Jesse and the Rippers had another hit in 1992, the cover of the Beach Boys' song 'Forever', the one he sang at our "extra wedding" 2 years earlier.

The music video consisted of him singing the song, interspersed with footage of me cuddling and playing with Frida on Alamo Square as well as having a picnic with her on one of the grass areas of Breakfast Point. And sometimes he'd be in there with us, too.

The music video was really fun to film, and it showed the genuine tightness of our family.

By this time, Joey and Therese had formed a husband & wife comedy team, and Nicky and Alex would often stay with us while they were touring. We didn't mind too much, and the kids got along great! We loved having the boys over, and it was good because the boys weren't overly emotional from missing their parents, as they already had a pre-established bond with us. Nicky and Alex were adorable little boys, and sometimes Jesse would jam with them.

"Forever" reached #1 in many countries, and I was so proud of him! Although I was not surprised seeing as the Rippers have had hits before, including multiple #1s in the 80s! My husband is so talented. And the music video showing our little family became popular too.

Personally, I love the song, and I especially love that part in the middle where Carl Wilson harmonizes with Jesse. This was his song for me, and my song for him was 'Gonna Sing You My Lovesong'. But while our first dance wedding song was always 'I've Been Waiting For You', the song we call "our song" that describes our feelings for each other is 'Crazy For You' by Madonna, and has been since it's release in 1985.

But this song was really something, Jesse didn't simply cover a Beach Boys song, he sang it, and made it his own! Our little Frida seemed impressed too. She was going on 2 years old, and was walking, talking, smiling and doing all those other things 2 years do. She had beautiful brown wavy hair, and every morning when I brushed her hair, it was always a bonding experience. Oftentimes, when I got done brushing her hair, she'd cuddle me!

Jesse and I always wanted to capture our love for our family members on at least one of each of our songs, so we did (I did it in 'Live Your Life Be Free'). And those certain shots of Jesse in that bed, I must say, were HOT! I mean he's ALWAYS a hot man, but the way he does certain things... he says the same things about me too!

Anyway, we went to the Tanner's home where the Gladstones joined us, to watch the music video for 'Forever' air on TV for the first time. The Tanners clapped for us, loving how the video was made. It was all Jesse's idea, but they were still pleased that I participated with our beautiful little girl. And the best part was that it was not acting - it was all real. Everything that Jesse and I did for the camera that was lovely, romantic, etc, it was all real.

The song became #1 in Japan, and it was great timing too, because a Japanese talk show - the very same one that ABBA performed on - had requested me to perform some of my songs from my "Live Your Life Be Free" album, which included my latest hit, "Little Black Book".

Jesse and I flew to Tokyo, staying there for a week. That gave us enough time to rest, perform, and do a bit of sight seeing.

I watched a tape of ABBA Japan specials from 1978 and 1980, to help melt my nerves away for our upcoming performances on TV.

Jesse and I decided to dress a little sexy for the show. He had an open leather shirt, and I wore a white, strapless dress with sparkly cherry blossoms on it.

The performances went fabulously, culminating in standing ovations, and even though our Frida was only 2, she still appeared to enjoy it too! We took turns, holding her in our laps while the other was on stage.

A tour promoter later met with Jesse in our hotel room, and offered for us both to tour around Japan for a year, but we both turned it down because we didn't want to be away from home and family that long. Being the head of the family, Jesse ultimately made that decision, but wanted to hear my thoughts as well, and we both agreed wholeheartedly that it also wouldn't be in Frida's best interests, especially since children need extended family, and being Greek, Jess and I certainly understood that.

But we wanted to enjoy Japan while we were here, and after our interview on the talk show, we explored Tokyo. We kept it low-key and we were happy with that. We went to a traditional Japanese bath house, then tea house where we made little paper cranes with Frida. The koto music was so beautiful and relaxing to listen to, especially in the baths. I was in the section with the women and children, just like in an Ancient Greek bath house. I like how they segregated the men and women, including if a man was to have a massage, then a male masseur would be assigned to him, likewise for a woman who was a customer, there'd be a female masseuse. As such, no other woman would be touching my husband, and no other man would touch me. I was Jesse's and his alone to touch. The other moms in there were clearly star-struck by me Meanwhile, Jesse had had his in the men's section before going for a shiatsu massage. I heard a scream coming from the shiatsu room, and I knew that my poor Jess wasn't used to that type of massage, so it was painful for him.

"Try to relax, Mr Katsopolis." Said the man massaging him.

"How can I if you're pulling on me and sitting on my legs?" Said Jesse.

"It will help your body detoxify." Said the masseur. "Trust me, we've been doing this for centuries, we know it works."

"Ah, that hurts!" I overheard Jesse saying.

"Your muscles are very tight. You'll feel much better after this." Said the masseur.

After soaking in the lovely, warm bath with the other woman and children, Frida and I dried ourselves, got dressed, and were served a complimentary tea while waiting for Jesse to be done with his shiatsu.

"I am never doing this again!" Said Jesse when he came out. But the masseur told him that it was normal to be sore, that it was a sign of detox in the body, and that it should go away in a day or two.

"Come again!" Said the lady as she said goodbye to us. The spa had relaxed our little Frida so much that she was asleep in my arms when we left!

The next morning we flew back to San Francisco, landing there around dinner time. My gosh it was great to be back, not to mention great timing because we were so tired, so I made some food, fed Frida and put her down for the night.

Apart from that one day a month when I'd bleed, and those weeks after I gave birth to Frida, Jesse and I made love every night, and tonight was no exception. He grabbed my derriere as he always did, and I dressed up for him in Frida's kimono costume that she wore quite a few times in 1976.

I lay down for him, and he untied my kimono, opening it up and revealing my body. He ran his hands over my breasts before kissing my body. I had a moment where I could briefly get up to slide the kimono off and Jess slid my panties down and off my legs before taking off his own clothes.

"So beautiful..." Said Jesse, gazing upon my body.

I moved myself upwards to where my head was on a pillow, watching him put on a condom (he knew I loved watching him put it on, and he knew it, so he always did it in full view, haha!).

I applied some silky lube to my ladyplace as well as his member, ready for him to enter me.

"Ophelia, baby!" He moaned. "Your pussy is so shiny and wet!"

"Oh yes take me!" I moaned. "Oh it's so big!"

He thrust into me hard, grunting with pleasure, ravishing me. Our passionate lovemaking was so intense it didn't take us long at all to each orgasm together. I held him closed to me as he wrapped his arms tight around my waist. I caressed his sexy hair as he kissed my breasts and licked my still-hard nipples.
