*Janet's Point Of View*

"How did you sleep last night Jazzy?", I beam, watching Jasmine enter the small kitchen. She yawns loudly then gives me a lazy smile. "Yeah. I would've liked sleeping in my own bed than sleeping with a restless two year old.", She exhales, sitting on one of the silver bar stools.

I shrug and place a bowl of cereal in front of her. "Well, your parents wanted to have alone time. You'll be back home in a few.", I reason, passing her a box of Cheerios.

"Thank-you. But, mom and dad just wanted to have sex, without us hearing. I don't know how old people can do that. It's honestly disgusting.", She stresses, pouring her cereal. I laugh and sit next to her.

"Well... your parents aren't that old. It's pretty normal for that to happen...",-"Then why did he cheat before? I mean if he is so in love. He should'nt have cheated. Just a typical man... Mom doesn't deserve that.", She explains, picking at her cereal. I stare at her silently for awhile, trying to figure out where all of this is coming from.

"What makes you say all of this? I thought you were happy with your father.", I examine, finally ending my silence. She continues poking at her cereal. "I don't know. I love Dad. I really do. I just hate what he did. He cost us our family. If he didn't cheat, none of the bad thing's would've happened. No fake Channing's, no D-David's, no arguing. Our life has been up and down. I can't even keep up anymore. It's frustrating.", She explains.

"Have you told your parent's about this?", She silently nods. "They just make empty promises that thing's will get better. I don't know how they will, my trial continues next week. My world will still remain dark.", She admits, choking up a bit.

"Oh honey, trust your parent's. If I know your mom, my sister in law, I know she's trying. She call's me crying. Crying about how thing's are eating at her, but somehow she lulls herself together for you guys. How do you think your father feel with all this happening to his family?",-"Terrible. He cried two weeks ago at our last hearing. That's why I can't tell him I still hate what he did to mom. It would hurting him. I don't want to hurt him.", She mumbles, turning to her cereal again.

"I don't want to hurt him again... ", She chokes. Seeing that her tears are soon to follow, I stand up and gently pull her from the stool. "Come here honey. Just know your parents are doing the best they can. They really are and they love you.", She sniffles, tugging tightly at my shirt.

The barely audible sounds of a distressed toddler separates us from the comforting moment. "God... Let me go take career of Jordyn then we can get dressed and head home, Okay?", She nods, wiping her eyes.

"Thank-you Aunt Janet.",-"You're welcomed honey. I love you Jazzy.", She blushes. "I love you too Aunt Janet.", I flash her another smiled before rushing to tend the rowdy toddler.

*Michael's Point Of View*

Waking up this morning is a pain; my back is killing me. I know it's worth it though, because I had the best birthday and the best night last night. I really felt important. That's one of the many reasons I love my marriage. We both go out of our way to take care of each other, always trying to keep each other on our toes. It's a beautiful thing.

I let out a long yawn, starring at my chest where my Hershey laid peacefully sleeping. She's so gorgeous, and doesn't even know it. Sometimes I find myself so mesmerized by her beautiful exterior, but I'm even more mesmerized by her lovely interior. Stroking her straightened hair, I watch her rise and fall with my stomach.

I also find it amusing how she can turn into this sexy vixen only to return to this sexy, poised mother and friend; especially with what I experienced last night. I have no idea where that came from, but my wife definitely knows how to make a man feel good.
