BETTER TOGETHER [18+] ✔️

Part 25

November 20th, 2019
3 weeks after the birth

We've had Atlas home for 3 weeks now, he looks more and more like Jennifer each day. His little blonde hairs standing up everywhere on his head. His wide eyes and button nose. Our moms had just left to return home and we were nervous to say the less.

"Just us 3 now." Jennifer said after walking our moms out to their cars. I was in the recliner with Ace nursing him.

"Just us" she plopped down on the couch sighing.

"You think we can do it alone?" She asked after a little bit.

"Do what baby?"

"Be parents, I mean we've had our moms here everyday for 3 weeks helping and giving us advice but now it's just us two with a human being. He's depending on us and I'm kind of nervous." I looked at her with a pout. It was breaking my heart to see her so nervous and scared.

"Aw baby. You're gonna be amazing, I swear you will. I'm nervous too if that helps any. I mean carrying and caring are two different things. I have to watch over him more, feed him more, take care of him. It's weird being a mom." She chuckled.

"You got that right.." after I was done feeding and burping him I handed him to Jennifer so they could take a nap together. They always looked so adorable sleeping, they sleep the same way and I might have cried the first time I seen it.

While they napped I decided to go upstairs and clean up our room, it's messy with all kinds of clothes, towels, and whatever else laying around. I started by opening all the windows and lighting some candles. After the room, I moved into the bathroom.

I threw all of Ace's clothes into the washer to clean them. I organized his room and hung up any of of his new things.

I woke up to Ace whimpering. I stretched and looked around for Emily.

"What's wrong buddy?" I sat up and picked him up rubbing his back. It took him a minute to settle down. "Let's go find mommy huh?" We walked around all downstairs, no Emily. I headed up to our room and there she was sound asleep in bed, her black hair fanning out around her. My pillow clutched tightly in her arms.

"Let's go play some call of duty" I closed the door softly then headed back downstairs. I made Ace a bottle then went to the movie room to play my game. I sat down and laid Ace on my chest with his bottle while I played the game.

....

"There you guys are" Emily said coming into the room 2 hours later. She had on one of my hoodies and her hair in a messy bun.

"Hey baby. Yeah you were sleeping so we came in here to play the game" she came over and took Ace from me, she plopped down beside me. Her feet resting against my thigh.

"Are you winning?"

"That shouldn't even be a question" she chuckled. She laid there and watched me while she nursed Ace again. I kept sneaking glances at her and my heart would beat a little faster every time. She was so beautiful as she stared at our son. I couldn't wait to marry her. She caught me the last time and smiled my way, she nudged me with her foot.

"You okay?" I paused the game and laid the controller down. I grab her foot and kissed it before smiling.

"I'm amazing. I want to get married.. Tomorrow. I don't want a big wedding, I don't care about the location, I just want you to have my last name. I can't go another day with you as a Prentiss. You're my person" she looked at me with so some much love in her eyes, they were swimming with tears.

"Okay.." she whispered as a tear rolled down her face.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, let's get married" I let out the deep breath I was holding and leaned over Ace pressing my lips against hers. I pulled back and leaned my forehead against hers.

"I love you so much"

"I love you too baby, so much"
