| Chapter 60 Alexis is sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper when Jax walks in. “Good morning my love.” She looks up at him. “You seem to be in a chipper mood. Did you have a nice run?” He pours himself a cup of coffee and then adds some to her cup. “It’s always nicer running this time of the year.” He sits down across from her. “it’s not so muggy out.” Looking down at her newspaper. “Why anybody would want to get out of a nice comfortable bed first thing in the morning just to run their fool heads off and look” She looks up at him. “The gross way you do, is beyond me.” “And what’s wrong with the way I look?” She gets up and walks over to the fridge. “For starters you’re all wet and stick.” She looks back at him. “Not to mention having a bad hair day.” She opens the fridge and looks inside. Getting up and walking behind her. “Don’t pick on my hair.” She turns around and he’s right there. “You really do need to take a shower.” He places his arms slowly around her and pulls her tight. “Uggggg Jax your all slimy, and I just took a shower.” “Is there a law against taking more then one shower a day?” He pulls her out of the fridge, closes it and pins her body against it. “Because if there is I’m going to need a lawyer.” She looks him in the eyes. “A divorce lawyer?” His eyes roam her body. “Only if she looks as good as you.” “I have several you can choose from. Let’s see there’s John Hennessey, Greg Lander, Robert Mit…” He pulls her into a passionate kiss “I don’t know what put you in this kind of mood but I won’t complain.” “Even if it means you’ll have to take another shower?” “Well that all depends.” “On?” He asked kissing her neck “Weather or not you’ll be joining me.” She pushes him back. “And weather or not you plan on taking one before this gets any further?” “You sure no how to kill the mood.” She laughs at him and the phone rings. “See now if it wasn’t me it’d be the phone.” “That’s why we have a machine:” Walking over and picking it up. “Jasper Jacks…um yes that could be arranged….no I don’t foresee any problems….okay fine say Monday around three….nice doing business with you as well.” He hangs up the phone. “Okay Mrs. Jacks where were we?” He asked turning around, finding himself all alone. ~*~ Alexis is up in her bedroom looking through Johnny’s draws. “So kiddo what should we wear today?” He starts to cry so she walks over and picks him up. “I guess it really doesn’t matter what I put on you because you won’t have it on for very long will you? Well in that case I say we go with the mint green outfit since daddy’s still home and he doesn’t like the outfit with the red trim.” “I was wondering where you disappeared to.” Jax stated standing in the door frame. “Sorry but I have to get Johnny dressed and ready if I plan on getting to the courthouse on time.” “The courthouse?” “Don’t look at me like that Jax you knew sooner or later I’d be getting back into my daily hectic life.” He walks over and sits on the bed. “Yes but I didn’t think you be getting this into it this soon.” She lays the baby on the bed and starts changing him. “Honey I’m already months.” She looks at him. “and I mean months behind.” Playing with Johnny’s fingers. “I know your anxious about getting back to work full time but do you really think Johnny is ready for it?” “Johnny will be fine.” She hands Jax the baby and walks into the bathroom. “Bobbie’s on her way over and I promise I won’t be gone long.” He looks at Johnny and smiles. “We’ve never talked about hiring a full time nanny.” “I talked to Rebecca’s sitter and she said she’d be happy to take on the job.” “Marcy’s a great person but…” “There is no butts about it Jasper Jacks, Marcy’s great with Rebecca and she just loves Johnny.” “I don’t know, I still think it’s to soon for us to even be having this conversation.” She walks out of the bathroom putting in an earring. “Okay fine then you can stay home more and look after Johnny when I’m not here.” “Alexis I’d love to but you know how crazy my schedule is. I’m in and out so much I don’t know if I’m coming or going.” The door bell rings. “Then it’s settled.” She kisses his forehead and heads down stairs. “We’re hiring Marcy full time.” “Well Johnny looks like I walked right into that one.” ~*~ ~ Later on that evening ~ Alexis is sitting on the couch talking on the phone when Jax’s walks in. She looks up. “I’ll call you later okay, Jax just got home.” He walks over and sits next to her. “So how was your day?” Looking at her watch. “Not as long as yours.” He kisses her forehead and pulls her close. “I’m sorry I’m so late. How the kids doing?” “They’re both sound a sleep, have been for hours.” “You mad?” “Not as long as you aren’t mad at me, for going back to work full time.” The phone rings. “I’ll get it.” He walks over and picks it up. “Hello…yes Mr. Peterson I have those documents right here. “He opens his briefcase and looks through the papers. “Can you hold on a minute they must be on my desk upstairs.” He looks over at Alexis. “This will only take a second.” “Quiet not to wake Johnny.” “Don’t worry I won’t.” He yells making his way up the stairs. “Nope yelling won’t wake him at all.” She laughed getting off the couch. “I guess I should clean this place up a little.” She stated noticing all Rebecca’s toys on the floor. “I swear the more I tell her to pick things up, the more things she leaves lying around.” She spotted a drawing, Rebecca must of drew, in Jax’s briefcase and picked it up. “She does love her daddy.” She was about to put it back when she noticed what looked like a medical record. She couldn’t believe what she was reading as Jax came down the stairs. “Told you I wouldn’t be long.” She turned and looked at him. “Would you like to tell me what the hell this is?” “What, what is?” He asked till he noticed the document in her hands, causing his facial expression to drop. “I’m waiting for an explanation Jax.” “Does it really need explaining Alexis.” He takes the document from her. “I think it’s all right here in black and white, Ned Ashton is the father of your baby.” |
