Chapter 8

I go back to playing with pip. God why am I so concerned I shouldn’t be concerned this much right? Why must I over analyze everything? Why isn’t John concerned?

Susan joins Pip and I on the floor. "Hey Girley,  wanna play with Pip?" I ask. She nods happily and picks up a toy that Pip loves. I never thought I would love kids as much as I do right now; I even made a bond with Susan. I hope one day, John and I can even adopt another kid. That would be amazing. 

 I actually end up playing with them for a while. It was pretty fun getting to bond with them even more. Though I had to stop so I could make lunch for them.

"What do you guys want to eat?" I ask, coming back from the kitchen after washing my hands. "Sandwiches is fine, babe." John says as he plays with Pip. I don't think he realized what he just said. I blush furiously. 

 I regain composure before going back to the kitchen to make lunch. Once I finish making the sandwiches I bring them to the living room and start passing them out.

"Susan isn't allergic to anything, right?" I confirm. Maria nods and feeds Susan the cut up sandwiches while John, Eliza and I eat out full ones. Pip ate a big breakfast and insisted he did not want lunch. 

 “I think it’s almost time for a nap for pip here”, I say. “Well we can head home”, Eliza says. Pip looks angry by me saying that. I take it he doesn’t want a nap but he needs one just like everyday at this time. 

Susan quickly goes over to Pip and hugs him. "I don't wanna leave!" She shouts at her moms. I flinch a bit at the noise. "Susie, you too." Eliza says and carefully picks her up, avoiding the kicking and punches Susan was trying to throw at her. 

 Maria and Eliza leave with Susan and I carry pip to his crib. Contrary to how he was acting earlier he fell asleep really quickly. After I make sure he’s peacefully asleep I go out to the living room and flop onto the couch next to John.

"Pip is asleep. You think we have enough time to do a stream?" He asks. I shrug. "We could, but we could also wait until he's asleep later so we don't have to worry too much." I remind him. He nods and puts on a movie while cuddling me. 

 The moment brings a tranquility that I haven’t felt in a long time. I take a moment to appreciate all the good things that have happened in my life recently like John and pip. Then I cuddle closer into John. “I don’t know what I would do without you”, I whisper.

John kisses my head and holds me. "And I you." He whispers back and continues to kiss my head. Maybe it's his love language? "You're such a great dad with Pip too. You're so cute when you're with him." He continues, making me blush again. 

 “You’re just as great of a dad”, I say practically as red as a tomato at this point. John noticed that as he says, “you look cute when your blushing Lex” which only makes it worse. How is it even possible to blush this much.

"Now I'm mad cause I don't know how to make you this red." I joke with a fake groan. John laughs and kisses my nose. "Well then I guess I'm safe, aren't I?" I sigh and nod. "You're safe.." I grumble.

 That’s when I had an idea. Maybe my accent will work on him. I bet he won’t see that coming. “John I love you”, I say, letting my accent slip. He turns bright red. This is all going according to plan.

"How- the heck- did you do that?" John mumbles and gets up from our cuddle. I groan, "come back! Warmth!" I reach for him, still not covering up my accent. "Alex please-" John begs and gives in to cuddle me again. 

 “I am from the Caribbean”, I explain, “So this is how I actually sound and I just fake an American accent all the time”, I say. “Well it’s a pretty convincing one”, he responds.

"But I can do better." He whispers. "Is that a challenge, Mr. Laurens?" I ask. "I guess it is, Mr. Hamilton." He chuckles. He clears his through and says, "I love you too, handsome," in the most perfect southern accent I've ever heard. "Oh my god-" I turn dark red again. 

 My plan has failed me. I cover my face and burrow into his side. “Aw cmon Lexi don’t hide your beautiful face from me”, he says. “I- how- why- what-“, I randomly start stuttering. 

I hear Pip start crying from John's room. "Saved by the kid." I mumble and rush to get him first. But when I get there, he's sleeping peacefully. So who was crying?
