Alex’s POV

I woke up androlled over and came face to face with my sleeping husbandsnoring softly and drooling slightly on his pillow.
I reached out and started to mess with Jack’s hair which made him sigh loudly as he opened one eye and looked at me.
“What?” Jack sighed loudly as he pulled the coversover his head and Idid the same so we was both under the covers.
“And good morning to youtoo.” I said and Jack smiled.
“Why you up so early? You’re never up this early on the weekend especially when we have the place to ourselves.” Jack said and Imoved hoping Jack got the hintwhich he did andput his arm over me so there was only a small between us.
“Who said Iwas up, Ijust wanted to make sure you was still here so Ican have my morning cuddles.” I said and Jack chuckled as he fell back asleep again.
“I’m still here, always will be right beside you. Now go back to sleep.” Jack muttered andIsmiled and kissed the end of his nose and Igot comfy and let myself fall back asleep again.

I was just getting out the shower when Jack walked in the bathroom naked and wentto the toilet to have a piss.
“You showered without me, how dareyou.” Jack said and Ichuckled andwalked over and lent againstthe side looking at Jack and the marks which was over his back and the fingermarks bruised onto his hips with the odd hickey on his chest and Ijust smirked to myself.
Jack looked at me as he walked over to the sink and washed his hand and then went to the shower and started to have a shower.
“How much did you dig your nails intomy back last night, my back is proper killing me this morning.” Jack said and Ismiled slightly at him.
“Sorry baby, guess Igot carried away.” I said and Jack smiled.
“It’s fine, I’ll forgive you but only because the sex was good.” Jack said and Ichuckled.
“Just good, shit got to up my game otherwise you’ll be findingsomeone else.” I said and Jack turned round and looked at me.
“Don’t want anyone else, Ilove you to bits and all sex is good sex no matter what it is.” Jack said and Ichuckled softly.
“I love you too.” I said and walked out the bathroom and into mine and Jack’s room andsat on the bed and looked at my arms and for the first time in a really longtime Ifelt ashamed of them.
I sighed loudly and got up and checked myself out in the mirror and wasn’t sure on the reflection looking back at me.
“Your beautiful, scars in all, I wouldn’t want to haveanyone else in my life and to raise ourtwo beautiful children with.” I heard Jack say and Ilooked at him through the mirror.
“You could of done somuch better.” I said and looked back at myself.
“No I couldn’t, you setthe standard to high for me to have anyone else. Also Idon’t think Icould have anyone in my life if it wasn’t you.” Jack said and Ifelt him spin me round and held me close to him.
“You are my best friend and my soul mate, Idon’t want anyone else in my life if it isn’t you.” Jack said quietly and Ilooked at him and smiled as Jack kissed me which Ireturned.
“I love you too the moon and back and even furtherthan the moon.” Jack said quietly which made me smile and kiss him.
“I love you too.” I said quietly which made Jack smile.
“Come on we need to rescuethe kids from Quinn and Beth.” Jack said as he slapped my ass.
“Shouldn’t it be the other way around?” I chuckled.
“Nope because those two act more like kids than what our4 and 2 year old does.” Jack said and Ismiled as Jack let me go running his hand over my hips as he did so.
I watched Jack as he walked off removing his towel which made me smirk to myself as Iran over and jumped on Jack’s back which made him fall onto the bed with me on his back both of us laughingand Jack flipped us over so Iwas under him.
“We got to be quick.” Jack said and Ipush Jack off me so he was standing up and Iknelt in front of him and took him into my mouth.

“You know when you say you’ll pick them up at a certain time, you’re meant to pick them up.” Quinn said as we stood at her front door and we could hear the kids laughing in the background.
“We was busy.” I said and Quinn frowned at me.
“Busy fucking each other’s brains out.” I said as I looked at Jack and kissed him and Jack just playedalong.
“I do notneed to know what you two get up too when we have the kids.” Quinnsaid and Ilooked at her.
“Just some sweet fucking that’s what we do.” I said and our daughter Billie walked round the corner looking miles away inside her head.
Jack whistled which made Billie jump and look at me and Jack.
“Dada, Ben Ben, Dada are here.” Billie said loudly as she ran over to get our son Eben, or Ben as Billie calls him.
Quinn chuckled as she looked at me and Jack.
“Better come on in then.” Quinn said and she let us in and we walked to the sitting room where Beth was sat with Eben and Billie jumping on Beth.
“Billie go careful.” Jack said and Bille got off Beth and came running over to us and Jack picked her up and covered her in kisses.
“How’s Mumma Bear doing?” Jack asked as Eben came over and Alex picked him up as Beth stood up with her small baby bump showing.
“Raging heart burn, cravings are really kicking in and under the covers is just amazing.” Beth said and we all chuckled.
“Baby.” Billie said and pointed to Beth’s bump.
“That’s right Baby.” Jack said and kissed the side of her head.
“You literally came at a rubbish time, We was just getting into the film We was watching.” Beth said.
“Can we watch the film daddy?” Eben asked as he looked at me.
“Yeah Go and watch the film me and papa will be there in a second.” I said and put Eben down and Jack did the same with Billie and they went off with Beth.
I went with Beth and Jack went with Quinn to get us all a drink and I kept Beth company.

Me and Jack got home and both the kids had fallen asleep on our shoulders since it was late by the time we got home.
By the time we put the kids to bed I was just about ready to fall asleep as well but Jack had other ideas and he dragged me outside to the balcony where there was a bottle of wine waiting for us.
“Please don’t tell me I forgot our anniversary again.” I said and Jack chuckled and he wrapped his arms round me and kissed my cheek.
“Nope you haven’t that. That’s in 2 months is our anniversary.” Jack said and I frowned as I turned round and looked at him.
“Then What is it?” I asked and Jack smiled and he got hold of my top and gently pulled it up which made me raise my arms as I frowned at him.
“You know there could be people in the woods watching us and then saying that things are getting hot and heavy between us.” I said and Jack chuckled and pulled me towards him and he kissed me hard as my arms wrapped round his neck.
“Let them, then they will know that I love you just as much now as I did when I got with you.” Jack said and I smiled at him.
“So What is this all about then?” I asked still confused.
“So today is 9 years of you being a recovered anorexic.” Jack said and I frowned at him seriously.
“You do realize I could relapse at any point. Not that I don’t want too because I never want to go back to how I was but you never recover from it, there’s always the voices saying your not good enough that your too fat and you should lose weight.” I said and Jack smiled at me.
“But you managed to get though it and you are still here with me and still healthy.” Jack said and I smiled at him and kissed him.
“Couldn’t of done it without you baby.” I said quietly and Jack picked me up and before I could say anything Jack threw me into the hot tub.
“Jack.” I scolded as Jack took his top off and joined me in the hot tub.
“Alexander.” Jack said as he poured us out a glass of wine each and handed me a glass which I took while glaring at Jack.
“Jack Bassam Barakat What have I told you about calling me that.” I said as I took my jeans off and threw them out the hot tub and got hold of my glass and had some of the wine.
“I don’t know Alexander William Barakat, you tell me.” Jack said with a smug look on his face.
I moved so I was sat on Jack and kissed him hard.
“I mean it when I said if you call me Alexander I’ll cock block you for a month.” I said seriously and Jack pouted.
“I’m sorry baby.” Jack said as he kissed me which made me smile.
“Fuck I love you, more so now than when I laid eyes on you.” Jack said and moved some hair out of my eyes which made me smile shyly at him.
“I love you more and more each day I spend with you.” I said quietly and traced my finger over Jack’s tattoo on his chest.
Jack moved and picked his glass up and tapped it against mine.
“For now and forever.” Jack said quietly and I smiled at him as I kissed him.
“For now and forever.” I whispered as I kissed Jack softly and we started to make out and I tried to take Jack’s clothes off.
