The next morning I woke up to the squeal of a door down the hall. I simply ignored it and wrapped my arms tighter around Lauren, her head still resting on my chest.

Then there was a small giggle. I opened my eyes and saw Emmie sitting on the end of the bed, taking a picture with her phone. I didn't think much of it at first until I thought about where she might put the picture. That's when I quickly sat up and Emmie took off running.

"Emmie get back here!" I yelled and started to chase after her, hearing Lauren laugh in the background.

When I entered the kitchen, Emmie was by the sink doing who knows what with the photo. "Emerson don't you dare put that picture anywhere!" I said and earned an evil grin. When she wasn't looking, I jumped at her and she squealed before sprinting around the center island just as Lauren walked sleepily out.

"Lauren, get her!" I said as she yawned.

"What?" She asked after Emmie had passed her.

I quickly turned around the corner of the wall and grabbed onto Emmie, snatching her phone.

"Hey!" She said and tried to grab it back before I slipped it in my pocket.

"Hi!" I joked back. "I guess you won't be needing your phone for a while!" She just narrowed her eyes and went back upstairs to her room.

I went back to the kitchen where Lauren was leaning against the counter on her phone. "Did she do anything with the picture?" Lauren asked.

"No, she didn't get the chance to," I replied and stood next to her.

"Steve......does what happened last night make there an 'us'?" She asked and looked up from her phone. I leaned forward and lightly kissed her on the lips, grabbing her hand in the process.

"Does that answer your question?" I asked with a smirk.

She quickly kissed me one more time. "I guess there's an us." Her head was leaning on my shoulder as I wrapped my arms around her, rubbing small circles on her back.

"I can't believe that I was so blind and didn't realize how much I love you. I need you Lauren Cohan."

*Lauren's POV*

"I need you Lauren Cohan."

Why does he keep saying things that make me blush and make me want to melt? Although I do love it.

"I need you too, I've always needed you," I replied and he brushed a loose piece of hair behind my ear. He took my hand and led me to the couch where I cuddled into his side and just enjoyed the moment. His lips pressed onto the top of my hand as I played with the hem of his shirt.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" He asked.

"What's tomorrow?"

"The first day of filming!" He replied excitedly.

Sometimes he really did act like a little kid and it made me laugh. "Oh yeah, it'll be nice to see everyone again. Is Emmie coming?"

"Yep. I don't have anyone to watch her so I'll have to bring her. I bet she's just gonna love waking up at four thirty in the morning," He said sarcastically.

I let out a small laugh. "Well I've gotta go home tonight so you have fun with that."

"Don't go!" He put on a fake pouring face and pulled on my arm.

"I've gotta be home later because my old friend is visiting and I haven't seen her in forever. You'll see me again tomorrow," I answered and kissed the top of his hand.

"You can't leave me with that little monster!" He joked and I playfully punched his shoulder.

"You know that's your daughter," I chuckled, making him smirk at the ground.

"She's probably up there right now, plotting her revenge because I took her phone away." He took out her phone from his pocket and unlocked it.

The picture quickly pulled up on the screen and I rested my chin on his shoulder so I could see. I saw a smile spread across Steven's face, making me smile as well. "I actually do like this picture, but I don't think we should let the public know just yet," he said and I nodded in agreement.

He turned off her phone and put it back in his pocket before turning back to kiss my cheek.
