How We Met (discontinued)

Chapter 12

"Mama" Avery asks. "Ya baby?" I reply to her. "What do those flowers look like." She asks and I smile. "Well let me show you" I say setting her off my lap and standing up. I take her little hand in mine, and I guide her to the corner of the room.

I crouch down to be closer to her height. "This is what they look like" I tell her, showing her the plant. I watch as her eyes light up looking at all of the flowers. "They are so pretty." She says and I laugh. "Just like you" I say and I boop her on the nose.

She giggles slightly and wraps her little arms around my neck. My heart instantly melts as I wrap my arms around her. I stand up, with her still in my arms, and I spin around in a circle. She lets out a loud laugh and it makes me smile.

After I finish spinning, I put her on my hip and I walk back to the chair we were in before. "Do you want me to continue the story?" I ask her as I sit in the chair and place her on my lap. "Yes please" She says as she gets comfortable.

Flash back

"CALEB" I shout as I enter the house with the jade plant and my new cactus in my hands. "WHAT?" He shouts back from his room. "CAN YOU HELP ME FOR A MINUTE?" I shout up the stairs. "NO, I'M WATCHING TUBBO'S STREAM RIGHT NOW." He says and I role my eyes.

"What's happening out here?" My mom asks as she exits her office. I assume she's done working for the day. "I was just asking Caleb for some help me get my plants out of the trunk of my car." I tell her as I hand her the jade plant. "Thank you by the way. How much was it." She asks as she pulls her phone out of her pocket, most likely opening up Venmo.

"No, its fine mom, it wasn't much, its on me. Plus, I knew the guy working there and he gave me a plant for free." I tell her and she puts her phone back in her pocket. "Oh really" She says wiggling her eyebrows a bit.

I laugh slightly, "No mom, you know what just happened, you were there for the aftermath. I'm not fully mentally stable to start dating again." I tell her. "Ok, ok" She says and she takes her jade plant into the kitchen.

I head up the stairs and walk into Caleb's room. "What" He says moving his headphones off of his right ear turning slightly towards me. "Can't you see I'm watching Tubbo's stream" He says and I look at the screen of his pc to see Minecraft, of course.

"hey I need your help for like five minutes." I tell him. "With what?" He asks. "I just got back from the nursery and I need help moving the roses I got to the backyard so that I can plant them." I tell him. "Fine, but I'm only helping you move them, I will not be helping you plant them." He tells me and I laugh.

"Why do you think I would let you do that, you would only do it wrong." I say taunting him a bit. He takes his headphones off and spins around in his gaming chair to face me. He stands up and we make our way out to my car.

I pop the trunk open and grab one of the rose bushes. I look over to Caleb and he has a small smile on his face, he recognizes them. "You got grandma's roses." He says and I hum a response. He grabs another one of the rose bushes and we make our way to the backyard and set them down by where I was planning on planting them.

We go back to my car and he grabs the last rose bush, while I grab the heart flowers ( A/N- That's just what I'm calling them because I don't want to say the full name twenty million times) I close the trunk door and we make our way to where the other flowers are.

"So, what is that?" He asks me, referring to the plant I had in my hands. "They're my favorite flowers." I tell him. "They're pretty, although I thought roses were your favorite." He says and I laugh slightly. "Why, cause they were grandma's favorite?"

"Well, ya. Weren't you two like the exact same person." He says and I laugh slightly. "I wish I could love roses like she did. She treated them like they were new born babies." I say and we make it to the other roses.

"Hey, I know I sounded a little annoyed earlier when you asked for help, but I just want you to know that if you need it, I will help you plant them. I can just watch the vod tomorrow." He says and I smile. "Thanks, but I got it." I reply to him.

"Are you sure, it really is just Tubbo and Ranboo messing around on the dream smp." He says and I recognize the name a bit. (Pretend that Ranboo is a more normal name that you could get confused with.) "That's funny, I met a Ranboo today, he showed me around the school." I tell him.

"Funny coincidence." He replies, "Ok but really, if you need any help, I do want to help you." He says and I smile. "No, get back to Tubbo's stream, I don't want you to miss anymore of it." I tell him.

It might seem like he was treating me like this because of my cancer, but I knew he wasn't. He has always been like this. Always wanting to help me out with everything. He is such a soft boy, and I'm just worried, because I know one day, some girl is going to take advantage of it.
