Chapter 16

Jen layed in Nick's arms.

"Mmmm.. that was good." She spoke just above a whisper. Nick agreed and nibbled on her ear.

"Happy Birthday, Baby." Jen turned around and looked in his eyes. "What? You didn't think I forgot did you?"

"Nah, I think I know you love me.." She replied twitling her fingers in front of his face. "I still can't believe it."

"Well, Mrs. Carter. Believe it or not, but weddings bells will be ringing soon." Jen smiled.

"Say that again."

"Say what again? Mrs. Carter?" She nodded.

"Well..Mrs. Carter, I think we'd be gettin' to sleep cause we gotta go pick up my little man in the morning."

"Alright, 'night."

"Oh, one more thing. I wanna adopt him. Make him my son."

"Really?" Jen cried. He nodded. "That's the sweetest thing i've ever heard. He already thinks you're his daddy. He even calls you dada."

"I know. But lets go to sleep." They kissed each other one more time, then fell asleep in their arms.

Nick rolled over to an empty bed. Looking around, he saw the bathroom door cracked open. Smiling to himself, he peeked into the bathroom and watched as Jen washed her hair. Opening the door, he went to the sink and brushed his teeth.

"<Gasp> My god Nick. You scared the shit out of me." Jen screeched as she reached for a towel and covering herself.

"Oh come on. It's nothing I haven't seen before." Jen blushed. "Why you blushing for?" He asked turning on the shower.

"Nothing, Nothing." He slid down his boxers and came towards her and started kissing her collarbone. Jen moaned, but pushed him away. "Nick, as much as I want to..If we start, we'll never get out of here."

"Ohhh come on." He whined. Jen gave him an evil grin and left leaving him standing there.

Jen walked out into the living room and dug through her suitcase. Debating on what to wear, she just pulled out a pair of jeans and a 3/4 sleeved sweater. After putting them on, she pulled out a pair of socks and put her shoes. By the time Jen was done, Nick was already stumbling out of the shower and getting dressed, so she went into the bathroom to blow dry her hair and apply her make up.

"Alright, ready?" Jen asked coming out of the bathroom and spraying her perfume on.

"Yea, just a sec." He said getting up to put his sneakers on. "Okay ready." They grabbed their jackets, put them on and took a cab to Long Island.

"Oh, Jennifer!"

"Aunt Susan."Jen squeezed her aunt. "This is my FIANCE Nick." She said showing her her ring.

"Ahhhhh!! Hello Nick, Since when?" She gave him a peck on the cheek and hugged him.

"Last night." He replied.

"Did I hear you say you're getting married?" Stephanie asked coming to the doorway with Jayson on her hip. Jen nodded and Steph gave her and Nick a big hug, handing Jay to Nick. "That's so exciting Jen." Stephanie squeeled.

"I know." She answered. Jen and Nick stayed for a few hours, had lunch and talked with the family.

"Okay guys, 11:15 down in the bus. We're leaving at 11:30." Denise said coming into their room.

"Alright."

"Where is everyone?" She asked.

"Jayson's on the bed sleeping and Nick's in the shower."

"Okay, well, tell him to be ready cause Louie wants to leave as soon as possible."

"Okay." Jen replied.

"Who was that?" Nick asked coming to see who she was talking to.

"Denise, she said to be ready at 11:15 and down by the bus cause thats when we're leaving. I'm not to keen on sleeping on a bus again. Maybe I'll just sleep on the couch in the back.. you know me, I didn't like sleeping in that small bunk cause i'm afraid i'm going to fall out...I'm going to need one of those things that Jay uses."

"Don't worry about it, Baby. I'll sleep with you on the couch." Nick replied coming over to her and squeezing her cheeks. "You're so cute."

"Get outta here you Sick-O (not psyco, sick-o)." Jen replied pushing his arms away. He acted like he was hurt so she went over to him and pinned him to the floor. "I'm sorry." Then grabbed his cheeks, "You're so cute." Then kissed his lips.

"Come on, let's get the stuff out of here so we aren't blamed again for being late." Nick suggested.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jen was laying on the couch with the remote in hand.

"Is he sleeping?" She asked.

"Yea." Nick replied coming to lay with her. "Ya know, I wanna have atleast two more."

"Oh you think so." Jen chuckled. "Nah, me too. I want a little girl."

"Mmm, with your looks, and your hair and-"

"Your smile, and eyes." She listed. "Okay, we're not even married and we're discussing our kids features." They laughed. "Do you really love Jay?"Jen asked all serious.

"Yes I do. Listen to me! Eventhough he calls me Daddy and isn't really my son, I still love him because he's apart of you."

"Okay, are you sure?"

"Positive. How can you not love him?" Jen smiled.

"Okay. Do you think we should tell him about his real father?"

"Yea, I think so. But when he's old enough to understand what happened. I don't know if he could handle it, being a young kid and all."

"Yea that's true." Jen layed there motionless for a few seconds. "Ya know, if I hadn't have met you, I probably would've never dated anyone ever again, just because what's happened to me. But, i'm glad you came to talk to me at the mall. Cause I really, really grew to love you."

"I love you too. " He replied. They talked more, then settled on a movie that they had both fallen asleep on.
