Enough love

18.

I can only imagine what is going through his head. What could Isabelle's mother possibly want. I hug Blake and just hold him. We don't say anything for a while. I wait until he is okay, I continue to rub his back trying to give as much comfort as I can.

He pulls away from my hold and gives me a small smile.
(Blake): "Thank you."
(Ethan): "You're welcome. Are you okay?"
(Blake): "I have no idea... I never thought she would seek me out. What would I do if she now want Isabelle? If there is a possibility of her taking Isabelle from me it would completely break me."
(Ethan): "She won't be able to take Isabelle from you. Just calm your mind... don't get stuck in negative thoughts. Isabelle would be sad to see you sad."

He nods his head and kisses my forehead. I smile shyly up at him and he takes my hand.

(Blake): "Come on Prince the Princess has requested for me to pick you up so you can have dinner with us."
(Ethan): "Okay we can't keep the Princess waiting."

He holds my hand as we walk back towards the bike. He helps me put the helmet back on and he zips up the jacket before getting on the bike. I get on behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. He drives toward his house where I know she beautiful daughter awaits. She is innocent she has no idea what is running through her fathers mind... she has no idea what awaits the next couple days and neither do I.

It would be stupid of me to say that I'm not nervous that her mother will say something along the lines of I want my daughter. Why else would she want to meet with Blake if that wasn't the case. I get lost in my thoughts about what could happen that I didn't notice when we arrived home.
What broke my thoughts was Isabelle running out yelling.

We enjoy a nice dinner with Isabelle and Blake's mother. When dinner is done I wash the dishes as Blake gets Isabelle ready for bed. I was the last dish when I feel small arms wrap around my thigh. I pick Isabelle up and tell her goodnight. I give she a kiss on the cheek and she gives one back. We smile as I bring her toward her room where Blake waits. We put Isabelle to bed together for the first time and head to the living room where Violet is sitting watching one of her shows.

Blake: " Okay Ma we are off to bed as well we have an early day tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning"

He gives his mother a kiss on the cheek.

Ethan: " Goodnight Violet. Sleep well."
Violet: "You both as well. Don't you worry about tomorrow we will fight and win if it comes down to it."

I give her a smile and Blake takes my hand and leads me to his room.

Ethan: "Ohh are you just assuming that I am going to share a bed with you?"
Blake: "I was hoping but if not you can have my bed and I'll sleep with Isabelle"
Ethan: "I was joking... you don't need to sleep with Isabelle we aren't children. We both like each other we can share a bed for the night."

He smiles at me and pulls me into a hug.
Blake: "You have no idea how thankful I am to you."

I run my fingers through his hair and pat his back

Ethan: "let's get ready for bed we have an early day tomorrow and I need clothes."
He gets dressed in his closet and hands me sweats and a T-shirt to wear. He throws my clothes in the wash so I at least have clean clothes to wear to this meeting.

We are both in bed and he pulls me into his arms and nuzzles his head into my neck. I feel his breath even out and it gets softer. I know now that he is asleep. I close my eyes and try my hardest to sleep.
He subconsciously rubs my hand with his thumb and it puts me to sleep fast.

It was a peaceful sleep, a relaxing sleep, and sleep that you don't get often enough and all to soon it was over by a tiny body jumping on the bed and a grunt in my ear.
