Disclaimer: I don't own the characters in this story. They are own by NBC. I just borrowed them for a few moments. I promise to return them by Saturday night. Of course, Jarod maybe a little late. If I can get him away from Miss Parker long enough. We have some unfinished business.

Summary: It's Jarod's birthday. See what his wife gives him.

Parker woke the next morning to Jarod's hand on her breast. He was rubbing her nipple between his finger tips. She started to move when Jarod kissed the back of her neck. She rolled over and smiled.

"Good morning." she said softly, still smiling.

"Good morning." he answered back with a grin.

He kissed her lips hard and smooth. "I love you." he whispered.

"I love you,too. What are you up to?" she asked as she gazed into his eyes.

"Nothing. Can't I wake up next to my wife." he asked innocently.

"Yeah." she answered as she heard Kyle talking to his sister and Parker moved to get up when Jarod pulled her back.

"One more kiss," he said. She bent down and touched his lips, kissing him slowly as her tongue ran over the roof of his mouth.

"How was that?" she asked.

"Perfect."

She got up from the bed to check on the kids, she looked back toward him and said, "Happy Birthday."

He smiled. "You remembered."

"Of course. I will give you your birthday present later tonight." She smiled mischievously and walked off.

Jarod grinned and got up. He walked into the living room, gave his kids a kiss and headed toward the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around his wife and whispered in her ear. "What is my present?"

"You'll have to wait until later to find out," she replied. "Now I have to get ready for work." She walked in the bathroom and Jarod got Catherine ready for school. Parker kissed him good-bye as she and Catherine headed out. "See you later," she said with a grin.

**********

When Parker arrived at work she met up with Sydney and Broots, who handed her a cup of coffee.

"Thank you." she mumbled, accepting the mug.

"Well, you are in a good mood," Sydney observed.

"I guess we have Jarod to thank for that." Broots replied lowering his voice.

Parker hearing the remark, walked over to him and whispered in his ear, "I guess you do."

Broots jumped. He was comforable around Parker but was still afraid of her. She liked it that way. A moment later, Sam walked into the office.

"Parker, these just arrived for you." He handed her a dozen red roses in a vase.

"I guess you did something right this morning," Broots snickered, taking his life into his own hands.

Parker glared at him then smiled. She walked over to her desk and sat the roses down while smelling them and went for the card. She opened it up and read...

I love you. Happy Birthday.

Love Jarod

She looked at it funny. Sydney knew that look and turned to Broots.

"Come on, we have work to do."

"Well, actually we are caught up."

Sydney hit Broots' arm. He looked over to him and said, "Oh...work...yeah. I bet there is something we forgot."

Two men hurried from the room as Parker sat in her chair and picked up the phone. It hang six times before a distracted voice finally answered. "Hello?"

"Jarod, I got the roses."

"Good. I hoped they would arrive early this morning."

"Jarod, I don't understand the card. It's not my birthday."

"Well, you see. I don't need anything. I have you. That is all I want for my birthday, you and the kids."

"Oh." she said. "Then I guess I don't have to give you, your present tonight."

"Well, since you already planned to give it to me anyway. Then, I guess would take it. I don't want to hurt your feelings."

"Uh huh," she replied slowly and Jarod could hear the teasing in her voice.

"What is it?" he asked again, hoping to catch her off guard.

"I told you, you'll have to wait until tonight." she answered patiently.

"Come on. Just a hint," Jarod begged.

"No."

"Come on. Please?"

"Bye, Jarod. Oh, and don't bother looking for it at the house. It's not there." she advised as she diconnected the call.

Jarod signed and hung up the phone.

"Okay kids. We can stop playing daddy's game now. It's not here." he called out as he started putting things back where they belonged.

Parker was staring out the window when Sydney walked in.

"Are you still having the birthday party later today?"

"Yes. You are coming, right?"

"I wouldn't miss it," he assured her, stepping aside as Broots came in.

"Broots, I hate to ask but do you think Debbie would keep the kids tonight."

"Oh, I'm sorry she is going out with some friends."

"I will keep them." Sydney said quickly.

Parker frowned.

"Are you sure you want to do that, Syd?"

"Yes. I haven't kept them in a while. Besides, Angelo will be there to help entertain them."

Parker looked over at him. "Are you sure?" she asked again.

"Yes, Parker. Let me keep them. I'll take them home after the party."

Parker shrugged, wondering if Sydney knew how much energy it took to take care of three kids.

"Okay," she agreed. "They're all yours."

**********

Later that afternoon, Parker sent Jarod out on an errand. As soon as he left, she started to get the kids and the cake ready, thankful when Syd and Angelo came by early to help.

"Where is Broots?" Sydney asked.

"He will be here shortly," Parker answered. She bent down toward Catherine. "Would you like to go home with uncle Sydney for the night?"

"Yeah. It will be fun. I love his stories."

Parker looked up at Syd. "What are you telling her?"

"Oh, she wants to know how her mother and father got together. She loves that story."

"Sydney..." she began, stopping when Broots and Debbie came in.

"Where is the birthday boy?" Broots asked looking around for Jarod.

"I sent him out. How does it look?"

"Good," he replied, turning toward the door as they heard Jarod's car. "And just in time."

A minute later Jarod came in carrying baby Sydney. "What's going on?"

"A birthday party for you daddy," Catherine yelled as she ran over to him.

Jarod handed the baby to Angelo and walked over to Parker. "This is my present?"

"Well, no. Not actually. You will get my present later tonight," she says with a coy smile.

"Oh? I'm liking it already."

The party wasn't very long since Parker had plans for the evening. They sang happy birthday and had cake, then everyone left, including the kids. After closing the door behind the guest, Parker walked up to Jarod and gave him a kiss.

"I'll meet you in the bedroom with your present."

"I'm on my way," he replied with a grin, quickly following her.

She stopped him with a hand on his chest.

"No. You have to wait. I don't have it ready. I will call for you," she assured him before going into the bedroom and leaving him there.

It seemed liked forever to Jarod, but it wasn't long until she called his name. He walked in to find her laying on the bed with nothing on but a red bow.

"I like it," he told her, a sly smile playing on his lips. He moved toward his wife and sate next to her on the bed.

"Can I untie it now?"

"Well, it is your birthday," she reminded him with one eyebrow raised.

Jarod kissed her lips then began untieing the bow. His hands ran over her flesh slowly, taking his time. He kissed her softly and gently from one spot to another. She giggled as his unshaved face ran over her skin, tickling her. She looked at him and kissed him again. He took one hand and ran it over a nipple. He stared into her eyes then looked down at her nipple again as it began to get hard from him massaging it. He looked up at her again.

"What's wrong?" she asked, concerned.

"Nothing."

"You look like a young teenage boy about to make love for the first time."

"I want to take my time with you." he told her softly.

"We have all night." she whispered back.

Jarod moved closer and kissed her lips again. His tongue ran down her neck to her nipple. He finally took it and played with it in his mouth. With his other hand he took the other breast and squeezed gently, holding her next to him. He broke lose from her nipple and moved lower. He kissed her stomach, before moving on. He ran his fingers over her, gently massaging her clit. He took his tongue and kissed her inner thigh. She laughed as his whiskers tickled. He then moved back to her clit and ran his tongue over it before taking it. She ran her fingers through his hair and moaned loudly at his touch.

"Jarod." she called out.

He didn't let go, at least not yet. When he was finished he moved back up her body. Touching every curve. He kissed her neck and whispered in her ear, "This was the best birthday I have ever had."

She ran her hands up his chest and pulled his face to where their eyes met.

"Thank you." she said. She flipped him over quickly to where she was on top of him.

"You always do this to me. It's my birthday," he said.

"And you will get your way. I'm just going to help you out of these clothes," she replied with a smile.

"Oh..."

She started to kiss his chest. Licking each nipple, racking her teeth over it slowly, before sucked gently. He took her hand into his as she continued to play with each nipple. He raised her hand up and held it tight into his. Then kissed her hand before he took each finger and sucked on it running his tongue over each fingertip. She looked up at him and smiled. Then she moved lower. Kissing his hot sweaty flesh, he moaned as she unbuttoned each button releasing him from his jeans. She ran her tongue over his hardness. She kissed his navel area before removing his jeans completely. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her lips. He rolled her over to where he was on top again. He ran his fingers down her body and slowly slipped inside her. Pumping gently first, she whispered, "Harder."

Jarod looked into her blue eyes and quickly moved faster and harder. She let a moan as he began to kiss her again. She dug her nails into his skin. Her body raised to met his.

"Moan again." he requested softly.

She looked at him and asked why.

"I like it. I like your little moans."

"Well, you'll have to work for it."

Jarod grinned. "I can do that."

He rubded her clit again softly with his fingertips as he continued to move on her. He kissed her neck before kissing her moist lips. She ran her hands over his body as she nibbled on his ear. He looked, wanting to see her eyes, but she had them closed. He wanted her to moan again. He knew she was close to moaning but he had to get her there one more time. He moved to her nipple and began to tease it again with his teeth grazing over it. He licked it before taking it into his mouth. He began to suck gently as she dug her nails into his shoulder harder.

"Moan," he whispered.

She wanted to desperately, but didn't want to give into him. "You haven't got me there yet." she answered back.

Jarod knew she wasn't going to give into him so he continued to play with her breast. He looked up at and could tell she was holding it in. Jarod moved lower and teased her further. She couldn't take it any more. She let out the moan he had been waiting for. Jarod grinned triumphantly. He knew he had her once again. He moved back to her lips and gave her one last kiss before laying beside her in the bed. She curled up beside him and said, "I love you."

"I love you too." he yawned.

"You mean I wore you out that bad?"

"Yes, you did." he answered. "But that is okay. I like it when you do."

He wrapped his arms around her. She laid her head down on his chest and they fell asleep.

********

The next morning, Parker woke to the same position as when she had fallen asleep. She raised up and kissed Jarod's lips.

"Good morning," he said as he opened his eyes to her kiss.

"Good morning," she answered back. She climbed out of the bed.

"Where are you going?"

"To take a bath. Are you coming?"

He jumped out of the bed and followed her. She didn't have to ask twice. She ran the bath water as Jarod poured in the bubble bath. She looked at him funny. "I thought you might like some bubbles."

"Are you sure I might be the one who likes them?" she asked, the amusement evident in her voice.

Jarod shrugged noncommittally and slid into the water.

"Come on," he said like a little boy waiting for his bath time.

"I'll be there in a minute," she promised, getting out a wash cloth and two towels.

She walked over to the tub and, facing him, sat down in his lap. She gazed into his brown eyes and kissed him. Jarod took the wash cloth in his hand and wet it. He ran it over her breast and watched her nipples get hard.

"Let me give you a bath," he said softly.

Jarod picked up the soap and lathered up the cloth. He ran it over her breasts and down her stomach to her innter thigh. He moved the cloth back and forth between her legs, then leaned closer to her and kissed her.

"Jarod."

"What?"

"I think you are supposed to wash more than that," she said as she kissed his neck.

"Oh yeah. I was getting to the important parts first," he answered with a mock seriousness. "Turn around."

She turned her back to him and he washed her back. Then his hands wandered to her breast again.

"Jarod."

"What?"

"What are you doing?"

The cloth moved in lazy circles across her sensitive skin.

"I thought I might have missed a spot."

"Oh." She turned back around. "Give me the wash cloth."

Jarod handed to her hoping it was his turn, but she washed her arms and legs. Jarod looked at her with disappointment. "You will get your turn." she assured him as she saw his face.

He perked up and quickly helped her rinse off.

"My turn. My turn," he chanted like a little boy.

"Gee, Jarod. Who doesn't have the patience now?"

"I'm sorry, but it is my turn."

"You are worse than our children." She took the soap and wash cloth, lathered it up and ran it down his neck to his chest. "Don't stop there. Keep going," he whispered.

She kissed his lips. "Who is doing this?"

"Okay. I forgot, but hurry."

She washed his arms and began to move further south. She wash his legs. She could see the disappointment in his eyes. She loved to torture him.

"Turn around," she whispered in his ear.

"You are not through washing me in the front yet."

"Turn around," she said sternly. It was like speaking to one of their children. He turned around while she washed his back, her hands then moved to his chest. She wrapped her arms around him.

"Well, that's it," she said brightly. "Bath time is over."

"Honey, don't do this to me."

"Just kidding. Turn back around."

He turned around and she finished washing him. "Are you happy now?"

"I think you missed a spot."

"Where?"

"Right here," he said as he took her hand and placed it on his balls.

"No, I believe I got that spot."

"Well, maybe it was this one," he coaxed, moving her hand up a little.

"Well, I could have missed that one." she said smiling. She kissed his lips again and rinsed him off.

"Bath time is over."

"Does it have to be?" he asked kissing her again.

"Yeah." she said pulling the plug. As he watched the water leave the tub. She took his hand and stepped out of the tub. Picking up the towel, she began to dry off.

"Let me help you with that," he offered, taking the towel from her hand. He began drying her at a legisurely pace.

"Jarod."

"Yes?"

"This could go by faster if you let me dry myself off."

"That's no fun," he admonished, kissing her neck again. He took her into his arms and they fell to the floor.

********

Later in the afternoon Sydney drove the kids home. Parker and Jarod spent the rest of the weekend with their family, before returning to work.

The End!
