"Come on Y/N! Let's play hide and seek!" The blonde-headed toddler that you were babysitting exclaimed jumping up and down. You turned to face him as the youngest 9 month old child rested in your arms as you helped her drink the warm milk from the baby bottle.
"Just one second, Will, let me finish giving Ava her dinner, okay?" You reply back to the small boy in front of you.
He shrugs and nods impatiently walking away to sit on the couch. As the petite girl in your arms attempted to finish the much-filled bottle, you hear your phone ring. You sigh as you attempt to grab it out of the back pocket of your jeans. You struggle at first but manage to hold it firmly in your open hand.
The screen read "Jaboobs", the pet name you gave your boyfriend, Jacob, years ago. You grin at the screen and accept the call.
"BABE" He yells through the speaker.
"Well hello there!" You start to laugh at his silliness and you can practically see his smile through the phone.
"So tonight, I was thinking that you should let a rather attractive and charming guy take you out on a romantic dinner. We could go for fancy, regular, anywhere. As long as I can be with you." Jacob says causing you to smile and blush madly.
"I would love to accept the offer, but I am unfortunately on a date with Will right now." You say, your smile fading.
"Ahhh, babysitting tonight, I see." He says in realization. You nod in response somehow thinking he can see you.
"Well, how about the party comes to you and I can help?" He suggests. You sigh in relief and practically yell a "yes" to him.
"Alright, baby, I'll see you soon." He says and hangs up. You place your phone on the tallest counter away from Will so he has no way to steal it. Will was famous for taking things of yours.
About 4 months ago, he took your car keys that just so happened to be on the couch in the rather large living room. He took those keys so fast and hid them in one of his pairs of shoes for about 5 hours. He refused to give you the information to find the much needed keys, so you found them by yourself. Will had always been a trouble maker and manipulator and became better at it day by day.
You then hear a knock against the front, wooden door. Still wrapping the small child in your arms, you walk to the door and look through the peephole. To your expectation, Jacob is there, hands in his pockets, looking around the porch. You smile to yourself and open the door.
His smile was so bright and big it made you equal the size of your own.
"Hey, baby girl!" He says walking through the doorframe then planting a short, yet meaningful kiss on your cheek.
"Hey, babe." You say smiling at him as his smile remains.
"Who's your little friend here?" He asks motioning to Ava in your somewhat tired arms.
"Well, this is my new best friend, Ava." You say readjusting her to make her more comfortable.
"She's so cute!" He says lifting his shoulders up and tickling her tummy lightly.
"Almost as cute as me, right?" You ask sarcastically with a laugh. Jacob looks from the blonde haired baby back up at you.
"Eh, you're a close second." He says as the smile returns to his lips as he pulls you closer for a kiss. You were centimeters away from his plump lips when you hear the clearing of a throat.
Will.
Jacob snaps his head around quickly as you look to find an impatient Will standing with his arms crossed.
"Y/N, you said we could play hide and seek soon!" The boy complains walking closer to you. As if on cue, you feel a warm liquid on your shoulder meaning that Ava's dinner was not so satisfying. You hear the baby whimper before she starts to throw a complete fit of sobs.
"Don't worry, Y/N, I can take care of him." Jacob says to you and you. That was what you desperately needed to hear.
"Thank you so so much." You say to him over the child's cries. He nods at you before bending down to Will's size and they dash outside to the backyard.
Jacob's POV (i know really weird bc it's an imagine but just go with it):
The sky turned a shade darker signalizing that the sun was soon to set. My new little "friend", Will, and I have certainly been out here long enough for him to become weary and panting. Twenty-eight rounds of hide and go seek tag will do that to you.
"Hey, Jacob?" Will says quietly as the two of us sit on the swings. I turn to look at him, signalling that I heard him.
"Are you and Y/N friends?" He asks looking up at me.
"Of course we are!" I say putting my hands to the bars of the swing, swinging slightly.
"Are you guys like... boyfriend and girlfriend kind of friends?" He asks even quieter than before. I laugh a little and respond with a "yes".
"You must like her a lot, don't you?" The small boy asks. Thinking about her made me crazy. In a good way, of course. The way her smile naturally came. The way she laughed. The way she made the quirkiest jokes. The way she lit up the room just by walking in.
And while smiling to the ground, I responded, "Yes. I really do."
Your POV:
Lavender's green, dilly dilly,
Lavender's blue, You sang to the petite and peaceful child in your arms
When you are king, dilly dilly,
I shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so
Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork
Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm
Lavender's green, dilly dilly,
Lavender's blue
You must love me, dilly dilly,
For I love you
By the time you were finished, Ava was fast asleep in your arms. You smiled to yourself as you watched her stir in her sleep.
You couldn't help but think about someday this would possibly be real for you. You dreamt of being able to spend the rest of your life with Jacob. He was the one and you were sure of it. You were in love with him more than anyone else could ever be.
You thought of owning a cute, little house in the prettiest and safest area you could ever think of. You thought of being able to wake up to his beautiful face every morning. And you thought of being able to share kids with him. To share a life with him.
Interrupting your daydream, you feel two familiar arms snake around your waist.
"Someday." Jacob whispers into your ear before planting a small kiss on your temple.
