A month had passed. AJ was two months pregnant. She and John had talked on the phone every night after the kids went to bed. In a way it was like they were getting to know each other all over again. Tomorrow John was coming to New Jersey. He was spending two days there. He and AJ were finally going on a date. AJ had just put the kids to bed. She decided to take a bubble bath and relax. Her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." John said.

"Hi."

"What are you doing?"

"Taking a bubble bath."

"Really?" "Hmm."

"Stop it." She said smiling.

"What?"

"You shouldn't be thinking about a single woman in her bathtub."

"Well hopefully you're not single to much longer."

"Don't count your chickens mister." "Just because we're talking about maybe getting back together, doesn't mean we're going to."

"I know." "You got to admit though, hasn't it been nice talking to each other like this?"

"Yeah." "It reminds me of when we first started going out." "We were so happy then."

"We could be that happy again." "How are the girls?"

"Fine." "Sleeping like little angels."

"Or so we thought like on New Years Eve." He said laughing.

"Yeah."

"I'd like to have a night like that again but slower."

"We'll see." "I did really enjoy that night though."

"I know I heard you that night." He said laughing.

"John." She said laughing.

"I'm kidding." "I enjoyed it to." "How's the baby?"

"Good." "I'm gonna get off here and go to bed."

"Alright." "I'll see you, the girls and the baby tomorrow."

"Ok bye."

"Bye."

The next day John came to the house.

"Ok girls ready to go to the movies and dinner?" John asked.

"Yeah." They both said. AJ put on her coat.

"Where are you going mommy?" Halley asked.

"I'm going with you guys." AJ said.

"Why?"

"I want to."

They went to the movies and dinner. They put the girls to bed and went downstairs. AJ walked John to the door.

"Today was really fun." AJ said.

"Yeah." "I had fun." "The girls had a blast." "What about you?" He asked rubbing her stomach. "Did you have fun?" "AJ are you sure you don't want me to pick you up for our date tomorrow."

"No." "I don't want the girls getting there hopes up."

"Alright." "See you tomorrow night."

"Ok goodnight."

"Goodnight."

The next night AJ was getting ready to leave.

"Mommy you look really pretty." Jessica said.

"Thank you Jessica."

"Where are you going?"

"To dinner."

"Why aren't me and Halley going?"

"It's a restaurant for grown ups."

"Oh have fun."

"I will you and your sister be good for the babysitter."

AJ met John at the restaurant.

"Hi." She said sitting down.

"Hi." "Wow you look great."

"Thanks." "You look nice to."

They were eating there food and talking.

"I'm so glad you agreed to do this." John said. "I've missed you for a long time."

"Well I'm not making any promises yet but if things keep going the way they are, things just might work out."

"Good." "I want them to."

"I do to." "Really." "I'm scared."

"Of what?"

"Of allowing myself to fall back in love with you." "I want to." "It's just you hurt me real bad before." "I believe you when you say you won't do it again." "I want to be able to trust what you say and while I'm trying, I still don't."

"I know but that's why we're doing this like this." He took her hand. "To show you that all I want now is you and our family."

John walked AJ to her car.

"I had fun tonight." AJ said.

"Me to." "So, do I get another date?"

"Yeah."

"Good." He kissed her. She kissed him back. It was slow and passionate. It broke after a few minutes. "I know we agreed to wait on the sex but it's hard to after you kiss me like that."

"Just think about New Years Eve." "That should hold you over."

"Just out of curiosity, no rush or anything, when do you think we'll have sex again?"

"If things are going good between us and it feels right we will." "If and when we do I'd like it to be spontaneous this time." She kissed him. "I gotta go." "Bye."

"Bye."
