Jake sat at the kitchen table, talking typical parental nonsense to his six-week-old daughter. Louisa smiled a big toothless grin at her father. Donna had explained that at this stage in her development, Louisa would smile at anyone who looked into her eyes or even at large objects held close to her face. However, Jake preferred to think his daughter recognized him.

"Yeah, Daddy's sugar baby is the best girl in the whole wide world, isn't she?" he crooned to her. "And the prettiest and the smartest and—"

"And she's being terribly spoiled by her daddy," Donna said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning." Jake looked at his wife, who had come down for breakfast in her gown. During the past few weeks she had begun to relax around him, as he had her. They were getting used to living together. Except for the fact that they didn't have sex, their marriage seemed fairly normal. "Coffee's ready." He nodded toward the two coffeemakers—one for her decaf and a second for his regular brew.

"Thanks." She glanced at the electric skillet on the counter. "Have you already had breakfast?"

"Nope, Sugar Baby … sorry, I mean, Louisa and I were waiting for Mommy, weren't we?" He leaned down and rubbed his nose across his baby girl's. She gurgled and gooed. "I fixed pancake batter and thought I'd whip us up some."

"Jake, you're incredible, you know that?" Donna poured herself a cup of coffee and sat at the table. Leaning over, she kissed Louisa's forehead. "Your daddy had to work late last night and yet here he is up with you, and has not only already made coffee, but he's made pancake batter."

"We aim to please." Jake opened the refrigerator door, removed a large glass bowl and placed it on the countertop. "How many do you want?" he asked as he took a large spoon and stirred the mixture.

"Oh, gee, I'd love three, but I really don't need that many. What with syrup and butter, the calories will add up. I should eat one, but maybe I'll splurge and have two."

"Splurging is eating three pancakes," Jake said. "You can have two without any guilt." His gaze examined her quickly, from head to toe. "Besides, I don't see why you're so worried about a few extra pounds. You just gave birth six weeks ago. And I kind of like where most of that extra weight is located." He gazed meaningfully at her breasts.

She rolled up a place mat, jumped up, flew across the kitchen and swatted Jake repeatedly. He cringed in mock fear, held up his hands to ward off her attack and cried out his apology. As they playacted their fight, they both laughed. Within minutes Jake slipped his arms around her against his chest. She threw her arms around his neck and gazed into his eyes. He cupped her buttocks, lifted her up and pressed her into his arousal.

She pulled away from him and stepped back, then took a deep, calming breath. "Fix the pancakes.
