Parenthood - (completed)

Part 5

At the end of the shift Jacob went outside and climbed into the car next to Connie.
"Sure you still want to stay over?" she asked him as she started the engine.
"Yeah course, just tell Grace it was late and I'd left my keys in work" he said.
Connie nodded then drove off towards her house.
She pulled up outside then they went into the house.
"Hey, Grace is in bed, she's been great" the childminder said.
Connie thanked her, paid her then showed her out before sitting down on the couch.
"What did you want to talk about before?" She asked Jacob as he sat down next her.

"Oh, it was nothing really" he lied.
"Jacob, what was it?" she asked again.
"I just wanted to say that I'm happy we are doing this, because there is no one I would rather have as the mother of my child" Jacob told her.
Connie smiled and moved closer to him, "well there's no one I would rather have as the father of my child" she said before kissing his cheek.
Jacob looked down at her then placed his hand on the back of her neck and pushed his lips onto hers, kissing her passionately.
He stood up still kissing her then she stood up too before jumping up onto his waist and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Jacob carried Connie upstairs kissing her all the way to her bedroom then he closed the door before putting her down on the bed and climbing on top of her.

Twenty minutes later they were lying side by side catching their breath.
Jacob threw back the covers and started putting his boxers and t-shirt on which confused Connie.
"Oh, I thought you were staying" she said, the disappointment quiet clear in her voice.
"I am Con, but if your daughter walks in and we want her to believe this was completely innocent then wearing clothes might be a start" he explained.
Connie smiled, "good point" she said before getting out of bed and putting on a pair of silk shorts and a vest top.
They got back into bed then Connie rolled over so she wasn't facing Jacob but he moved closer to her, "coming for a cuddle?" he asked her.
She turned to face him and a small smile played on her lips as she moved into his arms and rested her head on his chest.
"Night sweetcheeks" he said before kissing her forehead.
"Night muscles" she replied as she closed her eyes.

Grace bounded in the next morning and looked at them in confusion.
"Mummy! Jacob! Wake up" she shouted as she climbed on the bed.
Connie was still sleeping on Jacob's chest, his arms around her waist and their legs tangled together.
Connie groaned and cuddled into Jacob more, wrapping her arm over him and burying her face in the crook of his neck.
"Connie, wake up. Grace is in here" Jacob said as he looked at Grace smirking at them.
Connie sat up and looked at her daughter, "morning sweetheart" she said.
"Morning, err why is Jacob in your bed? And why were you sleeping like that?" Grace asked.
"I left me keys in work so your mum said I could stay over. We must of just moved in our sleep firecracker" Jacob lied.
"Oh ok, I'm going downstairs to watch TV anyway" she said before skipping out.
Connie nodded and moved closer to Jacob again, "shower?" she asked.
He nodded then got out of bed before scooping her up in his arms and carrying her the bathroom.
