Isn't it just lovely?

The sun felt phenomenal on Jaseys back. It had been far too long since she had been out in the sun enjoying it and relaxing. Shifting slightly, stomach down, on the big towel, she glanced over to her left, grinning at the scene before her. Charlie was just big enough know to sit up and toss sand every which way, mostly on Micah who seemed more amused by it than anything else. As worried as she had been about it, the move had been good. It never hurt to have a private beach as your backyard. Charlie absolutely loved it, and that was reason enough to have it. Charlie was definitely an outdoors baby, which he must have got from Micah because Jasey had been anything but.

Watching for a few more minutes, eyes full of love for the two people she watched, Jasey finally pushed herself up into a sitting position. Her left arm covered the scar she received birthing Charlie. It was such a small thing considering she ha almost died, but she couldn't help but be self-conscious about it. In fact she had basically refused to let Micah see her naked since. When they had sex, it had to be with the lights off. Her right hand fixed her blue bikini, before he pulled her legs up to her chest, wrapping her arms around her legs. 'You boys about ready for lunch?' she asked with a smile. She had packed a cooler and picnic basket full of stuff so they didn't have to go inside for it. Plus a family picnic sounded adorable.

"Dadadadadada" The little toddler cooed to Michael. Michael laughed in return, helping his son make sand castles. It was fun, Michael would build one, and Charlie would knock it down and roar with laughter. Then they would repeat. Honestly, Michael could have played this little game with Charlie for hours. He once played peek-a-boo with Charlie for two hours straight. He just couldn't get tired of making his son smile and giggle happily. Besides, he had to do something with the time that was left from the lack of sex him and Jasey were having. That was just about driving him nuts. Before they had Charlie, his sex life was active as hell. Now it was almost as nonexistent as unicorns. You know it’s real- you just never see it.

Not that he regretted having Charlie, don’t think that for a second. He loved Charlie more than anything on this earth. Charlie was one now, and he was already shaping up to be the ideal kid, at least he was in Michael’s eyes. Michael turned to Jasey, grinning his lopsided smile. “Lunch? Hell yeah. You hungry Charlie?” Charlie just baby babbled to Michael, cooing and giggling. Michael picked him up and walked over to his and Charlie’s towel and started wiping him down so he didn’t get too much sand on his food. Michael opened the basket and picked up Charlie’s sippy cup and handed it to him, and Charlie guzzled it down. Michael took his eyes off Charlie to look at Jasey with adoration. He leaned over and kissed her softly, before pulling away and began to unload some of the food.

Jasey leaned into the quick kiss that Micah placed on her lips before digging stuff out. She frowned slightly as he pulled away, but turned over to Charlie's diaper bag to dig out her swimsuit dress cover. Turning away from the two of them, she slipped the dress over her bikini, mostly to cover the scar as Jasey had never really been known for her modesty, then turning back to them when the dress was in place. Grinning she scooped Charlie up in her arms, attacking his little face with kisses and listening to him scream out giggles as Micah finished unloading the food. "I love you, baby boy."

She had went into the hospital figuring that she was never going to come back out, but fate had a funny way of playing out things.<p>

Reaching over, she grabbed some gold fish in her hands and held it out in front of Charlie so he could pick up and eat while Micah made him a plate. "I was thinking earlier, while you two were playing. she said , reaching up with her spare hand that didnt have goldfish in it to pull her shades down to cover her eyes. 'We've not been on a date since Charlie was born." Of course it was understandable though, their lives had been crazy busy between both of them trying to work with their bands and raising Charlie. "Maybe sometime soon we could ask Mason to watch Charlie...and you and I can do something." She was crazy happy with her life, but she missed having time with Micah too. Rarely they got a moment alone... and due to her self image issue they rarely found themselves having sex anymore. That was certainly different from how things were BEFORE she was pregnant. Before, you almost had to pry the two apart. Anymore though, Micah would do his best to get her in the mood, and she would come up with some reason why that wasn't the right time, or why they shouldnt. Truthfully though, she just didn't want him to see how ugly her body was now. [/size] [/blockquote][/blockquote]
