Right after dinner the three of us settled on the couch for a movie Scarlett had chosen. Of course it was Rose's favorite.
The little girl is curled up into my side, while Scarlett leans into my other side as well. The movie is pretty fun to watch and so we share some good laughter throughout.
Around 8pm I pick up Rose, who had fallen asleep in my embrace, and tuck her into bed. Scarlett and I both leave the little girl sleeping, with a soft kiss on Rose's forehead before we head to our own bedroom to go to bed too.
"She really loves you, Y/n/n." Scarlett whispers and smiles warmly at me, at which I just smile even happier than I do already.
"I'm glad she does," I pause as I climb into bed next to her, "because I love Rose so much."
"That, I can see." Scarlett plants a gentle kiss on my lips and begins to caress my cheek. "I love what we've become." She adds with a sigh and I can tell there's something more on her mind. Over the months spent with her, Scarlett's body language has become an open book to me.
"I love it too sweetheart, but to me it seems like there's more on your mind." I slowly approach the conversation we had delayed until now. Scarlett withdraws her hand from my cheek as she leans back against the headboard of our bed. I do the same and keep my gaze on her, watching her with care and somewhat of curiosity.
"You're right. I just don't want to bother you with what's supposed to be a point of my past and I-" My finger immediately lands on her lips to interrupt where this is going. I shake my head slightly and hush Scarlett.
"Don't even go there Scarlett. When I said that I chose you for everything that you are and that I want to help you carry all your weight from past days, I meant it. I chose you, I'll choose you and I'll always have chosen you, til my last breath. Nothing can change that."
As I assure Scarlett of that, she gets a little teary-eyed and I cup her face gently, "you could never bother me, okay?"
"Okay." Scarlett says quietly and she nods her head a little, leaning into my hands some more. "Okay." She repeats, firmer, before her eyes meet mine. She takes a deep breath.
"Could Cosmo spend the weekend with me or us even?" Scarlett asks, seeming rather shy and uncertain about it still, so I nod eagerly and smile.
"Yes, yes of course! He's always welcome. Of course he is." I chuckle a little and Scarlett begins to smile again, seeming relieved. "We can make this weekend a great weekend for all of us."
"You're really okay with this? Like, it's pretty sudden and all." Scarlett wants to make sure that I'm okay and I give her a quick, reassuring kiss on the lips as I hum in confirmation.
"Absolutely. I'm excited to meet Cosmo. Oh, Rose and you must be missing him a lot, aren't you?" My smile fades slowly as I take note of Scarlett's, again, teary eyes. I'm quick to wipe some of the tears that run down her cheeks and pull her into my embrace.
"It's been so long." She whispers into my chest, burying her face into it. "Sometimes it seemed like he didn't want to see me at all." Scarlett pauses and sobs, "he's always been very fond of his father." She lets out a tiny giggle. "Since his day of birth, I could swear."
"I see. Most boys are daddy's boys." I say with some assurance and smile softly.
Scarlett huffs, "I can tell." She pulls her head back slightly from my chest and looks up at me as I rub her back still. "But I'm his mother, you know? I should be seeing him more often. Cosmo should want to see me more." Her tone of voice comes off pretty desperate and I nod along in understanding. I do understand her, truly.
"Yes, you're his mother and there should also be quality time to spend for the both of you together." I agree, while I take Scarlett's hands into mine. "This is not a condition. We should talk to your ex."
"Trust me, I tried." She sighs and looks down at our hands, "he said we couldn't force Cosmo to see me if he doesn't want to."
"I doubt that Cosmo doesn't want to see you to such an extent, that he would have protested against it." I share my doubts truthfully, while I honestly think that there's more behind why Cosmo doesn't want to see his mother. Though, I wouldn't dare accusing her ex of anything just yet.
"You think Cosmo always wanted to see me?" Scarlett asks, hope laced not only in her voice, but also sparkling in her eyes. I sigh.
"You're his mother after all. Maybe your ex was fearing to lose this part of you too. His son, your kid." I shrug my shoulders slightly as I take note of Scarlett's furrowed brows.
"What I'm saying is, that it's only normal for a parent to fear losing their kid when they break up with their partner." I add quickly, but Scarlett continues to frown. Maybe that was too much of an accusation already.
"You know what?" She lets out a breath, I didn't take note of she was holding and I bite my tongue in fear, only able to shake my head for an answer. "You're right. I never thought of that. Now it would all make sense and I can't even blame my ex for his fear."
Her response of agreement honestly wasn't at all what I was expecting, but I let out a sigh of relief and hum. Yet, I can't say another thing, in case Scarlett would confront her ex with this new insights. I gain some courage and finally say, "I suggest you guys should talk."
"That's what I thought." Scarlett agrees and she giggles softly. "I really don't know what I would be doing without you Y/n/n." She whispers as she leans in closer and kisses my lips with love and gratitude.
And I, well I can't help to wonder if my supposition about her ex's reasons to keep Cosmo rather to himself, really were placed right here. I'm left to hope that their conversation won't go wrong and they'll figure out a co-parenting plan to my luck.
It's not like my life has been filled with hope and luck so far, but maybe this time I've done something right to deserve some bits of it.
About one more hour of random conversations and exchanges of kisses and cuddles, Scarlett and I decide to call it a day too. It really has been a long day, but fortunately everything seems to have been sorted out now. Hopefully to my luck.
