Chapter 23- Sleeping Beauty
Two Weeks Later….
Two weeks after bringing Aurora home, Paul was packing his stuff to get ready to go back home. "Paul, do you really have to go?" asked Stephanie with a pout. Stephanie was rocking Aurora in her arms as she watched Paul pack his bags. "Sadly, yes babe! I have to get ready for school. You do remember that school starts in two weeks, right?" said Paul as he kept looking around Stephanie's floor, for his clothes. Stephanie nodded. "I remember, it's just…I don't think I am ready to go back to school just yet. I love spending time with you and Aurora as a family. Now we have to go back to that messy school, full of messy girls and boys who think they know everything. I enjoyed these stress free couple of months away from school" said Stephanie as she laid Aurora down in her bouncer. Aurora was sucking on her pacifier as she was falling asleep. Stephanie walked over to Paul and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you and I think you should stay just for one more day. I don't think one more day is going to kill you" said Stephanie with a smirk. Paul took Stephanie's hand and pulled her towards the bed. He sat down and pulled Stephanie on his lap. "I love you too and that's why I just thought of this. Why don't I just stay over for the rest of this week and then leave the week before school starts! I just won't have any time to get back comfortable in my own home and get things ready for Aurora to come and…." Paul rambled on until he was interrupted by Stephanie. "Al 'right al 'right already! You can leave Aurora and me here to suffer the boredom of not having you around!" said Stephanie as she cuddled into Paul. Stephanie then stood up and pushed Paul flat on the bed. She then straddled Paul and began kissing his neck. Paul moaned and began rubbing her back as she switched her focus to his ear. Paul then grabbed Stephanie's hips and made her grind into him. Stephanie moaned at the feeling of his hardness rubbing against her wet panties. Stephanie lifted her face and kissed Paul. They were in a heated make-out session, until Paul pulled away. Stephanie was confused and wondered why he stopped her. "What's wrong, Paul?" asked Stephanie, worried that she did something wrong. "Nothing, it's just…I don't want to start something we can't finish!" said Paul as he sighed. "What do you mean?" asked Stephanie confused as she sat up. "Think about it, Stephanie! I have to wait four more weeks until we can FINISH what was just started" said Paul trying to get Stephanie to understand. Stephanie nodded in understanding and sat next to him on the bed. "You don't like doing the other things we did?" asked Stephanie with a smirk. "I loved them, they just weren't the same. I would take thrusting over bumping and grinding any day!" said Paul with a smirk. "Well, speak for yourself! I would take the exact opposite of that! Reason being, no risk of getting pregnant!" said Stephanie with a small giggle. Paul laughed too and then nuzzled Stephanie's neck, which made her giggle louder. At that moment, Aurora began to whimper and cry. Stephanie smacked Paul's arm. "Ouch! What was that for?" said Paul as he rubbed his arm. Stephanie just shook her head and went to pick up Aurora. "It's ok, baby girl. Daddy didn't mean to wake you" said Stephanie as she kissed Aurora's forehead. Paul looked at Stephanie with disbelief. "I woke her up! I frankly remember you loud giggle the cause of her cries" said Paul with a smirk. Stephanie pinched Paul's arm and laughed as he began to fake cry. "I am going to call social services if you keep causing all this abuse!" said Paul as he and Stephanie laughed hard. Aurora cooed as Stephanie blew into Aurora's belly. Paul loved watching those adorable moments between Stephanie and Aurora. A few moments later, Paul had all his bags packed and was ready to go. "I guess it's time for me to go" said Paul as he rubbed Aurora's hair and kissed her cheek. Stephanie nodded and walked with him to his car. Paul threw his bags in the trunk and then opened his front door. "I enjoyed spending these two weeks with you, baby" said Paul as he caressed Stephanie's cheeks. "I enjoyed spending time with you too! I will probably lay Aurora back down after her feeding and then call Stacy" said Stephanie as she bounced Aurora in her arms. Paul nodded and kissed Stephanie goodbye before getting into his car. Stephanie watched as he drove off. She will hate not having him there with her every waking second. Stephanie walked back into the house and got back to nursing Aurora.
Stephanie was almost knocked out until she heard her parents calling to her that Stacy was there. Stephanie screamed for them to let Stacy in. Stacy walked in tip toeing to Stephanie and hugged her tightly. Stacy then looked around for Aurora. "Where is my baby niece?" asked Stacy excited to see her best friend and Aurora again. Stephanie got out of bed and walked Stacy into Aurora's nursery. "Be very quiet! I just got done putting her to sleep" said Stephanie as she watched Stacy rub Aurora's head. "She is so adorable, Steph! I still can't get over the fact you had a baby!" said Stacy as she walked back over to Stephanie. "I know right! Paul was just here not too long ago. He spent a couple of weeks here with Aurora and me. I still cannot get over the fact we went from dating, to boyfriend and girlfriend, to parents in just two months!" laughed Stephanie. Stacy laughed too as they left Aurora's room. "So, how was you and Paul's sleepover?" asked Stacy curious. Stephanie sat on her bed and picked up one of Aurora's teddy bears on the floor. She held the bear close as she replied. "To be honest, I felt like we were a married couple taking care of a baby. I mean, we didn't get to go out much. We went to the park that we always go to with Aurora and took some pictures there. We also went to his house for a bit and just relaxed there. But other than that, we were being full time parents here. I fed Aurora, burped her and rocked her when she was fussy. Paul also rocked her when she was fussy, changed her diaper and played with her too. We were like a team. Now, I am all on my own in the parenting department" smiled Stephanie as she thought about Paul's time there with her. "That sounds so sweet!" said Stacy as she smiled. "It was, just please don't you have a baby anytime soon!" said Stephanie as she looked at Stacy with a serious face. "I don't think you would have to worry about that. Randy and I broke up. I caught him flirting with this other girl while at one of those Football Poolazzas! He went to the party with me and then abandoned me and got drunk as hell. When I went to ask him to take me home, he was all over some other girl. I yelled at him and he replied 'at least I am not sticking my dick in her!' I know he was drunk, but that doesn't excuse him for saying anything to me so I dumped him. He keeps calling to apologize but I just blow him off and tell him to go to hell. I hate when you think you will be with a person forever, give them all of you, and they just throw it all away for some bull crap! You know what I mean?" said Stacy with a frown. Stephanie nodded and hugged Stacy. "It will be ok! Just know that I am here for you whenever you need me" said Stephanie as she held out her arms for a hug. Stacy eagerly accepted and they lied down on Stephanie's bed continuing their girl talk.
At Levesque Household
Paul walked into his house after just leaving Stephanie's home. As he walked in, his parents attacked him with questions about Aurora. "Paul, is that you? How is our baby granddaughter? How was your time with her? Was she any trouble? When is she coming over?" asked both of Paul's parents. "Aurora is fine, mom and dad. Spending time with her was great. Aurora was a perfect angel. She barely cried at all and we will get her next week. Is the nursery cleaned and ready for her?" asked Paul as he made his way to the stairs. "Yes son, we had it prepared the moment she came out the hospital. Also, her outfits are put away and in the dressers, so Stephanie doesn't need to send any clothes along with Aurora" said Paul Sr. Paul nodded and continued to his room. He lied on bed in deep thought until his cell phone began blasting Motorhead. "Hello" said Paul answering the phone. "Hey man, the last party of the summer is tonight! You in?" asked Randy. "I don't know, man! I think I should skip this one. I might have to let go of the parties since I'm a dad now" said Paul as he thought about Aurora. "Really, man! Come on, Paul! Aurora will be there when you get back. Is she even staying with you right now?" asked Randy hoping Paul would come to the party with him. Randy didn't have Stacy and he needed someone to feel the void. Paul thought about if he should go or not. He promised Stephanie that he would get rid of his old ways. Partying was definitely part of his past. Maybe if he didn't party so hard, it wouldn't count as going back to his old ways. "Ok, Randy! But if I go, I will not do anything extreme! A couple of drinks and dancing and I'm gone!" said Paul as he looked for his car keys. "Cool! See you there. By the way, this is the last party of the summer. I don't think letting loose one last time is going to hurt" said Randy. "FINE! I will go and have the time of my life for ONE and I mean ONE last time!" screamed Paul over the phone as he was getting frustrated with Randy's begging. "Thanks man! I promise you won't regret it!" said Randy with a smile. "Let's hope so" said Paul as he sighed and got ready for the party. As time went by and he was getting ready to leave for the party, Paul kissed looked at his phone's wallpaper of Aurora and Stephanie, and kissed his phone. "I will be back to you both, soon" said Paul as he kissed his wallpaper, put his phone in his pocket and walked out the door and to where the night led him.
