I found the bathroom. Brantley came in holding Braylin and had a shirt and briefs for me to wear. "If Braylin wakes up fussing make her a bottle with 3 ounces of formula and warm water. Shake it good then lay her on her back give it to her. Whe-" "I know how to feed a small baby I have a god son and god daughter." he says with a chuckle. That's reassuring. With that I go take a shower.

I felt so good after my shower. I haven't been able to take a long shower in 3 years. After I got dressed I got out of the bathroom. Brantley was holding Braylin while she slept. He had this look of love in his eyes. I can see me marrying him in 5 years. Braylin kinda looks like Brantley. I go over and take a picture with Brantleys phone. He looks up at me and smiles. I'm still trying to wrap my finger around the thought that 3 hours ago me and Braylin were walking around with me starving and her asleep in my arms. God does have some great prizes for people in need. I have prayed for a miracle of someone coming along and helping me with Braylin either financially or mentally. Being a single mother on the run from an abusive ex is not fun nor easy. I was scared to leave and that he'll try and find me then kill me. But now I have Brantley to help me with Braylin. That gives me a thought.
"Hey Brantley I have a question" I ask really eager to know.
"What is it darlin" he says quietly trying not to wake my baby.
"How am I going to be able to support Braylin if I don't have a job or a college degree." I asked
"I make enough money to support you, Braylin, and 7 other children. I want to help you with Braylin physicality, mentally and even financially. Please let me help you. This might sound sexist but I don't mean it that way. I will make the money and protect you two and all you have to do is cook clean and watch Braylin. I love this baby and I think I'm going to love her mom a little bit more." He says he's now standing up inches from me. After he said that I got this warm burning sensation in my stomach I never had before. How can anyone love someone as broken and beaten as me.
"How can you ever love me. I understand why you already love Braylin but why me. To an outsider it would look like I'm going after you for fame or money and I don't wanna be a gold digger bitch." I say starting to cry. I don't want to be like that it looks bad on my end. I am not like that at all.
"Baby I know you have been through hell and back but I love you for the fact that you never gave up and is as strong as fuck. Your strength is as hot as hell and think if you and that mother fucker made the cutest little girl I ever saw just imagine the baby's we'll make." He says walking past me and went into what I'm guessing is the master bedroom.

Brantley comes out in sweatpants and no shirt. And no Braylin in his arms. "Where's my daughter" I asked scared "she's blocked in by pillow on the bed and around the floor so she has some space to move with out being in danger of hitting her head." he said and goes to the fridge and comes back with two Mountain Dews in his hand. "Where are you and me going to sleep." "on the couch, it pulls out to a bed." Brantley says simply. "where am I going to sleep." "with me sweetheart of course." B flashes his famous smirk. I yawn as loud as a lion. It's been another long ass day I either need a beer or some sleep. Choosing sleep I lay down next to Brantley and fall into a black dark sleep.
~Brantleys P.O.V~
Oaklee falls asleep and I'm just laying there watching this angel that was brought into my life drift off into a peaceful sleep. I can't sleep because I'm so happy that God gave me two beautiful girls in my life that I will love and protect with my whole life.
