1992:
Adriana and Jon sat in front of the t.v. set watching Cops.
"Wow. This is so cool," Jon said.
Jon watched as a police officer chased down a thief in the woods.
"Being a police officer seems scary," Adriana said.
"But it looks so cool. Maybe I should become a police officer," Jon said.
"You would look interesting in an police suit," Adriana said.
"I know," Jon said.
Jon the tickled Adriana.
Present:
Adriana was doing the laundry. She watched as Jon was playing with J.J. in his playhouse.
Adriana tried her hardest to not argue in front of J.J. Sometimes her and Jon did get a little physical with each other, but nothing ever escalated out of control.
Jon played hide and seek with J.J.
"I found you Daddy!" J.J. said.
"You cheated!" Jon said.
"No I didn't!" J.J. said.
Jon picked up J.J.
"Would you like something to eat, little man?" Jon said.
"Burger King!" J.J. said.
Jon and J.J. went back into the house.
"I'm going to take J.J. to Burger King. You want to come with us?" Jon asked.
"No, I'm alright. You two go and have fun," Adriana said.
Jon kissed Adriana. J.J. leaned in and kissed his mother on the cheek.
"Bye, Mommy," J.J. said.
"Bye honey," Adriana said.
On the way to get something to eat, J.J. asked his father some questions.
"Daddy, are you and Mommy going to leave each other?" J.J. asked.
Jon readjusted his rearview mirror and fixed it so that he could see his son.
"No, we're not. What makes you think that?"
"You guys fight. Mommy says she doesn't know if you and her are going to stay with each other," J.J. said.
"You listen to me, and you listen to me good," Jon said. "Mommy and Daddy may fight but we are not leaving each other. And we love you very much, alright? Don't ever think we don't. We're sorry for fighting in front of you. But we are not leaving each other."
"Okay, Daddy," J.J. said. "I love you."
"I love you, too. Hey, there's a bring your kid to work day tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?" Jon asked.
"Yes!" J.J. said. "I want to be a police officer like you!"
Jon smiled.
"He asked you that?" Adriana said.
"Yes, he did," Jon said.
Adriana sighed.
"I'm sorry. I've been acting like a bitch lately," she said.
"Don't you dare say that about yourself! We're going to be fine. Alright? Tomorrow I'm taking J.J. to work with me," Jon said.
"I'm going to visit my mom," Adriana said.
"Tell her and Bob I said hi," Jon said.
"Will do."
"This place is huge!" J.J. said out of excitement.
"This is where I come and do boring paperwork until I have to go and patrol the streets," Jon said.
"Oooohhh," J.J. said. "So many papers!"
"J.J. don't write-" Jon said.
J.J. had already scribbled something on a report Jon was still filling out.
'Damn,' Jon thought to himself. 'Now, I just told this boy not to write on anything important.'
"How do you like my signature, Daddy?" J.J. said.
"It's perfect," Jon said.
Jon gave J.J. a kiss on the cheek.
"Is this your badge too?" J.J. asked. He picked it up and examined it.
"Yes it is," Jon said.
"So shiny! Can I have one?" J.J. asked.
"Of course. I'll get you one," Jon said.
"Thanks Daddy. You're the best," J.J. said. "I love you."
That warmed Jon's heart.
"I love you, too."
J.J. was worn out by the time him and Jon got back home. Jon laid J.J. in his room.
Adriana was watching t.v. by herself. Jon decided to join her for the night.
"Hey you," Adriana said. "Oh, Mom and Bob says hi."
"How are they doing?" Jon asked.
"They're doing good," Adriana said.
"Well, for the rest of this week I have to go on patrol for a few hours at night," Jon said.
"Be careful alright?" Adriana said.
"You know I'll be just fine. After we drop J.J. off at school, you want to go back to our favorite spot in the entire universe?" Jon asked.
"Sure thing."
Both of them stood in front of the tree that Jon carved their initials into. Jon held Adriana's hand tight.
"Brings back so many memories," Adriana said.
"Yeah it does. They still have the same slide and everything," Jon said.
Adriana and Jon walked around the park that was their second home. Adriana sat on the swingset. Jon stood behind her and pushed her. Memories after memories after memories came running back.
"Don't push me too hard. You might push me off," Adriana said.
"Don't worry. I'll go easy on ya!"
Jon caught Adriana and tickled her.
"Jon!"
Adriana broke away and ran off. Jon caught up to her quickly and tackled her to the ground.
"Jon! My dress!" Adriana said.
"I love your underwear. Mmmm, purple..." Jon said.
"Jon! No!" Adriana said.
Jon picked Adriana up and carried her to the picnic table.
"Jon, what're-"
She was cut off by Jon kissing her hard. He stuck his tongue in her mouth and rubbed his hands over Adriana's breasts.
It's been a while since both of them made love to each other. Adriana grabbed a fistful of Jon's hair. Jon pushed up Adriana's dress. He planted kisses on her neck. The touch of Jon's lips was making her crazy.
"Jon...let's go home...and do this," Adriana said.
Jon stopped and helped Adriana off of the table. He led her back to the car.
"Get in the back," he said to Adriana.
"Wait...what?"
"Get in the back, Adriana," Jon said.
Adriana got in the backseat. Jon joined her.
He unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants.
"I need you," Jon said. "More than you know."
Jon pulled down his pants and boxers. Adriana lifted up her dress again and pulled off her panties.
Jon slid into Adriana.
Slowly they made love to each other.
It was only them two in the universe now.
Everything that the both of them have been through didn't matter at this point. No matter how angry they got at each other, the both of them knew that they couldn't be apart. Divorce was not an option for them. They refused to break up and they refused to break J.J.'s heart.
Adriana clawed into Jon's arms. She was trying hard not to scream out but she couldn't help herself.
Their orgasms came quickly.
They looked into each other's eyes after coming off of their high.
"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Adriana said.
"Yes it has. Been too damn long if you ask me," Jon said.
"I like your hair when it's slicked back," Adriana said.
"Well, now it's all jacked up thanks to you," Jon said, smiling.
"I'll help you fix it," Adriana said.
She kissed Jon and sat up.
"I still feel bad for hitting you and saying those things to you. I know you said it was okay but it wasn't. I shouldn't have did that. And for that, I truly am sorry," she said.
"All of that is in the past now," Jon said. He kissed Adriana again. "Let's go home."
Jon had went to work later than night. Adriana had finally learned to stop worrying so much about Jon.
Patroling the streets was absolutely nothing compared to his tenure in Iraq. At least he was here in the states.
Everything was quiet where Jon was. He was driving slow through the streets making sure everything was okay. He pulled over in front of a liquor store and got out. He was hungry and wanted something to snack on. Jon had entered into the store and went to the drink section.
He heard someone else walk in.
"Give me all of the damn money!"
