Chapter 5

Everyone was in shock that Matt and Amanda were having a baby and that Amanda was excited about it. It's not that they weren't happy about the baby, everyone was just worried that Matt might have a relapse and cause more problems than before. Krista and Jeff exchanged looks.

"Well, congratulations to you both. I can't wait to be an Aunt." Krista stated to break the silence.

"It's about time you make me an Uncle." Jeff responded.

"Thank you, both of you." Amanda stated.

"Congrats, bro." Shane stated.

"Same here. We're happy for you." Shannon responded.

Gil didn't need to say anything as he already knew about Amanda being pregnant as she told him when she agreed to go through with putting Matt in rehab. After Shane, Shannon and Julie left, Gil said good night to everyone and headed home himself. Jeff, Krista and Jacob were still at Matt's house helping them clean up.

"If you have a boy I have a ton of clothes you guys can use." Krista stated.

"Thanks. That will definitely help." Amanda responded.

Later that night after getting Jacob to bed, Krista closed his bedroom door and walked into their master bedroom. Jeff was laying on his side of the bed in just a pair of shorts, staring at the ceiling. Krista changed into a night gown and got on the bed with Jeff.

"What are you thinking about?" Krista asked as she laid her head on his chest.

"Just thinking about how much things have changed in last year. We had a baby, Matt went to rehab, he's going to be a daddy, we have our 7th wedding anniversary coming up." Jeff answered as he wrapped an arm around her.

"Very true. Now how about you and I spend some quality time together before your son wakes up again?" Krista suggested.

"Hmm I like that idea." Jeff responded as he placed a kiss on her lips.

As the weeks passed, Amanda started to show and soon they found out that they were having a little girl. Amanda didn't want a baby shower as she and Matt had bought everything they needed right after finding out they were having a girl. By the time Amanda was in her in 7th month, Jacob was already 8 and a half months old and crawling everywhere. He was also teething and loved eating baby food.

"How did you get through the last two months of your pregnancy?" Amanda asked.

"It wasn't easy. And remember I had Jacob 4 weeks early because of the stress Matt caused. The only thing I can tell you is to have your hospital bag packed and ready to go for when you do go into labor." Krista answered.

"That's right. I kind of forgot about that. I have a bag packed and I keep adding to it as I know I'm going to forget something." Amanda responded.

"I did the same thing and I did forget one item, but thankfully Jeff knew what I was missing and brought it to me in the hospital. It's hard to believe that was eight and a half months ago. Time sure does fly by." Krista stated as she fed Jacob.

"Have you and Jeff talked about having more kids?" Amanda asked.

"We have and when we are both ready, we will try for a little brother or sister for Jacob." Krista answered with a smile.

The next two months passed slowly for Amanda and a little too quickly for Krista. Jacob at 10 months old was pulling himself up and trying to walk. Krista was happy that her son was a fast learner and an eager one at that and Jeff was more surprised than ever when he came home from a three week tour to see his son standing and grinning at him.

"It's good to be back home." Jeff stated as he picked up Jacob. "Daddy missed his little buddy and Mommy."

"And we missed you too." Krista responded as she kissed Jeff, and then was smacked by Jacob who giggled. "Jacob!"

"That wasn't nice. You don't hit Mommy." Jeff stated.

Jacob pouted and started to cry. Krista took him and cuddled with him to calm him down. Jeff unpacked and took a shower while Krista put Jacob down for a nap. Krista was sitting on their bed when Jeff came out of the bathroom soaking wet and naked.

"Now that's how I like to see you when we're alone." Krista stated.

"Haha. Where's Jacob?" Jeff asked.

"He's down for a nap." Krista answered.

"Ok. You have something planned don't you?" Jeff asked.

"Who me?" Krista answered with a smile.

"Don't play innocent with me. I know you better than that." Jeff responded.

"Well, since it's been three weeks, I thought we could have a little play time while Jacob is napping." Krista stated as she walked over to Jeff and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I like the way you think, but then we would have to shower all over again." Jeff responded in between kisses.

"So what. We can shower together." Krista stated as she undid her jeans and slid out of them.

Jeff lifted her shirt over her head and tossed it on the floor. It wasn't long before both Jeff and Krista were laying in their bed making love. They were so into each other that neither of them heard the doorbell or heard Shane call out to them. Shane couldn't hear Jeff and Krista upstairs, so he headed upstairs and opened their bedroom door to find Krista on top of Jeff and they were both moaning in pleasure. Shane closed the door again and headed downstairs.

Once Krista and Jeff were done, they both got in the shower and cleaned up. Krista headed downstairs once she was dressed again and saw Shane sitting in their living room. She walked into the room and looked at him confused.
