"He's here!" I yelled to Hayden who was getting dressed in the bathroom in our room. He took a shower so it would be free incase Justin wanted to also take a shower. I opened the door and ran into Justin's awaiting arms.

"Hey, baby, it is so good to see you." I said as we hugged. He was the same height if not taller than Hayden, but he was a lot more muscular.

"Tell me about it. You don't look like you just had two babies. You look great." He said as I spun around in front of him, teasing him for saying that. I didn't take compliments very well, and I delt with them by over-exagerating. Hayden walked out and after all the greeting and small talk was done we got all of his stuff and brought inside, into the spare room.

"Are you hungry? Thirsty?" I asked

"I'm fine." He said as one of the babies started crying. I excused myself and left him and Hayden to catch up.

"What's wrong, baby?" I asked as I picked up Aiden. He was crying and had just woke up. I sat down in the rocking chair and rocked with him for a few minutes. He soon calmed down, but as soon as he stopped crying, Maddy woke up. Luckily she didn't start to cry. I put Aiden in his swinging chair and picked up Maddy and was feeding her when I heard a knock on the door. I looked up and Justin was standing in the door way. I smiled a motioned for him to come in.

"What are their names?" He asked as he crouched down infront of Aiden, who in turn grabbed onto his finger and giggled.

"The one that has the death grip on you is Aiden and this little one right here is Madison, but we all call her Maddy." I said as Aiden finally let go of his finger. He walked over to where I was sitting in the rocking chair feeding Maddy and he bent down so that he was eye level with me.

"You know, I really missed you." He said as he stared into my eyes. I didn't know what I felt, but I am sure it wasn't exactly a good feeling.

"I missed you too, I missed everyone." I said trying to advert his stare by not looking at him.

"You shouldn't have left. If you were afraid you should have came to me. I would have taken care of you." He said as he ran his hand slowly up my arm. It was kind of creepy the way he was acting. I mean, I knew that at one time way back in high school he had liked me, but that was a long time ago. But right now, in the dimmly lite nursery with just him and I, and him touching me like that I wasn't feeling right. I stood up so he wouldn't be too close and layed Maddy down in the playpin. When I turned around though, he was standing right there. He didn't even say anything.

"Justin, I can't find that shirt that you wanted to give me. Where did you say it was." I could hear Hayden yell from the spare room.

"That's because it isn't there." He said in a whisper as he looked at me with a fierce glow in his eyes. And then as quick as it happened, his eyes went back to the caring eyes that I knew. "I know it is in there, I'll help you find it." He said as he walked back to the door. Then he said in a voice that couldn't have been any colder, again in a whisper "Darn I must have left it at home."
