I was nervous for Cason as we pulled into the doctor's office. Today we get to see if his knee is all healed. I'm hoping everything is okay and we can get out of this brace. I've signed him up to play basketball with some kids his age and he's so excited to play. It will crush him if he can't play.

Ashton carried Cason as we walked inside and got him checked in. Thankfully, we were taken back right away,

"The doctor will be right with you" the nurse spoke, making us nod,

"I'm hungwy" Cason whined not even five minutes later,

"I know buddy. When we leave we will go get lunch and then get you some basketball shoes. How about that?" Ashton smiled.  Cason nodded and reached for me from the bed. I got up and sat up on the bed with him, letting his body lean into mine.

Soon the door opened and the doctor walked in. It wasn't his normal doctor since he's out on vacation,

"Hey there buddy! Can we take a look at that knee?" He asked Cason. Cason nodded and I got up and stood next to the bed as the doctor took his leg,

"Daddy hand?" Cason whined, looking to Ashton. Ashton grinned and moved next to me, holding the hand I wasn't holding.

The doctor took off the brace and started bending and moving his knee in all directions,

"Did that hurt buddy?" He asked Cason. Cason shook his head, making us all smile,

"Good" the doctor nodded and looked at Ashton and me, "He's clear to do whatever. It may be sore when he starts running around at first, but simple Ibuprofen will work"

"Hear that Cas Cas? You can play basketball now" Ashton cheered,

"And score wots of points" Cason giggled.

The doctor gave me some paperwork and I signed a few things, then we were free to go. Cason all but ran across the parking lot to the car. He was so excited to have his knee free from that brace,

"What do you want for lunch Cas?" Ashton asked him as he opened my door and let me get in first, then opened Cason's door and helped him into his carseat,

"Chick-Fil-A!" he yelled, causing Ashton to look at me,

"He's definitely your child" he laughed then closed the back door, walking around and hopping in the driver's seat.

Ashton turned on the radio and backed out of the parking spot. Once we were on the road, Ashton's hand found its place on my thigh- my hand going to rest on top of his. Little things like that make me feel so loved. It's the simple touches such as the hand on my thigh or his hand resting on my back. I just love it.

I didn't realize I was staring at him until he turned and smirked,

"It's okay baby. You can stare at more of me tonight"

My mouth dropped and I playfully hit his arm,

"Cason's in the car" I laughed,

"He's asleep" Ashton shrugged, making me look back at my son who was most definitely asleep already,

"It's amazing how fast he falls asleep"

While Ashton took Cason to Grace's, I stayed back at his house. Originally we were going to go out on a date, but then we decided against it. Instead, we're doing a staying-in date. We're going to make dinner together then probably just watch a movie. It's simple, but it's also what we like. We also were moving some stuff from my house to his today so we were just ready to relax some.

Ashton got back just as I was finishing up some show I was watching. He grinned and walked over, draping himself over the back of the couch and kissing my cheek,

"Want to take a shower?" he asked, "Then we can make dinner"

I nodded and held my arms up, making him laugh and walk around the couch. He picked me up and tossed me over his shoulder and headed for his room,

"You know, this is a nice view" I joked and smacked his ass,

"Watch it" he playfully warned and smacked my butt.

We made it to the bathroom and Ashton started the shower. We both got undressed and stepped in, letting the warm water hit us.

We took turns under the water, washing both hair and body, before turning the water off. Ashton got out first and wrapped a towel around his waist, then held one out for me. I stepped out and he wrapped it around my body,

"I'll grab us some clothes" he told me, pecking my lips and disappearing into his room. He came back about a minute later with gray sweats and no shirt on and holding other clothes in his hands. He took the towel from me and slid my underwear up my legs and the put his shirt over my head,

"Do you want shorts too?" he asked, tossing the towels in the hamper,

"No I'm okay" I smiled, hugging his waist,

"Ready to make dinner?" He asked next, making me nod.

We headed out to the kitchen and Ashton put music on. We got everything out to make dinner. We had decided to do chicken tacos to keep it easy but decided to make our own guacamole and pico de gallo as well.

We were just having a good time together. We were messing around, occasionally dancing with each other. It felt like we'd been together forever in that moment. I've known for a while that I wanted it to be forever with Ashton. I want Ashton to be Cason's dad. Everyday I wish Cason was Ashton's blood. I'm excited to maybe marry him one day and expand the family we've formed.

I'm the happiest I've been in a long time, and I just keep feeling happier and luckier, especially when I'm with Ashton.

And I hope it continues to be this way because at this point, I see nobody but him.
