I awoke the next morning tot he sun brightly coming through the blinds. I moved to get up but my actions were cut short to a pair of arms wrapped, tightly, against my waist. I move my head to see that Spencer and I had moved i our sleep, my back on pressed tightly against his chest.

"Could you stop moving so much, please?" I hear Spencer groggily say behind me.
I laid back down and moved in his arms to face him.

"G' morning," I tell him with heavy eyes.
He simply smiles at me, through have closed eyes, "How'd you sleep?"

"Pretty good, you?" I said pushing my hands around his neck and into his hair, messing with his wild hair.

"Wonderful," he answers, and I blush, "A few more hours without a bright sun would have been nice," he said, his eyes finally adjusting to the brightness. I laughed at his comment not quite knowing what to do now. I opened my mouth to speak, not knowing what I would even say when my phone rang. Saved by the bell I thought.

I reach over grabbing my phone and looking a the caller Id, "Hey Rose, whatsup?"

"Hey, so you don't have a case or anything anytime soon do you?" She said hurriedly.

"I shouldn't why?" I asked her confused.

"Okay, good, so I have to go in for the day and I need to drop Arabella off at your house in ten- bye!" She said hanging up the phone before I could object.

Shooting up out of bed I ran around the room gathering my belongings quickly. "Hey, wow, what happened, why are you so rushed to leave?" Spencer asked sitting up on his elbows.

"Rose just called she is dropping Ara off at my house in ten minutes, so I need to hurry and get home and put some actual clothes on before she gets there." I say, rushing to the bathroom to change after I got my belongings from last night.

When I walked outside I found Spencer in grey sweatpants from last and a black shirt on top waiting. I threw the shirt he let me borrow in the clothes hamper and walked outside with him to his car.

"Shit." I said when we get in the car. Spencer looks at me with raised eyebrows as he pulls out of the parking lot.

"My car is still at the bar." I remind him.

"Well if you want we can go get it after Rose leaves." I think about it for a minute. Wondering what I would say to a nine-year-old to tell her not to tell her mom that uncle spence had to. drive us somewhere to get her aunts car, but then again,  nine-year-olds were easy to bargain with.

"Uh yeah that would be nice, thank you." He gave me a small smile and pulled into the parking lot of your complex. Rushing up the stairs I tell Spencer I would be back soon.

Unlocking the door to my apartment, I run into my room and stripped of my dress and went to my dresser to pull out new clothes. I laid out undergarments on the bed and walked into my closet to pick out an outfit.

Deciding on a basic oversized shirt and a pair of light washed mom jeans, I quickly change  into the outfit, and  moved over to my bathroom to brush your teeth.

Just as I had finished brushing out your hair, I hear my doorbell ring.

"Hey would love to stay and talk but I really need to get going, bye bye, Ara, be good for your aunty, and aunty let's also be good 'kay?" Rose said right as you opened the door. Merely nodded my head yes to her comment she thanked me and hurried down the stairs and into the parking lot.

"Okay Ara come on we are going on a quick drive." I tell her, smiling down at the girl in front of me.

"'kay, where are we going through?" She asks, looking up at me as we make the descent down the stairs.

"Well, I left my car somewhere yesterday so uncle Spencer is gonna drive us to my car and then from there we can go to the park for a little how does that sound?" Shaking her head frantically, a big smile appeared on her face at your plan.

"How did you get home if you didn't have your car?" She asked me when we reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Well, I was with uncle Spence so he gave me a ride home." I tell her hoping that would be the last of her questions. Luckily it was and we made the quick walk through the parking lot.

When we reached Spencer's car I opened the back door for her and then opened the door for myself.

"Hi, uncle Spence!" Arabella said with her usual happiness.

"Hey, Ara!" He said matching her happy tone. They fell into a little conversation about how Arabella got a 100 on her last spelling test. I looked over at Spencer and couldn't help but smile. He was so good with kids, he could go on and on with them and have a great time. You remembered the day the two met and how they instantly had a great time.

*Flashback*

"Hey y/n! Ready to go?" Rose said walking up to my desk as I finished packing up my things.

"Hi, aunty!" Ara said running up to me with her arms out, signaling she wanted me to pick her up.

"Hi Ara, yeah I'm ready just give me a sec." I picked Arabella up and putting her in my desk chair. She went on pretending to answer emails and drawing unicorns on a blank page of paper, saying that she was doing what her aunty does.

Spencer got up out of his chair and walked over unclipping my id badge, on my jacket pocket, and walking over to Arabella, he crouched down and clipped the badge to her shirt telling her, "If your gonna do what your 'aunty does' your gonna need a badge." Smiling at him she went back to drawing her unicorn and explaining to Spencer, the right way to draw a unicorn.

Arabella was one of those kids that could make friends with anyone. I always said she had to get that from her dad because neither me nor Rose was good at making friends, but Arabella was the best at it and Spencer had fallen into her kindness.

*End flashback*

Pulling up to the parking lot of the club we all were at last night I thank Spencer for everything and we all said your goodbyes as I get Arabella into my car. When I got into the driver's seat I connected my phone to the blue tooth and started put on the playlist I had with songs Arabella liked. I began your drive to the park and for a minute everything felt right. If only these moments like this could last forever.

Authors note: I got so in the zone while writing this and it was so good to write this chapter it came very easily, which after the last chapter is a relief. And ya'll got to meet Arabella and the tiniest bit of Rose. Okay, that's all from me till next time xx.
