“Looks like Mommy’s awake, J.J.” Julian smiled, “Mommy looks scared, but she shouldn’t be worried, right? Right? Aww, no, she shouldn’t. You’re in DJulianaddy’s arms,” Julian spoke gently to his son and brought him closer to him and held him tightly, “Daddy loves you,” Julian spoke into J.J.’s ear while his eyes were on Eve’s.

“Julian…” Eve whispered, “Give him back to me…”

“Why, Eve, you are ruining a father/son moment,” he tsked.

“Julian, stop f***ing around and give me back my son!” she hissed.

“Eve!” he scolded her as he covered J.J.’s ears, “Not in front of our son.”

Eve had had enough! She marched up to Julian and yanked J.J. out of his arms. J.J. screamed but then calmed down as he felt relaxed in his mother’s arms. She looked down to his face and smoothed his hair with her hand, and then watched as he turned his head towards Julian.

“D-d-da—d-da-da…” J.J. babbled.

Julian’s heart melt.

“Did he just call me what I think he called me?” he said excitedly.

Eve didn’t know what to say. She was completely shocked…ecstatic. Her son had said his first word, and to the right person. She looked down as a tear left her eye.

Everything was out in the open now and Julian knew. He knew the truth.

“Why are you crying?” he asked as his finger wiped the tear away, “Please don’t cry,” he kissed her cheek softly, “He’s mine, isn’t he, Eve? You didn’t name him after your father, did you?” he lifted her chin, “If you had, our little boy’s name would be ‘Warren’.”

Eve’s eyes widened. Julian definitely knew!

Eve simply shook her head and looked down.

“He’s yours…he’s ours,” she cried softly.

“Why, Eve? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“What was I to say, Julian? I knew you were married; I wasn’t about to screw that up…and now,” she laughed mockingly, “Now, I find that the father of my son is my own best friend’s husband. God,” she turned her back to Julian, “What’s next?”

“I deserved to know the truth, Eve,” his hands were placed on her shoulders, “I don’t give a sh*t about what Ivy thinks! This is my son, my flesh and blood…ours!”

“Julian? Why are you shouting in here?” Ivy entered, her eyes moved to a half nude Eve, “Eve,” she eyed her suspiciously, “What are you doing in here? Is…everything okay?”

“Everything’s fine, honey,” Julian smiled, “Eve was just worried because I snuck little J.J. out of his crib before Eve woke up; she didn’t know where he was…”

“Oh,” Ivy said and wrinkled her brows, “Well, if that’s all that was going on, and you found J.J., how about we have some breakfast?”

“Well, I-I’m still in my gown; I’ll just go up and change real…”

“Oh, that’s nonsense,” Ivy waved a hand, “We’re all in our night clothes,” she shrugged, “Come on,” she said and led the way.

Both Julian and Eve and their son followed Ivy into the kitchen and sat down at the small breakfast table. Ivy sat on one side, then Julian sat to the right of her on another side, and to his right was J.J. in a highchair, and to his side was Eve, and then little Abigail was to the right of Eve and to the left of her mother at the square table.

The morning started off well, as everyone was eating their breakfast in peace. Ivy and Eve talked to one another across the table, as did Julian and Abby.

It was as Ivy received an incoming call on her cell phone and took it in the other room, and little Abby was coloring in her coloring book at the table, that Julian slid his leg over and rubbed it against Eve’s. She was feeding J.J. his cereal when she felt Julian’s leg. It was warm; she could feel the crinkly hair rub against her smooth skin. Her head turned from her son and focused on Julian. He had been reading the paper and then peeked out from the side and met her eyes. Eve gave him a look, and Julian pulled his leg back to his side. She then went back to feeding her son when…she felt Julian’s hand creeping in underneath her gown, between her thighs, and inside her underwear.

The spoon dropped and made a clanging noise. Abby looked up from her coloring and looked to Eve. Eve smiled back, or tried to smile back. Julian was causing her to lose her inhibitions as he caressed her. Abby went back to coloring, and Eve reached down and yanked Julian’s hand from between her thighs. Julian smiled at her and winked. He then reached out and once again placed his hand inside her underwear, but just as she was about to grab his hand, Julian entered her.

Eve whimpered softly as her hand wrapped around his wrist. She swallowed as her breathing became erratic.

Abby had placed the purple crayon on the table, but it began rolling off and fell to the floor, so, she bent down, still in her chair, and reached for it on the floor. Just as she was about to sit back up, she saw her father’s hand between her mother’s friend’s legs. The next thing she saw was her father’s hands grasp Eve’s and take it to his manhood. He kept his hand over Eve’s from preventing her to pull it away from him. Julian cleared his throat as Eve began stroking him…

Abby then sat upright and stared in wonder at her father and their guest.

Why were they touching each other like that? Weren’t only married people supposed to do that?

“You’ll never guess who that was on the phone,” Ivy smiled and laughed as she came back into the room.

Eve jumped and yanked her hand from Julian’s manhood. She gave him a disgusted look and now focused her attention on Ivy.

“Who, Ivy dear?” he said as his hand rested on Eve’s knee.

Eve turned and sat forward, so that Julian couldn’t have access to her body.

“TC!” she exclaimed, “Tc Russell!”

“Tc?” Julian said, “Who’s Tc?” he shrugged.

“You spoke to Tc?” Eve asked.

“Yes, after all these years he still thinks about you,” Ivy confessed, “You two made the cutest couple back then…” Ivy laughed.

Julian, who had been bringing a spoonful of his Trix into his mouth, stopped and stared at Eve as he chewed on the crunchy cereal. Who the hell was this Tc, and what the hell did he want with Eve, Julian wondered.

Eve felt his stare, but never met his eyes.

J.J. then began banging his hands on the surface and kicking his legs, which told Eve that he was ready to be picked up, and she turned her body again, so that it was facing Julian’s direction and picked up her little boy and spoke to Ivy at the same time.

And that’s when Julian scooted closer to her and his son, and began tickling his son’s stomach and then his feet…

Ivy didn’t think much of Julian’s attention to Eve’s son. She just figured that he had taken a liking to J.J.

And then Julian’s hand traveled to Eve’s knee once more. Her eyes met his, and Julian then raised her gown and slid his hand along the inside of her thigh and caressed it.

Her breathing was becoming shallow again, and she turned her head to Ivy to give her her attention as she spoke to her…

“Eve, are you okay? You look a little flush…” Ivy asked.

“Yes, YES!” Eve squeaked, “I’m fine,” she jumped back and now stood, “I’m just going to take J.J. upstairs; his, uh, I think he needs a change,” Eve smiled and walked out of the room with a dangling J.J. in her arms.

Ivy laughed and shook her head as she watched Eve leave the room. She then turned her attention to Julian…

“She must’ve been nervous just hearing Tc’s name,” she laughed again.

Julian smiled briefly and stood.

“Uh, dear, I better get ready to go to the office; I’ll see you later tonight,” he said right before he kissed her on the head and left.

Abby turned and stared after her father.

Julian opened the door to the room, and entered. He heard someone in the restroom and walked to it and opened the door. Eve was standing there looking at herself in the mirror.

“Julian, no.” she shook her head, “Julian, no!” she faced him as she tried to fight him off.

“I can’t stop myself, Eve,” he brought her into his arms as he spoke into her hair, “I need you, Eve; I need you my darling, Eve,” his lips claimed hers.

“No! Please stop!” she pushed on his chest.

But Julian just grabbed the thin straps at her shoulders and brought them down her arms revealing her breasts to him.

“Don’t…” she pleaded, but it was no use…

Julian had bent his head and captured one breast in his mouth and began suckling…

“Julian, Julian…” her chest rose and fell, “Stop this! We can’t…we…can…’t…Ivy…Julian…NO!” she regained her willpower, and pushed him from her.

“God, Eve, if it had only been you that I had met those years ago…and not Ivy…” he exhaled.

Eve walked out of her bathroom and pulled up her gown.

“No, don’t say that!”

Something had just hit Eve. She suddenly remembered something, something that she had totally blocked out from the past. The words that Julian had just spoken brought everything back to her. She remembered!

“Julian, just go! And I don’t want us to have this conversation again,” Eve sniffed, “You’re with Ivy, and that’s how it’s going to be!” she walked back into the bathroom and shut the door and locked it behind her.

Julian stared at the closed door and then left her room.
