-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a few days since you babysit Sarah and you started to grow fond of her. You tried your best learning about babies and what was good for them.
"I read that it's good for babies to get early morning walks." You told Joel as you put Sarah to her crib.
"Yeah?" Joel raised his eyebrows.
"Uh-huh. They said it's a good source of Vitamin D." You stroked the baby's head adoring her.
"Okay..I'll take her for a walk tomorrow then."
"Can I come? If it's okay with you. Of course."
"Sure. No problem."
You woke up earlier that day and got ready. You knocked on your neighbor's door.
"Mornin'." Joel opened the door with Sarah in his arms.
"Morning." You waved your hand.
"Come in." Joel invited you inside his house.
"Hi sweetie, ready for a walk?" You caressed baby Sarah's cheek who was still in Joel's arms.
"I need to get the baby stroller ready. Can you hold her for a while?" Joel asked you for help.
"Sure." You opened your arms and took Sarah.
Joel went to get the baby stroller and got it ready. He placed it beside you and you put Sarah in the stroller.
"Okay. All done."
"Let's go." You took the stroller and pushed it.
"After you." Joel opened the door for you.
The weather was nice. It was sunny but not too hot. It was the perfect weather to have a morning walk. You were happy you brought up the idea to Joel.
"I'll do it." Joel slowly moved your hands from the stroller so he could push it.
The three of you walked around the neighborhood looking like a real newlywed with a newborn baby. You liked the idea of thinking of having a family but deep down in your heart you weren't ready to start a new relationship. Joel probably wasn't ready too.
"Thank you by the way." Joel suddenly thanked you.
"For what?" You tilted your head and faced him.
"For this. For carin' about Sarah's health. I didn't even know babies need vitamin Ds from sun and everythin'." He scoffed. He looked like he was guilty of being a bad father.
"Oh! Well, you're welcome. I'm trying my best to be a good babysitter." You joked.
"I'm sure you'll be a good mom." He smiled at you.
"Thank-" You couldn't finish what you wanted to say as you saw someone familiar across you.
"(y/n)?" A familiar man called your name.
