Still Burning

Carr felt small hands on his cheek. He wrinkled his nose when he felt the small fingers near his nostrils.

"Daddy," Connor whispered. Carr smiled and Connor placed his warm hands on his lips. "Daddy, wake. I play."

He slowly opened his eyes, drinking in the sight of his son on top of a sleeping Jessica. She was right, his head was rested on her breasts and he looked very comfortable.

"Daddy-"

"Shh, Jess is sleeping." Jessica smiled and Carr let out a laugh. "Does sleeping beauty need to be woken up with a kiss?" Connor sat up, causing Jessica to bite back her groan. All his weight was on her stomach.

"Daddy, I prince," Connor said determined. He quickly leaned down, placed his hands on her cheeks and kissed her lips. Jessica opened her eyes and laughed. "I did it!"

"Thank you so much!" Connor giggled before getting off the bed. Carr stayed still for a few seconds, perking his ear up. He only relaxed when he heard the rattling of toys.

Carr looked at Jessica who was smiling at him. "Morning, beautiful," he whispered. His hands squeezed her hips as he pulled her closer. "I really could get used to this. Waking up to you and Connor is something I want to see everyday."

Jessica laughed softly as she slowly crawled on top of him. She felt his hands run down her back and finally settling on her butt. Carr heard her groan softly and quickly pulled her in for a kiss. "As much as I want to, we need to feed Connor," she said as she pulled away. He kissed her slowly, pushing her flat against him. "Simon-"

"I love you," he whispered as he kissed down her neck. She closed her eyes, melting into him. "Come on, let me make you something to eat."

Jessica felt Carr's arm tighten around her. She looked up from her phone to find him intently watching a video on his phone. With a smile, she turned to Connor who was building something with legos. Jessica trying to get out of Carr's hold stopped him from watching the video. His gaze settled on her and with a frown, he tightened his arms around her.

"No," he said. "Stay with me."

"You're on your phone. I'm gonna play with Connor." Carr leaned down to kiss her but she pulled back. "Stop being jealous of a two year old."

"But you've been playing with him all day," he said with a frown.

"Maybe if you got off your phone for a second then we could have spent some time together."

Connor waddled over to Jessica with a giggle. "Jessie, we play?" Jessica glanced over at the frown on Carr's face. He wasn't looking at any of them but down at his phone. He then cleared his throat before getting up. Jessica wanted to call after him but Connor giggled again, jumping up.

"Okay, so you going to tell me what you're building?" she asked looking at the stack of legos he had.

After ten minutes of playing with lego, Carr walked in with a small smile. He sat down on the floor, placing his phone in Jessica's palm.

"Hold it for me."

"You can put it down-"

"No. Connor and you are the most important people in my life now. A phone can wait." Jessica smiled before kissing him. "I want you to hold it for me while I spend some time with you both."

"I meant it as a joke, Si." He shook his head with a smile before kissing her again.

"I do need to stop going on my phone so much." Connor rose up, making his way over to his father. Carr opened his arms up and Connor giggled before running into them. "How can I help you Con?"
