〽️
Walking into the house, Drea exhaled.
She was finally home after another three weeks at the facility. She felt better but was nervous.
Marco was sitting in the kitchen, feeding Maddison her lunch not even aware of Drea's presence. When she walked into the kitchen, he had to double take because he was almost certain that his mind was playing tricks on him.
Placing Maddison's food down, Marco got up and rushed over to her pulling her into his arms. Drea laughed as he lifted her into the air and twirled around. "Please tell me I'm not dreaming."
"You're not dreaming." She said as he placed her back on her feet.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were coming home today, we would've picked you up."
"I wanted to surprise you guys. I see it worked."
"Man, I'm so happy." He held her face. The urge to kiss her was so strong but he didn't want to overstep. Drea felt the same but she didn't want to rush anything between them.
Walking over to Maddison, she kissed her forehead. "Hi beautiful. Hi mamas baby."
Maddison let out her precious laugh as she looked up at her mother.
"You hungry? I ordered some pizza." Marco asked.
"I'm starving." Drea took off her jacket and placed it on the back of her chair then sat down.
Marco went and grabbed her some food then grabbed her phone out of the drawer. "Here you go."
"Can't believe I went almost five months without a phone and didn't lose my mind." She laughed. "Is it crazy that I don't even want to start back using it?" Drea hit the unlock button. A picture of Maddison, two days after she was born displayed on the screen.
"Naw, it's not. It's going to take a minute before you bounce back to normal life."
"Yeah. I gotta make some appointments and get back to looking like myself. I've been in jogging pants and t-shirts for too long."
"I like this weight on you, don't lose it."
"Can we talk about your bald head though?"
Marco smiled. "You fuck with it?" He asked while rubbing his hands over it.
Drea ran her fingers over the tattoos on the back of his head. "You can pull off anything."
They stared at each other with smiles on their faces.
Getting up from her seat, Drea took a bite of her food. "I'm going to go take a shower, I'll be back." She made sure to grip the back of his neck before walking away.
Marco looked at Maddison. "How does daddy's princess feel about a little brother?"
Maddison immediately started crying.
"Alright, chill. I was just playing." Marco said while taking her out her seat. "You gone have to share us one day little girl so get over it."
