Sequel...

Sorry for not updating in ages- I've got all these ideas, but when it comes to writing it, I get some sort of block. It's probably just the last few screws falling loose or something… I still feel mean for leaving you guys just hanging like that- you all want updates and the sequel to Tobias's story (and an update on Leo's Settled Down as I'm constantly reminded), and I'll do my best to make it up to you all!

Sophia was sat on the sofa, her legs curled beneath her while her children slept peacefully under a blanket next to her. She was waiting for Tobias to come home from work.

Darcy and Finn were six months old and already, they were trouble. Finn was a clone of his daddy, save the fact he had blue eyes. Darcy seemed to keep her big brother in line, babbling at him with what seemed to be a stern tone for a six-month-old baby.

Hearing the key in the lock, Sophia was pulled from her thoughts. She jumped up and ran to greet her husband. He beamed when he saw her, wrapping her in his arms.

"Miss me?" He teased. Sophia sighed, smiling.

"Just this once, I'll say it- yes, I missed you." Tobias chuckled and kissed her lightly.

"Where are the Things?"

"Asleep, so be quiet." Tobias smirked. "Don't say anything…" She warned.

"I wasn't going to."

"It's you- you were bound to." He just gave an angelic smile, his arm moving to around her shoulders.

Sophia watched him collect the Little Twins and carry them to bed. Finn woke up briefly and smiled sleepily at his father.

"Hello, handsome." Tobias smiled at him. "Sleepy times now." Finn yawned and was asleep again in seconds.

Chewing her lip, Sophia went through what she wanted to ask him in her head, rephrasing it a dozen times and still unhappy with it. (That's how I feel). She didn't pay attention to him returning, feeling his warm hands on her waist. "Are you OK, angel?"

"I'm OK." He ran a thumb over her lips before kissing her lightly.

"Don't chew your lips then or they'll be all bloody."

"Such a motivational speaker…" She rolled her eyes at him, offering a smile. He frowned, holding her gaze. It was when he did this did she realise how well he understood inner turmoil.

"What's the matter?"

"Um…" She replied brilliantly. "Well, I… uh…" Tobias wrapped her in his arms. A sense of security washed over her as she rested her head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. "I've been thinking-"

"Uh oh…" She glowered at him, secretly amused.

"Well, I, um, want a, uh, big family?" She paused, noticing how he continued to look at her expectantly. "And, um, I wanted to ask you if we could, you know, try?" He gave his trademark, cocky smirk.

"Miss me?" What was it with this guy? A few words and he had her at his mercy. Such as then- the simple teasing of 'Miss me?' a mimic from his greeting earlier, but with more innuendo and she was blushing like a school girl.

But she loved him just the way he was- a challenge. An annoying challenge, but a challenge all the same.

Tobias was running his hands through her hair, waiting for her to respond other than turning bright red. His smirk hadn't faded, which made her blush deeper and scowl at him slightly.

"Can we?" She asked quietly. Tobias looked in her eyes and noticed the hopeful look in them. He also saw the worry and anxiety- would he say no?

Tobias hummed, deciding to tease her. She looked stricken and put her hands at his throat. "Don't be mean, Jackson, I'm warning you…" Tobias laughed, gently prying her hands from his throat and lacing his fingers with hers.

"If I say 'yeah', will you be happy?" Her expression softened in hope and worry as she nodded. "Then that's all I need to know." He kissed her, holding her close. Sophia pulled away.

"Is that a 'yeah'?" Tobias rolled his eyes, smiling. "I'm sorry, but you're not the easiest person to understand."

"Why would I want anyone to understand me?"

"I don't know; you're Tobias bloody Jackson."

"Damn right." He kissed her again. "And that was a 'yeah' in case your feeble woman mind didn't understand."

"Why are you so sexist?"

"What was that? Why am I so sexy?"

"Ugh…" She groaned, burying her face in his chest. He gave her bum a cheeky squeeze, making her squeal in surprise. "Jackson…" She growled warningly.

"Angel?" He was smirking at her, knowing he was pushing her to the limit, but revelling in the pleasure it bought to annoy her so much. She loved it really; she was too damn stubborn to admit it. "How about we try now then?" His smirk faded into cocky as he held his hand out. Sophia sighed, but took his hand anyway.

OK, I'm not sure on this as a starter chapter, but hopefully the next ones will be better. I'll do my best to update as often as possible.
