Poppy Montgomery on marriage and bringing Jackson to work

Poppy Montgomery on marriage and bringing Jackson to work
As Poppy Montgomery shared earlier, the delivery of 3-month-old son Jackson Phillip Deveraux was not easy. After two failed inductions and a lack of dilation, she needed to undergo a c-section. One extended-through-Christmas hospital stay and a 5-day deliberation over names later (Harper and Dashiell for a boy, Ruby and Scarlet had he been a girl), Jackson and Poppy were home, which is where they stayed throughout the writer's strike. Now back on work on Without a Trace, the 35-year-old actress revealed,

[I nurse him in bed in the morning, then we go to work.] He's with me all the time. My whole trailer is set up like a nursery. He's sort of become the 'Without a Trace' mascot.

I'm suspicious of everybody. What if Jackson goes missing without a trace? I'm certainly more aware of that part of the world.

Poppy also again defended her and boyfriend Adam Kaufman's decision to remain happily unmarried, having said, "It didn't ever really occur to me."

My focus is having a happy, loving environment. I feel like as long as we're committed to each other and we have a happy home we have a marriage -- just not with a piece of paper. If it becomes an issue for Adam or Jackson, [I would consider it]. Sometimes it's really important for kids that their parents are married.

When Poppy and Adam first met on-set, their feelings for each other weren't quite so fond -- at least not her's!

P: We didn't like each other, I can tell you that. I thought he was opinionated.

A: I actually thought she was really cool.

P: Oh. Now you're going to make me sound like the meanie.
