"Mom I am meeting a friend for breakfast, come on can't you hire a sitter, fine I will pick up Aaron on my way there and take him to breakfast with me" Nick slammed the phone down and cursed. "Why do I always get stuck babysitting when I am home. SHIT"

"This omelette is excellent Skeelo" AJ had gone to Kevin's house for breakfast so as not to disturbe a sleeping Molly. She had been up most of the night throwing up and when she finally had fallen asleep at 5 am that morning he didnt want to risk doing anything that might wake her up.
"I am glad you like it. That is about the only edible thing I can cook. Poor Kevin has had permanent heart burn since he has been home, haven't you honey" Skylar tousled her husband's hair and grinned.
"Yes, well at least you can't say I married you for your cooking" Kevin pulled his wife down into his lap and kissed her.
"Hello, you have a guest, hello" AJ teased as he watched the couple kiss and tickle each other.
"Sorry" Skylar smoothed out her shorts and tank top and hit Kevin's shoulder as she stood up "I will get you later"
"Promise?" Kevin stuck out his tongue and wiggled it at her.
AJ watched with amusement. He was so happy that Kevin had found a woman who loved him so much and who had given him the one thing he longed for, a family. Skylar made Kevin abandon his calm and serious demeanor and brought out the fun and devilish side in him.AJ thought about Molly, "she brings out the caring , nurturing and serious side of me" Hannah started to cry and AJ motioned for Skylar to sit down and finish her breakfast. "Uncle AJ will take care of her" AJ walked into the nursery "Hi pumpkin" AJ lifted the crying baby out of the crib and put her to his shoulder. He walked around the room singing to her until she had stopped crying. When he turned to walk out of the bedroom with her he was startled by Skylar holding a video camera. "What are you doing" AJ laughed, still shocked and trying to make his heart stop racing.
"I have never seen her calm down so quickly, my god between you and Molly you get her to stop crying the minute you pick her up. I cannot beleive the gift you both have, you are going to be amazing parents, your kids are never going to cry with you two around." AJ smiled at the thought of Molly and him as parents. "I am keeping this to watch later and take notes" Skylar teased as they walked back into the kitchen.

Jessi's eyes fought the urge to stay closed as she rolled over in bed. The smell of freshly brewed coffee wafted into her nose and woke her up. "Mmm that smells wonderful" Jessi crawled out from under the covers and padded down the hallway and down the stairs to the kitchen where Howie was standing clad only in boxers, with his curls hanging loose around his face and wool socks on his feet, cooking eggs. Jessi bit her lip, trying to drink in the beautiful and incredibly sexy image that Howie made. She walked up behind him and on tiptoes stretched to kiss his bare shoulders. Her hands ran around to the front of his chest and she smiled when his hands met hers and turned arround to greet her. "Good morning" Howie brushed her sleep tousled hair out of her face and gently kissed her lips.
"Good morning to you, do you know how incredibly sexy you look standing here in boxers and wool socks, cooking breakfast? God if the hootchies could see you now," Jessi teased as her hands got lost in Howie's curls.
Howie smiled and kissed her one last time as he turned his attention to the eggs. "I hope you are hungry because I made enough food for a small army." Howie flipped the bacon and eggs and handed Jessi a plate.
"God he is incredible, this is like a dream, one minute I am lusting after him with the other hootchies and the next he is standing here almost naked cooking me breakfast" Jessi smiled and sat down at the table.

Nik looked at her watch and tapped her fingers impatiently on the table "where the hell are you Nick, you are late" She was about to call his house again when she saw him walk in with a short and adorable blonde boy in tow.
"Sorry I am late, I had to pick up my brother Aaron" Nick's face was flushed from rushing "Aaron this is Nikola, Nik this is Aaron"
Nik swallowed hard tying not to cry. "My God my little brother is precious, both of them are" Nick took Aaron's small hand and smiled "Hi Aaron, my goodness you look like your brother"
"Everyone says that, we look like our dad" Aaron smiled brightly as he looked at the menu.
" Well mom says I look like that asshole to" Nik thought angrily to herself. "So how is your friend?"
"I called before I left and there was no answer, I guess she is sleeping, all the excitement probably caught up to her"
"She is so young to have breast cancer..wow. So Aaron how many more brothers and sisters do you have? Nik asked, already knowing the answer from the research she had done before she had planned this trip. Nik listened intently as Aaron described his twin sister and his other family. "Pretty soon you will be including me in that happy family" Nik thought to herself.
Nick watched the woman talk to his brother and he couldn't shake the feeling
that he knew her.
