"I love you too." Justin said as he gave her another small kiss after the passionate kiss he gave her. Justin opened the screen door where all the people who loved Britney were at.

"Welcome Home Britney!" they all yelled. Everyone was there. Brit's boss Johnny, Justin's best friend Trace, mom Lynn, Brit's mom Lynne, little sis Jamie Lynn, Keri, Brit's dad Jamie, cousin Laura Lynne, best friends Jansen, Courtney, brother Bryan and sister-in-law Blaize, and, of course, Laylee.

"Thanks y'all!" Britney said as she hugged Johnny. Justin observed how happy Britney really was. Justin walked over to the playpen and picked up his daughter. "Lets go see Mommy ok. Yes." Justin cooed at Laylee. Justin held on to her as they both watched Britney greet every single person in that room.

"Look who wants to see her mommy" Justin said trying to hand their baby to Britney. Laylee pulled on her fathers faded out black shirt, not wanting to let go. Britney held on to her daughter after she finally let go of Justin shirt.

"Justin, come with me." Britney said taking his hand, leading him to Laylee's bedroom. Justin was about to ask her what she was doing, but before he could, Britney said, "Justin, I don't want to be here. I just want to be with you and Laylee. Justin, I'm coming home." Now Justin was really confused.

"What do you mean 'I'm coming home?'" Justin asked her with confusion.

"Justin, I'm moving in with you. We're moving in. Justin, you said so yourself that you wanted me to come back to you. Well, I am now. Laylee and I are gonna move in next week and we, meaning you, Laylee and I, are gonna be a family."

Justin was shocked at this. He was finally gonna have the realy family he always wanted. Justin kissed Britney's forehead and then Laylee's. "We're gonna be a family now, baby." he said to Laylee. But what they didn't know was, Lynn and Lynne were outside the door watching their children.

After the party was over, Justin was sitting at the table talking to Lynne. Again, he was thinking way too much and missed what she had said.

"What Lynne?" Justin said after he stopped thinking so hard. Lynne looked at Justin and started to laugh. They were talking about marriage and Lynne was saying how she thinks that he and Britney should talk it a bit slower. Justin, on the other hand, wanted to jump into marriage considering the fact that in a week Laylee and Britney were gonna move in with him.

Lynne explained it to him one more time and Justin finally agreed that he should talk to Britney about this more. Justin walked up the stairs to see his girlfriend. "Hey honey." He said walking up to her. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and looked down at the sleeping baby.

"She's tired." Britney said.

"You should be too." He paused for a few minutes before continuing. "Britney, when your mom called me the day you got into the car accident, I freaked. I was so scared. I thought that I was gonna lose you. But you were strong and made it through. And I just really want to thank you. You've given me everything I've ever wanted."

A week later, Britney and Laylee moved into Justin's house. Britney was finished unpacking a few of the boxes that Justin had brought in. "Britney!" Justin called from the bottom of the stairs. When Britney didn't answer right away, Justin ran up the steps. "Hey! How are ya doing on those boxes?" Justin asked Britney when he realized she was unpacking in his room.

"Good. Justin, I'm so happy we can finally be together. Not just for Laylee's sake, but for ours, too." She started to kiss him, but was interruped by Laylee. "Mommy's coming!" Britney said to her daughter, who was in the other room.

Later that night, Britney was laying in bed when Lynn came to get Laylee for the weekend. It was only about 7:30, but, Britney was a little warn out from all the unpacking, moving things around, and getting thing "perfect". Justin got home about an hour later from the grocery store. Since it was the first time that they were alone in a long time, Britney decided to do something special for Justin. Justin reached their bedroom door, slowly opening it. "Hey baby." Britney said all sexy. She was hardly wearing anything. All around the room was vanilla candles, Britney's favorite.

Justin walked over to her and whispered, "Are you sure?"

"I've never been more sure in my life."

That night, for the first time in a year, they made love.

~

"It was so passionate!" Britney exclaimed to Laura Lynne the next day. It was around noon and Justin went off to work for an emergency at the office. "The way he touched me, and kissed me, God, it was better then the first time!" Britney said with a little laugh.

"Damn, I haven't see you this happy in a long time." Laura Lynne said laughing. "Justin must be really good to make you this happy."

"Laura!" Britney said giving Laura her I can't believe you just said that look. "Ok, I'll admit, he's great at sex. But -" She started before Laura abruptly interupted.

"But what? Britney, you love this guy. You have a beautiful child together and he makes you happy! Whats wrong?"

"I was going to say, but I'm scared."

"What are you scared about?" Laura asked her cousin sympthetically.

"Sure he great at sex, but, what if that's all this relationship is heading for? Just making love. I want for us to be together, get married, have more kids. I need to talk to Justin." Britney said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Ok stop it. You and Justin are meant for each other! The way you talk about him, your whole face lights up. Go back to talk about sex with Justin. It seems to make you happy."

~

Meanwhile, Justin was at work when Keri walked in. "Ok Justin, spill." Keri said to her boss, who sat there laughing.

"Spill what?" Justin asked.

"What made you so happy all of a sudden?" Keri asked. A smile along with a blush took over Justin's face and immediatly Keri knew what it was. "Oh my god! You and Britney has sex last night!"

"No really?" Justin said sarcastically. "Ok, yes we did. Keri, I have never seen her that passionate! And you're one of Brit's best friends so you know everything." Keri gave him a Go on, you seem to want to tell the story look. "Keri, I got home and she had our whole room lite with candles. I instanly knew what she wanted and she had on a sexy outfit and everything! She wanted it."

"Ok Timberlake, too much info there." Keri said with a laugh.

"So, I think we're almost done here." Justin said happily.

When Justin got home at 2:00, Britney and Laura were sitting in the back yard at the patio table talking. "Hey ladies" Justin said walking out of the screen door.

"Hey Justin." Laura said blushing.

"You told her!" Justin said acting shocked.

"Hey Brit, I better get going." Laura said with a wink. "Don't want to be late for my manicure!" Laura showed herself to the door as Justin sat down with Britney.

"Brit, we need to have a serious talk about us."

"Ok, umm, what do you want to talk about?"

"Brit, last night was amazing. I just want to know where you stand before we take the next step."

"Justin, I think you know where I stand. I asked last night to make love to me. What does that tell you? That I'm just a whore? Or that I'm madly in love with you and want to show you how much I love you every day? Justin, you're the father of my child. I love you. I want to be your wife some day. Again, I think you know where I stand in this relationship."

"Honey, I love you, too. I want to marry you but I just want to make sure that we'd be in the marrige for us. Not just because we are Laylee's parents. I make love to you because I love you. Your mom suggested that I talk to you about marriage since I mentioned it a few times to her. Do you want to marry me?"

Britney looked at him shocked. "Are you proposing?"

"No, well, not yet. Britney, I think we need to take things a little bit slower. We just moved in and I think we should take some time to get to know each other a little bit better. I feel as if I don't know you like I thought I did."

"Ok. Let's tank some time to get to know each other and when the time is right, then we get married."
