Two chapters in one day because you guys are awesome! xx
But I have to address a review:
"Whats with Ana asking Teddy "Are you down" what is she black, is she from the hood." - Umm, excuse me? This is probably the most ignorant thing I've read in a while and actually a bit racist.. So only black people say "are you down"? Only people from the hood? Are you shitting me right now? It's a phrase everyone uses. My white friends use it, my hispanic ass uses it, every other damn race uses it. No matter where they're from. Don't say ignorant things like that.
Christian POV
Kids have way too much energy. Phoebe has had me playing games and dancing with her for the past two hours.
"Oh Christian!" She pulls my hand. "I'm having so much fun thank you for coming."
"It's been my pleasure. One more hour and we head home"
"Aww really?" She asks and I nod.
"Okay okay come on let's dance again"
"You have way too much energy" I laugh
"I just like to dance" she smiles "come on" she pulls my hand and we head to the dance floor. I hold her hand and twirl her around while she dances. I pick her up and swing her around and she laughs.
"I'm getting dizzy" I tell her laughing while I set her down.
"One more time pleasssseeee"
"Alright come on" I pick her up and spin her around.
When I'm done spinning her I dance with her for a while more. I pick her up and hold out my phone telling her we should take a picture. She wraps her arms around my neck really tight and smiles really big closing her eyes. I snap the picture and she tells me I'm cool. I laugh and tap her nose putting her down.
She really is a cutie pie.
Ana POV.
Teddy and I have made cupcakes and cooked diner. He seemed proud to have helped me cook.
"Are daddy and Phoebe getting here soon?"
"Yeah, any minute now." I tell him.
"Good. I'm hungry."
"I did say you can eat early!" I laugh.
"No no I wanted to wait for dad and Phoebe."
"Fine"
"Ana, Phoebe was really sad on Wednesday." He tells me. "The moment said the daddy-daughter dance she got sad."
"I know sweetie." I look at him.
"I kept hugging her but it didn't work"
"I'm sure she appreciated that though" I sit him on my lap.
"I told her she can take you because you're a great mommy but she said no it's fine."
"She told me the same thing but I understand how she feel"
"I'm happy my dad took her because he's a great daddy and he's fun even though he can be a grumpy man" I laugh and shake my head "he can get grumpy. I find it funny."
"I would like to witness that"
The knock on the door interrupts our convo.
"That's them," he says.
I go and open the door and let them in.
"Hi you two, had fun?"
"Oh yeah mommy it's was a lot of fun! We danced and played games and we won a dance completitition."
"Phoebe, it's competition" I say smiling
"Christian show her the ribbons!" Phoebe says and Christian takes out the ribbon out the suit pocket.
"Show her the picture too!"
"I am I am" he hands me her ribbon and a photo they took.
Phoebe is covering her face slightly as if she didn't want her photo taken but she's smiling. Christian is looking down at her with his eyebrow raised and a sword pointed at the camera. He has a crown on and so does Phoebe.
This is beyond adorable.
"We were clearly the best dancers there" Christian says and Phoebe nods in agreement.
"Alright Phoebe let's get you changed. Actually go take another quick shower. Diners ready." I says.
"Oh diner? You cooked." Christian asks.
"Ana and I cooked. I helped a lot! We made red velvet cupcakes too!"
"Oh really?" Christian asks him and he nods.
"Come on Phoebe"
I enter the bathroom with her and take her dress off and put her hair in a high bun then I let her get in the shower.
I head into her room and grab some PJ's and underwear. I wait for her to finish and help her get dressed. I normally let her do it on her own because she says she's big girl but she takes forever.
Phoebe and I walk back to the boys and we see them talking.
"Hello gentlemen," I say "Teddy want to help me set up the table?"
He nods and walks to me. I look at Christian and he's all relaxed on my couch. He took his suit jacket off and rolled up his sleeves. His arms are really doing something to me.
Teddy and I set the table and serve the food. Phoebe grabs Christian telling him it's time to eat.
We're all sitting on the table eating and Phoebe is telling me every single thing they did. My baby girl had a great time and I'm forever grateful Christian did this for her.
Everyone cleans out their plate and beg for cupcakes. Go on over to the kitchen and bring a cupcake for each person.
"You and Ana did a great job with food and dessert." Christian tells Teddy.
"Thanks dad. I had a lot of fun helping Ana. I did all my homework too."
For the rest of the night we spend it talking and having fun.
Around 10pm Phoebe and Teddy both end up falling asleep on the couch.
"You know you just made that little girls year for taking her today" I tell Christian as I sit on his lap.
"I'm glad I did. I had a really great time." He tells me leaving a small kiss on my lips. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Not sure, why?"
"I wanted a day for just us two. We need to time to ourselves you know"
He's right.
"Hmm.. I see what I can't do. I know Kate wouldn't mind taking Phoebe for the day.
"I can tell Elliot to take Teddy. He wouldn't mind. And since I know he'll be with Kate. Teddy and Phoebe can spend the day together. I can assure you that with Elliot around they'll have fun he's a kid himself" Christian jokes.
"Alright. I'll call Kate in the morning."
"I'll do the same with Elliot. I have to get going." we both get up and look at the kids. He gently picks up Teddy and I hand him his book bag.
"See you tomorrow" I say walking him to the door. "And thank you for what you did."
"I'd do it again" he smiles and I get on my toes to kiss him.
"Goodnight and drive safely."
"Goodnight Ana."
I close the door and go take Phoebe to her bed. I kiss her forehead and let her sleep.
Saturday comes and the first thing I do is call Kate. I ask her is she can watch Phoebe. She then begins to interrogate me.
Apparently Christian already contacted Elliot asking if he can stay with Teddy. So Kate is putting the pieces together.
I didn't lie I told her I'll be with Christian and she squealed so loud my ear was hurting. She was excited to see me getting back out there. I would be lying if I said I want excited.
I'm glad that I'm actually getting back out there. I'm only 22 I think I deserve to find myself a man.
I wake up Phoebe and get her ready for the day. The moment I tell her she'll be spending the day with Kate she got up quickly. She wanted to wear her black and red polka dot dress with her black sweater and red sandals. She asked me to put her hair up as well.
Kate comes over and pick up Phoebe and they leave for the day. I let Kate know to call me if anything and she lets me know they'll be fine.
I am now getting dressed. Christian text me letting me know he'll be over in about 20 minutes.
I leave my hair down and wear light jeans with gray flats and a gray knitted swear with my sleeves rolled up.
For my makeup I put on eyeliner, mascara and light pink lipstick.
Keeping it simple.
When I hear a knock on my door I grab my bag and head over to open.
"Ready?" Christian asks.
"Yeah," I close and lock the door. Then walk out with him.
"You look beautiful, as always."
"Thank you," I smile. "Where are we going?"
"I was thinking we could have lunch then go on my boat to relax."
"Sounds great."
He opens the car door for me and I step in.
He takes me a restaurant near by and we eat lunch. He starts making jokes and I almost spit my drink out. Lunch was definitely interesting.
After that we head over to his boat. When we arrive we walk over holding hands and he helps me in. We put our life vests on and he takes us into the water.
It's a beautiful day. Even though the sun is out its very breezy but it feels good.
"Ana," he pulls me to his lap. "You know I'm attracted to you, right?"
"As I am to you." I nod.
"Maybe we should really try to pursue a relationship. We already act like a couple" he kisses my cheek.
"That's true,"
"We can keep it to ourselves until we're ready to tell everyone."
"That's fine with me" I look at him.
"You made my son happy yesterday by letting him help you cook and bake"
"You made my daughter happy by taking her to the dance"
"Look at that we're perfect" he jokes and gives me a kiss. "He woke up this morning gushing about how fun it was to cook with you and that you should give me some cooking lessons. He said he wants to cook with you again. He also said that you made him practice his name more after he finished his homework."
"I did, you can never get enough practice. He's getting good at writing his name. He just needs a bit more help with the E's. Phoebe is the same way. Her E's don't look like E's." I chuckle.
"Phoebe is a wild one, she danced the whole night!"
"She loves to dance and sing. Does it all the time."
"Yeah I noticed." He laughs. "She looked too cute last night. It was nice seeing her smile."
"It was nice seeing her happy. I do owe you." I lay my head on his shoulder. "I'm doing her a big birthday party. She only turns five once. You would think she's turning 15 not 5 by the way she acts." I laugh. "I know her birthday is about two months away but you know, I want to do this for her."
"She'll love it."
"I knows" I stand up "you know, besides my dad, your the only male she's ever had in her life. Or even let in. She really likes you."
"I feel special."
I giggle and kiss him.
"Let's go down," he says taking my hand and leading me down. He then pulls me close to me and kisses me hard placing his hands on my hips. I wraps my arms around his neck pressing my body on his. He leads me to the small couch and he sits setting me on top of him. "I like kissing you"
"So do I if it leads to me straddling you," I smirk.
He kisses my cheek then attacks my neck. I grind my hips a bit making him groan. I smile at myself.
He bites my neck lightly so I grind again.
"Stop it," he groans.
"I'm a grown women I do as I please" I joke.
"That means turning me on?"
"Absolutely" I nod.
"I'm keeping you,"
"Oh really?" I fold my hands.
"Absolutely." He nods mimicking me and I laugh.
The rest of the time on the boat consist of us making out and chatting about the most random things. We even talked about monkeys.
Monkeys!
Around 3pm we get back to the shore and we decide to walk around. He doesn't let go of my hand the whole time.
Which I'm not complaining about.
We buy ice cream and sit at a bench eating it and talking. My nose get getting dirty with the ice creams and Christian kept making fun of me.
Another hour goes by and we decide to go for a ride. Christian drives us by some huge house and I stare out in awe.
Wow.
They're beautiful.
"Beautiful houses, right?" He asks and I nod. "I've been looking at some of these."
"You have?"
"Yeah, I want Teddy to grow up in an actual home. Where he can go out to the backyard and play."
"That would be great for him." I smile.
He nods.
Christian POV.
Truth is I've been looking at these houses because not only would I love to have Teddy grow up in a home like that but I want actually have a family. I want more kids.
Phoebe and Ana are the ones to blame.
I had a great time with Phoebe last night. Making her smile and laugh made me feel warm inside. To know that I made that little girl happy made me happy.
I want more kids.
At least two more.
I've never thought about having more kids. Never crossed my mind. Theodore was all I needed. He's my everything. My son. I love him.
But I love being a dad.
I want to be a dad to more kids. I want to go trough the baby stages again the toddler stages. I want to hear baby's first word again.
Spending time with Phoebe made me realize how I want a daughter.
For fucks sake it felt like she was my daughter.
I look over at Ana and she's smiling looking out the window. I grab her hand and squeeze it.
I'm definitely keeping this one.
