Chapter 35 - New feelings

Kate POV

Months had passedand my things were more on Rick's apartment than in mine but honestly i don't care. If a year ago you would tell me that now I would be dating my favorite writer, love him more than I ever loved someone and living most of the time in his house I wouldn't have believed but life changes and mine changed a lot.

Rick is at home probably writing or at least I hope because he's really close to a deadline and even if his new publisher is more calm with that I still talk to him so he deliver his new book on time.

Alexis all this months has been even more close to me than before, if that it's possible, i even heard her call me mommy one night but probably I got that wrong or she just spilled that out because she was tired or said without meaning. Whatever it was I thought i would be scare but I wasn't and im not, I kind of felt something inside me that I never felt before.

Mother's Love

Whatever it was I hope she says again.

In two hours I'm going to get the hell out of here, I will come home to my two favorite persons in the world and have dinner with them and then Rick is going to give me a massage, like he always does, so I can relax after a exhausted day at work.

I couldn't ask for a better family!

I just need to distract myself a little bit more, more precisely one hour and forty five minutes!

*knock knock*

"Come in"

"Hi Katie, how are you?"

"I'm good mom, just a little exhausted but good"

"You seem more happy lately, if you know what I mean" she winked at me.

"Actually I have no idea of what you mean!"

"Oh come on Katie, you and I are both adults we can talk about it no need to be embarrassed by this topic"

"What topic? What it's going on?"

"I can see in your eyes Katie!"

"You can see what?"

"Okay I'm cutting the crap! I can see the glow in your eyes baby, you and Rick finally decided to join your bodies and become just one!"

"What?!"

What the fuck that even means?

"You guys seal the envelope!"

"What?"

"Gosh Katie! What I'm trying to ask is did you guys finally went to bed and jumped into each other like rabbits or not ?"

"Oh my gosh mom!"

"What? I try to be subtle but you didn't understand anything I said that I had to go to the point! It was not my fault!"

"Gosh mom I wouldn't have expected you saying that!"

"You know i already went through that phase right?"

"Yeah, yeah I know! And thank god nobody heard us or I would be dead now!"

"You still haven't answered"

"What?"

"Answer the question Katie"

"Mom! That's personal I don't ask how many times a week you and dad do it do I ?"

"Three sometimes four a week depends if we have energy to spend—"

"OMG JUST STOP! I don't need to know that! Actually I don't want to know that! Wew just Wew!"

"Oh come on Katie girls talk about this, I just want you to share with me a little bit"

"No!"

"Come on Katie!"

"No!"

"Katie"

"The conversation it's over, I'm going home"

"I will call you!"

"Don't "

"You're right, I don't want to interrupt you and right finding the rabbits hole"

"MOM!"

I'm out, I'm definitely out of here!

What the hell is wrong with her?

Shit I will never forget this conversation, and it would become worse if I told her that me and Rick haven't had sex yet.
I don't know if I'm ready or not, I just want to be precautious, is that ask to much? Maybe he is already ready and is waiting for me! And maybe he wants to but he doesn't wants to force me to do anything. We really have to talk about that.

After driving for while to make it up the time, I see myself in front of Rick's apartment. Maybe I should just go home or —

The door opens really fast showing a little pumpkin head who is really excited to see me. And this calms my nerves.

"Alexis, you should open the door to strangers. And how did you know it was me?"

"Every time she heard the elevator door open she would open our door to see if it was you" Rick says from the kitchen.

"How many times was?"

"Six" the read head explains.

I drop my coat and take off my shoes to give her a big bear hug, because this crazy but amazing kid was anxious for my arrival and that couldn't make me more happy.

Alexis returns the hug like the little bear she is. I give her an impulse so she can put her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. I feel her smiling while I go to the kitchen to give a little kiss to the chef.

Rick smiles warmly when he sees me and Alexis 'hugging' and gives me a tender kiss on the lips.

"Need any help?"

"No, you can go seat with Alexis on the couch. Dinner will be ready in 15 min"

"Kay, babe"

He looks at me surprise and I wink at him. I'm so in love with him and Alexis that I think I'm ready for the future.

I sit with Alexis in the couch and I see her cuddling with me and after the day I had this is the best part.

While we are dining Alexis and Rick seem weird like they want to ask something but they're both afraid of the answer.

"Okay what it is!"

"What?"

"You both are strange right now so whatever it is you know you can tell me"

"Okay. Alexis do you want to be first?"

"No!" She said shaking her head. So they have two questions to make. And apparently one each one.

"So we are dating right?" He asks nervously.

"Yes, we are"

"Okay so I wanted to ask you if you wanted to move in with me?"

Oh that's why he is so nervous!

"Yes Rick, I will move in with you" I said smiling.

"So Alexis it's your turn, sweetie"

"I wanted to ask you if-" she looks so small and so shy right now. This question must be important.

"Go ahead sweetie"

"I wanted to ask if - if I could start to call you mommy?"

I could say that I didn't expect that.

No really!

Not in a million years!

But I actually did because Alexis and I had become an amazing duo. She is the perfect daughter and every time her mother decides no to show up like she had promised I'm always there for Alexis and maybe that is one of the reasons why she is asking me right now.

What should I say? Yes? No? Maybe?

Should I say that she already has a mother? Should I talk with Rick first?

Rick!

When I look at Rick, he looks shy again. Because he already knew! The son of a bitch already knew and that's why they were both so weird! It was impossible that Rick was so nervous because of asking me to move in! He was nervous because now I would be officially Alexis mom, well no officially but on language terms yes I would!

I am ready for this?

Honestly I can say YES!

I see her as my daughter and I could be more happy that she sees me like her mother. Maybe I'm not ready to have a kid of my own but I am ready to "adopt" Alexis at least. So ready!

"Yes Alexis, I would be honored"

The girl let's out a big relief and Rick the same. Both of them were so nervous and I understand and after all I was talking with myself like now and forgot to answer, poor guys!

Alexis worried expressions changed to a happy one and getting out of her chair she came to mind to give me a big hug and a wet kiss.

My smile grew bigger and hers too when I put her on my lap giving her kisses all over her face.

"Great now you are cheating on me with my daughter and I just asked for you to move in, could you wait and do it when I'm not seeing?"

He says pouting and let me say it was the most adorable thing that I ever saw him doing.

"Don't worry babe" I wink "I will make it up for you when we are alone"

The pouting was forgotten has my words left my lips and a smile appeared on his face. I can't believe that this child-man is all mine!

And this beautiful and extraordinary little human is mine too!

"Kate can you cuddle with me on the couch?"

"Sure sweetie let me just help your father—"

"No need Kate, go there and relax with our little girl I will take this" he says with a big smile that almost is too big for his face.

"Are you sure?" He was being amazing but come on a little help could be used!

"Yes! Now go, I will be there in 10 min" he says giving me a kiss a wet one too.

Alexis is already on the couch. She is trying to decide what Disney movie is the best to watch now.

"What do you think?"

"Hmmm... maybe Mulan, I always loved Mulan"

"Okay so Mulan it is, I will put the CD mommy just get comfy" she says walking away to do what she said.

"Okay let me just go to the room and change really quickly."

"Be fast"

"Like a Ferrari honey"

I hear Rick laugh from the kitchen and even if he is cleaning the dishes he is as much as happy as I am!

When I return I see Rick with a bucket of popcorn sitting on the big couch next to Alexis. When they see me Alexis asks her daddy to leave in the most subtle possible way a 5 almost 6 year old can do!

"Daddy get out, me and mommy will be here"

Rick pouts but I know that inside he is having the party of is life.

I lay on the couch with Alexis next to me. She cuddled the best she could and I don't have anything against it.

When Rick looked at me again during the movie he whispered "I want my prize after this" and then he return his attention to the TV, yep I will really make it up to him after all he deserves.
