Ransom, Isabella and I stay in the water for a while longer, and Ransom gives me a lot of little kisses on my nose and cheeks. I like kissing his cheeks and his chin most, so that's what I do a lot. When it's almost time for dinner, we get out of the water and get dry.

We put on some clothes inside, taking turns on the bathroom in the room we're staying tonight, and get back outside. I play with Isa for a while, but Mila calls for Ransom so he goes there, while I talk to Miles.

Ransom's POV

Mila called for me, so I walk up to her and sit down on the chair next to her. "I like the way you treat Isabella, it's cute to see her cheering when she sees you" Mila says, making me smile. "Yeah, she's a great kid" I reply, and she smiles back at me.

"It's the same with my sister, actually. She looks really happy when you're around, she hasn't been looking that happy for years. Although she and I don't have the best bond, I do like to see her like that" she adds.

"Well, I'm glad she looks happy. She makes me happy too" I kindly say, and Mila nods her head. "I um... I actually called you over here to ask and tell you something" she starts, looking a little more serious now. I nod my head to let her speak, and silently sigh.

"Amelia is going to feel down when I'm not here anymore. Not just because of the loss, but because of the fact that she's officially going to be Isabella's guardian. It's going to be a great responsibility, and she's going to feel that. It's going to be tough for her, I know it is, so I wanted to ask you if you can just... Just stay with her. I don't want her to go through that alone, and I know how good you are with Isa, so... Even if it just means that you stay with her, will you please help her?" she asks, making me frown a little.

Her story really touches me, and because of that, I suddenly start feeling a lot of things. I know that what I have with Amelia is fake, but I also know that it's my life mission to protect her and her little baby niece at all costs. Why? Because I love them.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll be there for her, for the both of them every step of the way. I promise, I won't leave either of them" I tell her, making her smile. "That's good, thank you for that" she says, so we both smile again and get to the table for dinner.

Back to Amelia's POV

Ransom sits down next to me after I put Isabella in her baby chair, and we all have dinner together. We have fun, and luckily, Isabella feels good too. We all go back inside, clean everything up and watch a movie while Isabella is asleep upstairs.

I cuddle up to Ransom on the couch, but not too much because my family is here. When it's 1am, we all get to bed. Ransom and I go to the room we're staying in, and take turns on the bathroom. Ransom let's me go first, so I take a shower and come out again in my pajamas.

"You can go" I say, letting myself fall down on the bed, next to Ransom. He smiles at me, bows down to give me a kiss on my cheek, and gets in the bathroom as well.

He takes a shower too, and gets in bed with me once he's done. "Are you okay with this?" he asks, talking about us sleeping in the same bed. "I am, yeah! Are you?" I ask in reply, making him smile as he lays on his back, looking at me.

"Definitely" he adds, so we both smile again. "It's cold in here, isn't it?" I ask, pulling the sheets up even more. "Well, my body is still warm from the shower. Come here" he chuckles, opening up his arms for me.

I brightly smile, silently giggle and move towards him. I lay down in his arms, with my head on his chest and close my eyes. "Goodnight handsome, thank you for being here. I had the best day with you" I say, and I kiss his chest a few times.

"Thank you for taking me, beautiful. I had the best time too, goodnight sweetheart" he replies to me, kissing the top of my head before we fall asleep.

Suddenly, I get woken up by Isabella's cry. I frown a little, rub my eyes and look at the clock. It's 3am, so I silently sigh and see Ransom waking up as well. I softly get out of his grip, roll over to my side of the bed and get the sheets off of me.

"Stay here sweetheart, I'll go get her" Ransom silently says, sitting up straight and getting out of the bed. I look at him, and see him running his hand though his hair as he looks at me with a smile.

"Thank you honey..." I silently say, almost whispering as I grab the sheets again. He bows down one more time, kisses my nose and walks out to get Isa. He's the best!

After only a little while, he walks in again with my little baby niece in his arms. He closes the door behind him, and I sit up against the headboard. "I think she's okay now" Ransom says, looking at me while Isabella cuddles up against his chest.

"Yeah, she just needs to be cuddled sometimes" I silently giggle, and they both get in bed. We all lay down again, and Isabella makes cute little noises against his chest.

After a little while, she falls asleep. It makes me smile so I lay down with my head on his shoulder, kiss Isabella's forehead, kiss Ransom's shoulder and silently sigh before falling asleep again.

I get woken up the next morning my the door of the room opening. I'm still cuddled up to Ransom, and Isabella is still sleeping on his chest. I softly smile, look up and see my mom walking in.

"Goodmorning, sweetie" she whispers, sitting down on my side of the bed. "Goodmorning mom" I silently sigh, letting go of Ransom and turning around to face her.

"This is really cute, look at them!" she giggles, making me smile. "I know, they're like this a lot" I tell, and we both smile again. "Are you guys coming for breakfast? I made pancakes, and French toast and things like that" she says, so I nod my head.

"I'll wake them up, we'll be right there" I reply, so she smiles at me and walks out again. I silently sigh, turn over to my other side again and see my two favorite people in the world, still asleep.

I hold myself up with my elbows, and start kissing all over Ransom's perfect face. Everywhere, except for on his lips. He wakes up after a little while, slowly opens his eyes and immediately smiles.

"What a way to wake up" he whispers, making me laugh. "Goodmorning, handsome" I giggle, and he keeps smiling. "Goodmorning, beautiful" he replies, and I smile back at him.

Isabella walks up as well, and starts giggling as she sees Ransom and me. She makes her way towards his face, and starts kissing it. It makes us laugh, and after that, we get ready for breakfast.
