The light shone directly on his face, lightening up his features; his dark brown eyes and his dark brown hair. His crooked smile was forming as he looked up from the table to me. A small and light Spring breeze was filling the air, blowing his tresses slowly. I returned the smile to him as he began to speak about what had been going on for him lately. It felt like I hadn't seen him in weeks, even though we live together. I suspected this a long time ago, I knew what to expect. I nodded as I listened intently, looking from him to the engagement ring that sat on my left ring finger for a year and four months now.

My gaze fixed back on him, listening to him tells his stories of how busy he's been. I knew that though; we lived in the same house for God's sake. My thoughts were overbearing sometimes and quite annoying all the time. I loved him more than anything and I always would. I wanted a future with him; to grow old with him. That was the plan, right? He was gone for the majority of last year, and I had finally got him back before Christmas. Then, after the holidays, I lost him to his passion again. But once again, I expected it. It's not like he'd been neglecting his son and I, because he hasn't. I feel like he's still adjusting to this relationship, which is fine.

"I feel like I haven't seen you in a million years, Livvy. Even though we sleep in the same bed." He said, taking a big gulp of his Pepsi.

I nodded, smiling softly. "I would have to agree. Any big studio plans this Friday night?"

His head shook, his dark hair swaying back and forth, "Nope. And Jonah's gonna be at my mom's tonight. We should go out to dinner tonight. Let's be fancy." He said with a chuckle.

"That sounds amazing. Can you fit me in your schedule?"

He took out his phone and looked at it jokingly, chewing on his lip. "Um, let's see. I can fit you in." He put his phone down, "Of course I can fit you in. I'd cancel the biggest event for you, baby."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh whatever, Fuentes." His nose scrunched up and he laughed. "I'm pretty excited to spend time with you, though. With Jonah and work, and your studio time, this little date sounds perfect."

He nodded and looked into my eyes, "I know. I miss you very much."

A smirk pulled on each end of my lips, "I miss you too, Vic."

He held my hand from across the table and rubbed it with his thumb softly. Vic smiled as he did so, his eyes shining brightly. I was falling in love all over again.

I sat on the bed, staring into my open closet. "I'm mad because now I need to find something to wear." I said to Vic who had just gotten out of the shower.

He laughed resting his hands on my shoulders, "You could wear a t-shirt and pajama pants and you'd look beautiful, baby." He kissed my neck, then walked to his side of the closet, finding something to wear.

After a few minutes of miserably staring at my closet, thinking of all the possibilities, I stood up from the bed and walked straight to the closet to find something. I flipped through the hangers when my eyes landed on this beautiful black dress that I hadn't worn in years. "Ooh, I'm gonna wear this, babe. It makes my boobs look fantastic."

His eyebrows raised at the sound of that and a nod, "I vote that dress."

I smiled as I picked it out, then continued to get myself ready for this marvelous date night that I was looking forward too. I finished my makeup in the mirror and studied my hair that I added blonde to at the ends a few months ago. I was yearning change, and the first things to change are either hair or wardrobe. I wanted to feel sexier for Vic, and he loved it also.

"You ready, babe?" Vic asked as he topped off his look with a snapback hat, facing backwards; of course.

I nodded, grabbing my clutch and stuffing my phone and lipstick inside of it. "Yeah, do you have the keys?"

"I sure do. Let's go."

We left the house and made our way to a lovely restaurant that was recommended to us by Jaime and his girlfriend Jessica. We talked the entire way to the eatery, not running out topics or getting bored. I loved moments like these. We didn't get them often, so I was happy to get what I could.

The waiter lead us to a beautiful table near a window facing the city, and you could see it all, it seemed. I sipped on my glass of wine as did Vic, and we talked about a lot of things. He seemed really excited about writing this new album and it made me happy too. The waiter took a picture of us together and I had uploaded to Instagram, instantly getting likes upon likes from his fans and our friends. "Ew, Mike's girlfriend liked the picture." I made a face at the thought.

He laughed, stuffing his face with bread. "What don't you like about her?"

"Uh, everything! She reminds me of Amy. You know, your psycho ex. Even though Alysha isn't really psycho, but I don't know! She's just, ugh. I see nothing special about her or her 'ass' that she supposedly has." I made air quotes around ass. That was apparently her best physical feature. I mean, c'mon I had a big ass my entire life! I'm Hispanic, I'm supposed too. "When did big butts become trendy? Am I finally trendy?"

Vic's nose scrunched as he chuckled at my tiny rant. "I've always thought you and your butt were trendy, Liv."

"Thanks, babe." I grinned wide.

"And, you were right. That dress does in fact make your boobs look fantastic." He winked at me and wiggled his eyebrows like the perv that he was.

"You are sick, Fuentes. Save that for when we get home." I returned the winks and wiggles, making his eyes grow.

"Alright, hurry up. Eat your bread, let's go." He jokingly rushed.

"Let me eat my pasta, dickhead. And, you already ate all the damn bread. Do you know how much starch you just ate?"

"Whatever, what are you a nutritionist or something?" He rolled his eyes, making me laugh.

Vic opened the door and let me in first. Yoda ran up to us and jumped on us happily, wagging his tail. "Hey little baby!" I shouted in a baby voice, bending over and petting him softly. I felt a smack on my butt and I shot up, glaring at him with an evil grin that matched his. "Someone is feisty this evening."

He stepped closer to me, "A little." He picked me up and ran to our bedroom. I was laughing hysterically as he kissed on my neck the whole way. He slammed the bedroom door with his foot, and slammed me on the bed at the same time. I wiggled upwards, as he continued going back and forth from kissing my lips and my neck. My eyes closed as he was inching closer and closer to my weak spot. I moaned in pleasure as he nibbled at my weakness, and was simultaneously unzipping my dress.

I was scratching at his back, yearning to take his shirt off. Once I finally did, and he slipped off my dressed, he was eager to skip foreplay, and honestly, I was too. We were craving each other's bodies and I could feel the heat coming off of us. He slipped off my underwear slyly and I was begging for him in moans. A devilish grin came across his face as he had no mercy and slammed right into me. My fingers held onto the sheets, grabbing for them to hold onto as euphoria surged through my veins.

All I kept thinking was how bad I needed to scream and let out how amazing this all was feeling. He was pushing in and out of me, making me tug on his hair. I couldn't take it any longer and I screamed out my fiance's name as loud as I could. My back arched as I could feel a big orgasm ready to explode out of me, and him as well. We both finished at the same time, riding it out and going for more. He was saying my name, and I saying his.

Two orgasms later, we collapsed beside each other and he out breathless, just like I was. "Olivia, I love you so much."

"I love you too, Vic." I turned over and placed my hand on his face, kissing him lovingly.

"Have you seen this episode? Oh my god, this is insane." I exclaimed to Vic as he was making us popcorn.

"Livvy, I've seen every episode because you're obsessed with that show." He said blankly, then let out a laugh.

"I can't help it. Law and Order: SVU is literally the most amazing show ever. I need to buy all the seasons that are available on DVD."

He walked over, handing me a water bottle and placing the popcorn bowl between us. "I just watch because of Detective Benson. She's a babe."

"Honestly, I wouldn't complain if Detective Stabler put me in handcuffs, if you know what I mean?" I winked and elbowed Vic in his side making him chuckle.

"I'd be jealous of Stabler to be quite honest." He mentioned with a sexy smirk.

"He ain't got nothing on you, babydoll." I wrapped my arm around his neck, bringing him closer to me. "I love you, duh." Vic chuckled at my words and kissed my lips hard, then my nose softly.

Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang so Vic got up to answer it. "Mommy!" I heard as soon as the door opened and Jonah ran inside and hugged me tightly.

"Hey babe! How was your night at grandma and grandpa's house?" I asked, looking back and seeing Mama and Papa Fuentes standing there happily and hugging Vic.

"It was so fun! Grandpa and I made s'mores, mom!" He said excitedly and ran to his room. I sat there blankly for a moment, then got up to greet his parents.

"How was your night, guys?" Vivian asked with a smile.

Vic and I looked at one another and grinned, "It was amazing and much needed." I said happily.

"Good, you two needed it." Papa Fuentes added.

"Thank you so much for watching his yesterday." Vic said with graditude towards his parents.

"Oh no, no it's not a problem. That's our one and only grandson, we love to spend time with him, you know that." My ex and future mother-in-law said with a grin.

They sat on the couch and with us for twenty minutes chatting to one another about Jonah then Mike and us. They left and Jonah was in his room playing. Vic and I continued watching SVU, when I looked at him during a commercial break and frowned.

"What's wrong, baby?" He questioned rubbing my leg gently.

"Do you know what Jonah called me? He called me mom. He said mom."

"Uh, so?"

"He's never called me mom before, Vic! It's always been mommy. Now that he's said mom, that means that he's growing up and he'll never call me mommy again and that means he's not a baby anymore and that means that he-" I rambled on before Vic interrupted me in the middle of it.

"-Liv, Livvy. Hey, it's okay, babe. Guess what? He is growing up. He's gonna be eight later this year. He's not five anymore, he's not in kindergarten anymore. I know that's hard, but he's a big boy."

"I don't want him to grow up. He's gonna be in third grade by the time he's eight. Oh my god. I'm gonna have a fucking panic attack. Then he's gonna be in middle school, then high school, then college, then getting drunk in college and meeting girls and oh my god, Vic this is terrifying!"

He half-smiled, "Liv, it's okay. I promise. Middle school and getting drunk in college is far away. He's okay, like I said. He's a big boy. He's gonna grow up to be amazing. Just like you. Aaaand, maybe me." He grinned widely at the mention of himself making me smile. "Besides, he's gonna be calling me dad instead of daddy and I'm okay with that. I can't wait until he hates us when he's a teenager." He sighed happily making us both laugh.

"Ah, those will be the days. Can't wait to get hated with you, baby."

"See? A lot to look forward to together, Livvy."

"A ton." I said, kissing him, letting his lips curl into a smile on mine. I felt better knowing all that was to come when it came to Jonah. Yes, he was growing up pretty fast and I couldn't stop that. But, I was going through it with Vic. He always saw the silver lining in situations, and I had to be grateful for that. There was so much in the future in store for my little family and I.
