Brennen's best friend// Colby Brock

103| Reconciliation

Madison's P.O.V

As we sit and watch moana and also keep
an eye on Freddie, I start to wonder if this is what it will be like.

I look up at Colby's crafted face. His sharp jawline. His full lips. His crystal blue eyes. I don't realize i'm staring until he looks down at me.

"What are you thinking about?" He asks, turning his attention to me.

"Colby," I take a deep breath. I'm scared to tell him because what if he doesn't feel the same way. What if he's okay with staying apart and co-parenting.

"Yes Madison?" He asks, breaking me from my thoughts.

"I just wanted to say that I have had such a great day with you and Freddie so far and it's made me realize something." Here we go. It's now or never. "I love you Colby. I don't care what happened with Amber. I love you and I want to be with you. I want us to be a whole family. I want to end up having more kids. I just want you Colby."

He sits there quietly for a few moments before he gets up. Shit. He doesn't feel the same way and now I look like a fool.

"You know, I was hoping you'd tell me something like that sometime soon." He walks over to his desk and opens a drawer to get something out. I couldnt tell what it was but it was small.

He comes back to sit next to me.

"Is everything okay?" I ask as he looks at me.

"I want to give you something," he pulls out the engagement ring that I returned to him when I found out he cheated. "I'm not saying that we have to be engages right away again. I just wanted to let you know that this time, I swear I won't cheat and I know that it doesn't really mean much if I promise I won't because of my past but we have a child now. It's different. I know that cheating on you but you so bad and i'm so sorry. He's just a boy. I can't already have him hate me so young. So I promise you that if you want to be together I won't cheat and even if you don't want to be together right now, i'll wait on you. I won't get with another person. I only want you and our son of course."

What he said left me speechless. Does he really
mean it? Should we make the decision about being together again right now? I keep thinking for a few minutes.

"What are you thinking?" He asks, calmly.

"Yes. I'll wear your ring. Yes. I'll be with you, yes." I look down smiling.

He lifts my chin up with his fingers and makes me look at him. This feeling is coming back to me. I've missed him so much. His smell, his touch, everything.

"I thought you were going to say no with thinking that long." He chuckles and pulls me in to kiss me.

He smiles into the kiss and we pull away.

"I love you." He whispers as he caressed my cheek. His forehead on mine.

"I love you too." I give a small smile and then lay my head on his chest.

All of the sudden we hear the baby start crying. I get up quickly and Colby follows.

We get to his crib and see him crying at the pet
of the movie where the lady of the island is on fire.

I pick him up and hold him. Colby stands behind us and we both try to make him feel better.

"Hey we should change him and then go see what everyone else is doing." I suggest after we get him calmed down.
