"That's what you got from that?" Jeff asked, raising an eyebrow, "That's not what I meant by it. I didn't mean anything by it." He said, "I was teasing, being facetious... like I said, I didn't mean anything by it. You're not a wife so you can't really be a housewife. I don't expect you to give up your hopes and dreams. I would imagine until Hannah's old enough to be handed off to a babysitter, you might be a stay at home mother... not to say you'd never leave the house, because I'm sure you would. Just that... maybe you wouldn't have a job until Hannah's old enough for day care." Jeff said.
"Am I digging myself in deeper?" He asked suddenly.

Selina shook her head, running the bridge of her nose. "I dont know ... I dont know what the think anymore," She muttered. "I had plans ... I was going to have a career, I was going to have my own life straight before I even started about making another life ... I'm not ready to be domestic. I'm not ready to be tied down. I want to be able to pick up my bags and go anywhere, whenever I feel like it. But as you made perfectly clear, I'm the mother, it's my job to take care of the baby," She slumped back in the chair, wrapping her arms around her knees. "You've changed ... I'm not sure which way I prefer you ... I've changed ... and I'm not sure if I like what I've changed into," Selina said.

"I'm the same as I've always been. You're the same as you've always been. We just have a baby now." Jeff said wrapping his arms around Selina, "I love you. I know we weren't exactly ready to have a baby, but we do. Having a baby doesn't mean you're tied down. It's not like I'll force you to never step foot outside again. And you don't have to forget about having a career, just maybe putting it on hold until Hannah's older... old enough for a babysitter or daycare. Maybe my mom could watch Hannah once she's old enough to be left with a 'sitter."

"You have changed. You're softer now, you're more easy going. I miss your fire. I miss you threatening everyone and anyone," Selina laughed. "I'm easier going too ... I used to be tougher, less clingy ... I never used to be dependant on anyone, I liked it that way" She said. "Maybe it's being here, in America, away from all I've ever known,"

"You're the only one I don't threaten." Jeff said, "If you'd like I could start shoving a gun in your face again..." He smirked, knowing that's not what she meant, "And I have not gone soft, I resent that." Jeff laughed, "You have to remember Sugarbutt, when you first met me... I was wounded, scared, defensive, high on whatever the hell kind of drug the cartel pumped through my veins... I still had a bit of adrenaline coursing through me..." He said, "And in regards to your brother... if he shoves a gun at me, I'll shove one at him and vica versa... but most of the time, we don't shove guns at each other. I only let up on Chris because of who his father is. When I'm down at HQ, I'm always raggin' on the rookies. They're terrified of me. You're the one person I actually let my gaurd down when I'm around you. I'm still the asshole you know and love, but I'm just less gaurded around you because I love you." Jeff said.

Selina laughed slightly. "God, I'm so hormonal. Just ... everything seems so different now ... I'm not good with change," She smirked. "But you know, we started off so dramatic, running around here, there and everywhere and now we're just sitting around the house watch tv all day,"

"I know... We can go out and do things if that's what's bothering you. You know? Trips to the mall... to the park... museums... things like that... maybe go out to eat dinner a few times a week, you know?" Jeff said.

"Thanks," Selina smiled. "I dont know what's bothering me, as such ... I think it's just everything all at once ... thank you for being so understanding and not just getting annoyed with me," She said, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I know your hormones are still out of wack..." Jeff smiled, "I may be an asshole, but I can be understanding too. I love you... and our little baby too." He added.

"I love you," Selina smiled. "And of course I love Hannah." She leant across and kissed him softly.
