My Perfect Adoptive Family

Listen To Me

Riker's P.O.V

I hear the bathroom door slam and lock. "Ella," I groan. I walk to the bathroom, knocking softly. "What's wrong?"

"I'm not worth this. everything you do for me, I'm not worth it." She opens the door and allows me to step in.

I pull her into a tight hug. "You're worth everything," I mumble into her hair.

"where are we going?" She sniffles.

I wipe her tears. "Colorado," I whisper. She looks at me, her eyes begging me not too. "it'll be okay, baby. I promise," I assure her.

She nods, pulling back. She slumps to her room. I hear her and Selena talk for a few minutes, but can't make out what they're saying.

°°°°°°

On the plane, Ella falls asleep, leaning on my shoulder. I look over at Selena. She smiles before shoving her lips to mine. her foot rubs up and down my leg as I pull back. "babe," I mumble, slightly moaning.

She laces her fingers with mine. "Tonight," she whispers.

Ella stirs beside me. I look over at her as she stretches. "My head hurts," she groans.

I press my lips to her forehead. "You're warm. we'll take your temperature when we get to the cabin."

She nods and goes back to sleep. Selena starts to rub my thigh. I lean my head back against the chair. "Wrong day to where sweatpants," she whispers before biting my ear.

I look down and mumble, "shit." She giggles and lifts the armrest between us. We cuddle for the rest the ride. ~ "Ella, baby we're here." I shake my daughter lightly.

She opens her eyes, standing up. Once we get to the cabin, Selena rushes to get a thermometer. Ella slowly follows her. "R-Riker!" Sel stutters.

I walk from my our room to the bathroom. "Yeah?" I lean against the door frame.

She looks at me worryingly. "She has a temperature of 104," she panics.

"Everything.. getting.. brighter," Ella says as she almost falls off the side of the tub.

I catch her before she hits the ground. "Ell, can you stand up?" I ask quickly. She nods, struggling to stand by herself. "I'll get you a drink and you can lay down," I say as I help her to the kitchen.

I hand her a water bottle. She sips until it's gone. I help her to the couch, allowing her to lay down. She soon falls asleep. Selena and I go upstairs to unpack. "Rik," sel whispers. I look over at her, seeing her bite her lip. "Come here," she says as she pats a spot on the bed next to her.

I sit next to her, lacing my fingers with hers. "Babe," I breathe out as she kisses down my neck. I grab the back of her thighs, flipping us over and laying on the bed. I nip at her bottom lip as I grind my hips against her.

"Rikey," she moans as she tries to take off my shirt. I sit up, allowing her to take it off. I kiss down her neck to her chest. "We can't do this now," she says quietly.

I pull back and lay on my back. She straddles my waist. "I need you," I say as I caress her side.

She stares at my hand. "Our.. daughter needs us," she gulps as Ella calls for us. Selena throws on her shirt, still on my waist. "In here, sweetie!" She calls.

Ella walks in, holding her head. "I'm hungry," she whines as she sits on the floor.

Selena giggles. "Well, I can make you something quickly," she gets off me.

"Aww come on!" I groan as I get up also. We all walk to the kitchen. as Selena cooks, I wrap my arm around her waist. "Mm, I can't wait to get you in bed," I whisper in her ear.

She giggles. "Stop, Riker."

"Dad, leave her alone. I haven't eaten in two days," Ella whines.

I let go of my girlfriend and sit at the table with Ella. "And why is that?" I wrap my arm around her shoulders.

"Because I didn't get out of bed for two days until you make me," she snaps.

I nod. "Yeah,yeah."
