His Dark Angel

18

Jess POV
I can't believe that it has already been a year since Lincoln was born. Zak and I got married last month and we have never been happier. The whole GAC Crew has had a hard time adjusting to Nick being gone, but Aaron, Billy, Jay and Zak, still film an amazing show. Zak has kept his word about not being so aggressive while doing the investigations. We did have a small incident a few months ago, but luckily it was just slamming doors and things moving around the house. Today, we are setting up for Lincoln's first birthday party. "Baby, can you put these balloons on the table with the cake?" I ask Zak, holding out the blue and white balloons. "Sure, but it will cost you a kiss." He says with a smirk. I pull him towards me and kiss him softly. "You know, when you kiss me like that, it leaves me wanting more." He says wiggling his eyebrows. "Well, you're just gonna have to wait until later." I tell him with a smile and kissing him again. Zak walks off to go put the balloons on the table and I head to go get Lincoln dressed.

The party has started and everyone seems to be having a good time. Lincoln has been getting so much attention and he loves it. Zak's mom, keeps sneaking him cookies. My friend Tara and Aaron seem to be hitting it off. I even saw her giving him her number. When she realized  I noticed, I winked at her and then we giggled like school girls. We are all standing around the table watching Lincoln dig into his cake, and Zak comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. "I love you angel." "I love you too. So damn much."

Zak POV
Jess and I are cleaning up from the party while Lincoln takes a nap. "You certainly gave little man a heck of a party." I tell Jess with a smile. "Well you only turn one once." She says drying her hands. "Aaron wants to come back over later with Tara and hang out." I tell her. "That sounds fun. Guess we better get Lincoln up." "I'll get him. You get to the couch and rest a little." Jess smiles and just walks to the couch. I walk into Lincoln's room and he's standing up in his crib. "Did you have a good nap little man? You're Uncle Aaron is coming over soon." I tell him as I pick him up. He smiles up at me as I change his diaper. When I walk back into the living room, Lincoln instantly reaches for his mama. "We're here!" Aaron yells as him and Tara walk in the door. Jess and in both laugh and Lincoln reached for Aaron. "Jess, can I talk to you for a sec?" Tara asks as her and Jess hug. "Come on bro, let's take Lincoln outside." I tell Aaron, and we make our way to the backyard.

Ten minutes later, Jess and Tara walk out, and Aaron and I are play fighting, making Lincoln laugh. "What are you doing?" Tara asks, looking at us like we're crazy. "You better get used to it girl. They do shit like this all the time." Jess says walking up and putting her hands on my chest. "Can you walk around without a shirt all the time?" She whispers to me. "Whatever makes my woman happy." I tell Jess as I lean down to kiss her. We all sit around the table outside, talking and laughing. Lincoln is sitting in Jess' lap, and giving her open mouth kisses, Aaron and Tara are sitting across from us, laughing and holding hands. I reach over and grab Jess' hand, and look around the table. In my dark world of ghost hunting, lockdowns, and everything else, I managed to find all the people that can light up my world. I found my dark angel, who gave me my first son, I have the most amazing friends, and work with the best crew. I would not have my life any other way.

The end.
