He Thinks He's the Best - J.H

Chapter 69

Roxy pov

Amber had come back alone. She said that Jaden would be making his way back shortly, but it still didn't put my nerves at ease. I wanted to see him.

I held Jordan so that Leela could interact with her, carefully. At some point, Amber and Craig had left to go and get coffee so it was just me, Leela and Jordan.

"Mommy, where's daddy?" Leela asked me as she ran her fingers over Jordan's arm.

"I don't know Lee Lee, why don't you call him?"

I knew he was stood right outside the room. I could see him in the reflection of one of the medical trays on the medical cart. He was stood there leaning against the wall. I smirked as I watched him quickly pull his phone out and put it on silent so it didn't make a sound when she called him.

The phone wasn't answered. In fact, the call was declined. It didn't ring long enough for it to ring out so I knew he had declined it. I whispered to Leela to just go and poke her head out of the door. Which she did, and laughed when she saw Jaden stood there.

"Are you playing hide and seek daddy?" She asked as she hugged his legs.

"No baby." He said as he picked her up and walked further into the room.

He walked over to the sofa and sat down on it with her on his lap, avoiding eye contact with me. I sighed and looked down at the baby in my arms.

"Your daddy can be really dumb sometimes." I said to her. It was quiet, but loud enough for Jaden to hear.

I watched as Leela moved on his lap so her chest was against his and her head was resting on his shoulder. He brought his hand up to rest it on her head as he lightly ran his fingers through her hair.

I was getting tired so I laid Jordan back down in her cot and laid down myself. I turned so I was facing Jaden and Leela. She looked as if she was asleep on his shoulder and he was already looking over at me. I kissed the tips of my fingers and waved at him. He smiled and did the same back with his free hand. I smiled and shut my eyes, allowing sleep to overcome me.

I was woken up in the middle of the night by soft cries and someone whispering. The doctors decided they wanted to keep us in for a few nights just to make sure everything was fine.

I opened my eyes slightly to see a small lamp turned on. I allowed my eyes to adjust to the light and the room and I saw Jaden walking around the room with his shirt off and Jordan in his arms. She was cuddled into his chest and by the looks of it, she kept trying to suck his nipple thinking it was me.

"Jord, baby, I don't have milk. I do not have the facilities to give you what you desire and I would prefer to live, so waking your mother up is not an option. I could just whip her boob out but if she wakes up she'll karate chop either me or you in the throat, so you're just going to have to wait." He said softly to her, acting as if he didn't just imply I would murder our child.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at what he said. He stopped walking around the room and turned on his heel to look at me. He was completely silent, but there were still soft cries coming from the baby in his arms.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked, almost wincing as he asked it.

"It's nice to know I sleep you while I'm scaring." I said.

He blinked at me a couple times, me doing the same. Both of us processing what I said. He tried not to laugh as I started to laugh a little.

"It's nice to know I scare you while I'm sleeping." I corrected as he nodded. "Also I would not fucking karate chop our child in the throat. You? Yes, my baby? Absolutely not. I worked too hard to just off her on her first full day of living." I laughed as he looked at me offended.

"That just- ow." He cut himself off as Jordan tried to suck his nipple again. "This shit hurts, how the fuck do you do that?" He asked as he used his finger to lightly detach her mouth from his skin.

"Babe. Let's not forget that she was literally inside me no less than 48 hours ago. I had to push her out through a hole that is normally no bigger than a dime. That is nothing." I laughed as he stared at me blankly.

"Yep, didn't really need a scene by scene rundown, but thanks for that." He laughed. "You know what? I'm going to give you the baby so that you can feed her, and then I can hug her without her trying to rip my nipple off." He laughed as he had to detach her lips from him yet again.

"Men are just weak aren't they?" I asked Jordan as I took her in my arms.

He scoffed at my words and shook his head. I got into a comfortable position and started to feed Jordan.

"Go on then, prove me wrong." I challenged as he raised an eyebrow at me.

"I have to put up with you, that's battery damage enough." He accused as he pointed a finger at me.

"Jaden, you deal with a tenth of what I go through. And you've only been with me when I was pregnant. Just you wait until my period comes back, you're gonna wish you were fucking gay." I laughed as he looked almost offended at what I said, in a joking manor.

"You think I couldn't handle you on your period?" He asked as he put his hand over his chest.

"No."

"See-"

"I know you couldn't handle me."

"Well that's just fucking rude. I'd handle you just fine." He dismissed. 

"Really?"

"Yep."

"How would you help me then?" I asked him as he looked at me.

"I'd get you a heating pad, possibly even two depending on how bad your back pain is. I'd buy you chocolate and I'd fucking make you hot chocolate so your insides are warm too. I'd massage your body if you wanted that, I'd give or have a bath with you to help you relax. Hell I'd even fuck you if you made you feel better." He explained.

"Okay, but what are you gonna do when my mood is changing every five minutes? Where one lot I want you to fuck me, the other lot I want you to stop breathing the same air as me, the next where all I want is for you to come and rub my stomach as I run my fingers through your hair, only for me to be wanting you dead, to the just wanting you to make me food? What will you do then?"

"I would go, sit and cry in the corner as I came to the realisation I'd have to do this kind of shit twice over with both of those two. And then I'd book a one way flight to Aberdeen and become a gay bookmaker." He explained causing me to laugh.

"And if you did that? I'd kick you in the balls so fucking hard you'd feel them in your throat." I threatened.

"That was unnecessary Roxy." He winced as he held himself protectively.

"Oh it was very necessary." I laughed at his reaction.
