5:30AM

I felt the bed move after the door bell went off for a second time. I groaned rolling over trying to go back to sleep, I could hear voices downstairs as I fell into a somewhat deep sleep. I woke up a little after the bed moved, once again. My eyes fluttered open as I felt small hands against my back. And no, it's not Buster. I turn my head, looking towards Jennifer.

"What did you do?" I asked quietly. There was a fucking baby in our bed. They had to be about 6 or 7 months old.

"What do you mean?"

"Who's baby did you steal?" She rolled her eyes, kicking me with her cold feet.

"This is my communications professors baby. She said if I watched her, she would make sure I passed her class." I sighed and turned away, going back to sleep. I'll deal with that when I wake up. And surprisingly, we all went back to sleep.

...

Around 7:30am the baby that laid between us started to wake up and I know Jennifer is a pretty heavy sleeper. Plus, she had a big game yesterday. So, why she agreed to babysit is a mystery to me.

I rolled over and faced the baby. She looked at me with big, sad eyes. My heart broke a little. I had to move fast. I first got up and quickly went into the bathroom to use it and wash my face. I went back into the bedroom and picked her up, "Come on let's go downstairs" I grabbed my phone and slipped my house shoes on before heading downstairs.

I went over to her diaper bag and pulled out everything to make her bottle. I'm not new to babies so I think I know what I'm doing. She played with the chain around my neck as I made her bottle. My mom showed me a trick once, you always stir the formula never shake. After her bottle was made, we made our way into the living room.

I sat back against the arm of the couch, my legs bent at the knees and I rested her against them. I guided the bottle to her mouth so she could eat. I sat there watching something on tv as she ate. After 20 minutes she was done eating. I placed the bottle aside and burped her.

I laid myself flat out with her on my chest now. She was getting sleepy and so was I, again. I covered us with a blanket and we fell asleep. My hand resting against her bum and her head tucked under my chin.

I woke up again around 9am. I did not mean to sleep that long but after yesterday's game my body was worn out. I rolled over and looked for Emily and the baby and didn't find them. I sighed and got up going into the bathroom. After I used the bathroom, I slipped my house shoes on, going downstairs. The sight before my eyes warmed my heart.

Emily and the baby, Rosie, were laying on the couch sound asleep with some baby show going in the background. I opened my camera app, taking a picture of them. As I walked closer to them, I could see Rosie starting to wake up. I leaned down and grabbed her.

"Good morning angel" I said going back upstairs to change her diaper. My baby fever is off the charts right now. But, I'm not going to tell Emily. We are too young for a baby but I want one so bad.

After I changed her diaper we went back downstairs so I could feed her. Her mom said she's in love with fruits. I grab the food from the fridge and sit her on the table while I sit in a chair. She can hold herself up. She babbles as we sit there.

"Why is there a baby in our kitchen?" Derek said walking in, half asleep. I'm pretty sure Rosie is waking up the whole house.

"Oh. Emily and I kidnapped her early this morning"

"Jennifer! Don't say that!" I hear her yell from the living room. I laugh. "No, she's my professors daughter. She said she'll pass me if I babysat for her."

"Hell yeah, that's dope as hell! I mean heck" I shake my head laughing as he goes to the fridge to get some food I'm assuming.

"Why we gotta baby in the house?" Tara said next coming downstairs.

"Oh. Emily and JJ kidnapped her this morning" Derek said repeating me from earlier.

"OH MY GOD" we heard Emily scream. We all laughed as she came into the kitchen.

"We did not steal that child." She said pouting. I picked Rosie up and walked over to her.

"Aw, we are just messing with you, isn't that right Rosie?" I said looking at Rosie, she was distracted by my hair as it hung in her face.

"I mean she is pretty cute.. Think her mom will miss her?" I rolled my eyes chuckling.

"I think she would and I'd probably lose my scholarship and everything else."

"Yeah, you're right. We can have our own one day or just stick with Buster, he's pretty chill" I looked over and saw Buster asleep in his bed. He's like our child already.

"So, what's everyone doing today?" Tara asked as we sat around the kitchen. Emily and Derek were actually cooking us breakfast for once. Garcia had came down and immediately took Rosie. My professor was also hers too.

"How about we go to the Zoo? I mean we do have Rosie after all." Emily said. She knows I love the Zoo and the butterfly exhibit.

"Oh yes! That sounds like fun! Derek can we go?" Pen asked.

"Of course babygirl" I guess that's settled then.

After we got done eating we all went to our rooms to get dressed for the day. It was pretty chilly outside so we had to dress warm. We decided to go with our Dior tracksuits Emily had gotten us. Emily and I always try to coordinate our outfits because we are THAT couple. Derek and Pen do it sometimes. Tara was inviting her lady friend as well.

Emily called in her Mercedes sprinter so we didn't have to take separate cars. We were picking up Lindsey, Tara's boo, on the way. I was excited to hang out with everyone and just relax especially after everything that happened.
