Chapter 60

A few days later.

I pull my hair into a messy bun and walk to Romeo's room. "Hi, baby," I say in a baby voice. He laughs as I carry him downstairs. I sit him in his high chair. "You think you're funny? Huh, you think you're funny?" I smile as I poke his small belly.

He giggles uncontrollably as I get his food ready. I break up a hash brown into tiny pieces. The small boy devours his food.

I lift him out of the chair. "We need food in this house." I put his small coat and shoes on. I buckle him in his car seat. "Talk for mommy," I smile as I kiss his forehead.

"Ka-alah-blah," he yells.

I hear Ross coming down the stairs. "Morning," he says tired.

I smile at him. "Morning, babe. I was going to run to the store quickly. Is that okay?" I ask as he grabs a water out of the fridge.

He nods. "Yeah, that's fine. I'm gonna go back to bed," he yawns.

I nod before grabbing the car seat and leaving. Romeo babbles in the backseat of the car. "Really? What else happened?" I giggle as he keeps attempting to talk. "Say, mom-ma," I pronounce each syllable.

"Kah-blah!" He exclaims as I put him in the shopping cart.

I laugh and shake my head. "You're too much, kid." I walk up and down the aisles, talking to my baby, as I grab random things I know we eat. Then, the baby aisle. "You need diapers, loads of them," I say as I place two boxes of diapers in the cart. "Wipes," I throw the packages of wipes in the cart. i get rash cream and pacifiers. "What kind of food?" I ask as I lift him from his seat.

He pulls peas, carrots, apples, and bananas off the shelf. I place them in the cart, before setting him in his card eat again. When we get home, Ross runs out of the house. "You take him inside, I'll get those," he says motioning to the bags.

I nod and carry the baby inside. "Thanks, babe," I kiss Ross lightly as he brings in the last bag.

He smiles and we put the food away. "So many diapers!" He laughs as he runs upstairs. Flying back down the stairs, with a bouquet of roses, Ross has a cheeky smile. "For you, my love." He kisses me passionately.

I get caught up in lust. "Da-da!" Romeo yells. We pull back and stare at the baby. "Da-da!" He repeats.

I run over to the baby, lifting him out of his playpen. "Say it again!" Ross cheers.

Romeo laughs hysterically. "Dada," he says more fluently.

Ross and I clap for him before sitting him on the ground. We play with the baby until he falls asleep. I carefully put him back in his playpen before walking to the kitchen. After putting my roses in a vase, I walk back over to Ross. I sit next to him.

Smiling, he wraps his arms around me. We cuddle and watch a random show. "Babe?" Ross whispers. I look up at him, indicating my listening. "Can I have a kiss?" He asks sweetly.

I move my leg over so I'm sitting on his lap. "Of course," I smirk. He shoves his lips to mine. after a few minutes, his tongue pokes at my bottom lip. I gladly open my mouth.
