(He sighed, his shoulders shifting in an obviously relieved motion as he nodded.) Good.. I.. just wanted to make sure. (He sort of spit the rest out quickly, nervousness lining his jaw with tension. Jake Foxx wasn't a nervous guy, he rarely showed outward signs of apprehension, fear or anxiety.. so it was a completely different look for him. But it just went along with the changes that had come over him in the years since they had been together last. He had grown, matured and filled out, and had learned that not everything in life would fall into his lap like he expected it to. Life wasn't just a game board that he could toss the dice on and stroll through without consequences. No. Some things he had to fight for, others he had to work his ass off for, and there were some things he wasn't meant to obtain. And he'd had enough time to make peace with that.. because, well, he hadn't really thought Keisha King would walk back into his life and throw his snow globe world for a loop. And yet here he was, sitting on her couch, his palm against her stomach and his heart racing in his chest. He was feeling just as wierded out as he had several months after she'd let him walk out of her life.. when he'd realized he was never going to see her again and that she had been the best thing going for him. Now he wasn't quite sure he was enough for her.. he barely made enough money to keep his own sorry ass afloat.. he had no home.. no family.. no future. And he wanted her? What right did he have to hold a woman like her back? Honestly. He closed his eyes for a moment as though trying to change the mental picture he was generating of them fighting, the kids screaming in the background and the dog barking.. no. It couldn't be like that for them. He wanted more. Sure, they had fun. Lots of it. But could they make it stick? God, he wanted a cigarette.) I need to quit smoking. (He said softly, his brow furrowed in thought, his pulse racing under his skin.)
