Skye is awakened very early the next morning by a loud pounding at the front door. She rolls over sleepily to look at the clock, which reads 6:00 a.m. Half-sitting up, she peers around for Jax, who is nowhere to be found. Groaning, she gets out of bed and grabs her white robe from the chair. Slipping it on as she walks, Skye enters the living room and sleepily pulls open the door.

"SKYE!" a voice says in shock. She blinks several times, focusing on AJ, who is standing in front of her. "What are you doing here?" he asks.

"What do you THINK Im doing here?" she responds. "And while were on the subject, what are YOU doing here?" He ignores her last comment, staring behind her as Jax walks up.

"Is there a problem here?" Jax asks, coming over to stand next to Skye. AJ eyes the two of them suspiciously.

"I hope not," he answers Jax, still looking at Skye. He cant help but notice a happy glow on her cheeks, despite her annoyance. He also cant help but notice the clothing of the two, wondering what had happened the previous night. "Actually, I came to see you about Sonny," he says to Jax. Jax glances over at Skye, who only shrugs.

"Ill be right back," he tells her. She nods as AJ and Jax step over to the other side of the room. After talking briefly, AJ walks back over to Skye and whispers in her ear.

"I hope you know what youre doing," he tells her. She grins coyly.

"Dont I always?" she asks. AJ leaves, Skye shutting the door behind him. Turning around, she smiles softly at Jax. "Think he was surprised?" she asks lightly, chuckling. Jax smiles.

"Whatever gave you that impression?" he asks, supressing a yawn. "Come on, its too early to be awake. Lets go back to sleep," he says. She smiles mysteriously.

"Gladly," she says, taking his hand and walking out of the living room. Slipping her robe off and tossing it on a chair, she slides into bed again, yawning. Her heart pounds as Jax joins her. Rolling over on her side, she smiles at him. "Have I told you recently how happy I am?" she asks. He grins.

"Have I told you I love you recently ?" he responds, shifting positions to look at her. She doesnt answer him, knowing he knows she feels the same. Instead, she lightly runs her finger along his cheek, his skin giving her goosebumps. Jax grins as he notices the goosebumps up and down her bare arms.

"Cold?" he jokes.

"No," Skye says at first, then reconsiders, a gleam coming into her eyes. "Actually, yes, I am," she says. "Guess youll have to warm me up." Laughing lightly, he takes her into his arms, pulling her as close as he can. As the sun rises over Port Charles, Jax simply holds Skye in his arms, each savoring the moment.
