Eternally-Sequel to Unconditional(Nate Maloley)

Chapter 3

The next morning, I woke up to Nate groan beside me. "What's your deal?" I laughed. "We gotta go get Aiden from moms" he groaned. "I'll go get him. You stay here" I smiled. "Thank you baby" he smiled, kissing my cheek. I went downstairs, grabbing Nates hoodies and keys, leaving. The ride was about 20 minutes so I was there in no time. I walked up to the house, knocking three times. "Oh! Ana! I wasn't expecting you this early" she chuckled, "Please, come in" she smiled. "Aiden is in the guest room" she smiled. "Still asleep?" I giggled. "Yes and no. He's had a rough night of sleeping" she said. "Oh what's wrong?" I asked. "His allergies are acting up really badly" she said. "Oh. Okay" I smiled walking up to the guest room, spotting u sleeping boy. He looked just like Nate when he sleeps. I scoop him up after gathering his things into his bag and placing it over my shoulder. "I'll see you soon honey" she said to me. "Of course!" I smiled kissing her cheek. I carried Aiden out to the car, placing him in the back seat, buckling him in. His head fell to the side. I laughed at him, definitely a mini me of Nate.

I pulled into the driveway, "Mama?" He yawned. "Hi baby were home okay? Grab your bag when you get out" I said. He nodded and unbuckled his seat belt, hopping out. "Mama I don't feel good" he sighed. "It's just allergies baby. I'll get you some medicine okay?" I smiled. He nodded as we walked in. "Go lay by daddy" I said. He dropped his bag by the door, kicking off his shoes and going over by Nate. "What's up with you?" Nate smiled. "His allergies. Didn't get much sleep" I said. "Ahh. Well grab that blanket and we can lay together, deal?" He said. Aiden nodded, carrying a blanket over. I walked I've to Nate and sat on his other side, cuddling into his chest. "What do you think your doing?" He laughed. "Laying with my boys" I smiled.
An hour later, someone knocked on the door "come in!" Nate said. In came Sam, Avery and Annica. "Hey babygirl!" I smiled as she ran to us. "How was she?" I asked picking her up. "Well other than falling, she was great. I think she enjoyed it" he smiled. I set her on Nates lap and hugged him and Avery. "Thanks so much for that Sammy" I smiled kissing his cheek. "Of course. We'll do this more often, right princess?" She smiled peeking around the corner to a giggling Annica "Yes uncle Sammy!" She said. "Well we gotta get going but yeah. See you guys soon" he smiled leaving with Avery. "So missy, what'd you guys do?" I asked, shutting the door and walking back to the couch. I sat across from Nate and the kids. "Come over here mommy!" She whined. I shook my head, standing up. "Okay now tell us" I giggled, setting her on my lap. "I fell and got a big boo boo daddy" she said. "I heard about that. You okay angel?" He said brushing her hair back. She nodded. "Good. What else did you do besides get hurt?" He laughed. "Played dolls and dress up and watched cartoons OH!! And he got me ice cream too" she said. "Sounds like you had a good time" I smiled. She nodded. "Food time?" I asked. "Pweassseeee!" She giggled, sliding off the couch. Aiden woke up a few hours later and groaned. "Well I know where he gets the groaning from" I laughed. Nate glared at me. I laughed. "What's wrong buddy?" Nate said rubbing Aidens back. He pointed to his throat. "It feels swollen" Nate said looking at me. "Aiden come over by me please" I said. He dragged his feet to me. I felt around his throat. "Definitely swollen. I'll call the doctor" I said. "Drink some of my juice for now" I said handing him my cup.

"Hey you, wake up" I said shaking Nate. "What's up?" He yawned. "Taking Aiden to the doctor quick. You staying here with sleeping beauty?" I laughed at a sleeping Annica. He nodded. "Okay we'll be back" I said walking to the car with Aiden. I drove the five minutes to the doctors office with the radio playing. "Mommy will I need surgery?" He asked. "Hopefully not baby. I'm hoping they can give you some medicine to help kill the swelling" I said, pulling into the parking lot.
"So his tonsils are a little swollen but not enough where we have to do the removal surgery. I can prescribe the anti inflammatory to take down the swelling" the doctor said. "Would you like that?" She asked. I nodded. "Great I'll go call it in so you can pick it up on your way home." She smiled. Once she came back, she told us that the meds would be ready for pickup by the time we left. We thanked her and walked back to the car. "Ana? Is that you?" I heard on the way out. I turned around, still holding Aidens hand. "Danny?" I stuttered. "Why do I keep running into you? Are you following me?" I said backing up with Aiden. "Mama who is he?" He asked me, scared. "Nobody honey. Let's go" I said walking faster. "Is that him Ana?" He asked. "What the hell do you think? I don't just walk around with a random kid. Now leave me and my family ALONE!" I screamed. "Let's go baby" I smiled at Aiden, letting him in the car. "Mama who was that? He scared me" Aiden said buckling his seat belt as I did as well. "He was mommys old boyfriend at my old house before I met daddy." I stated. "You didn't love him anymore?" He asked. My heart broke. "Well it's not that. I needed to get away from my mom and dad and that meant I had to break up with him to. Then I met daddy and that's how you and Annica came to be" I smiled as I drove to the store to get his prescription.

"We're home!" I yelled. No answer. "I think they're sleeping mama" Aiden said. "Hi mama!" Annica smiled at the bottom of the stairs. "Well there's one." I giggled. "Hey baby girl. Where's daddy?" I asked, picking her up. She pointed to the stairs. "Let's go then" I smirked. We walked up the steps and she pointed to my room. I nodded and opened the door to see Nate lying in bed in just a pair of basketball shorts, knocked out. I smiled, "Maybe we should let daddy sleep. He's got work in the morning" I suggested. "Daddddddyyyyyy" Annica said. "Annica no" I giggled, placing my hand over her mouth. Nate rolled onto his side still sound asleep, groaning as he rolled. "Mmmmmmmm" he whined. "Aiden take Annica to her room and play with her for a bit,okay?" I smiled. He nodded. "So? How'd it go?" He asked, pulling me into his chest. "It went good. He's got anti inflammatory pills to eliminate swelling. But it took a turn when we were leaving." I groaned. "Why?" He asked. "Danny again. He called my name as we walked out and was like "is that him?" And I started swearing and he scared Aiden so I left" I said. "Dude is following you I swear" he said. "All that matters is we're both home" I smiled, kissing his cheek. "Mhmmm" he mumbled, rolling over so he wasn't facing me anymore.

"Children! Quit screaming!" I yelled. "She hit me!" Aiden whined. "She's two, Aiden Montgomery!" I said. "But mom!" He argued. "Enough!" Nate said to Aiden. "You, stop talking back to mom. Annica, no hitting" Nate said. "Sowwwwyyyyy daddy" Annica said, hugging his leg and puckering her bottom lip out. He chuckled at her, "You goofball" he smirked at her. "Mommy can we get slushies?" Aiden asked. "I'll think about it" I said sitting on the counter. "Daddy can we?" Aiden asked. "Mom said she'd think about it. Enough already" Nate said. "Fine" he huffed and went into the living room. Nate lifted Annica up over his head, pulling her down to kiss her forehead. "Daddy no!" She giggled. "Why baby? Why should I?" He smirked, doing it again. "Mama make him stahhppp!" she smiled reaching out for me. "No can do sweetie." I smirked. "Mommyyyyyy!" She whined. "God have I ever told you guys that I will love you eternally?" Nate mumbled.
