I'm putting the dishes in the cabinet when I hear the doorbell ring.
"Sweetie, can you grab that?" I yell to the living room.
I hear a grunt followed by footsteps. within seconds our house is filled with noise. I put the final dish away and great the loud company in the breeze way.
"Hey Lexi!" I smile, trying to hug her.
"Do you mind?" She asks, handing over the carrier to her husband, David. Without a word he grabs the carrier and she's in my arms.
"It's been too long!" I say, happy to just be able to see her.
"Yeah I've been busy." She smiles, pointing at the small children in her husbands arms.
I walk over to David and see little Bella hiding her face.
"Well hello princess. Are you ready to party?" I smile at her, waiting for her to recognize me."It's aunt Y/N!"
She stares at me blankly for a few seconds and a smile grows on her face. Her arms reach out to me and I hug her tight.
"You're so big!"
She giggles and rests her head on my shoulder. While still holding Bella I lean over and look at the sleeping baby.
"I can't believe he's so bug!" I say, trying to stay quiet.
"He's the biggest 2 month old I've ever seen." Lexi laughs. "He's huge and I don't know why! Bella is 1 and almost the same size, it's ridiculous."
She's not wrong. He is a big baby. He's chunky, long and adorable.
I look at Ricky and I can tell he's feeling uncomfortable.
"Well, I'm going to let you two crazy kids start your date night!" I grab the carrier out of David's hand and Ricky grabs the diaper bag.
"If you need anything please call and we'll come right back." I can tell Lexi is about to panic a little. She's going into mum mode.
"Okay okay. Get out of here before you give me a minute by minute schedule."
she won't stop talking so I have to physically push her out of the house and slam the door in her face.
Ricky grabs all the kid stuff and we move to the living room. I put Bella down and she crawls over to her toys that are in Ricky's hands.
He sits down on the floor and takes out her tea set. Bella grabs a cup and starts chewing on it.
I put the carrier down and baby Aaron is awake and smiling. I pick him up and sit on the couch.
"They're so little." Ricky says, sitting next to me.
"You should have seen them when they were born! The tiniest fingers and the tiniest toes. Especially Bella, she only weighed 5 pounds when she was born, now she's standing by herself!"
I'm rocking Aaron lightly when I notice Ricky just starring.7
"What?" I laugh a little. I've never seen him like this before.
"I've just never really been around babies so they make me nervous." He says quietly, as if he's afraid they will hear him.
"Ricky, it's no big deal, I promise. Here, hold him." Without any warning I put Aaron in his arms. "All you have to do is support his head and he's pretty content."
Ricky is tense at first but the longer he's holding him, the more relaxed he becomes.
"now I have to change Bella's diaper. Will you be okay without me?" I ask, not really caring what the answer is.
He nods and I grab her diaper bag and go upstairs. Bella is at the age where being naked is the best thing ever and struggles to escape the room while I put a new diaper on her. It takes about ten minutes to change and clean her up without her screaming non stop.
We go downstairs and she crawls right back to her toys. I turn the corner and see Ricky in the same spot I left him, but this time Aaron is slightly in the air and facing Ricky. Ricky has a huge smile on his face.
"You're not so bad, you know. You're a pretty chill baby. I could definitely do this." He says to Aaron. I remain out of sight for a little longer. Ricky is making noises and faces at Aaron.
"Well what do we have here?" I say trying to hide my smile.
"I made a new friend." He smiles at me.
"I see that! Not too scary anymore?" I sit next to him and rest my head on his shoulder.
"Not really. I think we could do this." He smiles, kissing my forehead.
"Do what?Babysit?I sure hope so. They're already here." I giggle.
"No silly, have a family." He says, still making faces at Aaron and now Bella too.
"Are you serious?" I'm a little shocked. Thirty minutes ago he was afraid to be within 100 feet of a baby and now he wants one?
"Well not now, but you know, some day. Maybe twoish years or so?" He holds Aaron back horizontally and rocks him slowly.
"That sounds great." I smile.
Ricky wraps his free arm around me and I kiss his cheek. I pick up Bella and rest my head on his shoulder.
I must admit, this does feel nice. Not now or tomorrow, but definitely one day.
