Lulu had just gotten out of the shower when her cell phone rang, "Hello."
"Hi Lulu, it's Carly I was wondering if you could watch Jocelyn for me today?"
"Oh of course. I'd love to see my goddaughter."
"Thank you so much."
"I'm over at Dante's new place," Lulu said as she gave Carly the directions.
Carly dropped off Jocelyn who was still fast asleep in her car seat, "She'll probably sleep most of time. But here's her diaper bag there's some bottles in there and some toys, diapers everything you might need. Call me if you have any problems."
"Carly, we'll be fine." Lulu assured her as she shut the door and took Jocelyn into the bedroom. She placed her car seat on the bed and left the room quietly.
Sitting on the couch Lulu turned on the tv with the volume on low so she could hear the baby if she woke up and waited for Dante to come home.
A few hours later
Lulu looked up as Dante came in the front door, "Hey baby."
"Hey yourself," she replied with a smile as he came to greet her.
"I missed you." Dante said as he leaned in to kiss her.
"I missed you too, but..."
Dante pulled her closer and captured her lips with his, pushing her gently backward onto the couch as he tangled his hands in her honey-colored hair. "Mmm, Dante." Lulu tried to explain about the baby in the other room but his hands were traveling down her leg and she was losing track of what she wanted to say.
Just then they heard Jocelyn's cries coming from the bedroom, "Um Lulu, is there something you want to tell me." Dante said jokingly.
"Haha, very funny." Lulu said as she got up from the couch to go get Jocelyn. "I was trying to tell you, Carly asked if we could watch her for the day."
Dante reached out to touch the baby's tiny hand and felt her grip his finger. "She's so cute." Dante said as Lulu handed him the baby.
Dante held her close to his chest, "Hey." Dante said cooing to the little girl.
"You are gonna make a great dad someday."
"Really, You think?"
"I know so." Lulu grabbed the diaper bag from beside the couch and handed him a diaper, "And you can start now, by changing her diaper."
"What why me?" he asked.
"Cause i wanna see if you know how." Lulu replied with a grin.
"Of course I know how I have younger cousins. Do you know how?"
"Of course who do you think changed her last two diapers."
"Alright, alright." Dante said as he placed the baby on the diaper pad and began changing her diaper. "There ya go, all clean."
Dante lifted the baby up off the floor and held her up in front of his face. Lulu watched as Dante began to make faces at the infant, which caused her to smile and giggle. "You like that Jocelyn? Lulu cooed to the baby as she watched Dante continue to make the baby laugh. "He's so funny isn't he."
Just then they heard a knock at the door and Lulu jumped up from the couch to see who it was. "Hi Carly," Lulu said as Dante got up as well.
"Thank you guys so much for watching her."
"No problem." Lulu said as she took the car seat from Dante. "She really seems to like Dante, he was making her laugh.
After Carly had left Lulu sat on the couch next to Dante, "You were great with her."
"So were you," Dante replied leaning in to kiss her.
"Um...Dante I need to tell you something."
"Ok."
"Earlier I know you were just joking when you heard the baby cry and asked if there was something I wanted to tell you."
"Yeah." Dante said wondering what she was about to say.
"Well it made me think of something from my past and I think I should tell you about it now. When I was a teenager I got pregnant and I wasn't ready to be a parent. I wasn't the same person I am now, I was much more immature and..."
"Go on."
"I had an abortion." Lulu said hoping he could accept what she had done.
"I understand, I mean you did what was right for you at the time." Dante replied as he took Lulu's hand in his.
"Your not mad?" she asked near tears.
"Of course not, I love you Lulu and I will always love you no matter what you did." He said as he pulled her into his arms and started rubbing her back soothingly.
"You will be a wonderful mother to our kids one day Lulu, when the time is right." Dante said with a smirk.
"Really, you think we'll have kids together?" Lulu said as she pulled away to look into his eyes.
"Well not if we keep being interrupted." Dante said which caused them both to laugh.
The Next Day
"Hey are you busy tonight?" Lulu asked Dante.
"Never too busy for you." Dante said with a grin.
"I was thinking maybe we could have a movie night together," Lulu replied as she switched files from one pile to the next.
"Sure that sounds great."
"Alright I'll see you later tonight then."
"See ya." Dante replied as he hung up the phone.
Lulu showed up right after work, Dante smiled as he saw her getting out of the elevator. "Hey baby," Dante said as he leaned in to kiss her.
"What's all this?" Lulu asked looking at the coffee table which held a wide variety of snacks and candies.
"Well you said you wanted a movie night, you can't have a movie night without the right snacks."
Lulu laughed as she took a seat on the couch and pulled a stack of movies out of her bag, "Whatcha got here?" he asked as he looked through the stack.
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning, 27 Dresses, Casablanca, The Notebook, The Haunting," Dante read through some of the titles.
"Sorry I don't know what kind of movies you like," Lulu said with a laugh.
"Well I can see you like romance and horror."
"Yeah."
"so I take it you're not one of those girls that cowers and covers her eyes when the scary parts come on?" he asked.
"Nope, definitely not."
"Darn and I was hoping I would have to hold you during one of those movies."
"You don't need an excuse to hold me," Lulu replied as she leaned in to kiss his lips.
