He Thinks He's the Best - J.H

Chapter 63

Roxy pov (8 months)

"Ro Ro, you have to wake up." I heard someone whisper as I came to.

"Hmm?" I asked as I adjusted my eyes to my new surroundings.

"Morning Ro Ro." Leela smiled as she sat back on her legs.

I looked over to see Jaden sat there with a smirk on his face. Probably because he knows that if he woke me up I would probably hurl a pillow at him. But I wouldn't do that to Leela so that's why he got her to wake me up.

"Good morning Lee Lee, asshat." I smiled at her before turning to look at Jaden with a glare, who still had a smirk on his face.

"Good morning to you too." He laughed as he dodged a flick from me.

"We can beat daddy up later. Happy birthday Ro Ro." Leela squealed as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Thank you bub." I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her as well.

"Come on, you gotta get up. Go get ready." She laughed as she tried to pull me up.

"Okay, okay. I'll get up." I laughed as I sat up slightly.

"Princess, why don't you go and choose what colours you want to wear today, yeah?" Jaden said to Leela as she nodded and bounded out of the room. "Good morning." He said as he wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer to him.

"No, it's time to sleep." I said as I leant my head against his chest and shut my eyes, causing him to laugh.

"If only. She's not going to let you sleep anymore. She woke me up at four saying it's time to wake you up, I held her back for as long as I could because I know you didn't sleep well last night." He said as he kissed my head.

"Right." I breathed out as I felt the back of my eyes sting slightly.

"Hey, if you aren't up to it, you really can just go back to sleep. I mean as crappy as it sounds, we really don't have anything big planned for today because of how far along she is." He said softly as he pointed to my stomach.

"No, no. It's fine, I'll be fine I promise. I'll get up." I said as I sat up, ignoring the familiar pain that went shooting up my spine.

"Rox, please don't over do yourself." He said as he stood up along with me.

"I'm not, I promise." I smiled as I walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

For the entirety of the day, we just chilled in the living room binge watching movies. Leela decided that halfway through the movie marathon she was going to try and give us a gymnastics show. She pushed the coffee table to the side and showed us all of the newer moves she had been learning, and luckily she contracted no broken bones from it.

At some point both Jaden and Leela had disappeared into the kitchen, insisting I stayed where I was. So I did just that. I sat and played with the two dogs that had swarmed at my feet.

Jaden had walked back into the living room with a few boxes in his hand. Leela had yet to appear.

He came and sat down next to me, placing the boxes on my lap. I looked at him with and eyebrow raised because I specifically told him not to get me anything, and he knew that.

"I told y-"

"I don't wanna hear it so shut your damn mouth." He laughed as he placed a finger against my lips. "Just open them." He said.

I opened the smaller box first and inside was a silver necklace with a simple diamond on it, and a silver bracelet that said the word mommy across it. There was also a small pair of shoes inside that matched the pair of Jordans both Jaden and I have.

"Oh my fucking god, that's so cute." I giggled as I held them up, comparing them to my hand side. "These are beautiful by the way." I smiled as I held the chains up.

He smiled back at me, but I could tell he was biting his lip inside to contain his excitement. I put those items back in the box and placed it on the coffee table. I took the second box and opened it to reveal a file. I opened the file, and all of it was information on Leela.

"I wrote the majority of this." I laughed as I looked at him.

"I know, just keep going." He said as he nodded.

I continued to flick through all the pages, reading over all the notes I've made over the years. When I got to the end of the file, I looked at Jaden confused and he just moved his head for me to lift it up.

When I did, I found a yellow envelope. I opened it and my eyes scanned over the words over and over to make sure I read it right.

Certificate of adoption.

I felt my eyes start to sting as my vision became blurry. I looked up at Jaden to see him smiling as wide as he possibly could. I heard Leela come running in, with a massive grin on her face. She stood right in front of me and had her hands behind her back so the lettering on her new shirt was clearly visible.

Will you be my mommy?

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I let the tears fall as I smiled harder than I ever had in years.

"Oh my god." I whispered as I tried to process what was going on.

"Can I call you mommy?" Leela asked as she walked closer to me.

"Of course you can." I smiled as she climbed up and sat in between me and Jaden. "Thank you." I said as I looked up at Jaden.

He didn't say anything, but kissed me as he placed his hands under my chin.
