Not my best, but at least I wrote SOMETHING! Haha. I don't own "Everything" by Michael Buble. I just put it in here cause it's absolutely my FAVORITE song right now.
After that huge fight, everything was amazing between Amy and I. I was still trying to come to terms with how Ava was going to react on that fateful day when we broke the news that Ricky is her real father. I shook my head, trying to get that thought out of my head. I loved Amy, and I loved Ava, so it would all work out for the best.
Amy was at the mall with Madison and Lauren, apparently for some "girl-time." I smiled. She deserved to hang out with her friends like a regular teenager, and even said she didn't want me to go along. "Maybe she's tired of me." I said to myself, jokingly.
I heard Ava cooing through the baby monitor and I smiled, getting off of the couch in the living room and walking into Amy's room.
"What's wrong baby girl?" I asked, picking her up out of the crib. I looked down at her face, and I swear I saw her smile at me. The biggest, most beautiful smile I had ever seen…other than Amy's of course. My cell phone began to ring and I quickly pulled out of my pocket. "It's mommy." I told Ava, acting like she understood what I was saying. I opened my phone and answered.
"I love you."
I heard the smile in her voice. "I love you too, Ben." She laughed a little and I smiled.
"What's up? Are you ok?"
She laughed again. "I'm fine. Just checking up on my baby."
"Oh..I'm just fine." I said jokingly.
"I meant Ava…"
"Oh I know…just humor me, Amy." She was rolling her eyes. I just knew it. "Ava's fine. Just woke up from her nap."
"Oh good. Just checking."
"Amy…"
"Yes, Ben?"
"Stop worrying. She's fine. She's spending some time with Daddy today." I said, grinning.
"Ok…fine. I'll call you when I'm coming home."
"Don't worry about being home, Amy. I mean, of course I want you to come home…but I have bottles to feed her. We're fine. We're having fun."
"Ok. Thank you, Ben."
"You're very welcome. I love you."
"I love you too." And with that, she hung up. I looked down at Ava and smiled. "Mommy worries too much." She just stared up at me with this 'Ok…whatever' look on her face, and I smiled. "An attitude already Miss Ava? You're only 2 months old. Wait for that until you're at least 13."
I fed Ava her bottle, then rocked her to sleep while watching a movie, and sure enough, we both fell asleep.
"Ben…Ben! Wake up!" I opened my eyes, seeing Amy standing above me.
"What time is it?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and yawning.
"About 5:00. Last time I talked to you was 2:00."
"We've been asleep that long?" I asked, quite surprised.
She nodded. "You and Ava both. She's STILL asleep." She laughed, looking at Ava and then back at me again.
"I'm gonna go put her in her crib." She said, taking Ava from my arms, then kissing me gently.
I stayed in the chair until she came back. I moved to the couch, and she sat beside me.
"Did you have fun?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her.
"Of course. Thanks for letting me get out. I needed that."
I smiled. "Anytime."
"You know…if you ever just wanna get out and do stuff with Henry and Alice, I understand. It's perfectly fine, Ben."
"But I want to spend time with you and Ava…"
She chuckled. "I didn't say you couldn't spend time with us. I just meant that if you ever want to get out, you can. Just because we're together doesn't mean you have to spend every waking minute with me."
"Sure it does."
I paused for a minute.
"Can I ask you something?"
She nodded. "Of course."
"Will you dance with me?"
She laughed. "Ben…in the middle of your living room?"
"Why not? I'm trying to be more romantic and spontaneous. You have to give me credit."
She laughed again. "Ok."
I stood up, taking her hand in mine.
"No music, Ben?"
"You underestimate me, woman." I said, walking over to the CD player and started the CD.
"You planned this?"
I nodded. "Just a little reminder to show you how much I love you."
I held her tightly in my arms as we danced, and as I gazed into her eyes, I knew I was the luckiest man alive.
You're a falling star, You're the get-away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.
And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Oh, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
She smiled up at me.
"Really?"
I nodded. "Of course. Nothing less."
She kissed me, then rested her head on my shoulder as she hugged me tighter.
"You're my everything too, Ben. Thank you for rescuing me."
Ugh…I didn't like that chapter at all. Just randomly thought of it, but I wanted to write SOMETHING for you guys, cause I don't like that I haven't updated since Tuesday.
Please review!
Maybe suggestions?
