It was a bright sunny morning. Riley's house was quiet expect for the moans and groans coming from the bedroom underneath the blankets. Riley and John came out from underneath the blankets.

"Oh boy." Riley said. "What a way to get woken up?" She said smiling.

"Yeah I figured that would be more fun for you then just telling you to wake up."

"It was." "It felt really good." "Was that your plan?" "Get me all hot and bothered so I'd wanna have sex?"

"No but that was fun to wasn't it?"

"Amazing."

"Can you get a sitter for the kids tonight?"

"Yeah." "Why?"

"Wanna go to dinner tonight?"

"Are you asking me on a date?"

"Yeah."

"Well I've known you for six years and this is a first." She said jokingly.

"Well we do have a daughter together." "I figure it's time."

"Ok." "We'll go out to dinner."

"Great." "Do I get a goodnight kiss?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"You have to earn it and be good."

"Aren't I good already?" He asked smirking at her.

"That's not what I meant."

"I know." There was a knock on the door.

"Fuck." Riley whispered. "Hide." John hid under the blankets. "Come in." Madison walked in. "Hi Madison."

"Hi mommy." Madison said. "I'm hungry."

"Alright go downstairs and I'll be there in a minute." "Is your brother awake?"

"Yeah."

"Take him downstairs with you."

"Ok."

A few minutes later Riley went downstairs. She started to make breakfast. About ten minutes later John snuck down the stairs and went into the kitchen.

"Hi John." Madison said.

"Hi."

"Did you spend the night here?"

"No." "You didn't here me come in just now?"

"No."

"That's probably because I was running the garbage disposal." Riley said.

"Oh." Madison said.

"I'm gonna see if Jenny will watch you guys tonight."

"I like Jenny." Lucas said.

"I know." Riley looked at John. "Every time the babysitter comes over Lucas first with her." "It's cute." "We talk about it at work all the time."

"Work?" John said.

"She's also one of my co-workers."

"Why does Jenny have to watch us mommy?" Madison asked.

"Mommy's going out."

Later that night Riley tucked the kids in bed and was waiting for John. She and Jenny were in the living room.

"Thanks for doing this for me." Riley said.

"No problem." "Are you nervous?"

"Kind of." "We've never been on a date." There was a knock at the door. "I won't be but a couple hours."

"Have fun."

"I will." She opened the door. "Hi John."

"Hi." He said. "Ready?"

"Yeah."

They went to a restaurant. They were eating and drink wine.

"This is nice." John said.

"Yeah." "What I wouldn't have given for this years ago."

"I know." "I was completely unfair to you."

"It's alright." "That's in the past."

"Yeah." "I want to look to the future."

"Me to."

"What do you say we make an honest go of it this time?"

"Are you asking me what I think you're asking me?"

"Yes." "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes." They kissed.
