Chapter 6

That night, John and Amelia lay in bed and listened to Isabella sleep. Both were exhausted from the previous few days and soon they were both asleep. John and Amelia took turns getting up with Isabella so the other could get a few hours' sleep at a time. Amelia was up with Isabella around 7am and walked down to the kitchen with her so she could make her a bottle.

"Amelia, why don't I take her and you go back up and get some more sleep." Carol stated from the doorway.

"Are you sure?" Amelia asked.

"Yes. I'm sure." Carol answered as she took the baby and the bottle from Amelia.

Amelia smiled and headed back upstairs and quietly slipped back into bed. John rolled over and wrapped an arm around Amelia and kissed her neck. Amelia just smiled.

"Where is Isabella?" John asked.

"With your mom." Amelia answered.

"Ok." John responded.

It wasn't long before they both were back to sleep. Later that morning after showers and breakfast, John pulled his parents aside to ask them about watching Isabella so he could take Amelia out on a real date. They smiled at their son and told him to have fun.

"So, my parents are going to watch Isabella tonight for me. I want tonight to be our night out." John stated.

"I would love that." Amelia answered. "But before we have our date, we need to go shopping for Isabella."

"We do?" John asked.

"Yes. She is sleeping in a barrowed crib and you don't have anything else for her. She needs a room of her own and furniture, toys and clothes. Plus it wouldn't hurt to stock up on diapers and wipes." Amelia answered.

"I've never done this before." John stated.

"I know. And I am here to help you. Let's stop by my house first and then we can go shopping." Amelia responded.

"Sounds like a plan." John stated.

John and Amelia made sure that his parents had everything they needed for Isabella before they walked out the door. Amelia left her number with them as well just in case. John drove them over to Amelia's house. John followed Amelia in to the house and he shut and locked the front door.

Amelia headed up to her room to pack another bag of clothes and such to take over to John's house. John watched her from the door way and just smiled at the way she moved about the room. John quietly shut the bedroom door and walked over to her.

He placed his hands on her hips and pressed his body against hers. Amelia felt a jolt of electricity surge through her body. John turned her around and they were face to face. Amelia's breathing became a little more rapid and John leaned in and kissed her. Their kiss soon became passionate as their bodies pressed against each other.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Amelia asked.

"I've never been surer in my life." John answered.

John and Amelia stripped each other before climbing on the bed. As they made love to each other for the first time, John made sure that Amelia's needs and wants were taken care of first before his own. As they both reached a final climax, John and Amelia held each other close.

After getting cleaned up and redressed, John and Amelia headed out the door and to the shopping center to get Isabella everything she needed. Since they were in John's truck, they were able to fit all the furniture in the bed of the truck and the bags in the back seat. When they got back to John's house, John and his dad unloaded the furniture and Amelia headed into the house to unpack the bags.

"Looks like you two had fun shopping." Carol stated.

"It was fun." Amelia responded as she started pulling baby clothes out of the bags.

"Do you want me to get a laundry basket?" Carol asked.

"That would be great. Everything has to be washed before Isabella can wear it or sleep in it." Amelia answered.

Carol grabbed a few of John's laundry baskets and set them in the living room before helping Amelia sort through all the new clothes and bedding. Amelia had made sure that they picked up baby laundry detergent as it is meant for sensitive baby skin. Carol and Amelia got the laundry started and since it was going on lunch time, they started making lunch for everyone. John and his dad were busy putting furniture together in the room next to John's.

"Lunch is ready." Amelia told John and his dad just as Isabella started to fuss. "I'll get her."

Amelia walked into John's room and picked up Isabella. She changed her diaper and her outfit as it was slightly wet. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen to fix a bottle for the baby. Carol watched as Amelia did everything while holding Isabella and when John came downstairs, she pulled her son aside.

"John, I know I was slightly harsh the other day, but I want you to know that I think Amelia is the best thing to happen to you in a long time. Don't let her get away." Carol told him.

"Thanks, Mom." John responded.

After lunch, the guys went back to putting the furniture together and Carol took Isabella from Amelia so she could finish up the laundry before hers and John's date that night. Amelia folded all the clothes and hung the ones that needed to be hung in the closet in the new nursery. As Amelia was putting away the clothes, John and his dad finished up the last of the furniture and put the room together.
