Those Amber Eyes

Chapter 13 - Montauk

Ash's POV

I opened my eyes, knowing I went to bed with Scarlett curled against me; but this weight laying on me is too light to be her. I brushed the hair from her eyes and I melted. Little Rose was curled up on me sleeping soundly, her little bear clutched close. I looked to my right and there was her mother, snuggled against me.

One hand rubbing Rose's back and the other wrapped around Scarlett. I smiled to myself, thinking how lucky I am to have her back in my life.

While I waited for them to wake up, I grabbed my phone, and started making arrangements for the next few weeks. It didn't take me long. I'm used to moving around.

Since my girls are still sleeping, I decided to make them breakfast, kissing little Rose's head, and then Scarlett's, I shifted Rose next to her Mom. She stirred a bit and cuddled right into her Mom.

I made my way to the kitchen, putting on a fresh pot of coffee, and gathering the ingredients for breakfast. I put on some soft jazz and started cooking. As I finished frying the bacon I felt a tiny tug on my silk pajama bottoms. Looking down I saw Rose, with her blanket and bear, looking up at me. I reached down, lifting her into my arms. Much like her mom, she snuggled into my neck, perfectly content.

As I finished the pancakes, I felt a hand on my waist, turning to find the other blonde smiling up at me.

"Good morning love, sleep well?" I asked, giving her a soft kiss.

"I did." She said, smiling. "When did Rose get in bed with us?"

"I have no idea. I woke up this morning with her on my chest, and you snuggled into my side."

"Well hello little miss." Scarlett said to Rose, and I heard a muffled giggle under my chin.

I kissed the little head. "Are you ready for some pancakes baby girl?"

"Yes, pwease Ashy."

I settled Rose in her chair, while Scarlett cut up her pancake and added a few pieces of bacon. We all sat down, eating breakfast together. Rose somehow managed to wiggle back into my lap.

"Rose baby, we gotta get ready to head home, ok? We gotta pack, and then we are heading to Montauk for a few weeks." Scarlett said softly.

Rose buried her head in my chest. "No. I wanna tay wif Ashy." she pouted.

"Baby girl, you gotta go home with Momma and pack. What if Mommy forgets something of yours?" I asked softly.

"Wanna tay wif you, Ashy." she said, looking up at me with little tears brimming.

"Baby girl, don't cry. I gotta pack too, cause I'm gonna stay with you and Mommy. Would you like that?"

"Yes!!!" she squealed.

"Ok, now, you get your stuff together, and go with Mommy, and I will pick you guys up. Will you help Mommy for me? Pinky promise?" I asked, offering my pinkie.

"Pinkie pwomise." she said, giving me her little pinky.

Scarlett smiled at us, taking Rose from my lap, setting her down. Rose ran back to my guest room. Scarlett slid onto my lap, caressing my cheek, and softly kissing me.

"What's that for?"

"Good morning," she grinned, sliding off my lap, and sways her hips all the way to my bedroom. Lord that women will be the death of me.

I cleaned up the kitchen while Scarlett and Rose got ready. Once they were ready, we took my private elevator to the garage where Scarlett had left her car. I kissed Rose on her head, and made sure she was buckled in. I walked around to Scarlett's door, kissing her softly.
