Ashton pov

I awake early in the morning before Blake still holding her in my arms. I take a few minutes to admire her beauty whilst she sleeps perfectly flawlessly like a china doll MY girl MY baby MY Blake MY doll. I slip out of the room as she stirs in her sleep I have to before anyone noticed my absence in my room or my presence in hers it's what she wants she made that very clear with last night's - talk I just wish she saw how I see her or knew how I think of her she's mine even if she doesn't know it yet she's what keeps me going when I'm racing I imagine it being her at the finish line and I have to get to her before anyone else does I have to show her how I think of her show her I value all of her every dip and curl that I like her for more than that gorgeous body of hers for that magnificent mind too. I make my way to the kitchen, the smell of breakfast pouring out making my mouth water. I walk into the kitchen to see the little ones sat at the counter watching all the moms prepare a breakfast feast 

"good morning honey" Nicole greets me with a bright smile 

"morning Nicole"

 "sleep well Ash?" my mom asks

 "very well actually" I say smiling thinking of holding MY girl in my arms all night long 

"well now we're just missing one" Nicole says referring to the still asleep Blake

 "Ashton honey will you please go up and wake sleeping beauty" Nicole asks me

 "of course" I say heading back up the stairs and to the room I just left when I open the door I see a half-asleep Blake sitting up on the bed 

"hey there sleeping beauty" I say 

"why'd you leave?" she asks me 

"I thought that's what you wanted you know for me to leave - not to be seen with me" 

"ha yeah I guess - but who wouldn't want to be seen with 2-time world champ Ashton Baylor" she pokes fun at me for my own words

 "ha shut up" I say jokingly rubbing the back of my neck

 "you know Ashton it's not that I don't want to be seen with you its I don't want to be seen as one of your whores" 

"Blake I thought we went over this last night you are not a whore you are a privilege only when asked will I treat you like a whore" 

"yes I know Ashton gotta get that through my thick skull" 

"yes now come on sleeping beauty lets go eat a breakfast feast" I say heading out the door 

"hold on let me put on some pants first" she says stopping me 

"you know you don't-"

 "Ashton there are children and my brother down there" 

"whatever hurry up I'll see you down there" a few minutes later she makes her entrance to the kitchen

 "Morning honey" Nicole greets her

 "morning mom" she smiles and greets her 

"come sit now everyone let's dig in" my mom says impatiently we all take our respective seats Maria and Caroline on either side of Josh and Layton on the other side of caroline on one side of the table both moms on either end of the table and Blake and I on the other side opposite Caroline and Josh. when we finish were all stuffed and ready for a post-breakfast naptime so as Josh and Caroline carry the babies upstairs for their naptime Blake and I make our way into the living room to pick out a movie we really she settles on divergent one of her favorites she spreads herself out onto one of the couches and I take the recliner that faces diagonally to the couch she's on Josh and Caroline cuddle up on the love seat. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of envious of that how he can just hold her so openly without her doubting his intentions if only I could have that with Blake. After a while I fall asleep waking in a dream I know it was a dream because I was holding MY girl something her real-life counterpart would never let me do in this dream we were on the beach watching the sunset and as the sky turned different shades of orange and pink she turned to me and said 

"you know Ashton I never thought I'd be here but I'm sure glad I am"

 "me too" I responded 

as the sun went down we walked along the beach two kids appearing beside us ours I assume twin girls flawless like their mother I could of stayed there forever but as I wake up the dream fades and exposes itself as just that a dream. When i open my eyes the room is empty and the lights off only the sunlight peeking through the curtains illuminating the room the faint sound of music comes from the kitchen i get up and make my way to the kitchen stopping in the doorway watching Blake dance around the kitchen unknowing of my presence jumping when she sees me 

"goddammit Ashton you have to stop doing that" 

"haha sorry baby I was enjoying the show" she glares at me

 "So where is everyone" I ask

 "they went out" she tells me 

 "how long will they be gone" I ask her 

 "Ashton no I have to finish this remember what we talked about" she says  

"Blake I wouldn't dream" I say sarcastically 

 "then stop staring" she says 

 "How could I not stare look at you you got my hoodie all messy" I tease

 "what are you making anyway?" I ask

 "pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting now back off your not getting one there for later" She tells me as I peer over her shoulder at the delicious looking cupcakes

 "come on don't you need a tastester" I say 

"no I'm good" she says

 "not even one" I say stealing one 

 "Ashton give that back" 

"okay" I say smashing the cupcake frosting and all on her face

 "omg your gonna get it now" she picks up another cupcake and starts chasing me around the kitchen

 "come back here!" she yells 

"never!" I yell back continuing to dodge her by inches sometimes

 "oh come on Ashton you afraid of a little cupcake" she taunts 

"no but I am a little afraid of you" she has me caught in a corner slowly making her way towards me cupcake out when she makes it mear feet from me I reach out and smack the cupcake from her hand 

"oops" I say

 with a big grin appearing on my face "oh that's okay Ashton mistakes happen" she says in a sinister tone still slowly making her way towards me 

"what are you doing" I saw unsure of her intentions she then runs and smears her cupcake covered face on mine 

"oh" I say she stops at my lips staring for a second looking like she's having an internal debate on whether to do it finally coming to a decision smashing her lips on mine.
