**Once again the real world has gotten in the way of this story. I would so rather live in Trenton at Rangeman with Ranger and all the other Merry Men :o)

Chapter 18

SPOV

I woke up the next morning alone in the bed, being in a foreign house it took me a few minutes to get my bearings and figure out where I was. I found a t-shirt and a pair of capri yoga pants, got dressed and pulled my hair up in a messy bun before I headed downstairs. When I hit the bottom of the stairs Ranger was in the kitchen cooking. To me there is nothing sexier than a man that knows his way around a kitchen, except maybe a man with a small child. Where did that thought come from? I could almost see Ranger with a little boy, slightly lighter coloring and bright blue eyes. I shook my head and headed into the kitchen.

"Morning Babe" Ranger said as he flipped the omelet.

"Morning, I'm beginning to think that you don't have a single flaw. You clean, you cook, you treat me like a princess and you're the Cuban sex god." I said as I took my coffee and sat down at the island.

"I'm only a man, and trust me I do have flaws. I treat you like a princess because you don't deserve anything less than that. I clean and cook when I have to, and the sex god comment just got you a thank you orgasm after breakfast." Ranger said with a wink.

We ate our omelets and cleaned the kitchen up together. Afterwards we headed towards the living room and sat down on the couch to talk and spend some time together. I don't know why but I just couldn't shake the whole baby thing from my mind. It's weird since I NEVER wanted kids with Morelli, but I could see mine and Ranger's baby just as clear as day.

"I have a question man of mystery." I said with a smirk.

"I will try my best to answer, go ahead Babe."

"Have you ever thought about having another child? I know that you have Julie, but I didn't know how you felt about more children."

"Julie was not planned, but it doesn't mean she wasn't wanted. I just couldn't give her what she needed in a father figure. I see her some now and really feel like I could have tried harder when she was younger. Instead of signing my rights away, actually changing my life to accommodate her. I really hope that one day I have the chance to do things right, I would love to have one or two more children. I'm to the point in my life I can actually pick and choose what missions I go on with the military, and I have a successful business that will run with or without me around on a daily basis. I just want to get it all right. Have a wife that I love, and that loves me back. Then have the children. I want to make sure that I'm not going to have a child or two then have to go through custody battles and only get to see the child when a judge dictates." Ranger finished and placed a kiss on the inside of each of my palms.

"I'm starting to think the reason I was so freaked out about kids was not because I didn't want them but because I didn't want them with Morelli. When I found out about him screwing with my birth control I was furious, because he forcing it on me. I wanted it to be both of our decisions." I said as I leaned in to Ranger and kissed his cheek.

I think the whole children conversation gave both of us a lot to think about. We laid together on the couch looking out the sliding glass doors as it began to rain. About two hours later we woke up, realizing that we had fallen asleep. I loved these lazy days, and I could tell Ranger did too. We decided because of the rain we would stay one more night here and head back to Rangeman tomorrow. I didn't ever want to leave this house, but I guess if I got to go back to Rangeman with Ranger I could handle leaving. This was one of the best weekend I had ever had. I don't think in the past 30 years I had ever felt more loved that I had in the past 72 hours.
