{that night}
Leah was in her bed asleep
Jay and Erin were cuddled up on the couch
Jay=you know we have to talk about it
Erin=about what
Jay=you know what
Erin rolled her eyes
Jay=listen I'm sure you don't want to talk about him or even mention his name but if he was looking for you that means he probably wants to see Leah
Erin=well he's not
Jay=erin he's her dad
Erin=no you're her dad
Jay=sure I am but he is her bio dad, she can have two dads
Erin=but Jay he just walked out on me at one of the most vulnerable times in my life he left me to take care of a baby that he helped make. He shouldn't just be able to walk back in
Jay=I understand what you're saying babe
Erin=no you don't
Jay=yes I do but at the end of the dad Leah is the number one priority and if her dad wants to be in her life you don't have the right to keep her from him
Erin=I have every right to keep her from him!
Jay=babe think about Leah do you really want her to grow up and have to question why her dad wasn't there for her? Why she wasn't enough for him?
Erin=Jay I know you're trying to help but you don't know Jules he probably won't even stop by again
Jay=well if he does then you should think about Leah and what is best for her
Erin=I always think about what's best for Leah enough said I'm not being miss nice anymore so either shut the hell up about it or go stay with your brother!
Jay=ok you know what I'm going to the guest bedroom I'll see you in the morning when maybe you will start thinking logically again
He got up and started walking
Erin=I'm speaking logically right now
He ignored her and went into the guest room
Erin walked upstairs to their bedroom
She laid down ready to go to sleep but her mind was racing. She knew Jay was right to some degree and she couldn't just keep Leah away from Jules but she still felt a sense of hatred for Jules.
{the next morning}
Erin rolled out of bed and walked downstairs where she saw Jay making pancakes while Leah was watching cartoons in the living room
Erin=Jay we need to talk
Jay=what do you want to talk about
Erin=Jay I'm sorry for being harsh yesterday I know you were just trying to help
Jay=it's whatever Erin I don't care you can do whatever you want
Erin=I love you okay come here
She pulled him in for a kiss
Erin=I'm so glad it's our day off
Jay=yeah me to we need a break
Erin=speaking of break have you talked to your parents about the family vacation
Jay=yeah they'll do the same thing they do every year
Erin=okay well how long are we staying at the cabin
Jay=a week babe it's literally the exact same thing we all ways do
Erin=I need to get Leah a bag packed since we only have a couple weeks
Jay=I'm ready I can't wait for my moms cooking
Erin=I'm sure you'll devour most of the food just like every year
Jay=erin it's a tradition at this point
She chuckled
Erin=im going to get Leah and take her outside or something she doesn't need to be watching tv like that all the time
Jay=yeah good luck with that
Erin walked into the living room
Leah=mommy you're awake!
Erin=yeah I am
Leah=come watch doc McStuffing
Erin=actually I was thinking how about we go outside and play a little bit
Leah=no! I want to watch Doc McStuffing!
Erin=Leah don't yell at me we can watch it later but right now the weather is perfect so let's go play outside
Leah=NOOO!!!!
Erin stomped over to her and grabbed her arm
Erin=I told you to stop yelling at me we are going outside to play right now
Leah=I DONT WANT TO PLAY OUTSIDE
Jay heard all the commotion from the kitchen honestly he of course expected this temper tantrum. Thankfully the pancakes were ready just in time
Jay hurried to the living room
Jay=Girls I got pancakes!
He said breaking up the argument
Leah=yay!
She jumped up and ran over
Jay=now let's go to the kitchen and eat our breakfast
They made their way to the Kitchen
Jay helped Leah sit up in her chair
They sat down and enjoyed their breakfast
Erin then Leah to go outside to play she lucky didn't resist this time
Erin decided to add a nice photo for her InstagramLeah continued to play before she began to grow tired and cranky
Erin: are you ready for a nap
Leah yawned
Leah:no
Erin smiled
Erin:I think you are come on
Leah:no momma!
Erin:listen to me do not cause a scene now let's go
She got Leah inside and got her to sleep
She walked downstairs to find Jay had cleaned the kitchen
Jay:she sleep
Erin:out like a light
Jay:so do you got everything planned for the wedding
Erin: yeah I've got everything reserved
Jay:that's great babe
Erin: I can't wait
Jay:I know it feels like we've been waiting forever
Erin: and there's something I wanted to talk to you about
Jay:okay? What's that
Erin:I know we aren't even married yet so this conversation probably seems rushed but I was wondering what do you think about kids
Jay:what do you mean I love kids
Erin:you know what I mean
Jay sighed
Jay:I think whenever you want to give Leah a sibling I'm happy
Erin: we'll she's 4 and I kinda want her and her sibling to be close in age so maybe right after we get married?
Jay:that's fine with me I'm happy if you're happy
