You placed the groceries on the kitchen island then walked over to move the frozen items like peas, corn and chicken nugget packs, into the freezer.

You took off your cardigan then ran a hand through your hair. You picked up a remote control car and a couple Barbies that were on the floor near the TV and placed them in the toy box. Your three-year-old son and five-year-old daughter were playing before they left to stay with your parents for the weekend.

You walked down the corridor, glancing into every room then reaching your bedroom. You spotted your husband laying on the bed with his legs and hands spread out. You smiled softly then-

"Get your arse in here love," He lifted his head and said gruffly. You raised a brow then grinned, stepping closer to the bed then taking off your flannel to leave on a spaghetti top.

You jumped onto the bed next to him then snuggled into his arms. He pulled you closer then kissed your head as you rubbed his chest softly.

"Did they call today?" You asked him and he frowned.

"No I think they've been busy at the petting zoo," He chuckled, "Did you see the pictures? They look adorable."

You laughed, "Really?"

You sat up then crawled onto James to reach for the bedside table and get his phone but he grabbed your waist and started rubbing his nose on it to tickle you.

You jerked a little and laughed loudly, "Jamie stop that! I want to see the-"

He gripped your arms tightly then pulled you down, pushing you to the side then crawling on top of you.

"You can do that later. The kids are gone so we can have time to ourselves," He licked his lips and you placed a hand on the back of his neck then pulled him to you for a rather passionate make-out session.

You fumbled with his shirt and he was about to pull it over his head but you moved away and sighed.

"I'm hungry Jayyy," You moaned, "Later okay?"

He grumbled then rolled to the side. He scooted over to you and placed his head on you shoulder, hugging you like a teddy bear. You held his arm and played with his hair with your free hand.

"When are you growing your hair?" You asked and he glanced up to you.

"You want me to grow it?"

"Yeah, so I can tug it better," You bit your lip and smirked, making him laugh and hold you tighter.

"Alright then my sweetheart, longer hair it is," He rubbed his cheeks and chin, "What about this fuzz?"

"No! Leave it like that."

Silence fell upon the two of you. You lay there together, feeling calm and at peace. "Isn't it too quiet?" You sighed and he frowned.

"I miss them," James mumbled and you kissed his head, "[y/s/n] would come running here asking for ice cream while [y/d/n] would be begging for jelly beans."

You chuckled, then felt completely sad all of a sudden. "And they'd jump on top of us right now, squeezing themselves between us," You added and he smiled.

"Do you remember that night when we had come back from one of my premier's? They were sleeping together in [y/s/n]'s crib, hugging each other," James said and you smiled.

"I'm so happy they have a good relationship," You commented then he moved up on the bed till his face was in line with yours. He turned to his side to face you then kissed you on the lips. He ran his fingers through the strands of hair that were spread over the pillow.

"You know I thought about having a life like this once. A couple of kids, a cosy house and having my best friend be my sweetheart too," He said and you shut your eyes, "You are beautiful, my love."

You chuckled and pressed your lips together, "What else did you think off about your future life?"

"That I would do films that could impact people and maybe change the world. I would live my life as balanced as possible, I would lead a happy life with everyone I love around me," He chuckled and you smiled.

"And what have you ticked off from all that?"

"Almost everything, and I couldn't have done it without you," He moved closer to you then lifted his head to kiss you one more time, "Are you sure you're hungry."

You laughed then sat up. You stretched your arms and moaned then started to get up but he yanked your arm and you fell back onto the bed.

"You're not going to leave me, are you?" You raised an eyebrow and he smirked.

"Sorry, no. I can't sacrifice that much," He spooned you and slithered his hand under your shirt. You giggled a bit, his hand was cold.

"How are you feeling, by the way?" He questioned and you took a deep breath.

"Much better, the medication is working."

"That's good," He placed his forehead on your shoulder as he rubbed your stomach softly, "How do you suppose the kids would react?"

"Happily? Or is that wishful thinking?" You replied, "I hope they're happy... though it's not like they have a choice right?"

James grinned, "They'll be fine, don't worry alright? They're getting a living doll very soon, how can they not like that?"

You scoffed, "That's easy for you to say. You're a soon-to-be father of three."

He sat up a bit, leaning back on his elbow, "Sweetheart I said don't worry okay? It'll be alright."

You sighed then shut your eyes. He lay down beside you once again and shut his eyes as well.

"Don't stop," You whispered.

"What?"

"Don't stop that.

"What, this?" He starting tracing circles on your stomach once again and you moaned a bit, making him laugh a little.

"Y-Yes that... don't stop."
