Miss You More (A Joey McIntyre/Jordan Knight Fanfiction)

20

Amber feels better after she and Joe talked. She feels even better after they make love.

Laying there in Joe's arms, feeling more love than she's sure one person deserves. "Joe we should have another baby." She's not sure where it came from. She'd never given much thought to having more kids, but right now at this moment it's what she's thinking. She gets a little nervous when Joe doesn't say anything. "I don't know where that came from Joe. Forget I even said it." She remembers how he reacted when she found out she was pregnant with Joey. He hadn't been too happy. She's sure after everything she put him through the last thing he'd want is more kids with her.

Joe turns over and is looking down at her. "I will not forget you said that. Nothing would make me happier than having another perfect baby with you. Let's do it, let's have a baby. We can start trying right now. You know last time we were making love two or three times a day. I think we should do everything exactly the same way." Joe starts kissing her neck causing her to giggle. "Joe last time we didn't have the kid to take care of, not sure we can still pull off three times a day. Plus you're getting older...you sure you're up for it?" Joe pushes his erection against her core, showing her just how up he is for it.

The next morning Joe watches Amber sleep next to him. He feels more in love with her than when they first fell in love. Thinking about them having another baby makes him want to wake her up and try again. Almost as if she can feel his eyes on her Amber opens her eyes. "Are you watching me sleep Joseph? You know, some people might find that creepy."

Joe brushes her hair off her forehead, "And are you some of those people?"

"Luckily for you, I am not. I find it rather irresistible." Joe kisses her lips and begins to move on top of her when they hear the door open and tiny footsteps coming into the room. "Mommy! Daddy! Good morning."

They start laughing as they pull the covers up over themselves. "Good morning sweet boy. You ready for some breakfast?"

"Yes please." Joe grabs his boxer briefs off the floor and slips them on. "I'll get the kid his breakfast, mommy. Get dressed and join us." Joe sticks his bottom lip out in a sad pout when he says 'get dressed'. He'd hoped to keep her naked a little bit longer this morning. But those plans will have to wait. "Come on kid, let's get you fed. What do you feel like today? How's eggs, bacon and toast sound?" Joey jumps up and down on the bed before Joe gives him a piggyback ride out of the room.

Amber can't believe how lucky she is. It's been a very long time since she felt this good about her future. With Joe and Joey with her, she knows she can't lose.

The scene in the kitchen makes her smile. Joe at the stove, cooking. Joey sitting in his high chair, watching his Daddy. Both of them singing an old New Kids song. Joey knows every word to Step by Step. It surprises her, he's so young, but already seems to love music. It's amazing how much he already takes after Joe. A true miniature version. When they finish the song Amber claps. "Joe I think we should get him into music classes. I'd love for him to play the piano like Jordan and myself. The sooner he starts learning the better he'll be."

"Amber, he has two of the best teachers he could have. You and Jordan should teach him. He'd get a lot more out of it if you guys taught him about music. I know Jordan would love that. It would give him more time with Joey. He's mentioned several times wanting to spend time with him like James and Susan get to."

Amber gives Joe a serious look. "Have you not let him have time with Joey? I mean he is his grandfather too." Joe looks ashamed. "No I guess I haven't. We haven't been in such a great place since you left. He blamed me and that pissed me off. So, yeah, we've had a few issues. We almost came to blows a few times. But we finally came to an agreement, the topic of you was off limits. That helped a lot. We've mended our relationship for the most part now."

"Well that's good. Can't have you two not getting along on tour. I have a great idea, Jordan wants to have time alone with Joey right?"

"Yeah."

"Well we can let him keep him on his tour bus when we need some time alone." Amber wags her eyebrows at him. Joe winks at her, knowing exactly what she's talking about. "Like when we need some baby making time?"

"You really want to do this? Try to have another baby?"

Joe places her plate in front of her. And leans down to kiss her. "One hundred times yes. I want a little baby girl that looks just like you."

Amber smiles at the fact that Joe really wants another baby. "You want a girl huh?"

"Yeah. Don't you want a little girl? That way we have one of each."

"No. I want another boy, then a little girl. I want our daughter to be well protected. Surrounded by all these men that love her and would do anything to keep her safe." Joe's staring at her. He hadn't expected her to say she wanted three kids. He hadn't really thought about having more than just one until last night. Now it's all he can think about. Making babies with his beautiful wife. "You're so amazing Amber. I'm happy having as many kids as you want. Hell I'm one of nine. Let's have another huge McIntyre Horde."

Amber laughs. "That's a few too many. I think three or four will be plenty."

"So we're up to four now? Shit I better get to work before you really do have us up to nine. You coming into the studio today?" Amber begins clearing the dishes as Joe cleans up Joey. "Yeah Bradley and I are working on editing today. I was thinking about bringing Joey with me today. Maybe let him play on the piano while I'm working. See if he has any natural talent. Who knows maybe we've got a little Beethoven."

"You're still working with Brad? How's that been since you broke up with him?" Amber stops doing the dishes and turns to look at Joe. He's not looking at her though. He's looking at his feet. "Yes Joe I'm working with Bradley. He is still one of my producers. And it's been fine. He's been nothing but professional. He's not like Sam. He understands and wants us to be happy."

This makes Joe look at her. He doesn't say anything, he just nods his head and walks out of the room.

Shit, Amber thinks maybe he took that as a jab. She tells herself she really needs to work on keeping her comments to herself.
