Real life

Chapter 36

Brooklyns POV

"Giving birth to a baby is no joke, but it is worth every minute of it just to see this cute little face for the rest of your life" I say laying down in my bed, Jax laying on my chest.

I sometimes like to talk to Jax about things. Like he is going to talk back.

"I miss your dad" I say as Jax is falling asleep. I do miss him so much it's been 4 days since he's been here and it feels like an eternity. Camry has been here for the last 2 days and she just left this afternoon and I don't know what I would do without her.

I love Jax but he is a handful. Especially at night. I lay him down in his Bassinet because it is now 12 and I want to try to get a little sleep.

I'm not asleep for more than 10 minutes before Jax starts to cry his lungs out for an hour straight. I tried everything, I fed him, burped him, changed him, moved him around, walked with him, nothing was working. I look over at my clock. It's 1:15 am. I can't stand the crying anymore so I pick up my phone and call Tanner.

Tanner pulls up at 2:45. I leave Jax in his Bed still crying as I go to open the door. Tanner is still in pj's. I feel so bad. "I'm sorry I don't know what to do, I've tried everything" I tell him. "It's fine" he says and walks into the house and into my bedroom.

He picks up Jax who is still screaming and cradles him in his arms and bounces him and Jax stops crying. I sigh in relief of silence. "You have got to be fucking kidding" I say. "I don't know what to tell you, I guess he just wanted his dad," Tanner says.

A few minutes later he falls asleep and Tanner puts him to bed. "You should get some sleep now" he says, pulling the sheets back on my bed and helping me in. "Thanks, You should too" I say. "Do you have an extra pillow that I can put on the couch?" Tanner asks.

"Tanner, sleep in here" I say. "Are you sure?" Tanner asks. "Why wouldn't I be" I say. Tanner takes off his shirt and starts to get into bed when my eyes are immediately drawn to his tattoo. "You added an 11" I say in aw. "Of course, the best day of life, how could I forget my own son's birthday.

He got into bed and Under the covers. "I'm sorry Tanner" I say and I can't help but start crying. "Hey, hey, what's wrong, why are you sorry?" he asked me.

"Everything, I'm sorry that I made you drive here in the middle of the night because I couldn't get him to stop crying, but now I'm the one who can't stop crying"

"Don't be sorry. That's what I'm here for, to help you and Jax whenever you need me no matter what time"

"And I'm sorry for what happened"

"What are you talking about Brooklyn?"

"I think you know. I'm sorry for giving up so easily and not trying to hear you out or working things through like I should have."

Tanner wipes a tear off my face with his thumb. "No, I'm the one who should be saying sorry. I was the one who gave up, I never tried hard enough. I will never forgive myself for treating the woman that I love the way I did"

"You love me?"

"I always have, always will, always do. I will never stop loving you and our son"

"I love you"

Tanner takes his hand and slides it into my hair and pulls my head into him. Taking me in for a kiss. A genuine love kiss. The best kiss I have ever had. The kiss that showed love, forgiveness, and promise.
