Wren's P. O. V.

"Do you guys mind if my family comes and hangs out here for a while? They have five kids and we have a pool. Plus they wanna meet you," I said. The guys were all in the living room playing video games.

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Good because they're on their way," I smiled.

The guys chuckled. I walked over to the couch and sat in Jack's lap. He kissed my neck and wrapped his arms around me. I put my hand in his face and squeezed his cheeks, laughing at the silly faces he made.

I heard the doorbell ring and we all got up from the couch. I went and opened the door to see the nine people that made up my family.

"Oh. My. Gosh!" Nicki yelled. She ran straight in and jumped at Jonah, who luckily caught her. The rest of them came in and took turns hugging me. Tommy surprisingly ran up and hugged me. When I left I remembered him being sad, but he was so shy when I was there.

"This is Jonah, Corbyn, Zach, Daniel, and my boyfriend Jack," I smiled pointing to all of them. They all hugged and introduced themselves.

Kevin took the kids outside and they immediately got in the pool. Except for Nicki, she was too busy taking pictures with the guys. I took Grandma and Naomi into the kitchen to get drinks.

"Thank you for changing everything in such short notice," I said pouring glasses of lemonade.

"Of course, sweetheart. She was closer to you than us."

"I just didn't want you to be upset."

"Are you kidding? We got to fly to L. A. for this. I'm not upset," Naomi laughed.

"Are all of the guys coming to the funeral?" Grandma asked.

"They really want to, but they're performing at the Billboard Music Awards," I sighed.

"Oh, then we understand."

"Yeah." We finished with the drinks and the snacks then took them outside. The guys and Nicki had joined everyone in the pool.

Tommy didn't want to swim. He said that he wanted to sit with me. I gladly picked him up and held him in my lap. I ran my hands through his hair and he soon fell asleep on my chest.

"Someone found a new cuddle buddy," Naomi commented.

"Jack might get jealous," I joked.

"I feel betrayed," Jack said holding his chest.

"I can't help it, he's cuter than you," I shrugged. Everyone laughed.

As the sun started to set, the kids started to get tired. Swimming all day wore them out, but Naomi and Kevin were thankful for it.

"Thank you for having us!" They said to the guys and I.

"You're welcome anytime," Jack smiled.

I was still holding Tommy in my arms when everyone had gathered their stuff.

"Alright buddy, time to go," Kevin said.

"I wanna stay with Wen!" He said, the 'r' not coming out.

"You'll see her tomorrow baby," Naomi said sweetly. He hugged me tightly before letting me set him down. Once they all left Jack and I went to his room to shower.

"You're so cute," Jack said randomly.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You taking care of Tommy," he smiled. "The way you talk to him and how you smile whenever he's talking. Ugh, it's so fucking cute."

"I'm not cute," I shook my head.

"What did you say?" He asked.

"I said I'm not cute," I shrugged.

"Don't you ever say that again Wren. Just look at you, you're so fucking adorable. Like how?" He wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled. "Oh, and your smile. Your cuteness kills me."

"Whatever," I gently slapped his chest.

"You're the cutest girl I've ever seen. Just look at your chubby little cheeks. I could kiss them all day. And your lips, they're just perfect. And your little nose is so cute! And don't even get me started on your body," I laughed at him. "And the sweet sound of your laugh. Better than any song I've ever heard."

"You're just saying that 'cause you're my boyfriend."

"No, seriously I mean it." He pulled me close to him, squeezing my butt. He smirked, "And you have the cutest ass ever."

"Okay, you can stop now."

"Why? I don't ever wanna stop. I could go on for hours and hours-" I cut him off by kissing him.

"I love you."

"I love you more." I kissed him again.

"I'm gonna take a shower and then I have to stay up until I finish that slideshow," I said.

"Okay. I'll be here. All alone in our bed. Just sitting there. Bored-"

"Not tonight Jack," I said patting his chest. I started to walk away but he pulled my wrist back and held me against his chest. He leaned in and kissed me, pulling my lip back with his teeth.

"Now you can go," he said. I laughed and went into the bathroom.

When I walked out in my towel Jack was sitting on the bed scrolling through instagram. I grabbed one of Jack's shirts and some underwear and got dressed.

"Damn," Jack muttered. I saw him staring at me and laughed.

"Like what you see?"

"I love what I see."

"Good." I grabbed my laptop and sat next to Jack on the bed, continuing my work.

Jack moved behind me and started rubbing my shoulders. He slid his hands under my shirt and rubbed my back and shoulders. He kissed the back if my neck and across both shoulders.

"J-jack, you can't distract me," I said. He didn't listen, he continued kissing me, biting me in a few places. I said his name again, but he kept going.

I turned to the side and pulled his face close to mine. Our lips grazed each other until Jack pushed his lips onto mine. They fit together so perfectly, it was hard for me to pull away.

"I need to focus," I said our faces still only inches apart.

"I know, I'm sorry. I just can't help it," he smiled. I pecked his lips before turning back to my laptop.

I leaned back against Jack's chest. He wrapped one arm around me, resting his hand on my stomach. He had out on some movie but I wasn't paying attention.

                                   ***

"Finally done," I said. I saved the video and closed my laptop, putting it on the floor.

I looked at Jack and saw he was passed out. I smiled at how cute he looked before turning the tv and the lights off. I pulled the blanket over both of us and snuggled into Jack. He absentmindedly wrapped his arms around me. I kissed his neck and soon fell asleep.
