Emma groaned when she heard Kayla cry once more. She hit Jay, "Get up with Kayla. I got up an hour ago."
Jay rolled over and went back to sleep, "Jay come on." He groaned and got out of bed. He walked across the hall and into Kayla's room.
He lifted her out of bed, "Hi pretty girl."
He took his now 2 week old daughter and set her down on the towel on the floor. He changed her diaper in a dim light. He cooed at her to make sure she didn't go anywhere. When he was done he tried to rock her but it didn't work.
He got frustrated and went back to bed with Kayla laying on his chest. They both fell asleep quickly. Kayla stayed asleep for 3 hours, and at 730 when she woke up, there was no going back to bed for Emma. She picked Kayla up and carried her into the kitchen.
With Kayla in one arm and making a bottle in the other Emma was a little stressed. Factor in the fact that she barely sleeps, neither her or Jay do. They've settled into a routine. They split getting up with the baby at night. During the day Jay worked and Emma stayed home with Kayla, since it was summer.
They had yet to figure out what to do with Kayla during the school year. It was constantly in the back of Emma's mind. She walked down the hall and into the bedroom while feeding Kayla. She sat in bed quietly even though she had to wake Jay up in about 5 minutes.
She looked at Kayla. She looked so peaceful and perfect. Emma wanted to protect her from all the dangers in the world. She wanted her to be perfect and protected forever. Although she knew this was unrealistic and kind of naive she still wanted it.
"Babe, wake up. You have to go to work. Jay, babe come on," Emma tried her best to get Jay to get up. He finally rolled and climbed out of bed. He groaned and hopped in the shower. He got dressed made himself a piece of toast and left for the shop. Without even saying a word to Emma.
Since settling into this routine their relationship was lacking. Sure they slept in the same bed, and they had a little girl, but beyond that they barely even spoke. Maybe it was because of how tired they both were.
Emma got up and went to Kayla's room. She put her in a cute little sun dress. Then she put her in the tiny baby chair for newborns next to the shower. Emma tried her best to shower while watching Kayla. It was difficult but that was life now.
Emma put on little make up and let her natural waves fall down her back. She put on a simple red tank top and shorts to match. She and Kayla sat down in the living room and Emma called Manny.
"Hey Manny," Emma said in a cheery tone.
"Hey Em, what's up?" Manny responded into her cellphone.
"I was wondering of you wanted to do a walk in the park and then the Dot?" Emma asked praying that her best friend was free.
"Oh I'm sorry Em, I'm busy today," Manny said sounding semi apologetic.
"Oh okay that's fine. Call me someday when you're free," Emma suggested. Manny said she would and then the phone call ended.
Emma sighed and pulled out the stroller for Kayla. She set her in, inside her carrier. She left the apartment and decided she would go to the Dot alone.
She pulled up and set the stroller aside. Bringing the carrier inside she sat in the booth near the counter. Spinner Mason came over spoke, "Hi Mommy Emma, what can I get you?"
Emma laughed, Jay and Spinner were good friends therefore leading to Emma and Spinner becoming friends, "Um just a large coffee."
"I'm not sure you're supposed to give babies coffee but alright," Spinner joked and went to get Emma's stuff. Emma looked around the Dot. It seemed awful empty this morning.
People were probably off having teen fun at the pool or beach. She sighed and Kayla played wit her fingers, she loved he daughter and Jay but things were boring.
Spinner came back and even sat down with Emma, "It's slow I might as well have a seat with you."
"Be my guest, it's kind of lonely with me lately anyways," Emma said glancing at her daughter.
"You have Jay, and Manny, and Kayla," Spinner encouraged. Him and Emma never really talked without Jay around but it was nice.
"Yeah well, Jay works a lot, and Manny has almost no time for me. Kayla is great but I don't get any real conversations anymore. I'm sorry I'm talking a lot," Emma just kept opening her mouth and words were coming out. Apparently that's what happens when no one talks to you for a while.
"No worries, you're more friendly than the coffee machine," Spinner made another joke. Him and Emma both laughed. Someone came in the Dot. Emma wasn't paying attention to who it was. Spinner got up and went to the table before retrieving their drinks.
He sat back down with Emma, "You're never going to guess who's over there. Don't turn around."
Emma felt the need to turn around but she didn't, "Tell me please Spin."
Spinner hesitated then spoke, "Manny, and Sean."
Emma nearly choked on her coffee, "What?" She tried her best not to be too loud. Spinner nodded and Emma continued, "That's why Manny wouldn't hang out today."
Spinner glanced in their direction and then his eyes widened, "Oh my gosh. They just kissed."
Emma couldn't take it anymore, "Stay here with her for a minute." She stood up and darted towards their table. "Hey Manny, so this is why you couldn't come to the park with Kayla and I? That's fantastic."
Sean looked down and didn't say a word. Manny looked shocked that she got caught and then was nearly speechless, "I'm sorry Em. It's just Sean and I made plans first."
"I dot care about that. I only care that it's with him. After all that work to fix our friendship, I don't think this is okay. You kept this from me," Emma nearly yelled.
"You never asked Emma, I don't have to tell you everything," Manny spat back at Emma.
"Okay then, you and I aren't friends. Don't even think about coming to visit Kayla either. Whether I'm around or not," Emma stalked away from the gross couple. Emma walked over to Spinner.
"Thanks for the coffee and company Spin, I'm going to go." Emma smile generously at him. She passed him a five dollar bill and took Kayla home.
She started walking down the road and tried her best not to cry. It was heartbreaking to see them together. She was totally over Sean, but to see Manny with him. He was her first love and they had been through a lot together. She sighed and walked into the apartment with Kayla.
After changing her and feeding her, Emma put Kayla down for a nap. She sighed and laid down on the couch. Maybe Emma should have a nap too.
Emma woke up to noise but it wasn't Kayla. Jay had come home for lunch. "Hey Em, sorry I tried not to wake you up."
Emma smiled, "No it's okay. What are you cooking?"
Jay held up a spatula, "Grilled cheese. You want one?"
Emma smiled and sat down at the table, "Yeah, I'll take two. How goes your day?" It was nice he came home and they had a chance to talk.
"Good actually. We've got plenty of work but it's not so much that we're stressed out," Jay said sitting down with some food.
Emma nodded, "That's good Jay. I'm glad you like it at the shop."
Jay smiled at Emma. He too found it nice to have a nice conversation with her, "How was your morning?"
Emma sighed, "Well I did ask Manny to hang out but she was busy. So I went to the Dot for coffee just me and Kayla, and I caught Manny and Sean."
Jay's eyes widened, "Like together, together?"
Emma nodded, "So all that wonderful progress that Manny and I had is down the drain."
Jay tilted his head, "I'm sorry Boo. I know she meant a lot to you."
Emma shrugged and finished up her as sandwiches, "It's okay. If it keeps going down hill the maybe it's not meant to be."
Jay brought their plates to the sink, and Emma followed, "Where's my little girl?"
Emma nodded towards her room, "Napping. It's the only chance I have to sleep too."
Jay nodded, "I know the feeling. I'm exhausted, hey listen I'm sorry I didn't even say Good morning this morning. I was just really tired, I'm pretty sure I was still asleep."
Emma shrugged, "It's no big deal. We're both tired."
Jay nodded and stood in front of Emma. She sat on the edge of the counter. He smiled and pressed his lips to hers.

"Hey Em," Jay said closing the apartment door. He tried not to be too loud since Kayla may be here and asleep.
Emma called from the bedroom, "Hey babe, I'm in here."
Jay walked down the hall and into the bedroom, "Kayla sleeping?"
Emma shook her head, "Not here. I went to see Mom and Dad this afternoon, and they took her for the night. So glad, I love her to death but I'm exhausted."
Jay nodded, "I'm just going to hop in the shower really quick then I'm all yours, promise."
Emma nodded and got out of bed. She had been reading a book since her return from her visit. She pecked Jay quickly on the way by and headed into the kitchen. She started on dinner. It wasn't anything special, jut double cheese pizza.
She made it specially homemade for tonight. She went around the kitchen doing everything she needed to do quickly because they were both hungry.
Jay exited the bathroom and went into the kitchen, "Smells good, what are you making?"
Emma turned and smiled, "Homemade double cheese pizza. I hope it turns out."
Jay clapped his hands together excitedly, "Great, I'm starving."
Emma laughed and lifted the two plates, "Great , dinner is served." She sat down next to Jay at the table and passed him some food. He dug right in and so did she. She hadn't eaten all day, just a coffee at the Dot this morning.
Jay slowed down his eating a little and spoke to Emma, "So how was you're afternoon with the family?"
She shrugged, "Good, uneventful. It was nice to be around people for more than five minutes at a time you know."
Jay looked down at his plate with a small nod, he felt really guilty for how he had been treating her in the past few days. Everything was just so difficult. Emma took slight notice of how Jay suddenly was acting, she held out he hand, "Hey, I'm not mad at you."
Jay took her hand and looked up at her, "Not even a little? I've barely spoken to you in days Em."
Emma shrugged, and offered up a small smile, "It's not your fault we're both busy with what needs to get done. Without you working so hard for us, I'd be living in a leaky basement with a newborn sharing a room in a busy house. You'd only get to visit Kayla, and I'd be with her all the time and I'd be exhausted."
"I know, I guess we just used to talk a lot more is all. I really feel like we're not even on speaking terms anymore," Jay sighed, clearly this was affecting him a lot.
"Like I just said, it's not you're fault. Plus, look at us right now, talking," Emma said with a smile. She honestly wasn't mad at Jay for being the way he was. It was not only him that wasn't speaking, it wasn't as if he was ignoring her. Jay shrugged, and continued eating. He finished and took their plates.
Emma snuck off to the bedroom to change quick. She shuffled around the room. She put on sweat pants, and a simple tank top. But just in case, underneath she had a small thong that was camouflage colors, and for a bra it was matching.
She returned to the living room, and Jay was flipping through their large DVD collection. He sighed and put 4 options on the table. He had the grudge, the notebook, fast and furious, or Waterboy. Emma sat down to have a look, wow four totally different movies.
"Okay, wow those are really different," Emma eyed his choices.
Jay shrugged and sat down, "One of each kind we have. You pick the order."
Emma held up the grudge, "We better do this one while it's still almost light outside."
Jay laughed at Emma, she had always hated scary movies. He popped it in and slumped into the couch. Emma moved in as close as she could get, and laid her head on Jay's chest. She fiddled with the promise ring Jay had given her the day he found out she was pregnant.
He looked down at her fiddling with the ring, "Share some thoughts?"
She shrugged, "Nothing really, I was just thinking how great it is that it fits on my finger again. It didn't fit once I blew up like a balloon. I missed wearing it.
He smiled to himself, "I'm glad you like it so much, and you did not blow up like a balloon."
She smirked, "Yeah okay whatever."
Jay shook his head. There was just no getting that through her head ever. He smiled when he remembered how she looked when she was pregnant. He personally loved it. The way she walked around in tight leggings and his sweaters all day. She hardly bought any pregnancy clothes.
She dug her head into his chest to avoid the scary part. He chuckled and put is hand on her back as to comfort her. She mumbled into his chest something in audible. "What? I don't understand?"
She lifted his head just the slightest, "Can I look now?" He laughed again nodded. She sighed in relief and lifted her head. She met his eyes and didn't turn back to the movie. How long we're they really planning on watching the movie for anyways?
She bit her lip in a simple way but it still drove him nuts, then pressed her lips to his softly. It started out soft, but then got deeper. Jay pulled her sideways onto his lap and her legs hung off to the side. His hands stayed at her waist, his hands barely touching her bare skin.
Emma had one hand cupping his jaw and the other rested on his shoulder. After countless moments she finally pulled away, and breathed some very needed air. She laid her forehead against his, and bit her lip once more.
He smirked and looked into her eyes, "You need to stop that."
She smiled just a little, "Stop what? Kissing you? I don't think I can."
He chuckled for a moment, "I wouldn't wish that in a million years. I meant biting your lip like that. Even last year when I tormented the hell out of you that drove me nuts."
She giggled, "I'm sorry Babe. I don't know what you mean. I don't bit my lip." As soon as the words came out of her mouth she did it again.
He could see the evil glimmer in her eyes. She knew he wanted to attack her mouth and bite it himself, but he wouldn't let her win. He picked her up by the waist and set her back down next to him. She made a small noise as if she was shocked. He tried his best not to even flinch.
She crossed her arms next to him. This just got interesting, she may not have won a second ago but she wasn't giving up. She turned to him with a sly grin. He watched her curiously out of the corner of his eye. She planted three small kisses on his jaw. Then she moved to his ear and whispered, "Baby please."
He tried so hard not to flinch when she whispered in his ear. It was all he could do to ignore her. She tried a few more times, even ram her manicured fingernails through his hair. He groaned internally with pleasure. As much as it was killing him, he was not going to let her win.
She sighed, and sat back down next to him. She needed to really get his attention. She couldn't think of anything until the last 15 minutes of the movie. T hat was it, she had to get naked. She sighed and winded her face with her hand. Him completely forgetting about an hour ago look over at her casually. "Jeez it's hot in here."
She sighed and removed her shirt. Jay quickly turned back to the TV and bit down on his knuckle. He looked out of the corner of his eye. When had she gotten that bra? Jesus he couldn't look anymore. Focus on the movie Jay, he thought to himself.
The movie began to run the credits, and Emma jumped. "I'll get it," she walked over to the TV and bent down to change the disc. She waited to put in the notebook, and did it again. "Jeez it's hot in here."
She then not facing him stripped out of her sweat pants as well. Jay was so caught off guard he didn't look away fast enough. Once he got a glance on her ass, there was no looking away. She smirked, still looking away from him. She popped in the notebook and moved back towards the couch.
Honestly she was cold right now, but that wasn't going to stop her. She smirked, and then sat down right on Jay's lap facing him. "Babe, are you ready to watch the notebook."
He smirked, "Are we really about to watch the notebook?" She smirked right back at him before biting her lip one more time. She assumed this would end the war. She was sitting on his lap, nearly naked, biting her lip like he had said drove him nuts.
He groaned, out loud this time. He wrapped his arms firmly around her waist and there was no getting away. He kissed her quickly then bit down on her bottom lip himself. He felt her shudder in his arms.
She grinned, she had just won the war. She kissed his jaw a few times then moved down his neck. She removed his shirt and let her hands move slowly down his bare chest. Emma then reached into his sweat pants and grabbed his hardening member.
His breath hitched in his throat when she got rid of his pants. He immediately unclasped her bra and it fell away. He left her gaze for a moment and separated in awe. She was so beautiful. She left his member alone for a moment to remove her own underwear. She sat on Jay's lap, and began to pleasure herself.
He watched carefully in awe of what was going on right now. He was more than glad now that she had won the war. He guided her hand away from her centre and she licked her own fingers. He lifted her slightly and pushed himself into her. She cried out as he dove in.
She moved quickly on top of him. He held her breast and sucked each one occasionally. She hand her hands digging into his shoulders, and his hands firmly on her ass. She slammed down once more before riding out their climaxes. He held her tight and called out her names several times. She grunted and called his name right back. She finished and glad off of him collapsing on the couch by his side.
He sighed, "That was so worth letting you win."
She smirked, "So you're admitting I won?"
He looked down at her with her head on his shoulder, "Please, you knew you won the second you put that one in the bedroom earlier."
She giggled, "Yeah I know." Jay mocked her same words in a tone that made them both laugh. She snuggled in closer to him, and he wrapped an arm around her. She yawned a big yawn, and was now even more tired than before.
"You ready for bed now?" He asked looking down at her in his big strong arms. She nodded and he picked her up bridal style. She grinned and locked her hands around his neck. She smiled when he laid her down in bed and crawled under the blankets next to him.
She once again snuggled in as close as she could, she even tangled her legs around his. He happily put an arm around her, and held her closer than ever. They both closed their eyes to sleep in peace. Kayla was coming home tomorrow, and they both needed to sleep.
Jay mumbled he loved her quietly before drifting off. Emma did the same and wasn't very far behind him.
