Lanie looked tenderly smiling at the photo that Ryan had just sent her. A photo of Javi with Baby Tim in his arms.
"Hey, everything okay? " asked Angela who had watched her friend closely.
"Yeah, why?" asked Lanie confused.
" Because you're staring at your phone now already 10 minutes , completely lost in thought ," declared Angela.
"Here, look, " said Lanie and pushed the phone towards Angela.
A grin spread on Angela's face. "Now I understand ," Angela laughed.
"What? " demanded Lanie to know.
"You're thinking about getting a baby with your man, Angela grinned.
Lanie looked caught on . "No, we're not ready for this," Lanie fought off anyway.
" I don't belive you. You have here a photo from your Javi with a baby in his arms , so don't tell me that your thoughts don't go down that path," stated Angela firmly .
"But I really don't know if we 're ready, " confessed Lanie .
"Didn't you tell me that you were the one who had the doubts?" Angela asked her friend.
" Yes. But that's over. I know now that I want him. I want a life with him ,"said Lanie .
" Lanie-honey. He had been waiting for you , maybe the idea is not far-fetched for him," Angela pointed out.
" Maybe you're right , " Lanie smiled hopefully.
" Talk to him . And you'll see, when you're back in New York with him, you'll soon be busy trying to make a sweet baby , " Angela grinned .
A few days later, Lanie was at the airport and waited impatiently for Javier to finally came out of the arrival hall. His flight landed 15 minutes ago and she couldn't longer wait to finally see him again. When she finally saw him a short time later , she couldmn't help but run towards to him and hug him tight.
Javier dropped his bag, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Their lips met in a long, soulful kiss, until both had to catch their breath. " Welcome to San Fransico ," she murmured, smiling against his lips.
"If I always get such a greeting I come more often ," he smiled , before he locked her lips again with a kiss.
"Promise nothing that you can't keep ," Lanie laughed as she let her hands slip from his neck down his strong arms. Javier picked up his bag and the two left holding hands the airport .
Later, the two were naked in bed , Lanie was lying on her belly and had snuggled into the pillow , her body was only half covered with a sheet. Javi turned to the side and leaned on the elbow . He ran his other hand gently along the elegant curve of Lanies spine and watched smiling, that his touch caused goose bumps. Lanie sighed appreciatively and smiled at him tenderly. She considered him a thoughtful moment and realized that they should really talk. Therefore, she sat up and wrapped the sheet around her naked body.
"What 's going on? " He had watched her expression became serious.
"I know that's probably a bad time , but I 've been thinking a lot in the last days . Javi that might surprise you now , but I'm sure by now , " Lanie muttered , sounding quite uncertain.
Esposito grabbed her hand. "You can talk about anything with me ," he assured her.
" Javi , I ... did you .. have you ever thought about whether we ... whether we will have kids , " stammered Lanie nervously and didn't dare to look him in the eye , but instead stared at their intertwined hands .
Javi smiled at her , sat up and kissed her gently before he put a hand under her chin and se thus forcing her to look in his eyes.
"Tim has made you think , right? I can tell you , me too. And yes! Lanie can imagine that we'll have children one day," said Javier and Lanie could read in his eyes that he meant it.
A happy smile spread across her face . "Come here so I can kiss you!" she smiled.
This , of course, she didn't need to tell him twice , and their lips melted into a long kiss .
"But not immediately, what do you think?" Lanie wanted to know when the kiss had ended.
Javi shook his head, smiling. " How about in one or two years ," he suggested.
They kissed again , this time more passionate. Lanie sank back into the pillows and pulled him along. "Until then, we just practice for making a baby ," Lanie grinned .
"Nothing better than that," laughed Javi before he let his lips wander over her jaw line to her ear. "I love you , chica , " he whispered before he slowly kissed and sucked down her neck, so that she could be sure that tomorrow she would have a hickey , but she didn't care at all at the moment. All that mattered at the moment was him, he was finally back with her and what was even more important , they had the same plans for their future.
The next morning the alarm clock rang ungracious Lanie switched it off with a moan.
" Just stay in bed with me ," suggested Javier, his eyes still closed as he pulled her even closer.
"I can't baby, I gotta go , " Lanie said half-heartedly , not that she really wanted to get up . He had one arm wrapped around her, on her back she could feel his bare , muscular chest rose and fell evenly and that he now also began to tenderly kiss her shoulder, really didn't make it any easier .
" Javi , I really have to go now , I 'm going to be late to my own lecture ," said Lanie and tried to get up , but Javi pulled back into bed . "Can't you just call in sick? We could make us a nice day, "suggested Javi with his best puppy dog eyes.
"Don't look at me like that , " Lanie told him before kissing him and slowly but surely turned from his arms and stood up.
Javier sat up and enjoyed the sight of her naked body as she went to fetch some fresh clothes from the closet . Now Lanie could practically feel his gaze on her back and she knew that he could bring her to go nowhere today, except back into bed with him.
"Don't look at me like that ," she told him , played in strict tone.
"Okay," Javier replied to her surprise , but a second later it was clear why. He had risen and was standing directly behind her. He touched her shoulders only with the fingertips and slowly slid down her back, the lightest of touches , that let Lanie cringe . Lanie bit her lip to keep herself from groaning.
"I need a shower now," she said in a husky voice.
"May I come with you ," he asked, before he pushed her hair aside and kissed her neck.
That bastard knows what he's doing to me, when he kisses my neck Lanie thought.
"Otherwise, I love to take you with me, but I have to be there in an hour ," said Lanie with her eyes closed as she leaned against him and gave in his touches.
"Then we should take a quick shower , " Javier said between kisses, while his hands still caressed her body very talented .
"Then we should see that we come into the bathroom, " said Lanie and finally pulled it behind her into the bathroom.
