"Jarod, quit trying to flatter me. You already have me where you want me."

"I'm trying to flatter you. I am just telling the truth." he said as he flipped her over to where he was on top. "Besides you look smaller now than you did when we where married."

"I wouldn't say that but I am smaller than I was." she responded. She reaches up to kiss him. He moves on her harder as she ran her nails over his nipple.

"I love you." he says lovingly.

"I love you too." she responded softly. As he started to kiss her again they hear a loud cry. "I'll go this time." she said as Jarod let her up. She puts on a robe and goes down stairs. She goes over to where Sydney is laying and picks her up.

"It's okay." she says as she holds her tight. "You must be hungry." It didn't take long for Sydney to find her mother's breast. She began to nurse. Jarod came down the stairs and found his wife in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" he asked as she was looking through the refrigerator.

"I am trying to find something to drink."

"Let me help you with that." he said as she held Sydney while she ate.

Parker sat down at the table and Jarod brought her over a glass of juice. "Will this work?" he asked.

"That's fine." she answered.

He looks at his daughter nursing. He touched the top of her head. Then he looks up at his wife. Parker says, "Jarod."

"Yeah."

"I want to thank you for last night."

"What, I didn't do anything but take my beautiful wife out to dinner?"

"I know but it meant a lot to me. It was just what I needed too. I don't know how you knew it but you did. Thank you." She kissed his lips.

"You're welcome. But, by the way, I know everything about you."

"Same here." she answered.

"Oh by the way, did you think you had to mark me?" Jarod asked.

"Mark you. What are you talking about?" she answered with a funny look on her face.

"My back." he says.

"What about your back?"

He pulls his shirt off and says, "See. You drew blood last night."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. If you don't want me to hurt you should bring that out in me while we are making love." she responded with a laugh.

"I don't care you dig your nails into me but drawing blood that is a little much, don't you think?" he laughed. Then smiled at her.

"I'll be more careful next time. Besides if I remember right you bit me. I think we are even."

"I guess you are right." he said.

Parker looked down at her daughter. "You are just playing now. Your not eating." she replied as Sydney looked up at her. She wasn't eating but still had a hold of her breast.

Jarod took her from Parker's arms and said, "That's daddy job, not yours."

"Jarod!" Parker replied. She got up went toward the livingroom. It sounded like the other two were stiring around.

"Well, it is." he said as he followed her.

Parker went to check on the one the other two. Debbie started to awaken. "What time is it?" she asked.

"9:00" Parker answered.

"9:00, I better call dad."

"He's already called. I told him I would bring you home when you were ready. Did you sleep okay with all the kids with you?"

"Yeah. Sydney woke once and I gave her a bottle. I hope that was okay."

"Yeah. I had one in there in case she got hungry before we came back. I'm sorry we were late."

"It's okay. I enjoyed staying with them."

"If you are ready I will change into some clothes and take you home. If not let me know and I will take you home later. It's up to you. You know you can stay as long as you want."

"I know but I guess I better go. Dad is probably worried. I may come back later if that is okay."

"Sure. Give me a minute to change I will take you home."

"Honey, bring my wallet back down when you come so I can pay her." Jarod replied as Parker went up the stairs. She put on some clothes and came back down. She handed him his wallet. He pulled out $35. "Here, this ought to cover it." he says as he hands the money to Debbie.

"Are you sure? It is too much." replied Debbie.

"No, you had your hands full with a five year old, one year old, and newborn." Jarod replied.

"I don't know, Jarod. You might ought to give her some more. You know how Kyle can get." Parker replied.

"No, that's plenty. Thanks."

"Are you ready?" Parker asked.

"Yes." Debbie answered. They walked out and Parker drove her home.

"Thanks for the ride." Debbie said as she got out.

"My pleasure. I hope they weren't to bad for you." Parker said.

"They were good."

"Thanks for keeping them."

"No problem. See you later." Debbie said as she shut the door.

Parker waved bye as Broots opened the door for her. Parker left went back home. She find Jarod in the kitchen cooking. Catherine and Kyle dressed and at the table. Sydney was in her swing. "Well, Jarod. I wasn't gone that long. How did you get everyone dressed so quick?"

"Because I'm good." he answered.

"Mommy." Kyle and Catherine both said at the same time.

"What?" she answered.

"Love you." they said at the same time.

She bend down to give them a kiss. Kyle turned his head. "Give me a kiss." she said to Kyle. He shook his head no. "Okay fine." she answered him. She turned back toward Catherine. Then walked over to where Jarod was at. She looked down at the skillet. "I'll have one of those." she said to him.

"Okay." he answered.

Then Catherine said, "Mommy, daddy told us if we were good you would take us to the park today."

"Oh, he did. Did he?" Parker answered while looking over at Jarod.

"Hey, I said we would both go." he quickly responded.

Parker glanced over at him again and grinned. After they finished with breakfast they went to the park for a couple of hours. Returning home, Jarod helped with bathes and turned on a video for the kids. He helped Parker with some things around the house while the kids were busy watching the video. He turned on the radio and listened to the song playing...

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
Still holdin' on, you're still the one

"Honey, listen."

"What?" she answered.

"To this song. It's us."

First time our eyes met-same feelin' I get
Only feel much stronger-wanna love you longer
You still turn the fire on....

"Jarod, it's true."

"What is?"

"You still turn the fire on. I want to love you longer." she answers softly.

So if you're feelin' lonely don't
You're the only one I ever want I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than I should please forgive me
I know not what I do
Please forgive me-if I need you like I do
Please believe me
Every word I say is true
Please forgive me
I can't stop lovin' you

Jarod walks over to her. He places his hands on her face. He looks into her eyes and says, "Would you please forgive me?"

"Jarod, how can I when I am guilty for the same thing? You are my rock."

"I always thought of you being the strong one in our relationship." he answers.

"Well, I guess we are each others rock." she says with a smile.

"I guess so."

As they listened to the rest of the song, Jarod pulled her closer to him and kissed her. "Jarod, I love you." she whispered in his ear.

"I love you too." he answered.

She kissed his neck. Her hands went down his chest. They soon forgot what they were doing. She backed him against the wall and he picked her up.

"Jarod." she said.

He didn't answer. He just kept on kising her. "Oh! Jarod." she said again as his hands moved down her leg to her innerthigh.

"What?" he answered lowly.

"I want you."

He took her right there. As they got more involved in each other, little footsteps came to the door. The door open slightly and he quickly pulled away from his wife zipping his jeans.

"Mommy." Catherine said peaking in.

Parker, catching her breath, said, "What honey?"

"The movie went off. Can we watch another one?"

"Yeah. I right behind you." Parker answered. She left Jarod standing there. He quickly went back to picking up things while Parker put on another video.

"What do you want to watch?" she asked them.

"How about this one?" Catherine said holding up The Goofy Movie.

Parker looked at the hours on the box. "No. How about this one?" she said as she held up The Lion King. It was the longest movie she could find at the moment.

"Mommy, we just watched that the other day."

"Okay, how about this one?" Parker said holding up the Chipmuck Adventure.

"I guess." Catherine said.

Parker put the movie in and went back upstairs. Jarod was waiting for her. "Jarod, we have two hours." she said smiling.

"What took you so long?" he asked as he walked back to her.

"I was looking for the longest movie I could find." she said smiling.

Jarod kissed her lips and said, "Now, where were we?"

"Right here." she said giving him another kiss.

**********

About an hour and fifty minutes later, Jarod helped his wife get dressed. They went down stairs to check on their kids.

"It's going off." Catherine said.

"We're just in time." Jarod whispered to Parker. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled at him.

As the day went on, they finished up the daily chores and got everyone ready for bed. After the kids were put to bed, Jarod laid on the couch watching TV. Parker came down stairs after getting Sydney feed and to bed.

"What are you watching?" she asked.

"Reruns on ER. It is the Thanksgiving one." he answered. She went to the couch and sat down on the edge. Jarod pulled her toward him and said, "Why don't you join me?"

Parker laid beside him on the couch and looked up at him. "Jarod."

"Yeah." he answered.

"Thank you."

"For what?" he asked.

"For getting me out of the depression I was feeling after having Sydney."

"It was nothing. I would do anything for you."

"I know. One more thing."

"What?" he asked.

"Forgive me for loving you so much."

"I can't."

"Why?" she asked.

"Because I love you the same and I can't quit loving you. You are my everything."

"Same here." she whispered. She laid her head down on his chest, running her fingers through his chest hair.

Jarod watching TV, looked up and said, "Wow!" He watched to the woman kissing Dr. Ross.

"What?" she answered.

"Look at her. She's hot." he said without thinking.

Parker looked at him and said, "Oh, what are you trying to tell me, Jarod? Do you think she is better looking than me?"

Jarod realizing what he had said quickly responds, "Oh...No... She has nothing on you, honey." He knew he was in trouble now.

"Well, thats okay. I think George Coolney is fine." she quickly responds.

"Oh, you do. Do you?" he said.

"Yeah, look at him. Those gorgeous eyes. I would love to be her." Parker said smiling.

"Oh." Jarod said.

He didn't say another word. They finished watching ER before calling it a night. When they got in the bed, Parker was almost asleep when Jarod said, "Honey, do you think George Coolney is better looking than me?"

"Jarod, I told you, you are my only love." she answers.

"Yeah." he said. He rolled back over to go to sleep. He thought about what she said. Then said, "Hey, you didn't answer my question."

"What was it again?" she said playing dumb.

"Do you think George Coolney is better looking than me?"

"Oh, that question. No, Jarod. What am I going to have to do to prove that to you?"

He moved closer to her and said, "Let me help you with that." He kissed her lips. Then they settled in for the night.

The End!
