<Three Months Later>

[Third Person]

"You hungry baby girl?" Leeanne asks her now six month old daughter who kept reaching for her bottle that was currently being fixed. She couldn't help the giggle that left her lips as her hazel brown eyed daughter stares up at her waiting for the bottle.

It's been three very interesting months between Justin and Leeanne.

Just like she hoped, he's been working hard to get her back. He's done everything. They've been out on dates. They've been hanging out. But absolutely...

No sex.

Not even a touch. Justi gives her space and he respects it.

He's enjoying his family. And he's continuing to work for them.

As Leeanne fed her baby girl, there was a knock on the door.

"Now who is this huh?" She asks Amelia.

They walk to the door and Lee looks out to see Justin standing there.

"Guess who's at the door?" She says to Amelia before opening it.

As soon as Justin appears, he smiles wide at his beautiful baby girl.

"Hi daddy's baby." He coos as she reaches for him.

"Hi." Leeanne says as he pecks her cheek.

"Hi." He says back before walking in.

They all walk into the kitchen, Justin sitting Amelia on the counter.

"I think daddy interrupted feeding time huh?" Justin coos at Amelia who just stares at him with a small smile on her face.

"So... How was your day?" Leeanne asks.

"It was okay I guess." He sighs pinching his daughters cheeks.

"What's the matter?" Leeanne asks walking beside him. He turns to face her, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Nothing. I'm fine. Just... A little tired." He says kissing her temple.

Soon their baby girl was asleep and they were on the couch watching a movie. Leeanne sat on the far end side of the couch as Justin sat a few inches from her. Suddenly she feels his hand tap her hip.

"Come here." He asks.

She bites her lip, sliding over just a little. He chuckles a little.

"Are you afraid of me or something?" He asks.

She shakes her head no but that was a lie. She was a little scared to be next to him. And he knew that.

"Baby I'm not going to hurt you. Come closer." He coos. He grasps her hand, gently pulling her to him. He wraps his cover around her shoulders kissing her temple.

"Better?" He asks.

"A little." She admits. She missed being in his arms. But it's kind of hard to sit here for a while.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"I-I... N-nothing." She stammers.

"No. Tell me."

She raises up, looking down from him.

"Baby?"

"I-it's hard." She says.

"What is?"

"Laying here in your arms." She mumbles.

"Oh." He mumbles. "I-I'm sorry. I-"
