The Best Deceptions (Want You Bad sequel)

Chapter 28

**Hihi!! Sorry I've been gone for a bit. Depression is a biiiitch sometimes. Then once I was out of the weeds with that, I sprained my wrist and typing was not my friend. But here we are! I managed to get this bad boy out. I'm super excited for what's to come for my sweet girl Natty, so the next few chapters miiiight be out sooner than I've been updating, but I make no promises. 

OH! And, since I haven't announced what Nat and Goose's baby's name is going to be, if you have any guesses, drop a comment! I'm pretty positive I have it chosen already, but who knows, I could be swayed to choose another name.

Anyway, I hope you like this chapter, sorry it took so long to get out. xx

"How are you feeling?" Rick asked, sitting beside me on the back porch, handing me a water.

I groaned and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Fucking miserable, Rick. Absolutely. Fucking. Miserable."

"Is it actually that bad or are you being dramatic?"

I pulled back to glare at him. "Dude. I am eight months pregnant in the middle of August in Southern California. I. Want. To. Die."

"Has Levi been good?" We were watching Levi, my mom, and Sutton playing in the backyard.

I nodded. "Yeah, he seems to understand that I can't really run around and play with him and I can't give him Uppies all the time. He cuddles me at the end of the night and rubs my belly and gives it kisses." I felt my eyes starting to water. "He's really the best."

"And Sutton?" Rick had his authoritative Dad Tone on. "How's he been? Is he ready?"

I nodded again and leaned my head back on Rick's shoulder. "Same as always, the most supportive, helpful, darling, angel human I know."

Rick chuckled. "Good to know you're still sure about him."

I giggled. "I think if either of us changes their mind, it'll be him."

"That would be unfortunate. You never let me beat Louis up for leaving you, and I like Sutton way too much to want to beat him up."

I checked the time on my phone and groaned. I had barely gotten any sleep the night before, but I could hear Levi chattering away to Sutton, so it was time to get up. Sutton didn't mind if I slept in, but I knew he had planned on building the baby's crib this morning, and that was difficult enough of a task without a toddler in your ear. I used the restroom quickly and made my way down the hall to the room that was going to be the new baby's. Sutton was sitting on the floor next to a half-built crib while Levi talked to him about something.

"Hey Levi, you hungry, baby?" I asked from the doorway.

"Yeah!"

"Okay, let's go have some breakfast and let Goose build your sister's crib." He clambered to his feet and came over to me and I ruffled his hair. "Grab Buppy and meet me by the stairs, okay?" Levi ran from the room.

Sutton jumped to his feet and came to kiss my cheek. "You didn't sleep much."

I made a face. "I know, I was there. Has Levi been up long?"

He shook his head. "No, not really. I was going to take a break and feed him soon."

I grinned and pressed a kiss to his lips. "I know you were, but I'm up anyway."

Sutton placed his hands on my belly. "Let me know if you need me to stop and take care of Levi for you. I don't want you wearing yourself out."

I squeezed his hands. "I won't wear myself out, promise."
