When the sun comes out- Demi lovato

~48~

"Okay. Have fun. I'll come by tomorrow, or the day after that. Or you can come to the station, if you want. Just don't leave without having seen me first" Peter said to Amelia, as he dropped us off at my house.

"Why don't you come for dinner with your family?" I suggested.

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, or the day after that. Whenever you want. Just let me know beforehand"

"Okay. I'll ask Gemma" he smiled.

"Yeah sure. Tell her I invited you and I want to se her again, so she can't turn down the offer, okay? I haven't seen her in ages"

"Okay. I'll tell her. See you guys soon" he waved, as I closed the car door, once all the bags were out, and he drove off.

"Okay. Let's get this inside. If you take Amanda, I'll take all the bags, yeah?"

"Sure" she smiled, as she stared pushing Amanda's stroller to the front door.

"Corey's not home yet, so we can surprise him. Do you wanna do that?" I asked, as I opened the door.

"That's gonna be fun"

"Okay. Let's put all your stuff in your room and you can settle down a little. I'll take care if Amanda, on the meantime, okay? Go unpack and make yourself comfortable" I sent her upstairs with her bags.

"Where's she gonna sleep?" she asked about Mandy.

"I think we'll take her in our room" I said.

"But she waked up at night"

"I know. That's why we're taking her. We only have one other bedroom, but she can't sleep there in her own. It's very small and uncomfortable and I don't want her sleeping there. You never know, it might be haunted" I laughed.

"So, I can take her in my room"

"Sweetheart, you have to be able to sleep through the night, without being woken up by a baby. You have school and you're growing, you need your sleep. It's important"

"But I've been doing it for the past few days"

"I know. And now you're gonna catch up on the sleep you've missed. Amelia, there's no point in arguing with me about this. Maybe, if Drake has a problem with it, I'll consider it, but don't count on it"

"Okay" she huffed and took her bags upstairs.

I got Amanda out of her stroller and took off her coat, without waking her up.
I looked at her and studied her face. She's really cute, actually.
I sat down on the couch with her in my arms, still sleeping.
Oh, how I miss having such a small baby I remember when Corey was like this. It feels like yesterday, and like such a long time ago, at the same time.
I love having a small baby. I love kids in general, but I love them most when they can't do that much yet. When they're just figuring everything out and when you can celebrate a new milestone every few weeks. When all you have to do, is make sure that they eat and sleep and just make sure that they're happy.
I wanted more kids, actually. I loved being pregnant, giving birth, raising a child. But for now, Drake didn't want another one. Before we got married, he didn't even want one, but I managed to convince him to have a kid.
After Corey had turned two, Drake said something about how he missed Corey being a baby. I took it as a cue to bring up having more kids. Then he said, that in the future he might consider it, but for now he's good with one. I hope he cancels his mind, though, but I'm not gonna push him. We're a perfectly happy family, am it would be fun to have another member, but if he doesn't want to then I'll just have to live with what we have.

Amanda started moving and eventually opened her eyes, revealing a beautiful blue color.
She looked at me and I smiled down at her.
She stared whining a little and I decided to feed her a bottle. It was about three hours ago that we were in the hospital, so she could have one now.

As I sat on the couch feeding Amanda, I heard the front door open.
Drake and Corey came into the living room and Drake gave me a confusing look.

"Hi mommy" Corey chirped.

"Hi, bubba. How was your day?" I decided to ignore Drake's look for now.

"Good. Who's the baby?" he walked over to me, to look at her.

"This is Amanda or Mandy. However you wanna call her"

"Who's baby is it?"

"It's Brody and Ruby's"

"What's she doing here? Who are Brody and Ruby?"

"She's gonna be staying with us for a few days. Her mommy had to go to the hospital for a few days, so I offered to take are of her" I explained.
I saw an understanding look come across Drake's face. I had told him that Ruby was in the hospital and that I was gonna visit her, so he probably understood what had happened.

"Wait, only she came with you?" Drake asked.

"No. So basically, Brody's not dealing well with the situation" I stared explaining.

"What happened?" he asked.

"She had an epileptic attack and turns out she has a rare kind of epilepsy that they can't cure and can eventually lead to death" I said, as I explained all that she had told me.

"So, she's can die soon?" He asked, after I told him everything I knew.

"Yeah. We hope she won't! obviously"

"But that doesn't exactly explain the baby"

"Yeah, so Peter and I were there as she told us that Debby is stating at her parents house, but that Amelia didn't want to. She wanted to stay at home with the baby and Brody. The problem is, Brody isn't I'm the right state of mind to take care of anyone. Not even himself. So Amelia was taking care of the whole house, the baby and she still had to go to school during the day. Ruby wanted to have someone help her, but she refused, so we decided that she can stay here for as long as it is needed, wit Amanda. I hope you don't mind"

"No, not at all. I'm happy to have he here again and I'd love to have a little baby in the house again. It's been so long since Corey was that age" he smiled, as he kissed me on my lips.

"Where is Corey?" I asked, noticing be wasn't in the room anymore.

"Probably the kitchen. I'll go get him to come see Amelia. Where is she?"

"Upstairs, but I'll call her down"

"That's okay. You're busy. I'll call her" he walked to the stairs and yelled out her name.
She was down and in his embrace, less then a minute later.

"God, how I missed you" he smiled, as they pulled away from the hug.

"I missed you too. Where's Corey?"

"Living room" I said, just as Corey came in from the kitchen.

"Corey. Look who's here" Drake exclaimed, as he walked in with Amelia, who was smiling big. Obviously excited to see him.
Corey looked at them. First he looked confused, but then it hit him.

"What are you doing here? I don't wanna see you, no more" he screamed at her, before he gave us all and angry look and sprinted off to the backyard, closing the door behind him. Leaving us inside, shocked and confused.
