“we’re gonna have such a perfect family one day. you’re gonna be an amazing father.” he smiled at the thought. he knew those realities would come any time soon, but knowing it was one day going to happen was enough for him. “you’re right. i’m a little obsessed with taking her picture. i can’t help it she’s so cute though. everything she does just makes me want to take another picture or video so we always have it.”

“even when i’m right here? you’re still missing me?” he asked her between stealing more kisses. “just like you’re always going to miss me, i’m always going to worry about you, lily. i always want to make sure you’re okay and you’re happy. that’s what’s most important to me in life.” he brushed her hair back gently. “i can work hard during the day, but make sure i’m home for my girlfriend at night.”

“i look silly.” she said in refute. as he kissed her cheek, she couldn’t help the smile that appeared on her lips. josie’s hand moved between them, slowly rubbing over the bulge in his pants. “you’re perfect. the most handsome man i’ve ever seen.” josie said, dishing the compliments right back to him.

“they aren’t very romantic gifts, really. unlike tonight, where you put on the more romantic date i’ve ever been on.” grace looked at him, her hand moving to hold his. “i’m gonna do better next valentine’s day.” the girl said with a soft smile, liking the promise that they’d get to celebrate another valentine’s day together in the future. “i guess the socks could be kinda romantic, if you’re the type that likes wearing socks when you’re getting down and dirty in the bedroom.” she said teasingly, wiggling her eyebrows. 

“if you think this is embarrassing, just wait until we maybe have kids one day.” he said with a little laugh. he liked thinking about his future with josh and the prospect of having a family together. “she’s getting to the awkward puppy stage where her body isn’t proportionate but it’s so damn cute. we need to make sure we take lots of pictures. i don’t ever want to forget her like this.”

noah couldn’t explain how much he was enjoying just getting to be with the girl, relaxing and not thinking about anything but one another. “no more missing me. i’m right here.” he said softly, tilting her head carefully to press a light kiss to her lips. “i’m gonna make sure i’m around more now. now that i have a grip on my new job, i can make more time to be home and get work done faster.”

she let a soft moan escape from her lips as she felt his hips pressing against hers. her legs slightly tightened around him, wanting to keep him as close as possible, not losing contact. as his lips moved to her neck, her head rested back against the chair, enjoying the feeling of him kissing her. “don’t make me blush.” she whispered with the faintest grin on her lips. 

she leaned slightly into him as he kissed her forehead. as he spoke to her, she turned just slightly, enough to get a better view of him. “it’s been the best valentine’s day ever.” her eyes studied the male’s features. “you’re so handsome. have i ever told you just how handsome you are.” she said, only half teasingly, reaching up to give his cheek a gentle pinch. “I feel bad you did all of this for me…and all I got you for valentine’s day was a journal and some new sicks, like you wanted for christmas, but I wasn’t around to get for you.”

“we really are.” he answered with a laugh. nate looked over at josh as he spoke. “i like that idea. we can just follow honey’s lead wherever you wants to go.” the man smiled softly, giving his hand a small squeeze. “she’s getting so big already. she needs to stop growing up.”

“you are allowed. honestly i’d be pretty offended if you didn’t look at me like a piece of meat.” he said with a little laugh. once in their bedroom, noah grabbed a pair of boxers to quickly slip on before getting into bed next to her. his arm wrapped around her, pulling her in closer before bringing the blankets up over both of them. “thank you for tonight. it’s been absolutely perfect.”he said, kissing the top of her head.” he rubbed her back slowly as they laid there together. “i know we should be saving our money and thinking of bigger plans, but i feel like we should take a vacation soon. get out of here and see somewhere new.”

josie’s legs wrapped around his waist effortlessly, keeping their body’s close together. the girl could never express just how much she loved chris. it was more than words would ever be able to capture. as they laid their kissing one another, she let her lips move against his instinctually. her hands rested at his shoulders, slowly kissing the man on top of her. 

she smiled softly to herself as mason spoke. she knew how nervous she had been when she saw him for the first time since their breakup. she had wanted to play it cool and try to keep it under wraps how much she had missed him, but now there was no point in keeping any of that a secret. “i’ve been really nervous too. it’s hard sometimes. and i’m sure it’s never going to be perfectly easy, but i’m really glad we’re trying.” grace got up and moved to sit down beside him. “tonight we’re gonna be the annoying people that sit on the same side of the table, because I want to be next to you.”

“Well then we have to buy a bunch for our little girl.” he said, standing back up. “sounds good. teamwork.” he opened their front door, letting josh and the dog walk out before him. “have a planned route for us to take today, my love?” he asked, grabbing the boy’s free hand. 

he rolled his eyes teasingly at her words. “are you checking me out right now? like i’m some piece of meat?” he questioned teasingly. “I missed you more.” noah said softly, leaning forward to kiss the girl. “you can pick the movie. knowing me i’ll probably fall asleep halfway through anyway.” he gave her butt a little pat before guiding her back into their bedroom.

josie thought about it for a minute, knowing what she wanted. “just keep kissing me.” she whispered to him, arms wrapping around to keep him close.

grace knew she was taking a risk in trying things again with mason. she trusted him, but it was hard to say whether or not things would get hectic for him again and he’d need to step back from whatever they were developing here. “i’m so glad we have each other, too. even if we’re just slowly working towards something here, it’s nice knowing i have you back in my life. having you to talk to after a long day. it’s just nice.” grace said with a shrug. “i didn’t know how much i missed all of this until you came back.”

as nate heard josh calling out for him, he was rushing down the stairs, still slipping into his shoes and jackets. “i’m here, i’m ready. sorry, my love. nate walked up to the boy and kissed his cheek. “of course we can. I say they had peanut butter cup cupcakes the other day and i just need to get my hands on it.” he said with a little smile before leaning down to pet their dog. “Want me to take the leash or have you got it?”
