Love Again II (Jacob Latimore Sequel)

Stand In Front of Me

Jacob

I was awakened abruptly by Morgan. The time read 2:31 A.M. She panted heavily staring to the ceiling. I sat up along with her, obviously there was something wrong. She began to run her hands through her hair, holding onto her stomach as she was looking a bit frightened. The rain against the window sent sweet calm sounds through the room.

"Babe, you alright?" she laid onto my chest, shaking her head no. I instantly wrapped my arms around her.

"Jacob I'm scared. I feel like something bad is bound to happen." I felt her clench tight to me and sob silently.

"Morgan, I don't want you to worry. Whatever happens, happens."

"But thats what I'm afraid of, these types of things always happen to us. I can't do it, anym-more." she cried. By now I didn't know what to say, or do. What would ultimately make things alright? We were slowly adjusting back to the normality of this relationship.

"No, don't say that. My baby is strong, you know we always get through the storm." she nodded closing her eyes, by this time I was holding her like a baby. She laid in my arms and breathed slowly.

"I love you." she spoke finally.

"And I love you." I pecked her lips and felt her respond, kissing me back. We sat together til she fell asleep again. Before we knew it we were wrapped in each other's embrace again.

The morning came and we all were getting ready for what the day was holding in store. Morgan was still a little on the sad side and I respected that. She was just really nervous. The media was probably eating all of this up. I watched her clean Mekai's mouth as he sat in his high chair.

"Hey babe, where you wanna go today?" I asked cleaning up the remainder of our breakfast.

"Anywhere is fine, it doesn't really matter." she smiled looking over to me. I noticed her mood was slowly improving. It made me feel relieved considering the incident this morning.

"Alright. Come on little ones." I joked grabbing them out of the high chairs. Jade on my left hip, and Mekai on my right. Morgan shook her head at the sight and locked the house up as we made it outside.

"Daddy where we go?" Jade inquired looking to me with her big bright eyes. I kissed her cheek and placed her and her brother in the Range.

"Somewhere fun, okay?" she nodded rubbing her eyes. After getting them both in I watched as Morgan stood before the car with a smile. I examined her outfit, she looked comfortable yet sexy.

From the way her fluffy curls blew in the wind, to her short stature. I loved it. I walked over grabbing her hand as I opened the door for her. Her smile glistened as I helped her to get in alright.

"Gotta make sure I'm okay huh?" she asked.

"You're right, anything for you. I swear." we rode away from the gates and onto the street. I wanted us to go and visit the aquarium. It seemed nice, and I haven't been since I was younger.

"Stacy said that Alix is making everything something its not down there."

"If we have to go to court, so be it. Alix has put us through so much, and I'm saying that I'm personally sorry for not seeing that til now."

"Its okay Jacob. Like you said, we'll just go to court if need be. I know what she did, and its just not fair." she spoke tapping her heel as she did so.

"Hey, its okay. When will the book company call?"

"As soon as they find out something in Florida. I'm just so enraged right about now, its some bull." I reached for her hand, rubbing it in mine gently. I didn't want her to be stressed. After a little drive we finally arrived at the Aquarium.
