The next weekend

JJ had promised her mom that they would get to Rossi's early; Lauren was supposed to be there around ten. She was not looking forward to today, her oldest brother tried to play father and tell her what she should and shouldn't do, her sister-in-law had looked down on her for years because she had gotten pregnant and didn't get married. This was going to be a long weekend.

"Hey, you getting out of bed." Will asked

"I was thinking that maybe I am coming down with something." JJ

"What would that be?" Will laughing

"I am not sure yet. Mia still asleep." JJ asked, Henry had stayed at Rossi's

"Yes, I think the colic is mostly gone. Tell me what's wrong." Will climbing back in bed next to her.

"I think Lauren, Isaiah and Kris will like Dave. Jr is going to be a harder sale and I don't want to hear a lecture from him or worrying about you hitting him. And I really want my husband." JJ laying her head across his chest

"I won't hit your brother unless it's completely necessary. I think your right about the other three. Cold showers have been the only thing keeping me sane the last three weeks." Will

"Cold showers, you haven't said anything." JJ

"We talked about this after you had Henry. No sex of any kind until we both can enjoy it." Will told her

JJ had a thought run through her head, one she knew deep down wasn't true but now she could get rid of it.

"Okay" JJ moving away from him

"Where are you going?" Will confused

"I need a shower and then we should leave." JJ told as she climbed out of bed

He watched her walk into the bathroom; she thought he was rejecting her he realized. He got up and went to the bathroom door opening it before she could say anything. She was standing there naked in front of him

"What" JJ almost in tears

"Jennifer LaMontagne you think that I don't want you." Will

"Isn't that what you just said, you would rather take a cold shower." JJ

Before he answered he looked up and down her body, she was beautiful.

"No, that's not what I said at least not completely." Will

"Then what and don't use the you were tired and need sleep excuse. You don't want me, not that I blame you." JJ tears falling down her checks

Will shook his head "What do you mean you don't blame me? Yes, I have taken cold showers and for the next three weeks I will because you can't have sex therefore neither can I."

"Look at me, I didn't look this way when we met and I didn't look this way when we were married." She told him

"Jen, I am looking at you. Please believe me when I tell you that because I am looking you I need another cold shower. I love you, I want you and that's not going to change." Will

"I don't want to fight, please just let me take a shower." JJ

"You still don't believe me." Will as he pulled off his shirt

"What are you doing?" JJ asked

"Joining you, we still aren't having sex but maybe you'll believe me." Will told her

She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body.

"I am not taking a cold shower; if you want one take one by yourself." She told him

He moved in front of the door before she could reach it

"Will move" she yelled

"That's not happening. You are going to talk to me." Will reaching for her

"I don't want to. I want to know that I turn my husband on but apparently I can't even do that." JJ

"You are so damn stubborn you know that right." He told her as he pulled her to his body; he knew she could feel him. "Now do you really think that you don't turn me on, that I don't want you because Cher that's not even close to be true."

She broke down in his arms "I want these damn feelings to go away. I can feel myself being crazy yet I still do it."

"We will get through it. Jen yell, scream, and kick but please don't shut me out." Will as he rubbed her back

"Keep pushing me to open up." JJ wrapping her arms around him

"Cher, I will I am not letting you go anywhere." Will told her

Two hours later

They arrived at Dave's as her phone rang, it was Lauren

"Hey big sister" JJ as she was getting out of the car

"Hey are you there already." Lauren asked

"Will, Mia and I just pulled up. Henry stayed with Mom and Dave last night, something wrong." JJ

"No, I didn't know when you were getting. Shane says we should be there in about twenty minutes. I guess I am a little nervous." Lauren

"You will like Dave, he really is great. Lauren wait until you see the way he treats mom." JJ

"That's what mom said about the way he treats you. It's still kind of weird." Lauren

"You're thinking the same thing I was when she told me." JJ told her

"And that would be." Lauren asked

"About dad, mom deserves to be happy and we know that's what he would want. Dave is not trying to take his place." JJ

"Are you sure you're the youngest." Lauren laughing

"Yes and I need you to be on my side today. I don't know if I can handle Jr and Sarah without your help. Mom is happy" JJ

"I am always on your side and if mom is happy the two of them will not ruin it for her." Lauren

"Okay, I'll see you in a little bit." JJ

"Okay bug." Lauren laughing, knowing JJ hated when she called her that

/

"Mommy" Henry came running to her

"Little man did you have fun." JJ asked

"Yeah, nana says everyone is coming. Does that mean Jack too?" Henry asked

JJ looked up as her mom came in the room, she looked nervous

"No, Jack isn't coming over. But your cousins are and I just talked to Aunt Lauren and they should be here with Riley in just a little bit." JJ told him

"You spoke with Lauren." Sandy

"Yeah, she should be here in about fifteen minutes and is just as nervous as you are." JJ laughing

"But mommy I told him I would share." Henry waiting until she had stopped talking to his grandma

"Share what?" JJ asked

"Nana and Grandpa Dave" Henry told her making all the adults in the room, which now included Rossi and Will.

"You're sharing Nana and Grandpa Dave." JJ asked a little confused

"Yes, he doesn't have a nana or grandpa." Henry looking around

JJ didn't know what to say, she looked at Will, Dave and her mom.

Sandy was the first to talk "Henry that is very sweet and if it's okay with Jack's dad he can call me nana too."

"Maybe later, I can call Uncle Aaron to see if he can bring Jack over." Dave told him, they all heard the car pull up.

"I think Aunt Lauren is here." JJ told Henry

They all walked outside

"Relax mom." JJ shaking her head

Kris and Isaiah pulled up right after Lauren "Your brothers have never been on time for anything until now." Sandy looking JJ

"First time for everything." JJ

Sandy and JJ hugged everyone before Sandy introduced Dave to them.

"Bug you look great. Where's Mia?" Lauren asked as they walked towards the porch.

"She's in the house sleeping, but probably not for long." JJ told her

"Bug" Rossi whispered to Will making him laugh

"I wouldn't say it to loud, she doesn't like it." Will warned

"Dave, this is Lauren and Shane." Sandy started with her oldest daughter

"It's nice to finally meet you both." Dave told her

"You too" Lauren smiling as she shook his hand

JJ turned to see Riley, KJ, and Henry chasing her youngest niece around. They were all laughing.

"Nice to meet you, that's Riley running around with Henry." Shane

JJ looked at her brothers, they were both smiling. They knew their mom was happy.

"I am Isaiah and this is my wife Lydia." Isaiah as he shook his hand

"Nice to meet you both" Dave

"Well I guess that makes me Kris and this is my wife Sarah." Kris shaking his hand

They heard Mia crying before Dave could say anything

"I'll get her" Will told JJ

"You planning on feeding her" JJ laughing

"Good point, I'll get Henry." Will smiling

"Bug, I am going with you." Lauren

"If you don't stop with the bug thing." JJ

"I am not afraid of you." Lauren laughing as she followed JJ

"Everyone come in" Dave
