In These Coming Years

Chapter 15

*Brendon's POV*

I looked over to my side & saw Alice sitting on the edge of the bed, naked from last night. Her hair was messy.

I slowly crawled behind her & kissed down her back. She jumped a little & turned around & smile. " I see you're awake," she said.

" Yeah. You're up pretty early," I said & sat next to her, pulling the covers to cover my exposed area.

" I don't know, I woke up early & I can't fall back asleep. So far, I've been thinking."

" About what?"

" How would life be if we didn't have Vegas Isabella."

" Why would you even think about that?! Everything is amazing with her. She's one of the best things that has ever happend to me."

" Yeah I know I know. I love our daughter. I'm just saying, how would life be?"

" I can't imagine my life without our daughter. Don't think about stuff like that, babe."

" I'm just- I'm sorry. I don't know. Sometimes, I- I keep thinking about how life would be without her."

" What-"

" Like would you be feeling insecure about who you're giving more attention to? You said we're married & you don't think we should stop going on dates."

" I've always had that on my mind. That has nothing to do with not wanting Vegas around."

" Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm- I'm gonna get dressed," she said getting up. She grabbed her clothing from last night. ( t-shirt & boxers) "Want me to make breakfast?"

" I got it. I feel like I frustrated you," I sighed.

" No you didn't. Don't worry babe."

" I'm still making breakfast," I slipped on my boxers & gave her a morning kiss. I walked into the kitchen & began to make breakfast for my love.

I saw Vegas asleep with Knox. They were on the floor, toys scattered around them. How long were they up?

I picked her up. I saw Alice & Breezy talking.

" Thanks for always having Vegas around. She loves you & Knox very much," Alice chuckled.

" I don't mind having her. She's such a sweetheart & Knox loves her very much," Breezy said.

" How long did she stay up last night?" I asked Breezy.

" Pretty late for her. I tried getting them to go to bed but Dallon said to just let them have fun because it's a sleepover," she replied.

" I don't want her staying up late that much. Don't wanna ruin her sleeping schedule already!" I chuckled.

" Yeah, blame Mr. Tall & handsome," she said showing me that Dallon was still asleep.

" Yeah, I'll yell at him when we head over to the studio."

" Okay, we have Vegas now. Thanks again, Bree! C'mon babe," Alice said.

*Alice's POV*

I headed over to the studio & met with my band. Turns out, Erin wrote a song. He wanted to show all of us. Brendon said that it was okay for me to go by myself since the whole band was there.

I found all the guys on the couch.

" So-" I sat down next to them. " -where's the song?" I asked.
