four weeks later

His sweat dripped down my back as he leaned over to nibble on my neck as he thrusted from behind. Pushing everything off of the island i am pushed down to feel the freezing counter top causing my tender nipples to harden. He quickens the pace as i curse loudly feeling my core begin to drip. "shit" he curses pumping steadily into me as i clench my walls around his core. I am then turned around to sit on the counter. As i look up to look him in his eyes he places his face in my neck and enters hisself again. My mind is sent in a frenzy as he begins pleasuring me again but i try to think about who the person is.

"Ashley" he says as his thrust begins to get sloppy.

"ashley" his voice begins to change. "Ashley" Israels voice speaks to me.

"Ashley... wake up" he says holding Aiden as i open my eyes to see him standing over me. "you good...you was making noises" he asks me as i sit up

"yeah... im fine" i say after clearing my throat before reaching for my baby. "i just had a weird dream that's all"

"Hi baby.. you woke up already" I speak to my infant.

" I think he hungry and all the milk is frozen" Izzy says looking at him.

" damn already...okay I got it" I say before pulling out my breast and helping Aiden latch on.

" shit ash." Izzy says turning around " a warning would be nice" he says before beginning to walk out

" my bad" I say as I pick up my phone Going through my instagram and messages. A few people from work who had just got the news congratulated me. Before I knew it, Aiden was back asleep in my arms. I sit him on top of my comforter and place two pillows around him for safety and make my way into the bathroom to freshen up. After taking a quick shower and getting dressed I go out into the kitchen to make some lunch.

As I exit the room I see Izzy laying down on his phone. He has been a real help since Aiden has got here. Not only him but both of our moms has been coming to help us to give us a quick break. He has pretty much been here all the time unless one of our moms come and he'll go home to shower or something.

" I'm about to fix some lunch you want some" I say opening the fridge

"yea.." he says lowly. And I begin looking through the fridge and pulling out some chicken that we had last night and decided to make some quick chicken sandwiches. I don't have much time before that little boy wakes up and I honestly don't feel like cooking a whole meal.

After I finish I place both plates on the island and we begin to eat. It's mostly in silence due to both of us being very hungry.

"When you're maternity leave up" Israel breaks the silence. I hadn't brung it up but I guess now the time to talk about it

" in about 4 weeks..." I say realizing how short amount of time they gave me. "But i dont know ..."

" what don't you know" he says looking at me

" I don't want to go back so soon... I feel like Aiden just got here and I'm not even completely healed to go back.... but I still want to go back eventually" I say truthfully. I had been thinking about it for a while now and I honestly didn't know if I was going to go back to work. I have enough saved to stop working for a bit and be comfortable until I decide to go back but I don't know if that's what I want to do.

" I can't tell you what to do but if you don't want to go back yet then that's fine... you know I can take care of you and Santana" he says before taking another bite of his sandwich.

"I know you can but I dont want you to have to do that" many other women would've learned to hear that but that wasn't me. I am fully capable of taking care of my son and I.

"Well that's your choice to make... Ian working for a bit tho" I already knew he wasn't going to work for a while since he told me a few months ago that he was taking off. I get up from my seat grabbing the dishes to wash them. I hear a knock on the door and look at Israel confused as he gives me the same expression.

"you expecting company or sum" he ask me. I know its not either one our moms cause they usually call before they come. As soon as i begin to walk towards the door Aiden starts to make noises

"ill get the door...go get him" Israel says getting up from the couch walking towards the door. I walk back into my bedroom to see my cranky boy whining.

"awe what's wrong baby." i say to him as his facial expressions soften. I make my way back to the living room to see Israel still at the door.

"izzy who at the door" I approach him from behind and he looks back revealing a face i have avoided for a while now.

Izzy POV

I rub my hand over my face getting up from the couch as Ashley walks back to the room in the sundress she is wearing. Ian gone lie she done got thicker since the baby. I shake my head and walk towards the door. Im honestly tired as fuck since lil man be waking up all the damn time and i was getting ready to go back to sleep. I unlock the door to see a darkskin man along side a short white woman standing at the door.

"umm...Hi!" the woman says smiling bright in my face. I naturally show no emotion to her. "we just moved in about 4 apartments down and thought we'd come introduce ourselves. I'm Natalie and this is my fiancé.." she gets cut off by Ashleys voice

"Izzy who at the door" i turn around to her coming towards us with Santana in one of her arms and the other on her hip. Her eyes then widen slightly to the door before going back to normal and i turn around to see the man in shock.

"oh my gosh... what a beautiful baby" the annoying white girl says referring to Santana.

"thanks" i say dryly before ashley steps slightly behind but beside me.

"wow Ashley its been what two years" the unknown man says in awe.

"yes it has Lance" she say with a slight attitude laced in her voice.

"wait is Ashley?... Like Ashley, Ashley?" she really starting to get on my nerves. "oh my god do you remember me i used to work with-"

"how could i not Natalie" Ashley cuts her off smiling sarcasically. I feel like im left out of something since they all know each other and ive never seen Ashley this annoyed before and i done made her mad.

"well we just moved in the building and were stopping by to introduce ourselves.. we'll let you and your husband enjoy the rest of your night" Lance, im guessing, said.

"oh he's-" i cut ashley off

"We will" i say before closing the door. I walk back to the couch and get ready to hear this story that Ashley is about to tell me. She comes behind me and sits down placing Santana in her lap.

"so you gone tell me how you know him or are you gone sit there quiet like a weirdo" i ask her bluntly. Aint no point of holding back i could tell she wanted to tell me so i just pushed her a little. I don't understand why she be acting so shy like we dont have a whole child together.

"okay so about two years ago i was in a very serious relationship, i had just entered my masters program, i felt like nothing could be more perfect. He had just got a great job at a law firm and me being the great girlfriend i decided to bring him dinner since he would be working late. Tell me why i walk in to him eating his coworker out. On top of desk. Butt ass naked." she says in a matter of fact tone. "and guess who the coworker was" she dramatically pauses. "Natalie" she says

"Nooo" i say sarcastically. She hits my shoulder as i laugh. "so you gone hit me in front of my son" I say mocking the movie 'Baby Boy'. causing her to laugh loudly.

"honestly... i thought when i would see him again i would be all in my feelings in all but it was the complete opposite." she speaks honestly. I decided to stay quiet Because i didn't know what to say. The silence i broken when Santana begins to whine looking directly at me.

"wussap man... im right here." i say scooting in closer to Ashley looking down at Santana as he grabs my finger.

"dang, you dont have to do me like that" Ashley says and she looks between the two of us. Ashley then tries to take him off of her lap and he begins to whine again.

"you not gone let me go to the bathroom baby" she says sitting him back down "that's messed up" she says shaking her head.

I laugh as we sit very closely watching tv while Santana looks at us. Before i know it i am waking up feeling a head on my shoulder. I look down to see a sleeping Ashley along with a Santana in her arms knocked out from breast feeding due to Ashleys whole titty out of her dress and directly by his mouth.

"ashley" i say as i gently rock her

"hmm" she hums with her eyes closed.

"gone head and get it in bed." i say grabbing Santana from her arms. She gets up and stretches as i walk into the Nursery sitting my son down in his crib. I walk back into the living room only for Ashley to lowly call my name from her room

"wussap ash" i ask her leaning on the door frame.

"come n sleep in the bed. i know that couch messing your back up" she says rubbing her head through the bonnet while taking off the remainder of the pillows off her large bed. Ion know why she got all them pillows. When i asked her she talking bout some decoration or something but ion get it.

"Ashley i aint about to sleep in the bed with you" i tell her as she walks into the closet.

"ian about to debate with you.. this bed is more than enough room for the two of us to sleep far away from each other and i just dont see how you been sleeping on that couch. So get in and stop complaining." she said before coming out in some pajama short and a big tee shirt and getting into bed. "turn off the light before you get in" she says before pulling the cover over her and closing her eyes. I chuckle at her demands and decide to suck it up and get in the bed. As i lay down i realize how comfortable her bed is and what ive been missing out on. Had me laying on that wierd ass couch fucking my spine up. It didn't take me long before i was knocked out.

Ashley POV

I slowly open my eyes and it didn't take long for them to adjust due to my dark curtains. It took a few seconds for my senses to readjust causing me to feel warmth from beneath me. I look down to see tattoos seeping through a black tee shirt. My eyes widen as i realize that i am laying slightly ontop of Izzy with my leg sprung across his lap and my head on his chest. I try to stay still as i dont want to wake him up in this awkward position. I look down slowly to see his arms wrapped around my waist slightly under my big tee. Slowly pealing my body away from his i successfully get out of bed. I grab my charged phone and make my way to my bathroom.

I sit down on the toilet and turn on my phone seeing that its 12:43 pm. The first thing i could think about was my baby and how did we sleep that long without checking on him. Quickly, i brushed my teeth and washed my face before walking back into the room to see Izzy up and looking at his phone.

"Good morning" He said slightly peeking over to me

"good morning how'd you sleep" i say before making my way to the room door

"mannnn" he drags out "great..probably the best" he says still on his phone.

"i bet" i say lowly to myself opening the door.

"what happened" he says

"ian say nothing" i say quickly in return. i walk out to see Sharon in the kitchen cooking with Aiden in his bouncer, quiet.

"when did you get here Ms. Sharon" i ask her nicely before giving my baby a kiss and sitting at the island.

"earlier this morning... i know my grandbaby likes to eat around 7 so i brought the emergency key just in case. He woke up as soon as i got here so i went ahead and fed him... Went to check on you and my son and yall were knocked out" she says causing my eyes to widen. I had though about if she had seen the way we were laying and i didn't want her to think anything was going on.

"its okay baby... yall are grown and that is none of my business" she smiles and places a plate of breakfast in front of me. "i figured yall would be hungry and i know you like breakfast" she says before i thank her and dig in. It isn't long before Israel comes out of the room.

"Hey ma when you get here" he says sitting down beside me.

" boy I been here. Y'all must be was sleeping good not to notice" she says side eyeing me while smiling

"must be. Ashley bed comfortable as hell" he says before she hand him a plate

" mmhm" she saying going to grab some milk.

" oh I can feed him" I say getting up.

" no you sit down and eat baby you got all this milk stored he'll be fine." She says before transferring the milk into a bottle and taking Aiden into his room. We sit there eating until Israel's phone goes off causing both of us to look at it and hit to quickly decline it.

" ain't nobody but nique crazy ass" he mumbles shaking his head before adding the number to the black list.

" damn you got her calling from different numbers and shit what you do to her" I say laughing

" shit I don't even know for real" he says shaking his head and eating his food.

" I told you bought how I seen her the day I went into labor" I say making his head snap up

" where at?" He asked

" at the grocery store baby was staring mighty hard, and then she gone come to my car window talking she just wanted to talk... I wasn't about to play with that girl so I came my butt home" I tell him truthfully.

" you'n think she was watching you or nun" he asked me

" I hope not because she might think she crazy but she ain't met it yet... After that last situation I wish somebody would" I speak honestly. I've been nice to that girl and she has been rude and disrespectful for no reason multiple times. So if she were to be watching me or some creepy ass shit I wouldn't hesitate to fuck her up because now I have another person to look over and I'm not about to let anything happen to him.

Israel just sits there looking deep In thought before I pick up both of our plates and wash them. After straightening up the kitchen I decide to go take a quick shower and clean up a little.
