JJ's POV:

We were hanging out at my house and then Kie said, "Come back to my house and come eat. I don't want you to be alone on Thanksgiving. Our first Thanksgiving as a family."

We got the baby in Kie's car and she drove to her house and I was so nervous. We walked in and all eyes were on us. Kie was holding Lily in her arms and I was standing next to them.

"Absolutely not, not pogues here for Thanksgiving." Anna declared

"Mom, can you and dad come outside for a minute." Kie said as her parents followed us outside. Kie had handed the baby to Ryan so it was just the four of us

"JJ, you need to leave." Anna said

"He isn't going anywhere. I know you love Ryan and you think he's perfect and we're the perfect little family, but I lied. Ryan isn't my boyfriend, he's just a friend and he isn't Lily's dad either. JJ is the love of my life and the father of our little girl. Yes, according to you, I fucked up my life just like you did with dad when you had me. But unlike you, I will love my daughter no matter what." Kie said starting to cry

Anna turned around and I could tell she was pissed. Her dad looked like he was ready to murder me. I know that her parents wanted the father to be a kook, but they would prefer John B or Pope over me. They hated me, they knew where I came from and they knew what kind of father I had growing up.

In fact, her mom said, "Really, Kiara? You couldn't have gotten pregnant with John B? Pope? No, it had to be JJ. Kiara, you are stupid for telling him. He's going to be the worst father in the world to Lily. Have you seen how his father is to him."

Kie interrupted her mom and said, "Shut the fuck up. I love JJ and there is no one else I would want to have a baby with. JJ is going to be the best dad ever to his little girl. Yes, his father is horrible, but JJ knows what that feels like to have a horrible father. Just like. I know what it's like to have a horrible mother."

Kie walked inside and grabbed the baby and told me to bring her to the car. Kie came back out with two suitcases and then she went back in and came out with a container full of food. I was driving back to my house and Kie was crying. I thanked her for standing up for me and she was just pissed and embarrassed by their behavior.  We went back to my house and had our first Thanksgiving together. It was perfect. 

The next day, Kie and I went to John B's to see the pogues. The Pogues saw me holding the baby and Kie told them that we were together and that the baby was mine. They were all super happy and giving me shit about not knowing a thing about babies. Pope was the only one who seemed upset.

"So Kiara, you literally had a thing for all of us..." Pope chuckled but in a mad way

"It's always been JJ.." Kie said kissing me

Thanksgiving break was over that night. Kie had college in California and I had work here. Kie told me that she was transferring schools after this semester but she was going back for two weeks to finish the semester. Kie was going to move into my dad's house so I had the job of cleaning the place up and getting it ready for my girls.

Kie left on a plane with our daughter and Ryan. It was so hard to let them go but we would facetime multiple times a day. Finally, Kie had finished her finals and I got on a plane to go out to California. We hung out the first day and surfed and then I helped her back up her small apartment. We had a small moving truck that Ryan and I were driving back to OBX and the girls were flying. 

We were finally home for Christmas. I even had decorations and a tree up. Kie loved Christmas and was super surprised. Ryan flew back to California. He was a really good guy. Kie got my old bedroom all set up as the nursery for Lily and we moved into my father's old room. We painted and cleaned everything. The house was like new, like this could be a happy place. 

It was late and Kie was busy cleaning. I was in the new nursey standing by the crib, holding my little girl and I couldn't believe she was mine. She was so perfect.

"Lil, I know you don't understand a word that I'm saying but I'm your daddy and I love you so much. I promise to protect you from all the bad things in this world. I don't know how to be a dad, but I promise you that I will always do my best and that I will love you and your mommy forever."

I looked over and Kie was standing outside the room, crying. She came in and hugged me. I kissed the top of her head and we said goodnight to our daughter. We left the room and Kie and I went to our bedroom. She re-did it perfectly. 

"I love you so much and I was pissed when you came home with Ryan and a baby because I thought that meant I lost you forever."

"You'll never lose me.. I love you and I've missed you so much, JJ"

I kissed her and we were making out. I broke the kiss and said, "I think we need to practice making another baby."

She laughed and said, "This time, we're both sober..." 

I could tell she was nervous. She was right, last time it was dark and we were high and drunk. Now she was totally embarrassed and nervous. I kissed every inch of her body and told her how beautiful she was. 

Christmas rolled around and we were at Kie's parent's house. They had apologized and seen me with Lily and her mom broke down saying how awful she felt. She had been amazing ever since. 

Our friends loved our little girl and constantly wanted to hold her. I was taking Kie out on a date tonight to the beach. It was just super low-key but it was perfect because the night ended with me getting down on one knee and asking Kie to marry me. 

It was just a simple ring, but she loved it and of course, said yes. My life was perfect, I was engaged to the love of my life and together we have a baby.
