John's POV

If someone told me a amonth ago, that I would be here. In the house of my highschool crush. Waiting for her and her daughter pack to come with me to a trip to Flordia. Just the three us, I wouldn't have believe them. I just wouldn't have been able to see it. But now that it was acually happening, I still couldn't believe it. I would have Kelly and Lily to myself. For two whole months. I was glad that Mike nor Alex was coming. It wasn't against either one of 'em. But I knew that Alex wouldn't leave me alone with Kelly or Lily for that matter.

"We're ready." I heard Kelly say walking into her leaving room carrying Lily's two suitcases.

Kelly had packed most of her stuff last night, except what she would need to get her throught the night and this mourning.

I smiled when I saw Lily walking behind Kelly with a bag a stuffed animal clung tightly to her chest. As I was looking at the animal, I couldn't help but feel like I have seen the animal before. Then I realized, it was the same stuffed animal that I had won Kelly when I had taken her to the state fair the year before I left. I was surprised that she had kept it. Hell to be honest, just until now, I had totally forgotten about the thing.

"So do you two have everything packed and ready to go?" I asked making sure they hadn't forgetten anything. Well at least anything important. If they forgotten something, I had more than enough money to buy them anything and everything they wanted.

I watched as Kelly looked around the house.

"Yes I am sure that we have everything." she said looking back to me.

I smiled and took the suit cases from Kelly to put them in the car. I figured if I had everything ready in the car, Kelly wouldn't have to worry about picking them up. It wasn't that they were heavy, because they wasn't. But they did have some weight to them.

"Your brothers, Maryse, and Eve should be on their way over." I said to her. "I'll wait by the car when your ready." I added.

"No." Lily said running over and grabbing ahold of me. "You can't leave just yet." she aded.

Kelly and myself just chuckled at Lily.

"I'm not going anywhere without you or your mom, Lilybug." I said crouching down to look in the four-year old's eyes. "I'm just gonna give you and your mommy some alone time with your aunts and uncles." I added.

I watched as Lily smiled and hugged me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her. I never thought it was possible to love someone else's child like I love Lily. I didn't know whether it was just because Kelly was her mother or what. Nor did I care. I love her now and nothing can change that.

"Okay." she said walking back over to Kelly.

I gave Kelly a smile as I stood back up and grabbed the suitcases to take them out to the car. I was putting them in the trunk when Kelly's brother and sister in laws pulled up. Maryse and Eve just gave me a smile as they walked to the front door. While Alex and Mike walked over to me.

"So did you get it?" I asked Alex as him and his brother got close enough.

"Yeah." he said pulling the bag out of his jacket pocket and handing it to me.

I looked at Alex when he nodded his head. I smiled and went to open it up to look at it. When I first talked to Mike and Alex about this, I was shocked that Alex had agreed to help me. But I was glad. Things were getting better between the two of us. For Kelly and Lily's sake.

"Thanks man." I said to him after putting it in one of my bags. I knew it was safe there. "Do you think she will like it?" I asked them both.

"Stop stressing about it man." Mike said chuckling. "She will love it." he added.

"It's the perfect one for her." Alex said. "Just don't fuck up my hard work." he added with a smile.

I didn't know whether to smile at them or what.

"What hard work?" I heard Lily say walking over to us.

"We were just talking about how well John and I are getting along." Alex said to his sister without any hesitation.

I was glad that it was Alex who was able to say it and not me. Cause I knew that Kelly wouldn't believe me and wouldn't keep asking me about it.

The six of us, plus Lily and Taylor, all stood there for a few more minutes and kept talking. Alex and Eve had wanted to come with us, but couldn't because of Eve's brother and Alex didn't think his manager was ready to run the club by himself just yet. But he had talked me and Kelly into going somewhere else sometime when him and Eve could get away. Along with Mike and Maryse. I was pretty sure that it wasn't just because of work that Alex couldn't make it. He knew my plan and I was glad that he decided to stay back.

After a few minutes of talking, we said our last goodbyes before putting Lily in her seat, and heading toward the airport.

Kelly's POV

After what felt like a long time on the plane, we was finally in our hotel room. Or suite or whatever it was. But it was big. And I loved it.

"So you like it?" John asked.

I looked at him as he walked into the living room. Carrying Lily. Who had her arms wrapped around his neck and was sound asleep.

"I love it." I said walkign over to him and placing a kiss on cheeck.

"Her let me lay her in bed." I said trying to grab her from him.

"No, I got it." he said to me. "Why don't you go relax or something?" he said before walking away.

I just watched as he walked away. Not sure what to think about it. It was a bit strange to see him act this way. Exspecially toward my daughter. But I was glad. He has only know her for two weeks and he is already acting like her dad. Which made me happy knowing that he cared and loved about her so much.

"She stayed asleep even when I was laying her down." John said walking back into the room. 'The plan ride must have worn her out." he added when he sat down on the couch, and pulled me down with him. It was times like this made me realize no matter how mad I may be at John, I could never turn my back on him. I loved him. And I am pretty sure that I still do. Which is why I promised not only myself, but also Eve and Maryse, that I would play this trip safe. I honestly don't think that I could handle losing John a second time.

"Thank you for inviting me and Lily." I said looking at him. "You didn't have to." I added.

I didn't what to think when John pushed the hair that was around my face, away, tucking it behind my ear,

"Don't thank me." he said then kissing me.

I absolutly love his kisses. They were just sweet and innocent. Never to demanding and never to rough.

When I felt him pull away I smiled while opening my eyes.

"What was that for?" I asked him.

"For comign with me. And bringing Lily." he added. Giving me a smile of his own.

For the rest iof the night, we had fun. After Lily woke up from her nap, we all changed and got ready for dinner. John had taken us this seafood beautiful seafood place that was located one of the many peirs by our place. And thankfully that served chicken fingers. I've never seen Lily eat any kind of seafood.

After dinner we walked on the beach. Well John and I walked. Lily had once again talked John into letting her sit on his shoulders, and he gave in. I remember back while we was in high school I would do the same thing. Except for me it was always piggy back rides. It wasn't long before we made it back to our condo. I had given Lilly her bath and was getting her ready for bed while John took his shower.

"Mommy, do you love John?" Lily asked me.

To be honest, I wasn't really surprised to hear my daughter ask me that. Every since John came back into town, we spent almost every day together. If he wasn't at our house for dinner and a movie, we was over at his. Or going somewhere.

"It's complicated baby." I said kissing her forehead. "But yes I do." I said to to her.

"Do you think John loves us?" she asked me.

I honestly wished that I could answer that. I was pretty sure that he loved Lily, there was no other possible explanation other than that for the way he treats her. But I also didn't want to get her hopes up about John. If I learned anything from my past with him, is to never get your hopes up.

"I do." I heard John say from the door way.

I turned to see him looking at us both. I couldn't read what he was thinking and irritated me.

"I love you to John." Lily said before finally closing her eyes and drifting to sleep.

I knew from experience not to leave until I knew Lily was fast asleep. But since we had a long day today, it didn't nearly half as long for to out than usual. While in the living room, I couldn't help but pase back and forth. Not sure what to say to him. I didn't know if I should hope that he heard me tell Lily that I love John or not. On one hand I hoped he had heard and maybe he felt the same way, but then on the other, if he didn't feel the same way, there was no way I could stay here, with John, for the whole two months.

"So do you really love me, or did you just say that for Lily's sake?" he asked looking at me.

I looked him up and down. Not sure how the John that I remembered, the skinny boy, could turn into the John he was now, in 5 years. But I wasn't bitching. He was perfect now more than ever.

"Kelly please." he pleaded with me. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he truly did want to know. And that look gave me hope.

"I really meant it John." I said to him. "I know that you never expected this and neither did I, and I'm sorry." I said to him but was cut off by his lips.

I couldn't help but feel myself giving in to his kiss. This one was so much better than the one we had earlier. I didn't know if it was ebcause I had just told him that I really did love him or what. I didn't know what to think when he once again pulled away.

"I love you to." he said resting his forhead against mine. "I never stopped loving you Kelly. Even while I lived aross the country, your the only person I wished was there with me. Your reason I came home. I love you so much Kelly. And Lily to." he added.

I felt the tears in my eyes start to form, but John wiped them away before the fell down my face.

"Why are you crying?" he asked with a bit of a chuckle.

"Because I never expected any of this." I said to him.

"Marry me." he said to me.

I just stood there and looked at him. I watched as he took a step back from me and nelt down on one knee. I put my hand up over my mouth to keep me from screaming as he pulled out a red velvet box and opened it. I felt the tears in my eyes once again as I looked at the ring. It was same ring that I had always wanted.

"I wasn't planning on doing this tonight, but after hearing you tell me that you love me, I couldn't wait. So will do you do me the honor of marrying me? Letting me be a father to Lily and our own children." he said to me.
