Chapter 45

DIGGY'S P.O.V.

*that night*

Diggy- *brushes Sia's hair*

Sia- *squirms* Ow daddy! *rubs her head*

Diggy- *stops and rubs her head* Sorry baby..

Jermaine- *walks in* Aw, daddy on his duty. Why aren't you with Y/N?

Diggy- *mumbles* She doesn't want me *ties up Sia's hair* She wants to focus on her and Malik

Sia- *looks at him* Who's Malik?

Diggy- *pauses* Your baby brother

Sia- *smiles and widens her eyes* I have a baby brother?!

Diggy- Yeah you do..

Sia- Where is he?

Diggy- Baby, he's at the hospital.. they gotta watch him for a while before he goes home

Sia- Is he gonna live with us?

Diggy *looks at her* *looks at Jermaine* I don't know..

Jermaine- Sia, I gotta talk to daddy real quick..

Sia- But I wanna see my baby brother

Jermaine- *pics her up and kisses her cheek* Tomorrow, I promise.. you gotta get to bed

Sia- *pouts* Okay.. *hugs Diggy* Goodnight daddy.. *runs upstairs*

Diggy- *puts his head in his hands*

Jermaine- She stressing you?

Diggy- Not Sia

Jermaine- I wasn't talking about Sia..

Diggy- *looks up at him*

Jermaine- You said you wanted to spend your life with her, so make it happen.

Diggy- What don't you understand Jermaine?! She doesn't want me. Not me, she wants someone else..

Jermaine- *blinks* Did she say that?

Diggy- *sighs* No.. but. It's not me she has feelings for. She said not now.

Jermaine- Not.. now. Meaning at some point she will. You gotta wait it out. Keep trying cause at least you got through to her.

Diggy- *takes a deep breath*

Jermaine- It's gonna take time, but you gotta keep trying Diggy. I know she loves you

Diggy- *throws his hand sup* Why does everybody else keep saying that but her?! Her sister, cousin, you.. Spin!

Jermaine- Then they must be right. The people closest to her know her well. And you know Y/N. She'll show her emotions through her actions.. but her words are the shield. She'll only say things to protect herself from getting hurt

Diggy- *pauses and glances at him*

Jermaine- You know I'm right. Cause if she's been.. kissing you and willing to spend time with you, but she says she doesn't need you.. *chuckles* She's a really bad liar... all women are. I bet when I see her and I look in her eyes, she's gonna crumble at the mention of your name.

Diggy- *gets up and walks out*

Jermaine- *confused* Where you goin?

Diggy- *turns around* I need to lie down, this is all too much right now man. I can't take this confusion and her playing games with me. I don't play games.. *leaves*

*the next morning*

JERMAINE'S P.O.V.

Jermaine- *carries the baby in the house*

Casey- *puts her hand over her phone and waves* *mouths hi*

Jermaine- *nods at her*

Casey- *goes back to her phone call*

Y/N- *walks in the house* *drops the baby bags* *looks at the stuff on the stairs* Case? *looks in the living room*

Casey- *motions to her phone call* *signals you to be quiet*

Y/N- *whispers* Who are these from?

Casey- *shakes her head* *talks through her conversation*

Y/N- *rolls her eyes* *goes through all the bags and gifts*

Jermaine- Someone's popular..

Y/N- All these gifts.. how did.. my boss and everyone find out?

Jermaine- The label must have heard..

Y/N- That's so sweet.

Jermaine- Thank Diggy.

Y/N- *glances at him*

Jermaine- *sighs* (your initial) I know everything.

Y/N- Who told yo..

Jermaine- Nobody had to. *looks at Malik sleeping* I just knew for a long time. 

Y/N- Well, I'm not saying anything right now *carries him to the living room* *puts his carrier down and walks in the kitchen* *opens the pantry*

Jermaine- *sighs and follows you* It's killing him you know.. he feels so much for you and you won't let him show you

Y/N- *closes the pantry* Because I have other priorities now. I can't deal with Diggy. I don't need that stress.

Jermaine- *holds your hand* Look at me..

Y/N- *looks at him*

Jermaine- I know you. Very well Y/N. If Diggy doesn't then I do. And I know right now that it terrifies you that he could be the one. It could all go right. Why are you so scared?

Y/N- *slowly pulls away* I just.. it's me. I'm scared of being played while I'm being loyal. I'm so, so scared.

Jermaine- He has a daughter.. you both have a son! He's got no time to be playing games with anybody for their sake.. and he's so in love with you and you feel the same..

Casey- *looks over* Guys, come on, I'm on the phone!

Jermaine- Come, we're going..

Y/N- No, I have to stay with my son, we just got home Jermaine..

Malik- *wakes up and starts crying*

Y/N- Oh God.. *walks over to him*

Casey- *puts the phone down* Is this gonna work? Cause I can't with a baby and the crying Y/N.. I know it happens but..

Y/N- *picks him up* Case, I'll try to make this work, I swear *bounces Malik on her shoulder*

Casey- It's just that if it's too noisy, I'm gonna have to go back to my place and handle my work you know? I got phone calls and clients and..

Y/N- *shakes her head* No, no Case, I really need you here.. to help with Malik and everything, I can't do this on my own.. 

Casey- And Evie and Jermaine are gonna go back to New York soon, what you gonna do when they're gone?

Y/N- I.. I really don't know. And I gotta work too and all... *worriedly bites her lip*

Jermaine- *looks at you both* You seriously kidding right now?

Y/N- *looks at him* I'm really not joking...

Jermaine- You don't know anybody that can help you?

Y/N- *tries to think and quieten Malik's crying* *shakes her head* I can't.. I think I really have to feed him... *walks to the couch*

Jermaine- *looks at Casey*

Casey- *folds her arms* Who you thinking of?

Jermaine- Malik's daddy.

Casey- *smiles* That's amazing to bring them to..

Jermaine- Shh.. I really need Evie to help me with this. You go back to work and move back home with an excuse... that's the first step.

Casey- Easy.

*a few days later*

YOUR P.O.V.

Casey- *brings her case to the front door*

Y/N- *pouts*

Casey- *turns to you* Stop with that face, it's not cute

Y/N- I'm sad! I don't want you to leave me cuz..

Casey- I'm a call away. And 20 minutes too *chuckles* Evie's gonna be here for one more day..

Y/N- I know..

Casey- She said she's got someone to help you out

Y/N- She better.. *walks in the living room*

*a while later*

Evie- *walks in the house* I'm back!

Y/N- *walks to the door and stops*

Diggy- *smiles briefly at you* Wow, Y/N, you look good after having a baby..

Y/N- *blinks at him* *looks at Evie* What's he doing here?

Evie- He just complimented you and you say that? Wow, I'd hate to be your baby daddy...

Diggy- What? I ain't no baby daddy, never call me that.. I ain't no side nigga

Y/N- *points at his bags* Why does he have bags?

Evie- Y'all are living together.

Y/N- What!?

Diggy- I er, I figured you needed some help with Malik since you'd be here alone. I know newborns can be a lot to handle..

Y/N- *sighs a sharp breath*

Evie- *glares at you* Shut the fuck up, aite? *smirks and walks past you*

Diggy- *looks at you* Where is he?

Y/N- He's sleeping upstairs.. 

Diggy- *walks upstairs*

Y/N- *follows Evie* Excuse me, bitch sister...

Evie- *sits down* Wassup

Y/N- What are yo..

Evie- You're gonna do it.

Y/N- *stutters* D-d-do what?

Evie- You're gonna tell him how you feel.

Y/N- No, please not n..

Malik- *cries upstairs*

Y/N- *pauses and raises her eyebrow* Did he wake him up? *stands up and goes upstairs*

Evie- *rubs her hands together* Perfect. *goes to the kitchen then follows you*

DIGGY'S P.O.V.

Y/N- *walks in Malik's room*

Diggy- *cradles and bounces Malik rhythmically* *tries to sing to him*

Y/N- *stops at the door and smiles at them both*

Diggy- *turns around and sees you* I don't know what I did.

Y/N- *sighs and reaches her hands out*

Diggy- *passes Malik to you*

Malik- *cries louder*

Y/N- Shh... *soothingly* Alright honey... did daddy wake you up? Did he disturb you in your sleep? *makes faces at Malik*

Diggy- *chuckles at you both* Y'all look so cute..

Malik- *cries start to quieten*

Y/N- *almost whispering* I think you're just a little hungry, that's all...

Evie- *walks in and smiles in the doorway* Auntie Evie to the rescue.. *hands you a bottle* It's already warm for you

Y/N- Thank you so much.

Diggy- Can.. I feed him?

Evie- *hands him the bottle* Sure.

Diggy- *takes Malik from you* *sits in the rocking chair and feeds him*

Evie- *gives you a stern look* *pats your arm* You know what to do.. *walks out and closes the door a little*

Y/N- *takes a deep breath* Daniel.. can I talk to you?

Diggy- Yeah, yeah...

Y/N- *sits on the floor beside Diggy* I um.. I need to confess something..

Diggy- Wait.. are you paying games with me?

Y/N- *looks up at him* What? No, I'd never do that..

Diggy- Because.. it's weird how I'll kiss you and you'll feel everything, but when I tell you I want you, you back off

Y/N- I'm just.. *sighs* alright, I admit this. *looks him in the eyes* I'm really, really in love with you. I am, I just.. *struggles to make a sentence* *stops and sighs*

Diggy- *leans down and kisses you deeply* *pulls away after seven seconds*

Y/N- *licks her lips* I er..

Diggy- You liked that kiss.

Y/N- *chuckles* But this is the thing, I am so, so scared of being hurt by you again. I can't put my trust in you th..

Diggy- Y/N, you can. You're the only priority I have right now. You, Malik and Sia. I wanna take care of you all.

Y/N- *smiles a little* Yeah..

Diggy- I don't wanna rush into anything right away.. but I wanna make a start with us. Can I please do that with you?

Y/N- *looks at Malik cooing in his arms* *looks up in Diggy's eyes and smiles* Yeah, you can

Diggy- *smiles* *looks at Malik and bounces him gently*

Y/N- Dig..

Diggy- Yeah? *looks at you* 

Y/N- *kisses him again* *deepens the kiss* 

Diggy- *bites gently on your lip* *breaks the kiss*

Y/N- *smiles and walks out to her bedroom*

Evie- *peeks around the corner* *high fives Casey*

Casey- Finally..

Evie- Told y'all I can do it.

*later that day*

YOUR P.O.V.

Sia- *plays with Malik's fingers* I don't wanna hurt him..

Diggy- *holding Malik* Don't be scared baby, you're being really gentle. You're good *strokes her hair*

Y/N- *smiles and watches them from the other couch*

Evie- *clears her throat* So.. what happened earlier?

Jermaine- *looks over at you* Yeah what?

Y/N- We... worked things out.

Evie- How?

Y/N- We talked and..

Jermaine- He got in your pants?

Y/N- *gasps* No! *laughs* We didn't get that far..

Evie- *smiles and laughs* Cause you kissed him, didn't you!

Y/N- *chuckles to herself* Yeah..

Jermaine- I knew y'all could work it out

Casey- God, we'd been praying for this moment for ages, it's about time it happened

Y/N- Says the England girl that's slow at doing everything.. I'm gonna miss y'all when you leave

Evie- *holds your hand* You've got both your boys now. There's nothing to worry about

Jermaine- *looks at Diggy* Just look at em. 

*they all look at Diggy and the kids*

Jermaine- He's gonna be a great dad.. it's a shame he wasn't there when Sia was little, but now he can make that different with Malik.. *puts his arm around you* He loves you both so much and now you can see it

Y/N- *smiles*

Jermaine- It's up to you not to mess it up tho

Y/N- *glares at him* *rolls her eyes*

*that night*

Y/N- *raises her voice above the crying* I really, really need that bottle Dig!

Diggy- *runs upstairs and hands it to you*

Y/N- *tries to feed it to Malik*

Malik- *rejects the bottle and cries even more*

Y/N- *sighs exasperated* What's wrong with him? *starts to get frustrated*

Diggy- Maybe he needs breast milk..

Y/N- No.. he doesn't want that..

Diggy- Is he tired..

Y/N- No! *sighs* I can't think!

Diggy- Let me take him.. *takes Malik* Babe, go and lie down, you need rest, you've been up for the last couple night with him.

Y/N- *runs her hands through her hair* Ugh.. Thank you.. *goes to the bedroom* *lies on the bed and drifts off to sleep*

*half an hour later*

Diggy- *slides you in the bed*

Y/N- *groans* Dig.. *wakes up a little*

Diggy- Yeah?

Y/N- *mumbles* I've missed you babe.. *grabs his neck*

Diggy- *kisses your neck*

*the next morning*

Y/N- *wakes up confused* *looks beside her* *sits up quickly* Dig!! What the hell?!

Diggy- *blinks at you* You finally woke up..

Y/N- *covers herself with the sheets* You're in my bed..

Diggy- *laughs* This is my bed. 

Y/N- *looks around* Well shit.

Diggy- *laughs and pulls you closer*

Malik- *wails on the monitor*

Diggy- *loosens his grip on you and sighs*

Y/N- *pats his arm* I got it.. *gets out of the bed*

Diggy- *watches you go* *bites his lip and laughs to himself*
