It didn't take long for word to spread that Matt was back home and before Jill realized it, she had the entire family at her breakfast table eating a seemingly endless supply of her blueberry waffles. The reunion between the brothers was a happy occasion. Each one understood how difficult Matt's path had been but time and distance were soon bridged and they all fell into their familiar roles.

"Need some help?" Lila asked Jill as she quickly donned an apron trying to fasten it around her swollen belly.

"I'm getting too big, too fast."

"That's just a sign of a healthy baby." Jill tied a knot in the back of Lila's apron and put her to work mixing additional batter.

"Matt looks good and rested."

Jill stifled a giggle as she remarked, "Good, yes. Rested, no."

"Why Jillian Heather Brown! You little vixen."

"I think you better serve those waffles up before the family storms the kitchen." Jill handed her a platter of waffles and bacon.

"Have you told him yet?"

Jill's suspiration said it all. "No. I wasn't sure how to break the news. I wasn't expecting him back so soon. I don't have a plan."

"You will find the words. How about after breakfast, we take Colt and Luke with us for the day? Bam's got a run up the river and he could always use the extra hands. They can keep Jace out of trouble."

**********************************
Lila plopped the platter in front of Matt and bent to whisper in his ear. "I heard you might need additional sustenance from last night."

Matt's cheeks flushed with a bit of color. "Is there any subject that is off limits to you and my wife?"

Bam shook his head. "That's a losing battle there with those two." He popped Lila playfully on the rear. "Sit. Eat. Take a break."

"Gabey, switch places with Lila and see if Jill needs any more help." Bam pulled Lila next to he and Matt.

"It's good to have you back, Matt. The four musketeers reunited again." Lila smiled at Matt and then to Bam clearly clueless to Matt's adoration of her for so long.

"Bam, I thought we could take Colt and Luke with us today to give Jill and Matt some more time alone. I don't think they were expecting all of us this morning."

Matt protested only feebly though. He wouldn't mind having Jill model his gift again. "If you insist, then it's okay with me."

************************************
Matt saw the last of his family out the door overstuffed with waffles as Jill finished rinsing the dishes. He leaned against the door frame and watched her as she stretched to put the last of the platters on the top shelf. He silently admired every curve of her body before making his way to where she stood. He wrapped his arms around her waist and nipped at her neck. "Alone again. What shall we do with this time?"

Jill turned to face Matt. "I can think of several things that need special attention."

"Do tell." He playfully bit at her lip making her snuggle up to him more. Her hand took hold of his as she moved it to her breast.

"This part of me needs attention. They've been woefully neglected." He chuckled at her baby doll voice.

"I see. Well, I will make sure they get plenty of attention." He pulled her shirt over her head as his mouth began trailing slowly down to her bralette. He teased the fabric with his mouth.

Her body reacted immediately to his warm breath. "These beauties will get countless hours of personal attention. Any other parts that need attention."

Jill pressed her hips tightly into Matt. "There is another part of me that's been especially lonely."  She ground her hips into his. "She's been very lonely." Jill knew exactly what she was doing and could see Matt's eyes turn from azure blue to a lustful dark blue. He slipped a hand between her thigh and caressed the space between her jeans anxious to remove those from her.

"Oh, that's going to get very special attention over and over. Baby girl, have I missed anything else that needs to be taken care of today?"

"There is just one other place that has been hungry for you."

Matt's voice became huskier as she continued her slow tease. "Show me what part is that."

Jill deftly unbuckled his belt and unzipped his jeans. She slowly slid down his chest to her knees, pulling his boxers down with her. She quickly worked him into a frenzied state of ecstasy. He groaned with intense pleasure not realizing just how much he missed her perfectly skilled mouth.

*************************************
Jill laid across Matt's chest as they lazily let the hours roll by uninterrupted, both satiated by their lovemaking. "Happy?"

Matt answered, "Blissfully."

"Want to go again?" Jill rubbed his thigh.

"If only I had the stamina. I think you've officially broken me today." He laughed as he rolled on top of her straddling her like a show pony.

"God, I missed you." His head dipped to kiss her forehead fighting the urge to take her again.

"Sooner or later, we are going to have to get out of this bed." Jill toyed with his silvery curls trying to find the courage to tell him her news.

"Do we have too?" He frowned. "I could stay here forever with you."

"You say that now but its getting a little crowded in this bed."

Matt was somewhat perplexed by her comment. "Huh? You got a mouse in your pocket?"

Jill smiled ever so slightly. "It's not exactly a mouse."

"Something bigger than a mouse?"

"Matt, how do you feel about expanding our family?"

The comment glazed over Matt. "We have plenty of time for that later. I have some ideas for expansion at the mill."

Jill interrupted her husband trying to re-focus his attention as she reached up to hold his face in her hands. "Later is now, Mattie."

"What? What are you saying?"

Jill's voice trembled with trepidation. She knew what she was about to tell him might just overwhelm him. "I'm pregnant."

Matt's eyes widen with surprise. "How? When? I don't understand."

"You."

"Me."

"Here."

"The night before you left."

"Hopefully, I don't have to draw you a picture."

Jill wiggled herself out from under her husband's body. Matt sat silent trying to process what he just heard. "Say something! You're beginning to scare me." Jill pushed his chest gently.

Matt's eyes dropped to her sleek stomach and back up to her. "I hope. I hope it's a girl...just like you."
