EEEEEEK I HOPE YOU LOVE THIS! AHHHHHH THE ENDING WASN'T PLANNED BUT IT FELT RIGHT! 

This chapter has a lot of dialogue and it's a very important chapter for closure. It's time to say goodbye to the past, and move forward, and that's exactly what we're going to do.

Here's to new beginnings.

*Colby's POV*

Making dinner together was surprisingly easy. I think something that surprised me the most is how focused we both got.

I was in charge of the directions, and she was in charge of assembly. I'd help here or there, but we learned pretty quickly that we just got in each other's way.

"I feel like you'd have butter fingers in the kitchen" Leighton told me after shutting the oven and setting a timer. I couldn't help but laugh at how random her thought process was, causing me to ask why as I took a seat at the kitchen counter. "I don't know, I just feel like you'd fuck things up easily in the kitchen" She shrugged, shooting me a cheeky grin.

"I mean, you're probably right" I chuckled, "I don't cook much"

"Oh, we've got to change that" She teased, "I love a man who can cook. Play housewife for me Colby" her eyes crinkled as she leaned against the countertop, biting her lower lip as she smiled, her cheeks getting a hue of pink to them.

"Kinky" I snickered.

When the timer rang, I pulled the sliders out of the oven due to Leighton in the middle of dealing with a diaper blow out. "They look good Leigh" I called out, taking the oven mitts off.

I took a quick photo of the food, waiting to post it to my story until we tried it.

"This doesn't!" She called back and I laughed hearing her dig through the wipes container. "She's going to need a bath" Leigh sighed, sounding defeated. "Good thing she's your problem for a while" She grinned, shooting me a look, now holding a naked baby, walking towards the bathroom.

I helped Leighton bathe Gemma before we sat down to try our food.

"How am I supposed to eat this, and not drop her" Leighton asked, eyeing her plate.

"Set her down" I laughed and she glared at me, replying, "We both know she's getting clingy" which made me mentally sigh, knowing she was right.

Gemma has progressively begun getting more and more clingy to Leigh, and it's definitely added some unwanted nerves to babysitting her whilst Leighton is in treatment.

"Here, let me try it, then I'll take her, and you can try it" I suggested and she nodded, watching me pick up the baked Hawaiian roll.

"Well?" She asked as I took a bite which made me chuckle, covering my mouth with my hand.

I swallowed, coughing a little. "You've got to let me chew first" I let out a breathy laugh, and she giggled, apologizing. "It's not bad" 

Leigh handed me Gemma, taking a big bite of the slider which made me laugh, her cheeks puffing out as she chewed.

Once she swallowed, she agreed it was good, commenting that it was a two bite dinner.

"Well yeah, your bites" I teased and she laughed, setting the roll down.

"I got a baby to hold! I got to shove it down" She joked, and I laughed loudly, "That's what she said" I snickered and Leighton grinned as she shook her head.
