1 and a half years later

"I would love to," I said over the phone to Marisa.

Marisa was having a barbeque and invited me over. This weekend was the five-year anniversary of her stillborn son Chase. When Levi and Marisa got pregnant all those years ago they decided to have a small wedding and move in together. But Marisa went into early labor with her son Chase and he was born stillborn. They tried again a few times after that but each time the pregnancies ended in miscarriages. But Marisa and Levi as always celebrated Chase's birthday even though he was no longer with us.

"Okay, I know what to bring Missy," I said folding some clothes.

"Okay, bye," I said a few moments later hanging up the phone.

I continue to fold clothes until I hear the cry of my baby. I smile and walk into his room to see him standing in his crib reaching out to her. "Aww, what's wrong Gideon?" I asked picking up my 10-month-old son. I kiss his rosy cheek and walk out of the room. I walk to our living room and place him in his playpen and walk over to the kitchen.

I grab a packet of breastmilk and pour it into his bottle. I shake it up and walk over to Gideon who was still fussy. He reaches out for the bottle and instantly starts drinking it.

I sigh and kiss his short brown hair. I walk back to my room and grab the basket of clothes and walk back to the living room.

A few minutes later my phone starts to ring again. I answer it without looking at the caller id. I pull the phone away when I hear the scream of someone on the other end. I frown and look at my phone. "WILLOW I'M GETTING MARRIED!" Ashlynn screams into the phone. "Om Cody just proposed with the biggest rock I've ever seen in my life." She said.

"Oh god, Ash, I'm so happy for you," I said making sure she didn't bother Gideon with her loud screams.

"Finally after nearly a decade," She said. "I want you to help me plan my wedding," She said. "Your wedding was so good that I have to ask you to help me plan mine," She said giggling. I shake my head and bite my lip. "I didn't plan my wedding, Amber hired a wedding planner for me," I said. "Well tell Amber to get that person on the line she needs to plan my wedding," She said.

For the next hour and a half, Ashlynn couldn't stop talking about her wedding. When she finally finishes I got so side track that I didn't realize the time.

I gasped when I notice it was already 3:00. The kid's bus would be coming by now. I pick up Gideon who desperately needed a diaper change. I grab his diaper bag by the door and walk out of the house. I walk down the street and passed daddy's house. The red trailer I grew up in. I notice daddy wasn't home, he probably was at work like he always was at this time. Amber was also not home, probably just shopping with Justin.

I stand near the bus stop with a few other parents and wait for the bus.

I take out a changing mat and throw it on the ground. I neatly put Gideon down on the mat and change his diaper knowing he was uncomfortable.

He smiles down at me and starts kicking his leg in the air and squealing and rolling around. But eventually, I was finally able to change the baby's diaper.

"You look so adorable, Deon," I said kissing his lips. He smiles and grabs my shirt trying to pull it down. I gasp and pry his hands away. "I just fed you," I chuckle. I pinch his cheek and pull down the shirt that looked so cute on him.

It was an outfit that Julie had given me when her son Rylie had outgrown it.

I pick Gideon up and place him on my hip. I kiss his cheeks and stroke his light brown hair. I look up from my baby when I hear the bus approaching us. "Look Deon your brother and sister are home," I said pointing towards the bus.

The bus comes to a stop in front of us. Kids start climbing down the bus and running to their parents. I smile when I see Venus walking down the bus holding her brother's hand and helping him down.

"Momma," Atticus said running up to me with his arms open wide. I bend down and open my free arm to his running form. He wraps his tiny arms around my neck and buried his face in my shoulder. "Momma, I missed you," He said kissing all over my face. "Oh Atticus, I missed you too," I said picking him up in my free hand.

Venus grabs onto my skirt and looks up at me. I smile down at her and begin walking home with my kids.

Later that day I was doing some dishes after the kid's lunch and putting Gideon down for his nap. I was so busy I didn't notice Daire opening the front door and walking into the kitchen. I jump when he wraps his arms around my waist. He places his chin on my shoulder and kisses my neck. "Hi my love," He said rubbing my body up and down my body.

I smile and press my bottom into his front.

He groans and sucks my neck. "I would love to fuck you here, but I'm scared the kids would in on us and be traumatized," He murmurs pulling away from me.

He licks his lips and looks me up and down. He runs his hands up my leg and towards my crotch. He leans towards me and whispers. "The sexiest mom I've ever seen," He said before grabbing the back of my head and kissing me hard.

"Momma, look at me," Atticus said running into the kitchen making Daire pull away from me. I turn to look at Atticus and gasped. "Atticus Sailor Frost," I said looking over his clothes. "Oh my god," I said looking at his dirty clothes.

"Crap," I said and glance at Daire. "Take him upstairs and give him a bath with you," I said shaking my head and rubbing my temple.

Daire smiles at his son and chuckles. "Come here Atty," He said picking Atticus up and walking out of the kitchen with him.

I groan and turn back to the sink. I put away the dishes and pick up my breast pump. I walk over to the table and start to pump my milk to feed Gideon for later.

When I finish I pour the milk into the bag and seal it up before putting it in the fridge. I look down at the ground and roll my eyes when I see muddy footprints on my floor. I sigh and grab the Swiffer sweeper and begin cleaning up the tiny footprints.

When I finish I put it away and walk into the living to have some quiet time before the kids start bothering me again. I turn on the tv and watch some TLC.

"Mommy," Venus said walking into the room. I look away from the tv and at Venus. "Yes, V?" I asked her. She walks over to me and hands me a paper. "I need your help with my homework," She said. I smile and take the paper from her. I look over the paper and smile. "This is easy 1st grader's work," I said picking her up and walking her to the kitchen table, and placing her in one of the chairs. I kiss her forehead and sit down next to her.

I help her with her remaining work and give her a high-five when she finishes it. I kiss her cheek and walk over to the fridge. "Want some milk?" I asked her. She nods and pushes away the paper. I grab the carton of milk and pour some milk into her pink cup. I hand her the cup and kiss her forehead.

"Look who decided to wake up," Daire walking into the living room.

"Daddy," Venus said running to him. He picks her up and leaves a lingering kiss on her cheek. "How's my favorite little girl?" He asked. Venus smiles largely at her father and kisses his nose. She then strokes Gideon's head and smiles at him.

"You look so pretty today," He said looking at her dress before putting her down.

He strokes her head before walking into the kitchen where I stood watching their exchange. He kisses my lips and hands me a tired-looking Gideon. "Aww my poor baby," I said rubbing his back. I kiss his forehead and walk into the living room. I put him in his playpen and hand him his stuffed elephant.

I walk over to the couch and rub my temple in exhaustion.

Daire sits down beside me and kisses my cheek. I smile at him and run my hand through his much longer brown hair. "You smell and look so much better," I said leaning my head on his chest.

He chuckles and rubs his back. "I want to look for another job," He said. "A better job so you can finish your college education," He mumbles against my hair. I wrap my arms around his torso and watch Venus play with her baby brother. "I told you that I have no interest in going back to college," I said. "But I do wish to work when Gideon is old enough, I want to work in real estate."

"You should definitely do that," He said. "But why wait until Gideon is older?" He asked. "I mean you and I both know Gideon isn't our last baby," He said rubbing my back.

I chuckle knowing it was the truth. Gideon was far from our last baby.

I look up at him and pout. "I'm actually studying to be a real estate agent so I could get a license," I mumble watching as Venus hits her brother.

"Hey, Venus, don't do that," Daire lightly pushed me away so he could get a crying Gideon. He picks up the baby and walks back to the couch.

I rub the baby's back and lay down on Daire's chest feeling tired. Venus huffs and takes the remote from the coffee table and turns to the channel before sitting grumpily in front of the couch.

I laugh at her but cover my mouth before she could hear me.

"Momma, daddy look," Atticus said walking into the room. "Aww look at you, baby," I said sitting up and placing the baby in my lap.

"You look so handsome, did daddy dress you?" I asked pulling on his shirt. He gives me a toothy smile and kisses my cheek. "Yeah," He mumbles. "So cute," I said kissing the side of his head.

A few hours later I was sitting in front of my mirror removing my earrings when Daire walks into the room. He smiles at me and grabs my hand with my wedding ring on it and kisses it. "The kids are finally asleep," He said.

He steps away and removes his shirt.

I try not to look at him as he removes his clothing.

He climbs into bed and grabs his phone. "Your dad is helping me look for another job because he knows I'm not happy working at the shop," He mumbles scrolling through the phone. "But for now I gotta keep working," He sighs.

Once all my jewelry is removed from myself I place them in my box. I put the box away on its shelf and strip myself out of my clothes. When I finish I was left in nothing but pink lace underwear.

I walk over to the bed and climb in beside Daire. I wrap my arms around his waist and snuggle into him. He kisses my head and wraps his arms around me. He grabs my breast and squeezes it. He climbs on top of me and kisses my lips. He places my hand on his back and pushes him down on me.

He pulls away and smiles down at me. "I love you, Bud," He said stroking my hair. I smile up at him and intertwine our hands together. "I love you too Daire Frost."
