Daddy's Back, and Ready to Relax - Part Two

14 1 0
By OneChicagobyA

He only left his shirt on for a little while (until they were done on the phone), because he wanted to do something else with his wife now; and while they do still need to relax, that didn't mean that he wasn't going to take it easy with his beautiful wife. The woman that he loves more than anything in the entire world, and the woman that he's crazy about. He just wants to hold her close, and he wants to make her feel beautiful; not that she doesn't already know that she's beautiful, as he tells her that all the time. But still, he was going to kiss her if that's what she wants him to do right now; as she's not the only one that wants to share a sweet kiss with their spouse, as they hold each other in their hospital bed. Walking over to his bag that he has on the couch, Jay smiled as he looked at Max (who was laying down on his bed right next to it); bending down afterwards, Jay smiled as he scratched his head. "You just stay here okay boy? Right now, mommy and daddy want to spend a bit of time with each other." Alex laughed as she heard Jay say that.

"I think we both know what you really mean by that, and that's that daddy wants some sweet kisses from mommy." Turning around to look at his beautiful wife as she said that, Jay smirked because they both knew that he wasn't the only one that felt that way; and that was something that he wasn't going to let Alex deny. "Oh, because you don't want to cuddle up to this and share a sweet kiss with me right now?" Alex smiled as she heard Jay say that, as that most definitely was the case; she wants to hold the man she loves, and just cuddle up to him as he kisses her softly. I mean, what's better than the two of them cuddling up to each other; while also sharing a sweet kiss in bed? And even better, it's for the first time since they had the kids. And that's something that Alex still can't believe, that this is the first time that they're holding each other in bed; with her not being pregnant with the twins, and that they're going to do that for a while. And that's because, unlike Gabby, Alex wants to spread out their pregnancies; which is something Jay agreed to.

They want to have distance in between the kids, as they want to make sure that Alex is healthy; and they want to follow the doctor's general recommendations as to how far apart children should be, even though there's no real "right amount of time" in between children. The truth is, the right amount of time is whatever the parents decide; but Jay and Alex are still going to follow the recommendations, as they want to enjoy their married life for a bit. Ever since they got married, they've been pregnant with the twins; and that means that they've never really had time as just husband and wife, and they've just been expecting parents (who are married). And that's not what they want to be for a while, as they need to first get used to being parents; and he's sure that's not going to be too hard, as Jay and Alex have watched Matt and Gabby's twins (Matteo and Noah) for them sometimes. And boy, was that fun; but if Jay and Alex thought that babysitting those kids were fun, then them raising their own children will be even more fun.

Just looking at his beautiful wife as he thought of all of this, Jay couldn't help but think about how much he loves the woman in front of him. "I love you." Looking up at Jay as he said that, Alex was a bit taken aback; after all, she feels like that came out of nowhere. "That came out of nowhere." Jay smiled as he heard Alex say that, before going to grab some of his deodorant; putting some on, Jay smiled due to the fact that he knew that Alex was loving the sight of him shirtless. "It just came out, and I wanted to say it because of how proud I am of you." Alex smiled as she heard Jay tell her that, because she loves that man so damn much. "I swear, I love you so much." Jay agreed with his gorgeous wife as she said that, before (finally) setting down his deodorant so that he can make his way over to Alex in bed; after all, that was where she wanted him to be right now. She wants him to be in bed with her, and he wants to be there too; as it means that he's going to be holding the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world in his arms.

Quietly walking over to their bed this morning, Jay smiled as he walked down his side of the bed; after which, he proceeded to climb into bed with Alex once again. Getting in with her, Jay smiled as he slipped close to her and then closed the covers; at the same time, Alex got close to the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. And let's just say that was exactly what the both of them wanted to do right now, because they want to hold each other close; they want to cuddle up to each other, and just have a bunch of fun with each other. And Jay most definitely knew that, which is why he's currently holding Alex close to him; and moving his hand to her back. After which, Jay leaned in and proceeded to kiss his beautiful wife again. Moving his arm under her head, Jay smiled as he put his hand on her back and stroked it with his thumb. "Hi beautiful." Alex smiled as she heard Jay tell her that, before getting nice and close to the man she loves; after which, she wrapped her arms around his body while cuddling up to her gorgeous husband.

At the same time, Jay pressed his lips to her forehead as they held each other close. "I love you." Alex agreed with Jay as he said that, before turning her head and looking up at him; after which, she smiled at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Turning his head too, Jay smirked as he felt Alex put her hand on his cheek. "I love you too Jay, and I'm happy that we're here." Jay agreed with Alex as she said that, before moving his hand to her back; after which, he ran his hand up and down her back. "Hey, this is where we both need to be right now; and that's because I want to be with both you and our children." Alex agreed with Jay as he told her that, well aware that was the case; and she will always know that's the case. Jay then proceeded to kiss her forehead softly as they both cuddled up to each other and just relaxed in bed together. "How are you feeling right now?" Alex sighed as Jay asked her how she was feeling right now, as she did have a lot on her mind at the moment. "I'm just a bit worried about the kids' future." Jay agreed.

After all, that was something that he was feeling the same way. "I hope you know that you can talk to me about that, as I'm feeling the same way. I want to talk about it, and I want you to open up to me." Alex agreed with Jay as he said that, well aware that was the case; after which, she ran her hand down his chest due to the fact that this really is everything that she wants to do with her loving husband. After all, Jay has always done everything that he could to make her feel safe. And that most definitely is something that he always does. He always makes her feel safe, and she's so proud to call him her husband. "Did I ever tell you that I'm extremely proud to call you my husband?" Jay smiled as he heard Alex tell him that she's proud to call him her husband, as he feels the same way about calling her his wife. "And I hope you know that I feel extremely proud to call you my wife too." Alex smiled as she heard Jay say that. "You're just saying that because you want to keep holding me like this." Jay shook his head when he heard Alex tell him that.

"Hey, that's not the truth; and we both know that's the case Alex, because I am proud of you. You have done such a great job when it comes to how you gave birth to the twins, and it was incredible. Sure, we're both worried right now; but you're so calm, and you're relaxed. And I can't help but wonder if you're doing it for my sake." Alex sighed as she heard Jay say that, before tearing up a bit; after which, Jay proceeded to grab her hand and intertwined their fingers. "Hey, look at me." Alex agreed with Jay as he told her that, before looking up at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world; after which, Jay stroked her hand and bent down to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with his beautiful wife as he kissed her, Jay made sure that she felt better (simply by kissing her). "I want you to breathe for me Alex, and I want you to remember that I'm here for you." Alex agreed with Jay as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I know." Jay smiled as he heard Alex say that, as it was exactly what he wanted to hear her tell him.

After which, he moved her hand to the back of it; kissing the back of her hand shortly afterwards, Jay smiled due to the fact that this is exactly what she wanted to do with his gorgeous wife right now. Turning his head once again, Jay smirked as he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the man she loves more than anything, Alex couldn't help but feel so relaxed right now; especially when they held each other close. "I hope you know that I really appreciate all you've done for me ever since I gave birth." Jay agreed with Alex as she said that, as that's something that she doesn't need to worry about. "Hey, you don't need to appreciate it Alex, because it's something that I will always do for you; and that's because I'm your husband, and I love you more than anything in the entire world." Alex agreed with Jay as he told her that, before laying her head down on his arm. After which, he felt Alex cuddle up to him some more; at the same time, he made sure that she did it easily. "Remember to take it easy Alex."

Alex agreed with Jay as he said that, doing just that for him today; after all, she doesn't want to rip her stitches. "Can I take a nap in your arms?" Jay agreed with Alex as she asked him whether she can take a nap in his arms, as she most definitely can take a nap in his arms. "Of course you can Alex, go right ahead." Alex agreed with Jay when he told her that, before going ahead with falling asleep in his arms; at the same time, Jay moved his hand to Alex's back and stroked it with his thumb as they just held each other close this afternoon. And let's just say that him holding Alex in his arms really helped her sleep, as it calmed her down immediately.
