let me try

*two years later*

                 "Tayls?" Jay wandered through the house as he got back in from grocery shopping.  He strolled up the stairs to see Taylor cradling their one year old son in her arms, "there you are..." he smiled and leant in the doorway of the nursery.  She looked up and smiled tiredly, "he will not go to sleep, like, at all" she raised her eyebrows. He smiled and walked over to her, "let me try" he held his arms out. She thankfully passed max over as jay accepted his son. Taylor smiled at the sight, "I'm gonna go take a shower..." she yawned, "you do you" jay smiled and planted a kiss on her head. She smiled and planted a gentle kiss on Max's head before yawning again and walking away.

Jay smiled as she left, max is at that age where he will only let Taylor put him down for bed at night, but during the day he will not let anyone put him down for a nap, the kid will not sleep at all. So taylors always tired. "You're tiring your mother out, you know that right?" Jay cooed and he rubbed Max's head soothingly. Max stirred in his arms and threw his teething toy into the floor, "somebody's moody today..." the detective bent down to pick it up. He sighed and decided to sit in the rocking chair in hopes that it would tore the kid out a bit.

After taking a nice but short shower Taylor got out and threw on some PJ's, she could hear jay still battling on with max so she decided to lay down for a bit, it was 7:45pm at night and max is usually in bed by now, but the kid is fighting his battles today. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but this parenting life is proving to be a lot harder than both of them thought, at least the married life is sweet...

About half an hour later jay had finally managed to put the little monster down for bed, "stay" he sighed sarcastically and flicked the nursery light off. He wandered towards the bedroom to see Taylor laying on their bed, she looked exhausted. He smiled weakly and decided to change into PJ's too, he carefully got into bed and laid by her side, "he's asleep..." he sighed. Taylor smiled and placed her hand over his arm, "thank god for that" she whispered but jay could hear the smile through her tone. He rubbed her arm, "Will said he would look after him tomorrow, so we can have some alone time" he planted a kiss on her neck. She smiled, "sounds good to me" she rolled over to face him.

"You're a miracle, you know that right?" He smiled. She smiled back, "and you're amazing..." she ran her thumb across the stubble on his chin. He smiled, "I was thinking dinner date at 7, then just relaxing..." he sighed peacefully. "Sounds romantic" she laughed. He nodded, "even more romantic than a screaming baby trying to eat our dinner?" He smirked, "oh definitely" she laughed. He smiled, "perfect" he gently kissed her. She smiled back, they're living the life despite the struggles...
