Don't Dream It's Over

Bound To You

Maura's Point Of View:
One Week later:

Today is Sophia's sixth birthday. Sophia will also be in first grade in about three months. It seems like yesterday she was a little tiny baby. I miss having a little baby in the house. I was finishing wrapping Sophia's gift, when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.
"Jane! Your gonna mess me up." I said. She kissed my cheek and let me go.
"Jane, I need to tell you something." I said tapping the last side of the box.
"What?" She asked
"I want to have another baby." I said and she just stared at me, then a big smile grew on her face.
"Me too." She said
"Oh my god, we're gonna have a baby." I said
"We're gonna have a baby." She said and pulled me into a passionate kiss.
"Momma, we have to go so we are not late." Sophia said and I pulled away from the kiss.
"Okay sweetie, let's go." I said and we drove to the park.

When we got to the park, we went over to the picnic table and we started putting up streamers and a 'happy birthday' banner. Then a big truck drove up.
"The bouncy castle is here." I said. A man walked up, and Jane took care of all the paper work. Within ten minutes the bouncy Castle was set up, and Angela, Frank, Frankie, Tommy, and TJ were here. My father in law started the cooking the burgers, Sophia's friends showed up. Everyone showed up, literally. Angela, Frank, Frankie, Tommy, Frost, Korsak, Cavannugh, TJ, all of Sophia's friends, even a few of me and Jane's friends. As Sophia started opening her presents, I tried to keep the cards with the gifts so we know who gave her what. I was getting really frustrated cause everything was so messy.

After the party was over, I started putting her gifts in the trunk. Jane was helping me put the gifts in the trunk and saw me stressing.
"Can you just take a breath for a second?" She asked
"How are we supposed to write thank you notes, if we can't even keep the gifts with the card?" I asked stressing.
"Maura, stop. We will fix it." She said
"No we won't! That's the whole problem. You've been trying to fix it our marriage, you've been trying to fix me and your so good you're killing yourself just to fix me." I said turning around.
"You don't have to apologize."
"I'm not, that's the point. Im not the same person that I was before and I don't want to apologize and I don't want to be fixed." I said
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa; I'm not the same person that I was before either but that doesn't--"
"It's not working and you know it! You knew before I did." I said feeling the tears swell up in my eyes.
"Okay, can we just go home, and sit down, and talk about this?" She asked
"It's not my home anymore." I said feeling the tears rolling down my cheeks.

Three Weeks Later:

"I've never seen a deal go through this fast." The realtor said
"Yeah, just a fresh start you know?" I asked
"Yeah." She replied smiling. I was standing on the side walk staring at my new house. Well it's not really new to me, it is the house I used to live in before my parents disowned me and took away my trust fund. I finally gained enough money to afford the place and thought it was perfect.
"Shall we go inside and sign the papers?" She asked
"Yes." I replied following her into the house. When I got inside, Jane was walking around.
"Sweetie, let's sign the papers." I said
"Okay." She said and sat next to me. I grabbed the pen and was about to sign when Jane stopped me.

"Wait. I know your excited you haven't stop smiling and I miss that smile, but three weeks ago you were convinced we weren't gonna last. I'm afraid that you like how it feels now and you forgot that I come with the house." Jane said
"You know why I smile when I look at that house? When I look at that house, I don't see the bedroom that you would wake up in with Charles Hoyt nightmares afraid he was gonna kill you. I don't see the place where we had to deal with the loss of our son. I see a tree house, and a tire swing, and we might wake up in a year and realize it was a big mistake." I said
"A new start." She said
"A new start." I repeated and she leaned in a kissed me.
"Kissing the bride isn't gonna sign the papers." The realtor joked. We did all the paper work, then headed back to the apartment and started packing.n

When we got the keys to our new start, we started bringing boxes one by one in the house.
"The movers will be here any minute, and so will Frost, Frankie, and Tommy." Jane said
"Okay." I replied. When Frankie, Tommy, Frost and the movers got here they helped moved out furniture in. They put all of the furniture in the correct except for Sophia's room. Since Sophia isn't really excited about the move, we decided we would paint her room pink since that seems to be her favorite color. While Jane and the guys painted the room, I picked up Sophia and took her to get some ice cream.

When Sophia finished he ice cream, we headed to our new home. When we got to the house, Sophia ran in and gave everyone a hug.
"We are gonna go. Have fun you guys." Everyone said and left.
"I have a surprise for you." Jane said
"What?" Sophia asked
"Follow me." Jane said walking down the hall. When we reached the bedroom not across from Jane and mine, but next to our's. Jane opened the door and revealed Sophia's new bedroom. The walls were light pink, a pink fury rug in the middle of the floor, on the wall next to the closet, there was a white closet, on the wall across from the closet, there was a window with light pink curtains, on the wall to the left, there was a white dresser, on top of the dresser was a TV and blue-Ray player, and white shelve with some books and movies, next to the dresser was a little white toy chest with her favorite toys, and on the other wall, there was a white night stand next to a white bed that had Hello Kitty bedsheets. Sophia was really into Hello Kitty.

Sophia walked into her room breath taken.
"Thank you mamma's!" She said as she pulled us into a group hug.
"Do you like it?" I asked
"I love it!" She jumping in place.
"I'm glad." I said. She immediately went over to the toy box and started playing with her toys. Jane and I left the room and went to our's. I closed our door, and pushed Jane on the bed. I straddled her and kissed her passionately.
"I missed that." She said
"I bet I know what else you missed." I whispered in her ear as I kissed down her neck.
"Maura, Sophia is next door." She said
"She is playing. We just have to be quiet." I said as I started to take off her shirt.
"Wait." She said sitting up.
"What's wrong?" I'm asked concerned
"I want to have another baby." She said. I got off her lap, and sat next to her.
"You do?" I asked
"I do. Oh god, and you hate me."
"I want another baby too." I agreed
"We're gonna have another baby."
"We're gonna have another baby."
