We rode in a puzzled silence for a while. The only sound coming from Jackson and the radio; he was singing Adele’s latest single. Tina let out a conflicted sigh and I grabbed her hand and ran my thumb across her knuckles. She smiled and turned to me.

"That was kind of weird right? I mean, why does he all of a sudden want to be there for Jackson? He hasn’t really been around in the past year, and he could never talk to us without getting angry or being mean."

"Well Tee, let’s just hope for the best. Maybe he does only want to be a better father."

While heading home to pack Jackson’s things we stopped much to his delight by the Planet for a coffee and one of Kit’s M&M rice krispie treats. We filled Kit in on what was going on, she seemed skeptical but remained positive. She knows what it’s like to be an addict and she can sympithize.

We rode to our attorney’s office and talked to her, we called Eric to meet us there. Instead of dropping him at Eric’s house, we wanted our lawyer be a witness to us dropping him off. We were still a little skeptical of his intentions with Jackson and we needed him to sign an agreement of legal gardianship. I wanted to be Jackson’s legal guardian just in case anything happened to him, Tina or Eric.

After signing the papers, we talked for a while. Eric told us he planned a camping trip with his brother-in-law and his two sons. Jackson loved camping and fishing so he was excited to hear that. After promising to have him back on Friday, the weekend before the first day of school, they left.

After taking care of one other errand, we got some food and went home. We ate our dinner and cuddled up on the couch and watched a movie. Tina sat between my legs and her head rested on my chest, my hands resting on her arms. After a while I heard her contented sigh and I smiled.

"What are you thinking baby?"

"I’m happy."

"I’m happy too my love."

She sighed again and I ran my hands under her shirt and started rubbing her stomach. Her breathing becoming short and heavy. My hands made their way up to her breasts and I cupped them and played with them. I started pinching her nipples and her breath hitched and a small moan escaped her lips. I pulled her up closer to me so that my lips met her neck and I started kissing her neck and gently sucking at that sensitive spot behind her ear. Her breathing became more rapid.
