FAITH POV: I wake up slowly and look beside me to not see Tim. Instead, I see Michael undressed and slowly awakening. He smiles at me as he wakes up. I look to see that his arm is around me, while my head lays on his chest. 

"Good morning." He says, readjusting himself slightly. 

"Good morning." I respond quietly. He runs his finger through my hair. 

"Wow." 

"What?" I ask, wondering if I did something wrong. 

"You look beautiful." He says. I feel myself blush a little bit as my hair falls off of my shoulder. 

"Thank you." I say, shooting him a small smile. 

"Did we do what this looks like?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders. 

"I don't remember..." We both laugh. 

"God, we are just great at this morning after stuff, aren't we?" 

"I mean it would make sense, since you're naked in my bed..." I say. He laughs. 

"True." He says. "Where are the girls?"

"I don't know..." I say. He laughs even harder. That's when we hear the girls. 

"Mom!" Gracie screams. "Maggie's stealing my clothes!" We rush to get dressed before the girls run in. Michael and I both walk down stairs together. Gracie sees us. 

"What's going on honey?" I ask. Michael starts the coffee. 

"Ew." Gracie says. 

"What?" I ask. 

"Did he spend the night?" She asks, sounding alarmed. I nod slowly. "Michael!" She says. "You totally banged my mom!" Michael laughs. 

"She wanted it too." He says. She gags. He laughs even harder. Gracie and him have hit it off from day 1. So has Maggie. Audrey is a little slower to make the transition. 

Things are moving fast between Michael and I. He's incredible with the girls, and great for me. Tim's been making less appearances lately, making me think that he trusts Michael enough to leave for a while. 

Michael wraps his arms around me and sways back and forth. 

"Oh baby." He says, kissing my cheek. I face away from him, pouring myself a cup of coffee. Gracie throws a magazine at him. 

"Cut out the PDA, please!" She says, sounding like a complete teenager. Michael gives her a look, then gives me a kiss. "Ick." 

"I gotta get going. I have to finish up a track for Sara, and then I meet with a new artist later." He says. I nod and smile at him. 

"Fun."

"You bet." He smiles. "Want to meet up for lunch downtown?" He asks. I look at the girls. 

"They have the day off, so I'm not sure if they wanted me home-" 

"Go ahead!" Maggie yells. Gracie smiles at me. 

"Ditto." Gracie says, taking another spoonful of ceral. 

"I guess we have permission." I say, surprised at their response. 

"Will 12:30 work?" He asks, walking towards the front door. I follow him. 

"Sure." I say. He opens the door, then leans back to give me a kiss. 

"Love you." He says. I hesitate for a moment, knowing the girls are within earshot. 

"Love you too." I say. "Have a good day!" I yell to him as he gets in his car. He waves to me as he pulls out of the driveway. 

"You two act like highschoolers." Gracie says. I roll my eyes at her.
