A/N Another update! Let me know what you think.

Wailing.

Groaning, I pulled the blanket over my head to try and block out the sound. This is the second time tonight and I can't bear it any more. Keeping my eyes closed, I tried to get back to sleep but the more I tried the louder the screaming became. Letting out a sigh, I pushed the blanket down and rolled over.

"James" I said croakily while nudging the solid man beside me "James, get up" pushing him harder, he groaned in response "He's screaming again"

"What do you want me to do about it?" he mumbled under his breath. Pushing his head further into the pillow, I knew he'd gone back to sleep.

"James!" I whined before pushing him "I've done if for a month. It's your turn" he didn't move and I snapped "Get up!"

Another deep groaned rumbled out "Fine, alright. I'm going" he replied sluggishly before sitting up and pulling on a pair of track suit pants. Stumbling out of the room, I closed my eyes and the crying soon stopped. Sighing in relief, I settled back into the bed with blissful quietness.

Drifting off to sleep, it seemed as if only a few minutes had passed when my eyes snapped open from a sudden ringing noise to my left. I knew straight away it wasn't the cries of the baby, but the beeping noise of the alarm I'd set. Slapping it off, I groaned in almost pain at the lack of sleep I've gotten. It wasn't like this in the beginning. Johnathan was always asleep and calm and now he's constantly crying for attention.

How do people function?

Pulling the blankets back up over my head, I rested my eyes for only a moment when I drifted off once again; only to be brought back by a sudden shove of the mattress "Katya" called James "Wake up"

"What?" I mumbled through the blanket "Five more minutes. I promise I'll get up" taking a deep breath, I relaxed when he rocked the bed again with a nudge of his knee "Jesus, what is it?" I snapped with frustration "What's wrong?" I know I shouldn't be getting angry, but I can't help it.

"It's nine-thirty and he needs to eat"

Sticking my hand out under the blanket, I waved and gestured sluggishly "There's bottles in the fridge. I pumped yesterday. There's plenty and if he doesn't like it, there's formula in the top cupboard"

"He won't drink the milk and we ran out of formula two days ago" he replied. Groaning, I can't believe this and I know it isn't going to be my day. Rubbing my eyes, I shoved off the blanket.

"Okay" I said while getting up "Just give me a minute" heading into the bathroom, I relieved myself before tapping my cheeks to try and jolt myself awake. Brushing my teeth and hair, I glanced in the mirror to see an awfully tired face staring back at me.

Making my way into the living room, James stood rocking Johnathan back forth before turning to look at me. Stretching my arms out, he passed me the baby who started to wail again because of the shift in movement. Hushing the infant, I took him over to the couch and sat down. Propping him up, I pulled down my top before wincing. Everything is sensitive including my breasts, and Johnathan had pinched them more than twice before.

After he'd finally finished, the little bub went off to sleep and I sighed inwardly in fear of disturbing his once again. Coming over, James leant in and took Johnathan "I'll take him to bed"

I didn't argue and instead fixed my shirt before sitting back. Closing my eyes, I heard the sound of cars and voices faintly from the large glass windows. Even at this early hour people bustle in the streets, going to either their jobs or lunch dates. Feeling a pair of hands resting on my shoulders, they gave a squeeze before massaging the tender area.

"You should get some more sleep" said James "I'll keep an eye on him"

As much as the offers sounds extremely irresistible, I shook my head "No, it's alright. I should stay awake" opening my eyes, I got up from the couch "I'm gonna go to the shops to get a few things" heading into the bedroom to get properly dressed, I tossed on a pair of sunglasses before grabbing an apple from the kitchen for a simple breakfast "I'll be back soon"

Nodding his head, James sat on one of the bench stools typing away on his computer. Lately he's been using his free time to catch up on various things on the internet. Tugging on my boots, I headed all the way down to the main lobby of the tower. As time had passed and I'd given birth to Johnathan, James had allowed me much more freedom. First it was simple things such as leaving the apartment to see Wanda, but now I'm able to leave the Tower on my own; as long as it isn't too far.

Heading down the street, a block away is a small corner shop and the bell rang when I stepped in. Going straight for the baby isle, I searched for the right formula tin. Grabbing two containers along with some bread and milk, I made my way to the front counter. I had to refrain from gasping in shock.

"Amelia?" spoke the familiar voice of Cassidy "It's you"

I took off my sunglasses "Cassidy. What a surprise" I replied before asking "When did you start working here, so far away?"

"A month ago" she answered "I thought your dad would have told you. I bumped into him when he was jogging on the other. I was just on my way from an interview for the job" I nodded my head with a smile, whilst wondering inside why James hadn't told me "You haven't been at school. Is everything okay? Your house was up for sale when I last checked"

"Yes, it was a last minute decision. As for school, I won't be going back. I've discovered a better suited pathway" I replied hesitantly.

"That's a shame" Cassidy replied with saddened tone. Grabbing my items, it didn't take her long to realise what she held "Baby formula?" she questioned confused.

I was silent for a moment before I came up with a story "It's for my Aunt. We've moved in with her and she has a baby boy" I spoke with a wide smile.

"Oh!" gleamed the red head.

"Thank you" I nodded. After scanning the other things, I paid and grabbed the bags before wishing her well "I have a good day Cassidy. It was nice to meet you again"

"Yeah, I was hoping we could catch up some time"

Perhaps I couch see her again but I doubt James would like it, especially if he failed to mention anything about their encounter nearly a month ago. I have no idea what his excuse for that would be. Putting on my sunglasses, I headed back to the Tower and stopped on my way when a flash of colour and earthly scents caught my attention.

Flowers.

Pursing my lips as I touch the pink petals, I don't see how it would hurt to by a bouquet. The apartment could use with some added colour and a scent other than baby powder and musky cologne. Purchasing a rather vibrant bunch, I quickly made my way through the Tower lobby and up to the apartment.

Closing the front door behind me, I saw James still sitting at the counter as he scrolled through his laptop; however he must have taken Johnathan back to his cot earlier on. Putting down the bags on the counter, I grabbed a vase from one of the cupboards and filled it with some water. Lying the flowers down, I grabbed a pair of scissors "They look nice" spoke James.

"I thought it might liven the place" I replied while snipping the ends of the stems and placing them in the vase.

"What are you trying to say?" he joked "Aren't I cheerful or exciting enough?" shaking my head with a grin, I emptied the sachet of flower food in with the water.

"I like the smell better"

"Now you're saying I stink" he said with a light chuckle and shake of his head "I'm hurt" he added mockingly while placing a hand over his heart.

Raising an eyebrow, I sat the vase over to the side and walked over to him "I'm sure you'll survive" patting him on the back, I went to walk away when he tugged me back. Pulling me close, James wrapped his arms around my waist. The feeling of his warm embrace felt nice "I have a question" I said to which he groaned and buried his face into my chest "What was that for?"

"Every time you have a question, it's never any good" he mumbled. I suppose I can't deny it. In fact, I was just about to ask him as to why he'd never mentioned Cassidy. I'm assuming that it would have ended up in an argument no doubt.

James sighed and I gently tugged on his hair to make him look at me. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I pressed my lips against his in a firm kiss. I know it's been a while since we've been intimate. Slipping his tongue into my mouth, the moment grew heated and I was soon lifted from the floor. Wrapping my legs around his waist, James sat me on the bench and I moaned when I felt him press against me hard and ready.

Unbuttoning my pants and tugging them down, his hand wedged between my legs to rub at my sensitive bundle of nerves. Biting my lip with a moan, I pulled him closer to pepper kisses along his neck. Dipping his finger in all the way, a pool of warm rushed to my groin before he added another. The way his digits rubbed up inside of me made my inside twist with pleasure. It's been far too long.

Leaning back from me, James unbuckled his jeans before tugging me closer to the edge of the bench. Pressing the tip of his throbbing member along my entrance he slowly sunk himself into me. A gasp escaped from my lips along with a wince as my walls stretched to accommodate his size. Pushing into me slow at first, the pain eased to be replaced with a coiling pressure.

Moaning into his shoulder as I clutched him tight, James picked up his speed with a sudden ram of his hips. Giving a sharp whimper, I can feel him nudging up against my uterus; so incredibly deep. Nearing the edge of a rather intense orgasm, James gripped my hips tight as he gave deep guttural moans above me. Suddenly a high-pitched wailing scream echoed out from down the hallway and I stiffened.

"The baby" I said with a hard swallow as James continued to thrust into me.

"He's fine"

Kissing along my neck and then up toward my face, he planted his warm lips on my mine. Holding onto me tight so I didn't move too much, my fingers curled into the fabric of his shirt but I couldn't manage to grab back that winding pleasure from before; it had dulled with Johnathan's screams. I shook my head when I couldn't take the sound any more "Stop"

"What?" nudging James away, he let go of me with a frustrated groan. Quickly pulling on my underwear for some form of coverage, I darted straight for the nursery. Leaning over Johnathan's cot with a coo, his face had scrunched a pinkish red as I held him.

"It's okay" I spoke softly "Mummy's here"

Rocking the little infant in my arms, his diaper didn't feel warm or heavy so he mustn't need a diaper change. Instead, I think our loud ruckus had woken him up. Pacing up and down the room, Johnathan eventually stopped crying as I hummed and patted his little back "Is he alright?" turning to look at James, he stood leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed.

"Yeah, he's okay" I replied. James' eyes wandered down to the now sleeping and calm baby in my arms before sighing and walking off to the bedroom. After doing a few more laps in the room to make sure he's alright, I settled Johnathan back down in his cot.

Heading into the main bedroom I saw James sitting on the edge of the mattress. Stalking over, I ran my fingers through his hair "I'm tired" he said "I'm going to bed"

My brows furrowed in confusion and I knelt down to look at him "You weren't tired before. What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm just tired" he huffed.

Glancing down, I can see the straining bulge in his pants and knew he's lying "Then you can sit there" I replied softly before undoing his pants. James didn't stop me in the slightest as I took him in my mouth, sucking and swirling my tongue in all the right ways. Giving a light groan, his hand clutched my hair to press me down harder.

Gagging, my hands tightened on his jean clad thighs. I've only ever done this once, much earlier on when we were still living in the house. He seemed to like it, even though I was going off of knowledge instead of experience. A moment longer and the passion from before seemed to ignite when he pulled me away, only to pick me up from the floor and drop me onto the bed.

Quickly kicking off my underwear, I rolled over onto all fours and arched my back. With my backside in the air and my legs spread wide, James' warm hands placed themselves on my hips "Close the door" I spoke over my shoulder. I don't want Johnathan to wake up again.

I felt the swollen tip pressing into me before slipping past to sink deep down "Just keep quiet" he said as my mouth parted with a hitched gasp. Clutching the twisted sheets beneath me, my walls clenched around him as he thrusted into me with a rock of his hips.

It's going to be a very long night.
