Hello Readers: Before we begin, I want to say that this chapter is a new version of Chapter 5 of this pre-existing story. However, I decided that I wanted to make it longer because of how short it is. Hopefully, you guys enjoy this new version of the chapter. And, if it brings up any more ideas which I can add in; then, maybe I shall do just that. I'm not entire sure yet, but we shall see. Thanks again for reading, and I hope that you enjoy this new version of the chapter which I hope to write for you guys. Thanks again.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Halstead Condo, Casey HQ, Honolulu – To say that Jay felt horrible as he walked around his and Alex's home this morning shortly after getting home from the beach was an understatement, especially after how he made Alex feel. Well, how the food made her feel; though, he was the one who made their breakfast, so he definitely shared the blame when it came to the reason why Alex was feeling the way she was at the moment. And while he wishes there was a better reason why she ran away from him (and the beach), such as her wanting to get home as fast as they could so that they could get back in bed with each other, he couldn't say that due to the fact that she didn't run home for that reason. Rather, she ran home because of his stupidity in planning the romantic surprise he had for his gorgeous wife. Why he thought that having breakfast on the beach was a good idea when is his wife is pregnant?

He has no idea why he thought that way, as it ended up as bad as it could possibly end: with her throwing up all over his shirt while they were walking down the beach, hand-in-hand with their fingers intertwined. And while in hindsight, he should've expected this to happen as he left the butter longer than he should have; he just wished that she hadn't ran away after it happened, though that's precisely what Alex did. She ran away ahead of him, right into the offices and up to their condo where she was currently in the shower; no doubt trying to hide from him because of how embarrassed she probably felt at the moment over how she threw up over him. Though, in reality, she had no reason to hide, nor did she need to feel embarrassed over what she did. If anything, she should be mad at him for what he did to her as it was a stupid move. And that was precisely what he planned on telling his wife.

But first, he had to get in the shower with her; that way, he could talk to her and make her feel better, which is no doubt what she needs him to do right now: join her in the shower, so that he can make her feel better ahead of them taking it easy for the rest of the day. After all, that's what they're going to do, as it's what they need to do: take it easy. And as they take it easy with each other, Jay is going to hold Alex in bed, as they breathe. As he just said, it's what they need to do today, and it's what they're going to do today. Though, if Alex doesn't want to do it, then he's going to persuade her to do so for the sake of their children...just like he hopes to persuade her to let him join her in the shower this morning. Though, that was already proving harder than he thought it was going to be due to the fact that she locked the door to their primary suite bathroom; the door through which he heard her crying.

And as he heard Alex cry this morning, Jay could truly feel his heart break due to the fact that it was the last thing he wanted to hear when it was his fault that she was crying in the first place; and since the door is locked, there's nothing he can do about it. That was, until Alex let him in (literally and emotionally). "Alex, baby. Open the door for me. Open up Alex, let me in so that I can take care of you." Jay said, hoping that his wife would do just that for him; but rather than do so, she yelled in frustration: "WHY? SO THAT I CAN DO IT AGAIN? SO THAT I CAN THROUGH UP ALL OVER YOU AGAIN? NO THANKS!" Hearing and sensing the frustration she was dealing with at the moment, Jay teared up a bit as that wasn't how he wanted her to be feeling at the moment. Rather, he wanted her to just take it easy and breathe; both for her sake, but for the sake of their children as well. "Alex, I forgave you already. You know that."

Taking a breath, Jay decided to let what he said sink in prior to continuing what he needed to tell his wife. "I'll always forgive you, babe. You're my world, and I love you more than anything Alex. So, please Alex, you need to open the door so that I can hold you in my arms and make you feel better; just like I want to do, babe. Alex, I'll take the risk of you throwing up all over me again, because I love you and want to wash you. If anything, I want you to throw up on me again, as it means that I get to take another sexy shower with you." Jay said, hoping that him making his wife laugh a bit would convince her to open the door. And luckily for him, that was precisely what happened. Him making her laugh made her feel okay with opening the door, which led to Jay smiling at her because of how beautiful she is. "There's my beautiful wife." Jay said, as he stepped into the bathroom in his robe this morning.

After which, he got nice and close to Alex and smirked; only to wrap his arms around her waist as he held his wife close to him, while she placed her hands on his arms and looked up at him. "I'm really sorry Jay, I never meant to throw up on you." Jay nodded, as he knew that. He knew that she never meant to throw up on him, which is why he forgave her already. "Alex, I know that already. That's why I forgave you." Nodding, Alex sighed as she wrapped her arms around Jay's muscular torso, dropping her towel in the process; while Jay wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips to her forehead. While doing so, Jay smirked as he loved the feeling of his wife's sexy, naked body against his; regardless of the fact that his robe was still separating them this morning. "What are you smirking at? I'm a mess Jay. A pregnant, hot mess." Jay shook his head, as that wasn't what he saw when he looked at his wife.

Rather, what he saw was the most beautiful woman in the entire world: the woman he loves and can't wait to raise a family with as soon as she gives birth to their twins. "Though, you can't blame yourself Alex; this is on me, all of it." Alex sighed as she turned around to check on the shower, while continuing to speak to her husband as she was confused. After all, how could this be on him? "And how exactly can this be on you? Last time I checked, I was the one that threw up all over you." Jay agreed, prior to adding on. "Yes, but I was the one that made the breakfast which you threw up. I was the one that made the food that didn't sit well with you, which is why I take some of the blame, babe." Walking over to his gorgeous wife at the shower, Jay smiled as she was beautiful. "I put the butter on the croissants, not you. So, this is on me." Alex agreed with Jay as he told her that, prior to getting close to him.

Meanwhile, Jay wrapped his arms around his beautiful wife and smiled because of how happy he is with the love of his life. "I love you Alex, you know that. And nothing you'll ever do will change the fact that I love you more than anything. You're my wife, and that'll never change, babe." Jay then moved his hands to her stomach and smiled as he stroked it with his thumbs. "And I'm going to love these little ones the moment they're born." Alex agreed as she placed her hands on his and smiled. "God, you're making me want you." Jay agreed with Alex and smiled as he pulled away, only to turn around and walk over to the counter. After which, he set a fresh pair of lingerie (for Alex) and a new pair of boxers (for him) on the counter. That way, they had clothes ready and waiting for them when they got out of the shower. "There, now we have clothes waiting for us when we're done in the shower."

Looking at Jay when he said that, Alex smiled as he made his way back over to her in his robe. After which, he wrapped his arms around her and smirked as he placed his hands on her butt; all the while, Alex reached into his bathrobe and placed her hands on his toned chest. "God, you're such a hunk." Smiling as Alex told him that, Jay agreed as he leaned in and started to take things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, only to move his hand to the side of her face to ensure that she didn't go anywhere. And since he didn't want her to go anywhere, he soon bent down and picked her up in his arms; only to wrap her legs around his waist as he turned around and carried her over to their bathroom counter. Setting her down on the edge of it, Jay smirked as he stepped close to his wife and placed his hands on her body. Meanwhile, Alex placed her hands on his face as she took things slow with him.

And as she did so, Alex started to relax as she felt at peace with the fact that Jay forgave her; while he moved his hands to the insides of her thighs and started to touch her this morning, in a way which really turned her on. "Oh baby!" Alex moaned as she pulled away from their kiss, leaving her neck open to Jay kissing it; which he started doing the moment she pulled her lips away from his as he wanted to make her happy. And let's just say that was just another reason for Alex to moan, which she soon did as she moved one of her hands to the back of his head, while placing her other hand on his toned chest. "Oh, Jay." Smirking as he moved his hands to Alex's back, Jay continued to suck on her neck this morning as he knew that it was what she wanted. She wanted him to please her this way, so he did just that. However, he also knew that the water was running, which meant that they needed to get in.

After all, the last thing he wanted to get into a cold shower. So, as he grabbed Alex's legs this morning, he tugged his gorgeous wife's body against his chest once more and smirked as he wrapped her legs around his waist. "Listen, we can't keep you here on the counter for long when the shower is nice and warm. The last thing I want is for us to get in a cold shower, so we need to get in." Nodding, Alex agreed as she wrapped her arms around Jay's neck and smiled as he picked her up in his arms; only to feel him wrap his arm around her back as he turned around and carried her towards the shower, where he has every intention of enjoying her this morning.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

The feeling of Jay's strong hands on her back as he held her in the air was everything Alex wanted, especially since she couldn't be held the way she normally likes to be held by her husband in the shower anymore: with her back against the wall, as he pushes his body against hers. God, the way that made her feel was always so sexy, and it really turned her on; he turned her on, as he gave her all of the love and attention she's ever wanted from her husband, the love of her life. And that was precisely what she was getting right now, as her husband showed her just how much he loves her as he held her in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. Meanwhile, she moved one of her hands to the back of his head and ran her fingers through his hair, all the while rubbing his chest and taking things nice and slow with the man she loves. The man she plans on washing as well, just as soon as she can get the soap.

And since she wants to start right now, she decided to ask Jay if he can get it for her. "Jay, I want to wash you; but, I need the soap to do that." Nodding, Jay agreed as he moved his lips to her neck to suck on it, while also reaching for the soap to give it to her. "There you go. You still okay with this?" Putting some soap on her hands, Alex placed her hands on the top of his chest and moaned; after all, she was more than okay with him taking things nice and slow with her as he was, as this is very sexy. Got the way he's taking things nice and slow with her is truly incredible, as it's precisely what she wants. She wants to take things nice and slow with her man, which is precisely why she turned her head and started to kiss him as she wrapped her arm around his neck. "Yes, I want to keep going this. I'm okay. I promise. Just kiss me right now." Jay agreed as he did just that, kissing his gorgeous, pregnant wife.

And while he wanted to kiss her neck right now, he decided that he may as well just kiss her lips; after all, he could just tell that was what Alex wanted him to do at the moment: kiss her lips as they took a very sexy shower with each other. That was, until he felt like there was no way he couldn't kiss her neck. So, he did just that. He bent down and kissed her neck, only to suck on it; which was truly paradise to Alex. "Oh, baby. God, I am going to miss this when I get further along than I already am." Shaking his head, Jay smiled as he turned his head. "I promise, we'll always figure a way to do this." Alex nodded as she placed her hand on his chest once more, prior to leaning her forehead against his as she took things nice and slow with the man she loves. "Good, just not as often. After all, our kids are going to need us." Jay agreed with his wife and smiled. "I want daughters first, if that's okay." Alex nodded.

After all, she just had a feeling that was going to be the case. "I had a feeling you were going to say that." Jay agreed with Alex and smirked as he went to flirt with her. "Well, can you blame me? My wife is hot. She's so damn sexy, and I love her more than anything. I want to have kids who look just like her first." Alex agreed with Jay when he said that, smiling as she ran her hands down his chest. "Good, because I think that they'll be easier than sons." Jay just looked at his wife when she said that. "Girls with you as a mother will be easier than sons? Yeah, okay." Alex then looked at her husband. "What does that mean?" Jay glared at his wife. "You never let me drive when we were cops. It was only when we got the GMC that you let me drive." Nodding, Alex agreed as she knew that was the truth. "I know, but you liked me being bossy." Jay shook his head. "I was just scared." Alex looked at her husband, shocked.

After all, he was scared of her? "You were scared of me?" Jay sighed. "No, I was scared of our superior." Placing her hand on the side of Jay's face, Alex nodded as she leaned in and took things nice and slow with the man she loves. "I mean, he is your father. Do you really think he would ever take my side in any arguments that we may have? Scratch that, I know he wouldn't, because he never did in the past. And now that we're married, he always takes your side." Alex agreed with Jay, well aware that was the case. "What do you expect? I'm his daughter." Jay agreed with Alex and smiled, well aware that she was Hank's daughter. "Listen, can we stop talking about him, though? I would rather just concentrate on you as we enjoy ourselves here in the shower, before we go relax." Alex agreed, more than ready to do just that. So, she kissed Jay once more and smiled as they took things nice and slow with each other today.
