Chapter 58

Two days later- September 16th

I crawl back in bed next to Lynn, with the baby in his tiny crib In our room. She moans softly, rolling over to face me. I brush some hair away from her face and smile. "Hi, baby."

She smiles tiredly, closing her eyes again. "Hey," she whispers as we intertwine our legs. "What time is it?"

I glance at the alarm clock near her. "Almost midnight, go back to sleep, love." She shakes her head, pulling me over her. I grab her left leg and hold it on my waist. "Why not, baby?"

She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling my face closer to hers. "You know what I want," she growls. I lean down, connecting our lips softly. I rock my hips against hers as I push my forehead against hers. A muffled moan escapes her lips. I kiss down her neck to where her shoulder meets her neck. I tug gently on her skin with my teeth. "Rossy," she moans out.

I smirk against her skin before pulling back. i peck her lips a few times and stop moving my hips. "Soon, baby girl," I whisper as I push some hair away from her eyes.

Lynn kisses me again. "I want it now, baby. I want it all now," she whines as I pull back again.

I caress her cheek as I sigh. "Baby, calm down. We'll do it soon, I promise." She nods in defeat. I keep holding her leg as I lay down next to her. I kiss her forehead. "I love you, baby."

She snuggles closer to me. "Love you too," she mumbles sadly.

I lift her chin. "Don't be upset. Give it a week or so," I say quietly.

She nods again. ~~ "Rossy," Lynn whines as she flops around the bed.

I laugh quietly. "The baby was crying," I inform her as I lay back down with the Baby on my chest.

She smiles as she puts her leg across my waist. She moves her head near my neck. "You're such a good daddy," she whispers.

"Thank you, babe," I press my lips to her forehead for a few seconds. "Romeo was born on the same day Lyddie was," I say as I stare at the ceiling.

Lynn doesn't answer. We all lie in silence. My phone buzzes, a text from Rydel.

Rydel: I'm in the driveway,loser. Where are you?

Ross: Lynn and the baby are sleeping on me. You can comein.

After a few minutes, the door creaks open. Rydel smiles and snaps a picture. "When were you planning on 'snaking'?" My sister asks as she sits on the edge of my bed.

Snaking is the code word we use for proposing.

I slightly shrug. "Soon, hopefully. Maybe in a month or so," I turn my head towards Lynn. She shuffles underneath me. "Hey babe." I smile as she opens her eyes.

"Hi," she says tiredly. "Hey, Delly."

Rydel waves to my soon-to-be fiancée. "Mornin' Lynnie, wanna go out to breakfast?" She asks, looking between both of us.

"Sure," we say in unison.

I press my lips to her forehead. "You get ready while I get Romeo ready," i instruct.

She takes the baby from me, pushing me out of bed. "You didn't put his diaper on right," she giggles. I sigh and walk to the bathroom.

Lynnette's P.O.V

I bring Romeo to his room to change him, Rydel follows. "So, how's it feel to be a parent!?" She asks excitedly.

I laugh quietly. "Actually, Ross has been taking over for the past two days."

She nods slowly. "He told me about Lyddie," she whispers.

I shrug as I change the baby's diaper. "Maybe it was for a reason. To tell us we had to wait until our relationship was stronger," I sigh.

She nods again. "You guys are a lot closer now," she agrees.

"Babe!" Ross yells from the other room, causing Romeo to cry.

I groan and get my child dressed. We walk to my room to find Ross in his boxers. "Yes?" I ask irritably.

"I have no clothes washed," he whines.

I hand him the baby. "I'll go get what's in the dryer." I run downstairs to the basement. I pull a pair of Ross' jeans out of the dryer along with a black v-neck. Once Ross is ready, he walks downstairs to feed the baby. Rydel goes with him. I quickly change out of my PJ's and into a summery dress.

I quickly brush through my hair, then pull it into a ponytail. I apply light makeup before rushing downstairs. "Ready?" Ross asks as he grabs the baby's car seat.

I nod and slip on some sandals. I grab Romeo's diaper bag as we walk out. Rydel climbs in our car, in the back with the baby. When we get to a diner, Ross sits on one side of the booth with Romeo and Rydel sits with me on the other. "Are you okay?" She asks sweetly and quietly.

I watch Ross entertain the small child. "I guess," I sigh as I look at the menu. I decide to the corned beef hash.

"What's wrong?" Rydel whispers.

I glance at Ross again. "He doesn't even lay with me anymore. I get that he's trying to be a good dad but.." I trail off.

"But you miss me being with you 24/7," ross says quietly.

I nod, looking into my lap. "I'm going to the bathroom," I mumble as I get up. I make my way to the bathroom. Ross follows me into the restroom.

He closes the door and opens his arms. I hug him tightly. "I miss our cuddles," he whispers. I nod again, pulling away. "Rydel and I need to go somewhere after breakfast, though. So I need you to take the baby," he says awkwardly.

"Okay," i whisper as we walk back out.

We finish breakfast and before I knew it, Romeo and I were sleeping on my bed.
