a little help," he stated turning to look at Matt for a brief moment who was giving him the thumbs up.

She nodded her head in understanding and watched as he quickly made his way over to Jason and gave him a kiss on the head.

"I'm sure you two will be back late," Dani stated "so we will just plan on watching Jason for the night."

"Thanks," Kris and Junior replied in unison.

"So," he asked "are you ready?"

"Always," she replied as she gently linked hands with him.

She gently kissed Jason on the head as well telling him to "be good for Uncle Matt and Aunt Dani," before she was pulled out of the house by Junior.

"He will be fine," he insisted.

"I know it's just I have never been away from him for a night," she replied.

He looked at her quietly nodding his head before stating "we can pick him up when we get back if you want."

She looked at him for a moment and then leaning over gave him a peck on the cheek before replying "no, it's fine. He will be ok."

"So," she stated eagerly "where are we going?"

He looked at her smiling and gently brought her hand up to his lips, brushing them against the soft skin.

"That my dear," he stated "is a surprise."
