I was sorry that Brenda and I didn't get all the time together that we wanted. I knew that it couldn't be helped, we both had obligations that we had to attend to, but I hadn't wanted that anymore. I hated it when we both had to work and we were apart, but I knew that we were lucky it was only a few weeks. I don't think we would have been able to stand much longer

We drove to the beach and I had a good time laughing with Joe and smiling at the thought of us having our little date. It wasn't long before we arrived and I hopped out of the car and let Joe get the basket while I found a perfect spot for us to eat. I didn't have to search long and soon Joe sat the basket down where I directed with and oof like it was heavy. I rolled my eyes while I opened it up and pulled out the blanket. "It is not that heavy. Maybe you've just gotten weak," I said with a little smirk as I unfolded it and laid it out for us so we could sit. "Just sit down and relax," I told him as I pulled out all our goodies. "We have a huge cobb salad, some homemade garlic pita chips, some sparkling white grape juice since our baby can't have champagne," I said with a little smile as I pulled out the bottle and two champagne glasses. "We also have a chocolate silk pie for dessert," I said as I pulled out the pie and then the different bottles of salad dressing that I had brought with us
( ... )
"Hey hey hey! I am NOT weak!" I protested, but she just told me to relax and sit down. I plopped down with a huff and watched as Brenda unloaded our whole kitchen from the basket. "Well no wonder!" I gestured to everything laid out on the blanket, but it was in true Brenda style. She wanted everything to be perfect and it did make it more romantic to have real plates, silverware, and glasses instead of just eating out of tupperware or whatever

I really had a problem with getting compliments. I loved the fact that Joe loved the chips but that didn't mean that he had to compliment me on them. It wasn't like they were something complicated that took hours to cook. I felt my face heat up in a blush and I was thankful that Joe moved on from embarrassing me and told me about his day. It really didn't surprise me that he started talking with the crazy homeless guy in the street. He was such a sucker for conspiracy theories that stopping to talk with other people that liked them was a common occurrence for us. I ate some salad and smiled at him as he told me about when he had to walk away from the guy

I giggled and nodded my head. "Or like his papa, if his papa ever gets to full ninja status," I smiled as I cut myself a piece of pie while Joe ignored what I had just said. I got my fork and took a big bite as Joe started telling me about what a good mom I was going to be. I hoped that I would be a great mom. Sometimes I doubted that I could be a great mom but I think that that was just a natural fear that came long with being a first time parent. "I hope he loves me that much. I always want him to know that I'll take care of him and love him and be there for him no matter what," I said softly as I thought about how much I loved him already. "But he's going to love you more. You'll be his hero and the one that flies him around the house and teaches him how to throw a ball and ride on Xavier's back around the house," I smiled as I thought about them laughing together while they had fun. "He'll always think you're the best Daddy in the world," I said as I snuggled closer to Joe and leaned against him as I finished my dessert.
Before I got a chance to tell her that Jackson would know all of those things, she said that he would love me even more. I didn't know about that, but I really did hope that I would be his hero. I wanted our son to look up to me and I just wanted him to think I was awesome. I wanted to have that kind of relationship with my son because that was something I missed out on growing up, and I wanted him to have everything. I tipped Brenda's hat off and kissed the top of her head. "That's what I really want, sweetie," I told her softly. I smiled when she told me I would have it and it warmed my heart, the faith Brenda had in me. I picked her up over my leg and brought her into my lap, happy I could still do things like that. Then I hooked my chin over her shoulder and looked out at the waves with her. The glimmers of the sunset were just starting to form and I sighed as I held her in my arms. "I've got everything I need right here," I told her with my breath coming out softly over her cheek.
"Well that's what you'll get baby," I smiled at him as he kissed the top of my head. I knew that our son would think Joe was the best thing ever and that was fine with me because he really was the best thing ever. Joe picked me up and moved me to his lap and I settled against him as he wrapped his arms around my middle, settling his hands against my bump in a not that obviously way. It was so beautiful at sunset and this was one of my favorite times of day. "I've got everything I need too. We're going to have a perfect little family, honey. Nothing could be much better," I smiled as I lifted one of his hands and kissed the back of it softly. "I love you very much, Joe," I said as I nuzzled the side of his neck gently.
My chest warmed up when Brenda kissed the back of my hand. She was so adorable and she was all mine. A smile spread over my face as she told me that she loved me and snuggled into me. This was what mattered the most. Simple moments like these, just getting to be together and love one another. Of course I loved going on trips, and going out, and don't even get me started on the sex, but this... this right here was my favorite, just having her. "I love you too, sweetheart," I returned softly before leaning down to give her a kiss. I felt like my heart was waking up when she kissed me back and I gave her a couple more kisses before I pulled back and rested my head against hers. "You're all mine, babygirl," I whispered as I held her close by her belly. I'd done that. That was my son in there and she was the beautiful woman who was going to give him to me. I kissed softly down her neck until I got to her pulse point and nipped at it gently. "All mine."
