The loud cry of Giuliana woke me up. I with my eyes closed I slowly stood up from the bed only for a hand to hold me back. "It's okay, you should rest" Andrea whispered. I reluctantly feel back down, knowing he wouldn't let me up even if I had the strength. He's been waking up every hour just to check on her even though he works during the day.  I have no idea where he gets the strength from because she's twice as much work in the night. 

  I felt as Andrea pulled out of bed to go to our daughter's room. In a minute Giuliana stopped crying and I fell right back asleep. 

.....

  I yawned and rub my eyes as I make my way to the living room. As I enter my eyes landed on a shirtless Andrea and in his arms is our sleeping baby. I smiled and walked over to the two. I kissed Giuliana head. "Good morning."

"Don't I get a kiss too?" I lean back and look at Andrea who had a smirk on his face. 

I tipped on my toes and gave him a quick peck on his lips. "Good morning."

He pouted, "Is that all I get?"

I shrug, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"Then go brush it," he said with his moving in direction of the bathroom. 

  "You know I hate brushing my teeth before I eat." It was weird but why brush your teeth before you eat only to have it get dirty again? Why not do it all at once? No dentist would agree with me but meh!

He raised his eyebrows then nod, "How could I forget?"

I shrug and look down at the baby in his arms, "You didn't come back to bed this morning."

  Andrea looked down at the baby and smiled, "She was keeping me busy. She actually fell asleep about ten minutes ago."

I looked at him and frowned, "Why didn't you wake me up? I would have taken care of her."

  He lifted his head and looked at me, "I know but you look so tired last night and I thought you might appreciate some sleep."

  I frown at him, "You have to work.  Important clients to go see, court to go and other stuff that lawyers do."

  He smiled, "I haven't been to court in years. I'm a business lawyer. I get paid to keep my clients out of court. Everything I do I can do it from home, if not I get Marlon, my new assistance or Shane my paralegal to do it." he paused and looked me in the eyes, "I'm not needed in the office, I'm needed here with my wife and our two weeks old baby."

   My heart rate increased, something that every time he did or say something remotely sweet. I quickly brushed it off and looked at him. "I'm just worried about you."

  He smiled, "That's sweet but you don't have to worry about me and my job. I have enough money to last us a lifetime or two."

"I am not worried about money."

  He grinned, "I know. I just want you to know that not going to work is not going to affect us in any way. In fact, it's good. We get to spend time with our baby, together." he looked in my eyes seriously, "I want this relationship to work, Jaimee. I've known you for eighteen years and I know we'll make a great couple if you just give us a try. I'm not forcing you or anything, I  still have a few more weeks to prove that to you." If only he would say 'I love you' then we wouldn't have to wait a few more weeks. 

  I want nothing more than to tell him how much I adored him but it was too early in our relationship and I'm afraid to do it without knowing how he feels in return.

I looked into his eyes and smile, "What do you want for breakfast?" 

  "I'll make breakfast. You can go put her down." he lifted Giuliana lightly off his shoulders and placed her in my hands. I placed one hand on her bottom and one on her back. "Good?" I nod and he stepped away. 

"What do you want to eat?" he asked walking towards the kitchen. 

  I shrug, "I don't know. Anything you're having." I watched as he looked through the content of the refrigerator. He closed the fridge without taking out anything. I looked at with raised eyebrows. 

"We need to buy some groceries. We can eat out. Maybe we can go to IHop since you love pancakes."

I smiled at his kind gesture, "I have pancakes but you don't. We can go somewhere else."

  He shrugged, "IHOP sells eggs too and plus it's been a while since you've had any pancakes to eat." His kind gestures and selflessness were what made me fall madly and deeply in love him. He puts everyone above himself. What's not to love about him?

"Only if you don't mind."

He smiled, "I don't mind."

I look down at his shirtless chest, "At least put on some clothes first. IHop is a family restaurant." I joked. 

  He rolled his eyes, "I was planning on showering, maybe you should too and since we're going out, please brush your teeth." he smirked before walking towards the bedroom. 

  I frowned after him even though I know he was just playing around. He knew I wouldn't leave the apartment without showering and brushing my teeth. 

 I look down and Giuliana and brushed the piece of hair off her face. "Your daddy is a troublemaker." I kissed the top her head and smile, "But I love him."

....

  "May I take your orders?" A petit Latina waitress asked us or rather Andrea since he couldn't take her eyes off him. 

    He looked down awkwardly at his menu then back at me, ignoring the waitress completely, "We'll have the Buttermilk Pancakes and The Big Steak Omelette, peppermint tea with two sugars and an earl grey with one sugar." I looked at him with a smile as the waitress wrote down the orders. How does he remember my IHop order when they last time we came here was five years ago with Jules. 

"Who do you know my order?" I asked with curiosity. Did I tell him?

He smirked, "I know everything about you, JJ."

  I rolled my eyes, "Really?" he nod. I smile since he's so confident why not give him a taste of his own medicine, "What's my favourite colour?"

He laughed, "That's too easy. Your favourite colour is red and purple."

  I smiled, "That was a giveaway everyone knows that I love red and purple, next question, "What's my favourite place in the world?"

"You love Italy even though you've never been there,"

   I looked at him shock, "That's creepy. How do you know that?" I never told anyone about my love for Italy. I always thought they would pick up on my feelings for Andrea.

He shrugged, "I told you. I know everything about you."

   I looked at him but remained silent then a question popped in my head. I bet he won't know the answer to this one, "When did I first saw my period?"

  He remained silent for a few then looked and me and smile, "In was in August, you were thirteen." I frowned at him. Now, this was bound creepy, how the hell does he know that? "Your mother told my mother who told my aunt and that's when I heard. Why do you think she gave you the talk?"

  I faced palm myself. Even though it happened years ago, it was still embarrassing, imagine seventeen-year-old Andrea knowing something so private about me. 

 "If it makes any difference I was the one who told my mother to give you the talk. I didn't want you to get pregnant by some immature fifteen-year-olds."

I rolled my eyes, "Like they had a chance. My eyes were always set on someone."

Andrea looked at me and frowned, "Who?"

I smirked at him, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

"So you're not going to tell me?"

I shook my head, "Nope."

   He sighed then look across at our sleeping baby then back at me with a smile, "At least nothing happened between you two."

I smirked, "You don't know that."

He frowned, "Of course nothing happened. I was your first."

I smiled, "You were but he was my first kiss."

He frowned, "Who is he?"

I smiled. 

You.

  When I remained silent Andrea sighed, "Well he isn't important anymore cause now you're married to me." he leaned in and whispered loud enough for me to hear but low enough so no one else couldn't. "I wasn't your first kiss but I intend to be your last. Your last everything."  He moved away going back in his original position. 

I bent my head now to hide the blush that crept up on my face. 

Maybe sleeping with my brother's best friend wasn't a mistake after all or it is, it's a damn sweet one.
