Jessica walks back over to Bruce, practically jumping into his arms, he's barely able to hold her steady so he stumbles backward into the bed.

"Now will you finally come home?" Jessica asks, nuzzling into Bruce's neck.

"Well…"

"What do you mean, 'well'?" Jessica pulls back to give him a perplexed expression. Without giving him time to answer, she begins a long winded rant. "I mean seriously, I actually was able to subdue Devil Hulk which you doubted that I even could! We spent the whole day together, and I'm not about to go home without you. At this point, you staying here is just cowardly and-"

Before she could go on and make things worse by belittling him, Bruce cuts her off. "Jess."

She stops, giving him a dirty look. "What?"

"I was going to say, 'well not without you', if you'll have me of course. It was set up for another joke but I guess I'm not good at those." Bruce explains, Jess' facial expression softening.

"O-oh… sorry." Jessica smiles sheepishly. "I kinda sprung there. You're pretty difficult you know."

"So I've been told. But you handle it fairly well."

There was an awkward pause shared where neither had nothing to say nor knew what to do. For a brief moment they looked into each other's eyes longingly.

"So…" Jess starts, her eyes darting around the room. "Can I have that kiss now?"

"I don't see why n-"

Now it was her turn to cut him off as she crashed her lips onto his, her advanced strength keeping him pinned to the bed. She traced her thumb around Bruce's jawline, feeling the stubble that had grown on his face and Bruce was equally enveloped in her, captivated by her scent, her curves, and soft hair.

Entangled in each other's limbs all was forgotten, until she realized that Bruce really needed some well deserved rest before they could take a step further. Jessica pulls back, breaking the string of saliva.

"Um, I gotta call Doreen to make sure Gerry has been doing okay. You get some sleep alright? I'll join you in a moment." she says, moving her hair out of her face.

Bruce dips his head in agreement and sits up straight on the bed. "Alright."

Leaving him be, Jessica indeed takes this time to call Gerry's babysitter. Gerry was a little hyperactive spider-baby, thus why she got Doreen better known as Squirrel-Girl on the job. Jessica couldn't believe she went almost the whole day without calling to check in! Perhaps she really was having a good time with Bruce that something important was that had slipped her mind.

Waiting for Doreen to pick up, Jessica lets her mind travel. What if Bruce is the one? Maybe he could be Gerry's dad… The thought sounded like a good one to her. For a while she was infatuated with the idea of romancing Bruce Banner and somehow she knew he felt the same way even before today. But maybe thinking that far ahead was on par for a schoolgirl.

Didn't stop her anyway.

When Doreen finally picked up and gave the lowdown on how Gerry was doing, in the back of Jessica's mind she pictured a future where she and Bruce were a married couple with a few other kids, Gerry being a teen watching over his spider-Hulk brothers and sisters.

"You will be back tomorrow, right Jess?" Doreen asks, breaking Jessica free of her imagination.

"Oh, um, yes! Most likely by noon." she answers, "Give Gerry extra kisses from mommy

"Will do!" Click.

Sighing happily, Jessica puts her phone to charge and heads back to bed where Bruce was already sleeping.

She creeps under the sheets, careful not to wake him and readies herself for Dreamland.

Man is everyone going to freak when they see me come back with Bruce Banner on my arm.

END.
