Tess smiled at him. "Thanks for letting me sleep, but I don't mind staying up for a bit, I'll just stay in bed and if I get sleepy again I'll take you up on that." She met Gage's eyes. "Weird having mommy and daddy with you at night huh?" She asked, not sure if he was even paying attention or would even understand her question. "Besides I'll have tons of time to sleep the next two weeks with you taking him. I'll have so much sleep I won't know what to do with myself." She moved a strand of hair out of her face and watched Gage play.

Nick smiled at her, glad that she was finally getting the rest that she needed, although he knew that in these next two weeks he was going to lose his shut eye. He didn't mind though, he would rather it be this way anyway, but he couldn't do that to Tess. She wouldn't be able to stand it, being away from him for more than a weekend. It was hard for him to do that, but it had to be even harder for her, the mother is usually more protective, after all. At least while they're babies.

Tess watched the two of them play then started fishing for her under garments and pants, that way if they managed to get Gage asleep and Nick fell asleep she'd be able to get up. "I can't believe how big he's getting. I'm glad he's catching onto things now. I was afraid he wouldn't start walking and talking until much later."

Nick smiled and nodded at her statement, agreeing with her, but still playing with his son while they talked. "Yeah, I'm honestly really proud that he's gotten so far. I mean, talking and walking, what's next? Is he gonna learn to fly? Cause that would be pretty cool. What do you think Gage? You wanna learn to fly?" he asked with a grin. The little boy just looked at him and didn't say a word, still in his 'quiet play' mode.

Tess grinned. "It would be super awesome if he learned how to fly." She grinned wiser and propped her head on her hand. "Thiugh I can't say I condone it." She giggled. "We don't know how to fly how would we protect him?" She asked. "Gage you should be super baby, but learn some other super power other than flight, k? Cause you'd have me worried to death."

Nick smiled at his girlfriend's comment and then made a funny face at Gage, which he tried to copy. He laughed lightly and looked up at Tess and grinned again, "Yeah, big man, learn something like super strength or you could have like laser eyes, like cyclops. Or maybe you can just be a genius and create a suit like Ironman." He reached over and tickled his son's stomach lightly, causing him to giggle at his father.

Tess smiled. "Oh, super genius baby would be pretty cool, then mommy and daddy won't have to sit around the dinner table and stress over your algebra homework, because we can't figure it out." She laughed, giggling along with her son.

Nick smiled again and then looked up at his girlfriend, smiling as well, "Yeah, 'Cause I sure as hel--heck, won't be able to help him with his algebra," he said with a grin. Gage stood up, pushing his butt up into the air as he stood and toddled over to the bed, putting his hands up on the edge, barely able to see over the mattress to his mother's eyes. Nick smiled, "Mamma!" he squealed as Nick came up and pulled the little boy away from the bed, raising him high into the air.

"He's just too cute, we made a cute kid." She grinned as Nick lifted Gage into the air. "Say dadda!" She'd managed to get into her bottoms and sat up fully watching the baby kick and giggle. "Hey, Gage, you want to stay with daddy forever?"

Gage did as he was told, saying dadda as he giggled from being in the air. Nick sat down right beside Tess and laid back, holding the baby at arms length above him. "Whoa, Gage, you're up so high!!!" He let him down to sit as Tess asked him a question. Gage simply cocked his head at his mother, probably not understanding, "Mommy too?"

Tess smiled, ruffled his hair and nodded. "Mommy too." She leaned forward and kissed his forehead. "You're right couldn't live without him even if he wanted me gone." She leaned to kiss Nick on the lips. "Hey Gage mommy is going to get some sleep this week and daddy is going to take care of you, but I promise I'll visit like daddy does and on the weekend I'll come get you all for myself, sound good?" She didn't think he'd understand that either and wondered if he'd even notice the change.

Nick watched the two communicate and smiled. Gage looked at his mother wide eyed and just nodded, although he didn't understand anything she was saying. Nick laughed lightly at their son. "We are going to have so much fun, Gage. I'm gonna teach you all sorts of new tricks, do you like that?" he asked as he tickled his son lightly who let out another giggle.

Tess closed her eyes and simply listened to her little boy giggle at his dad's tickling fingers. "I wish I could teach him tricks, I don't have anything up my sleeve." She rolled over so she was on her back and staring up at the ceiling, she could still see Nick though. "Nick I love you, thanks for bringing fun to his life."

Nick smiled at her and shook his head, "You don't really have to have anything up your sleeve. When he catches on to something funny, you just say whatever it is and then do it and he'll copy. After a few times he does it every time." He looked over at his girlfriend and smiled. He let his son go and the baby crawled over to his mother and laid down next to her. "Hey, you're fun too, alright? I like you, if you weren't fun I wouldn't." He lay down on the other side of Gage on his side so that he could look at both his girl and his baby, the two most loved people in his life.

Tess rolled her eyes and turned on her side as Gage snuggled up beside her. "I was fun." She ran her fingers through Gage's hair. "I'm boring now." She glanced up at Nick. "I mean I love Gage, but we have seriously mellowed out more than I thought we would, than I would. I was sure I'd be one of those crazy party girls, you know like the ones on the bad girls club, or whatever." She grinned, the idea was ludicrous now.
For the record I don't and have never watched The Bad Girls Club, Jersey Shore, or anything remotely similar.
