Crushing Romance

She's here!

It's been over three months since Lawerence 'moved in'. I'm really starting to enjoy his company, when he isn't talking about assassinations, that is. I love us feeling like a family. I never really had that before. I hope to be able to give that to my little girl. I got to see her a couple days ago. She is growing so fast! I love seeing her little hands and feet on the screen! She's just perfect!

(Around 5:00pm on a hot summer's day, Lawerence and Paula are picking out clothes for their baby)

"How about this one?" Paula asks, holding up a pink jumper with a white frilly shirt.
"Uggh? Whatever. They all look the same to me anyways." Lawerence grumbles.
"Sigh. Do you ever have anything nice to say?"
"Not normally. Why?" Lawerence smirks.
"Never mind. I think I'll get it."
"Great. Now let's go." Lawerence replies, walking out of the baby store.
"Lawerence? Where you going? We have to pay for this."
"Sigh. Fine." Lawerence rolls his eyes.

(Later that night at their apartment)

"Good! The football game is on!" Lawerence grins.
"Wonderful." Paula replies sarcastically.
"Nothing make me happier than to see the other team slaughtered."
"Lawerence!"
"What?"
"You need to learn not to talk like that. We are going to have little ears around here pretty soon. Ok." Paula frowns.
"Whatever."
"Well sweetie. You enjoy the game. I'm gonna go to bed. Ok." Paula smiles while kissing Lawerence' head.
"Alright."

(Hours later at around 3:00am)

"Oh? Lawerence?" Paula says.
"Shhh...I'm trying to go to bed. The game ran late." Lawerence replies.
"Honey, I'm hurting really bad." Paula groans.
"It's contractions. You know that."
"Yeah, but these are much worse than before."
"What do you want me to do?" Lawrence grumbles.
"Lawrence! I'm hurting! I think it's happening!" Paula blurts.
"Ok! Come here." Lawrence replies before picking Paula up, taking her to the car.

(After hours of labor, Paula finally delivers their little baby girl.)

"Lawerence! Look! Isn't she beautiful!" Paula exclaims.
"She's definitely a fighter." Lawrence grins.
"I agree! She didn't know what she wanted to do!" Paula laughs.
"That could be a bad thing."
"Oh stop."
"Hello! And congratulations you two! So, what's her name gonna be?" Paula's nurse asks.
"Jade. Jade Iris Crock." Paula replies with a smile.
"When did we agree to that?" Lawrence snickers.
"I decide a long time ago. Get over it." Paula smirks.
"Whatever."
"What a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl. Jade Iris Crock it is." Paula's nurse grins.

(After a couple days, Paula finally gets to come home.)

"How do you like your new room, Jade?" Paula goos as she walks into the nursery.
"Paula, she can't talk yet." Lawrence says crossing his arms.
"I don't care. I'll pretend she can."
"Just wait. Before you know it she'll talk. Talk back." Lawrence smirks.
"Very funny. How could this little innocent baby ever talk back." Paula replies, smiling at Jade.
"Don't make me laugh, Paula. She looks like trouble. She looks exactly like you." Lawrence grins.
"Yeah, she does." Paula dazes at Jade.
