Late Night Catchups

"Naomi?"

Was too much in a daze for me to realize that I was now centimeters away from him, my hand shakily went up to caress his face,"hi."

He placed a hand over where mine, calming my shaking hand and leaned in gently pressing his lips on mine and all the fear that I had buried inside me was gone.

When the kiss broke my breath hitched as my hands slid down to his chest and the only thing I could get myself to say was,"you're shirt's on backwards."

Diego threw his head back and burst into laughter,"really, that's what came into your mind?"

"Sorry I'm nervous and I'm a mother of two now, it's become a habit, just pointing out littl-"

I was cut off with Diego's lips pressing against mine, except this time it was less soft as his hands cupped my face and mine went to the back of his neck and played with his now long hair.

"You talk too much,"he said wrapping me into a hug.

Resting my head on his chest, I let out a soft chuckle,"sorry, can't control my rambles."

Diego pressed a kiss to my forehead and butterflies fluttered in my stomach, I think Benji was getting tired of getting squashed in the middle, he made little grunting noises and swung his little limbs around, hitting Diego's chest.

"I think someone's tired of being squished in the middle," I said hoisting Benji up from the baby carrier, I looked up to see Diego who was looking down at the baby with a new face of love on his face, and if you looked clown enough into his eyes your could see him begin to tear up,"do you want to hold him?"

He nodded looking more nervous than ever, I placed him into Diego's arms and helped adjust Benji in his arms. The two of them stared at each other for a while until Benji started patting his face with his hands and one of his hands grabbed his long hair and pulled on it, and I immediately helped release Diego's hair.

"Shit, sorry he has a thing for hair."

"Well, mother like son,"Diego said with a smirk.

My face turned bright red as I punched his chest lightly,"I can't believe you just said that in front of a baby."

"Hey, at least it's a good joke,"Diego said grabbing my waist and pulling me closer to him and giving me an Eskimo kiss.

"Diego, you're going to open up your wound..."a girl stumbled out of the room, and I broke apart from Diego, feeling hurt but not wanting to jump to conclusions, I could see Diego could tell that I was hesitant, so he intertwined our hands together and he cleared his throat.

"Naomi, this is a friend of mine, Lila. Lila this is my girlfriend, Naomi."

I broke away from Diego and stuck my hand out,"hi, I love your hair, it's very punk."

Lila shook my hand with a thin smile on her face,"thank you, Diego talked about you very often in the mental ward."

My blood ran cold and Diego leaned in and whispered,"we'll talk about this later."

I nodded subconsciously as I nodded toward Lila who started putting on her boots,"I'm hungry I'm going to search for food."

She walked out of the door and I turned to Diego with a tiny frown on my face,"mental ward, Diego explain now!"

So he did, he told me how he tried to kill Oswald and he ended up in the mental ward and how he met Lila and the two escaped coming across three albino assassins. How he and Five broke into dad's umbrella company store and that it was dad who stabbed Diego. During all of this, Benji played with Diego's fingers as he was bounced on his knee, letting out an occasional coo.
