The awkard cuddle

I groaned as Emma cried out for what felt like the hundredth time. Tucker and Ben had ditched, and Riley had scampered off after Ben, leaving me with the baby and the bigger baby. She was refusing to eat and I wasn't having any of it. "Just take the bottle, look, see this? It's yours!" I exclaimed, but that just made her take a short pause before bursting back into tears.

Danny came out of the bathroom, in nothing but a towel, and I froze in my steps. Hot damn. I could see the clear indents of his muscles from hockey games and practices, and all I could imagine was running my tongue-

I stopped that thought before it could go anywhere, feeling guilty about it as there was a kid in front of me.
"Dan, she's not eating." I said, trying my best to keep my mouth in line with what I wanted it to do.

"Have you tried the airplane bullcrap?" He asked, coming over.
No, I thought, please don't come over. My self control can only go so far, so don't come over here, or else I might just do something incredibly awkward and inappropriate. "I've tried everything under the sun, you think I'm too much of an idiot to do that? It's the oldest trick in the book." I rolled my eyes, keeping my voice steady as if I wasn't secretly thinking about him taking me on the counter right here, right now.

He took the bottle from me, and my fingertips buzzed when he touched them. What was all these new feelings I had? The crazy, hormonal thoughts? I wasn't on my period, I just ended that, so it wasn't that hormone imbalance. I've been taking my pills regularly, none skipped, so that wasn't it. Plus, I hadn't missed a day of birth control either. I felt my heart tightening as he cooed over the baby and she started sucking on the bottle.

Crap. This couldn't be. I had a crush on Danny.

Well, this was not going according to plan. He was head over heels for Riley, and she was in love with his brother. This whole thing is a huge mess.

I took Emma from her car seat when she was done and started burping her when I felt something warm trickle down my shoulder. When I turned my head, I saw there was a huge white stain embedding in my t-shirt. "Awe, gross, Emma!" I exclaimed, setting her back down. She giggled at my misfortune she had caused and I went into the the hall, knocking on Danny's door. "Emma puked on me, can I borrow a shirt?"

He popped out suddenly, holding a large t-shirt as he closed his door tightly behind him. "Thanks." I said, and quickly changed in the hallway, forgetting that we were opposing genders since I was used to getting dressed in front of Riley.

I think I heard him mutter something along the lines of, "holy crap," but I couldn't hear that well, so I shrugged it off and returned to Emma as quick as I could. I tied a knot in Danny's shirt on the side to make it fit better, and luckily that helped.

Emma was quick to fall asleep after having puked on me, so I put her in the spot they made for her, which seemed quite a bit of a make-shift bed. I tucked her in and crept out to the living room, where Danny was watching a hockey game and drinking a beer. "Who's playing?" I asked, pulling my hair into a high pony-tail.

He shrugged and took another sip. "I see." I commented, plopping myself beside him. The couch dipped in favour of his weight, so I slid to his side. Without a second thought, he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into his side, and I widened my eyes, keeping my head straight at the tv. I can't say anything, I won't. It would be too awkward. Instead, I settle for cuddling against his chest and closing my eyes, finally getting some rest.
