Friends With Benefits

31. New baby

Brenna's POV

After the honeymoon

Nash and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. It lasted a week. It was so beautiful and romantic. We've always talked about having more kids after Connor, and that kind of happened.

I'm so excited and so is Nash. I'm hoping for a girl this time and Nash, or course, wants another boy.

Since Connor is only two, it will still be hard, but Nash got his first gig in acting in this big movie, so money is no problem right now.

I finally got ahold of my dad after two years, apparently he met some girl named Rosealina and they were living in Mexico.

He told me that now that I have a family of my own, I don't need him anymore. Of course I was sad but it didn't hurt as much as it probably should've considering I haven't talked to him in two years.

Nash and I have been living in my dad's house for two years so we decided it was time to get our own place before the new baby comes.

We are planning on looking at a house that is closer to his dads. Connor doesn't get to see his grandpa Chad much because it's an hour drive.

(Ik that they live in NC but in this story they all live in LA)

Nash helped Connor into his booster seat and we drove to the house we were looking at.

It was beautiful. It had five bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a huge kitchen, a family and living room, a finished basement with a bar, and a pool and hot tub in the back.

"So, baby, what do ya think?" I asked Nash.

"I love it. It's everything I've ever wanted," he put his arm over my shoulder.

"Me too," I smiled and walked over to the realtor.

Nash and I look at each other and smiled, "we'll take it," we said in unison.

We signed some papers and are moving in in two weeks.

*Eight months later*

"Nashhh!" I yelled trying to wobble down the staircase holding my stomach.

I couldn't walk anymore so I just sat down on one of the stairs.

"Baby? You okay?" He ran to me from the living room.

"My water just broke, the baby's coming," I cried out.

He pulled me back to my feet and helped me down the rest of the stairs and out of the door to his range rover.

We pulled into the hospital parking lot after a painful 15 minute ride.

Nash helped me through the doors and a nurse ran up to me with a wheelchair.

Cameron and Sam both came to the hospital, even though it was an hour drive for Cam.

After about 11 hours I finally went into labor and delivered a beautiful baby girl.

We named her Ava Marie Grier. After my mom.

*two months later*

Sam ended up moving in with us and it kind of works out. Nash is gone most of the day for his job and I get to stay home with my beautiful babies and my best friend.

Sam came down an sat next to be on the couch, "hey babe," he patted my thigh.

"Shhh. I watching Orange is the New Black," I swatted his hand away.

"Where's Connor?" He whispered.

"In his playroom."

"Okay, imma go check up on him, be back," he got up and left.

Ava woke up from her nap and I fed her and changed her diaper.

Nash come home about 9, which was early for him.

"Hey baby, you're home early," I kissed his cheek as I set Ava down in her crib slowly.

"I know, I just wanted to see my beautiful girls," he hugged me and stared down at Ava.

"Daddy!" Connor yelled running down the stairs.

"Hey bud," Nash lifted Connor up and spun him around.

"Con, what're you doing up?" I sighed taking him from Nash.

"It's fine babe, he can stay up a little bit longer with me," Nash said.

"No he can't," I started walking toward the stairs, "let's get you to bed."

I laid him down in his race car bed and read him a short book to make him fall asleep.

When I returned downstairs, Nash was sitting on the couch watching tv.

"I'm going to bed," I sighed and walked back up the stairs.

"I love you," Nash called from the couch. 

"Love you."

I woke up around 4 to feed Ava. I laid her back down and went back to my bed.

I woke up again at 6 to Nash getting ready for work.

"Nash?"

"Hey, baby, I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up," he kissed my cheek.

"It's okay. Have fun at work," I closed my eyes again.

"It's the last day ya know?" He said.

"Really? That's awesome, now I finally get to spend time with my husband."

"I'm sorry, babe, it's not fair to you guys that I'm always gone."

"It's okay, baby. Sam helps me out a lot and so does your dad."

"I know but you guys are my family and I should be spending more time with you guys."

"It's okay, Nash, have a good last day, I love you."

"Love you too, baby, forever and always."

I got out of bed and took a quick shower. I went to wake Connor up but he wasn't in his room.

I checked down stairs and I still couldn't find him. I went to go tell Sam, and there he was, all cuddled up to Sam's chest with his thumb in his moutuuhhh.

"Con, wake up baby," I shook his arm.

"Mommy, can you make pancakes?" He asked as his eyes fluttered open.

"Sure thing," I picked him up and carried him down stairs. I turned on Umi Zommie, which is his favorite show and began to make the pancakes.

I made a face on the pancake out of bananas and blueberries.

"Mommy," Connor giggled, "it has a face."

I smiled at him and laughed. I heard Ava crying from upstairs so I made her a bottle and rocked her back to sleep.

✖️✖️✖️

Nash got home around 10, Connor fell asleep with his head on my lap and I was feeding Ava.

"Hey baby," he kissed my forehead.

"Hey. Could you carry Con up to his room please?" I asked.

"Of course," he picked up Connor and then returned downstairs a few minutes later.

I laid Ava down in her pack n play and Sam came down.

"Hey guys, I have good news."

"Yeah? What is it?"

"I'm moving in with my girlfriend, Sarah," he smiled rocking on his heels.

"Congratulations Sammy," I got up from the couch and hugged him.

"I should be out of here in two days but I also have some bad news."

"Yeah?"

"She lives in Florida, so I won't be seeing you guys much anymore," he put his head down.

I sighed and hugged him again, "it's okay Sam. We can FaceTime and visit each other."

He smiled and went back upstairs.
