BELLA STOOD IN FRONT of the bathroom mirror as she brushed her hair and applied hairspray to her curls. it was valentine's day and it was also the couple's first night out after stevie was born. at first, they didn't really plan on going anywhere, but being that it was also their first valentine's day as a married couple, they wanted it to be special.

after finishing up her hair, she stepped into the bedroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror; hair done, makeup done, and her little black dress that defined her curves, including her post-pregnancy curves. she took a deep breath as she adjusted her dress straps as johnny walked into the bedroom.

"you ready, princess?" johnny said as he fixed his shirt before looking up to see bella in front of of the mirror.

"almost." bella smiled as she finished putting her gold earrings on. she then walked over to the bed, sitting down as she put her heels on. as she sprayed some perfume on, she looked at herself in the mirror once more.

as she stood in front of the mirror, bella felt johnny walk up to her and wrap his arms around her waist. "i'm glad we're doing this." johnny whispered as he placed a kiss on bella's temple.

"well, we could use the night out." bella smiled as she turned to face her husband. as she fixed his shirt collar, johnny ran his hands down her torso. "you look so handsome."

"you look hot." johnny smiled, biting his lip as he pulled bella closer to him. "and i mean, really hot."

"thanks honey." bella smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, while johnny's eyes roamed bella's body. "but my eyes are up here."

johnny softly chuckled as he pulled bella in for a kiss. bella smiled against his lips as she heard her daughter wake up with a small groan. bella walked over to the bassinet where stevie was slowly opening her eyes.

"you sure she's gonna be okay?" bella said as she held the baby in her arms while johnny walked into the living room, where bella was.

"she'll be fine. she's gonna drive the others crazy, but she'll be okay." johnny smiled as he looked at bella who held stevie close to her. he smiled and softly bit his lip as bella softly kissed stevie's temple.

"i know that look." bella softly giggled as she placed stevie down. "if i remember correctly, the last time you looked at me like that, she came along."

"but, that was kinda fun though." johnny smirked as he softly placed his hands on her hips, while his eyes went down to her lips. "you wanna try that again after dinner?"

"sounds tempting." bella smiled as she softly pecked johnny's lips as he trailed his hands down further.

as the couple pressed their lips together and softly groaned into the kiss, chrissy and tommy walked in, causing the couple to pull away. "knock knock!" chrissy smiled as she closed the door behind her. "ooh, someone's looking hot tonight."

"chris, don't you knock?" johnny scoffed as he pulled away from bella as she got her purse.

"you left the door unlocked, dumbass." tommy said as he followed chrissy.

"where are the others?" bella said as she grabbed stevie out of her bassinet. "i thought you said the guys and jenna were coming with you."

"honey, it's valentine's day." chrissy said as she put her purse down. "i was lucky enough to get him to come with me."

"you had a date? how?" johnny teased as he walked back into the living room.

"shut up." tommy said as he playfully shoved the blonde. "i was gonna meet up with a girl i met about a week ago, but she got called into work. so, chrissy's my date tonight."

"yeah, whatever." chrissy chuckled. "anyway, you two go have fun, but not too much fun. you just had a baby."

"yeah, thanks chris." bella said as she grabbed her purse and handed stevie over to chrissy, placing a small kiss on her temple. "now, if anything happens, just call us or call mom, or laura–"

"bella, she's gonna be fine." chrissy smiled as she held the baby in her arms. "now, get out of here and enjoy. you know you two deserve it."

bella smiled as she grabbed her keys and said goodbye to her baby. "i love you honey." she said as she placed a small kiss on stevie's head.

chrissy and tommy walked the couple out of the apartment as johnny intertwined his hand with hers as he said goodbye to his daughter as well. "are you sure she's gonna be fine?" bella sighed as she got into the red pontiac.

"she's gonna be okay. i promise." johnny smiled as he interlaced his fingers with hers. "are you gonna be okay?"

"yeah, it's valentine's day and we could really use this break." bella smiled as johnny started the car.

"hell yeah, we do."

"where were you?" chrissy said while she switched channels on the television, as dutch walked into the apartment.

"i went to get a drink." dutch said as he took the remote away from chrissy, as she looked down to find stevie sleeping. "how long ago did they leave?"

"about an hour ago." tommy said as he grabbed a bag of chips and some beers. the guys sat down on the sofa as dutch changed the tv to a sports channel and turned up the volume.

"turn it down, dipshit." chrissy said as she took the remote away from dutch. "i finally got her to sleep and she's a light sleeper."

"chris, chill out. it wasn't even that loud." tommy said as he opened up a beer. "where's bobby?"

"don't know." dutch said as ge opened up the bag of chips, taking a handful. "i thought he was with you."

"obviously not." chrissy said as she caressed stevie's cheek, as stevie softly stirred in her arms. "i thought he was coming with you."

as if on cue, jimmy and jenna walked into the apartment, followed by bobby. "aren't you two a little too dressed up to take care of a baby?" tommy chuckled as he pressed the beer bottle onto his lips.

"shut up. we were on our date, but bobby decided it would be fun to interrupt us." jenna sighed as she ran a hand through her hair and took her jacket off.

"hon, i'm sorry, but i promised bella that we would all hang out and take care of stevie tonight." chrissy said as she tightly held stevie.

"who's playing?" bobby said as he and jimmy took a seat on the sofa next to the guys.

"don't know. we just turned it on." tommy said as he grabbed some chips from the bag. chrissy placed stevie down in her little pink bassinet as the guys loudly yelled at the television.

"i thought i told you guys to shut up!" chrissy said as she took the remote from dutch once more and lowered the volume. "stevie's asleep."

as if on cue, stevie began to softly stir as she woke up crying. "oops." tommy said as he sat back down and took a swig of his beer.

"you see what you dipshits did?" chrissy said as she began to attempt and calm stevie down.

"although i loved being pregnant, i'm so happy to finally drink some champagne." bella smiled as the waiter poured champagne into her glass.

"you remember our first valentine's day?" johnny smiled as he placed his beer glass down.

"how could i forget?" bella smiled as she took a sip from her champagne glass. "we made out in the parking lot until your friends killed the mood."

"i remember being so nervous about that night." johnny said as he reached over the table to interlace his fingers with hers. "it was our first valentine's day and i wanted it to be special."

"it was. it was the first of many valentine's days together and they've all been very special." bella smiled as she softly bit her lip. "especially that one back in '88."

"oh, i remember that one." johnny smirked as he took a sip from his beer glass. "you got off of work kinda late, but we still had a great night."

"we really did. the only thing i remember was you taking off my waitress uniform as soon as we got back to the apartment." bella chuckled as she sipped on her champagne glass. "those were the days, huh?"

"yeah." johnny sighed. "it all seems like yesterday."

"and now we have a kid." bella said as she traced her fingers through the champagne glass.

"do you miss her?" johnny sighed as he played with the rings on bella's hand. "i remember mom telling me something about how the first few days, you get really attached to the baby."

"i kinda do, but i'm with you." bella softly smiled. "i know that she's okay and i know we needed a break."

chrissy attempted to calm stevie by swaying side to side, but was not successful. "it's okay honey, i'm here." she smiled as she looked down at the crying baby. "i'm sorry your uncles are loud."

"it wasn't even that loud." tommy scoffed as he reached for the bag of chips.

"yes it was." jenna said as she grabbed a soda from the fridge. "if i heard it from the bathroom, it was loud enough to wake the baby."

"maybe she's hungry." chrissy said as she handed stevie over to jenna, who tried to calm her down. "and since you guys woke her up, you're gonna feed her."

"how? we don't have tits." tommy said, standing up to get another beer. "you have some. use them."

"with the bottle, you idiot." chrissy said as she grabbed the baby bottle and gave it to tommy. rolling his eyes, tommy walked over to the microwave, until he was stopped by chrissy. "wait! what are you doing?"

"i'm heating it up." tommy said as he took the bottle out of the microwave.

"you're not supposed to heat it up." chrissy sighed. "just give it to her cold."

"no one likes a warm beer, so why is she gonna want a warm bottle?" dutch said as he opened up another beer.

"it's breast milk, not beer." jenna said as she handed stevie over to tommy, who was getting ready to feed her. he carefully held the baby in his arms as he fed her. as she drank her milk, she seemed to calm down.

"i think she calmed down." tommy smiled as he handed the bottle back to chrissy.

"good, now try putting her back to sleep." chrissy said as she put her hair up into a ponytail.

after dinner, the couple headed up to the secluded area outside of encino, overlooking the city. the area was quiet and the only thing heard was the soft sound of the radio, playing every step you take as the couple pressed their lips together.

bella softly groaned as johnny trailed his lips from her lips to her neck and collarbone. as she straddled herself onto him, she ran her hands through his hair as johnny's hands ran down her sides until finally placing them on her bottom.

"i really needed this." bella sighed in pleasure as her husband ran his lips down to her collarbone and chest. "this feels amazing."

"mmh, someone's needy." johnny smirked as bella placed her lips once more before moving her lips down to his neck, earning a groan from him. "really needy."

bella softly giggled as she pressed her lips onto johnny's once more before pulling away. she gently leaned her forehead against his as he softly placed a kiss on her nose. the couple looked into each other's eyes while johnny caressed bella's cheek.

"you remember that one time we came up here with the guys and we both got high?" bella laughed as she ran her hands through johnny's hair. "i don't remember much, but i do remember roller skating up here."

"i still can't believe you were able to roller skate like that." johnny chuckled as he wrapped an arm around bella.

"i don't know, but i was just happy that my parents weren't home." bella laughed as she opened up a banquet. "they would've killed me if they found me high, considering it was my first time."

"oh yeah, i remember! that was the first time you smoked." johnny smiled. "your folks have never seen you drunk or high?"

bella shook her head as she took a swig of her beer. "they've seen me drink, hell they let me try champagne at one of their dinner parties back when i was fifteen, but they've never seen me wasted."

"ah, so that's where the whole champagne thing came from." johnny chuckled as he finished his banquet. "your folks let you try champagne 15, but have never seen you drunk?"

"there's a lot of things you don't know about me." bella smirked as she took a swig of her beer.

"when she's older, who do you think she'll look like?" bobby said as he held stevie close to him.

"i think she's gonna look a lot like bella." tommy said. "those are definitely her eyes."

"they say that all first born girls look like their dad, so i'm gonna go with johnny." jenna smiled as the group agreed.

"who do you think she looks like now?" jimmy said. "i think she looks like bella."

"is it the eyes?" chrissy laughed as she reached for the bag of chips. "i always though that bella's eyes were unique."

"she really does have her eyes." bobby smiled as he looked down to the small baby, as she let out a soft burp, causing the group to laugh.

"after that, i'd say she takes after johnny." dutch laughed. "that sounded a lot like him."

bobby placed stevie down as johnny and bella walked into the apartment. "do you two know what time it is?" tommy said as he threw his beer bottle away.

"shut up." johnny said.

"how's stevie?" bella smiled as she took her jacket off and placed it on the sofa. "i hope she wasn't too much trouble."

"she wasn't for the first hour, until tommy woke her up." chrissy said. "so, he fed her–"

"and i put her to sleep." bobby smiled proudly. "she's pretty much knocked out now."

"thanks chris." johnny said as he wrapped an arm around bella. "actually, if you guys don't mind, we're gonna, y'know."

"nope." jenna said as the group followed her out the door. "you two can go at it some other time. we need rest."
