I re-wrote this one about three times, I think it is how I want it to be. Thank you for all of the Reviews!

"He's ten years older Elle, are you sure you are ready for a relationship?" I sighed and shook my head. Ever since I told my mother John and I have been seeing each other on a more romantic level she has been lecturing me. She doesn't disapprove because she does like John, but she believes I am not emotionally ready to date him. My mother always thought I was always so emotional when I grew up, honestly as I look back at it now, I agree. I sought attention and by being emotional the way I was I got it. I have grown a lot since high school, I am not a child anymore, but I get where she see's ten years as a large age difference. He was born in nineteen seventy seven, I was born nineteen eighty seven. It is a huge age gap, but age doesn't matter, the connection between the two people is what counts.
"Mom, I understand the age difference. It doesn't matter to us. John is an amazing guy and things are going so well between us." I picked up the left over favors and threw them into a plastic bag to take home.
"Alright, just be careful with him, I don't want to see you get hurt. You are my baby girl." My mom gave me a large hug and I just smiled.
"I know mom." When I let go I looked at my phone and saw a text from John saying he was going to leave in about twenty minutes. "Mom, I have to go. John is coming over to help baby sit Emma and Charlie." I kissed her cheek and picked up some of Hannah's gifts.
"Okay, tell my little angels I said hi."
"I will, love you!" I yelled to her as I walked down the stairs of the country club we held her baby shower in. I walked out the doors and put the gifts in Hannah's SUV.
"Aunt Elle!" I heard the familiar screech of a little girl and when I turned around I smiled and saw Charlie running toward me. Her long brown hair was now up to her shoulders and she had bangs.
"Oh Charlie you got so big!" I said while picking her up and giving her kisses. She just smiled and held me. Rory came a minute later out of breath.
"Charlie you are getting to fast for me." Her mother said in between breaths and we both laughed as I set her down on the ground.
"That's because I am six now. I am a big girl mommy." She proudly said.
"That's right mommy, she is a big girl." I heard Hannah come around the corner and I smiled to see her carrying Emma who was asleep. I took Emma from her arms and she slept in my shoulder while her mother handed me her bag of toys.
"So what time am I expecting you two tomorrow." I asked directed at my cousin and sister. Hannah and Ryan were going out for a romantic dinner and then some alone time they desperately needed. Rory and Phil are going to go god knows what because Phil will not tell Rory.
"I will be there around nine because Emma has gymnastics tomorrow." Hannah whispered to me and I nodded.
"Yeah I think around nine. Charlie and I are leaving around noon time for the airport. We have a three fifteen flight." After they we said our good bye I took Emma and Charlie too my car and placed Emma in her car seat and buckled Charlie in. I put Childs lock on just to be safe and then I got in the car and started driving to my apartment which was about ten minutes away.
Once we got back Emma was up and very hyper. The girls were playing in the living room and alternated between watching SpongeBob Square Pants and playing with their Barbie dolls. I on the other hand was making dinner. They wanted Mac and cheese, but I did not have the artificial kind, so I was making homemade Mac and cheese with organic food. If I cook, which is whenever I am home, I only eat organic food, but since I am on the road all the time, it is hard to eat organically, so I have adapted, but organic food has more of a real flavor to it.
I was in the middle of grating parmesan cheese when there was a knock on the door. The girls stopped playing and watched me while I answered it. John stood there with a small smile on his face and a small bouquet of pink and yellow Gerber daises. He also had a small gift bag with him.
"You don't have to bring me flowers all the time. You just got me some last night. Thank you though, they are beautiful." I gave him a small peck and I opened the door up more so he could come in. "Emma, look who's here." When she saw John her face lit up and she ran as fast as she could to him and he picked her up and gave her a hug before putting her down.
"Hi Emma, I have a surprise for you." He pulled out a white bear with a pink stomach and handed it to her. She took it and gave it a large squeeze.
"Thanks Johnny." I saw Charlie making her way over here and I smiled.
"Charlie, come on honey." She fastened her step and when she got over here I picked up the little girl who was getting heavier every time I saw her. "Charlie this is my friend John. John, this is my cousin's daughter Charlie." She smiled and waved before she hid in my shoulder. He pulled out a stuffed tiger with bright green eyes and she took it and a large grin came on her face.
"Thank you for the tiger, her eyes are just like mine." Her emerald green eyes were mesmerized upon the tiger. I put her down and her and Emma went to play with the stuffed animals John got them.
"You didn't have to get them anything. You didn't even know Charlie." I grabbed his hand and brought him into the kitchen as I held my flowers in the other hand.
"I know, but I was going to get one for Emma and I remember you told me you were babysitting your cousin's child as well and I couldn't bring her something without bringing Charlie something too. So who are Charlie's parents?" Oh that's right, he doesn't know about Rory and Charlie.
"Oh, umm, Rory is her mother, the father died the day she was born." His face instantly became confused and I just smiled and tried to explain while I put the flowers in a vase. "Well Charlie got pregnant when she was twenty, in her third trimester her boyfriend proposed, that same week she went into labor early, then her water broke and she had Charlie. Since nothing was prepared for her at home her fiancé went to prepare the nursery. There was a kid texting while driving, hit his car, her world just about ended. She named her after him. His name was Charles Joseph, her name is Charlie Josephine. She is her world, that's why she lives in St. Louis, that's where he lived his whole life; they were going to move down there after she was born. Anyway, please don't tell Phil, people judge her for getting pregnant so young, she really likes Phil." He nodded and smiled.
"Her secret is safe with me. Brooks would understand though." I sighed and finished preparing the meal for them.
"Yeah I know, but it's her call." I just put the food in the oven and John came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck. I shut my eyes and smiled and I just wanted to stay in this moment forever. I turned around and looked into his eyes before he kissed me and it was a little more passionate then we have ever kissed before. His hands began to wander and I cut it off there.
"There are children in the other room John." I whispered before kissing his lips one last time.
"You are just so amazing though, but I guess we have to stop." I nodded and smiled. "I would do anything for you; I want you to know that."
"Really?" He nodded and I just smiled. "Set the table for me then?" He chuckled a little and went into the cabinet and got the bowls out.
"Emma, Charlie, can you please clean up your toys, its dinner time." I heard a little fuss but then I heard them cleaning up and they were moving around the living room. I grabbed a few glasses and placed milk in two and water in the other two. I set them on the table and grabbed the food out of the oven. As I was placing it in their bowls Emma made a face.
"Aunty Ellie, this look yucky. Why it have green?" She asked and I saw John laughing at the three year olds sour face.
"Just try it for me, I promise it's good." Charlie took a bite and smiled before eating more, Emma didn't have any until John tried it and kept eating.
"This good Aunty!" She exclaimed as she stuffed her mouth with more. The macaroni had some spinach in it and it was very healthy for them, that is one was to hide a vegetable that is still good for them. After dinner I got the girls ready for bed and they were passed out by eight. John was helping me clean up; I knew this was the time where I had to talk to John about Liz. She did break into his house last night, she kind of ruined an amazing night, I hope what she had to talk about was important.
"So John, what time did Liz leave last night?" He stopped what he was doing and paused for a minute before continuing.
"Um, about forty minutes after you left." That was it; he wasn't going to tell me what they were talking about.
"Why did she brake into your apartment? What did she want to talk about, it looked pretty important." I put the glass dish away and leaned against the counter.
"Yeah it was pretty important." Seriously I didn't want to pry, but I knew it was something he wanted to talk about. I sighed and went into the living room and sat down on the couch, he sat down next to me a few seconds later and grabbed my hand and intertwined his hand in mine.
"I don't want to pry; it just looks like you want to talk about it. I understand that we are taking things slow but when things upset you this much, I don't want to not talk about it. It isn't good to keep things in and I just want everything to be okay, because if things aren't oka-" He cut me off and blurted out words I didn't think could have any impact on my life.
"Liz is pregnant, with my baby."
Soo what did you think? Please review, reviews are what keeps me going!
