"Hello?" I yell through the house.
Nobody answers, so I lock the door behind me and walk upstairs to Tana who's laying in bed with a sleeping Gunnar in her arms and Ammon laying beside her with his eyes completely focused on the TV.
She looks over at me and smiles. "Hey"
"Hi" I return the smile.
"How was dinner?" She politely asks.
"It was nice. It was nice seeing All-" I gulp "Allen again" I continue.
I take my shirt off and put on a plain black tee shirt with 'Battle Born' written across the top, along with my grey pair of sweatpants.
I hop into bed and lay beside Ammon as he moves closer to me and wraps his little arms around mine.
"Hey buddy.." I run my fingers through his hair.
"Hi daddy.." He smiles looking up at me.
"Have you been a good boy for mommy?" I wait for a reply until Tana interrupts us -
"Hey, hold Gunnar for a second, I'm gonna go get a drink.."
I take Gunnar from her arms and hold him in mine. He looks so cute when he sleeps it's unreal. His tiny chest rising and falling with every breath he takes. I could watch him sleeping for hours. He's just so perfect.
"Daddy, can I sleep here tonight? Please" Ammon asks.
"Yeah, if you want to" I smile at him.
He crawls up to the pillows and gets under the blanket and makes himself comfortable and rests his head against the pillows. Turning his body towards me as his eyes close and he drifts off into a deep sleep. I kiss his head and turn the TV off, so that both of my children can sleep without any interruptions. Tana walks in holding a cold bottle of water against her lips as she drinks it.
"Are they sleeping in here?" She asks, putting the water down on her bedside table peeling the blanket back and lays down and cuddles with Ammon.
"Yeah, Ammon asked.."
She wraps her arms around Ammon's small body and closes her eyes.
"Alright then.." She falls into a deep sleep.
My eyes stay locked on Gunnar and I watch him sleep. I stare at my perfect little boy. He's amazing, no trouble at all. He doesn't cry during the night anymore, which is a relief, so Tana and myself can get a full nights sleep, ready to take care of them the next day.
My eyes close, and I sleep for the rest of the night.
---------------
I'm first to wake. I'm always first to wake. As soon as my eyes open, Gunnar wakes up. I smile at him and he smiles back.
"Good morning" I rub his arm with my thumb.
Smiling is the only thing he does. He's such a happy baby, we must be doing something right. His face light's up everytime he sees my face or hears my voice. I'm not just saying that. He holds my thumb with his tiny hand and squeezes it with all of his strength.
"You're a strong little guy aren't you?" I giggle at him.
He just continues to smile. He's too adorable.
"Let's get you some food.."
I carry him downstairs holding a little blanket around his body.
--------------
"Hey, would you like to go out for lunch today?" Ally's text me.
I go find Tana and she's sitting with Ammon and Gunnar watching cartoons that Ammon likes.
"Hey babe, can I go out for lunch with Allan later?"
"Uh, yeah sure if you want to.." She replies. "How come only now you two are hanging out, I've never heared you mention him since last night" She continues.
"Um, well I don't know. We're just catching up.."
I sit down on the single couch and pull out my phone.
"Yeah, I can come out for lunch" I reply.
-------------
"Hey!" Ally yells rushing over to me before wrapping her arms around my chest and hugging me tight.
"Hi" I shortly reply.
"Let's go in.." She pulls me into a cute little cafe that she chose. We sit down opposite each other and order our drinks and sandwiches.
"Have you got children?" She starts the conversation.
"Yeah, two boys" I say with a smile on my face.
"What are their names?" She asks with curiosity in her voice.
"My eldest is Ammon and my youngest is Gunnar" I keep the smile on my face.
"Aww, how cute! I always thought you'd have children"
"Have you got any?"
"Me? Oh no. I haven't met anyone who I want to spend the rest of my life with and start up a family" She replies.
Our food soon comes and I dig in straight away. I skipped breakfast this morning. I guess I wasn't really up for eating earlier, but now I am so hungry. I finish the first half of my meat filled bread within a few minutes along with half of my cold glass of coke. I look up at Ally, and she's just staring at me. Uh, okay...
We sit and chat a little after our lunch and I occasionally see Ally staring and biting her lower lip at me. I don't know what to make of it. Is she attracted to me or what? Or does she just do that all the time?
"Do you wanna go?" She asks.
"To where?"
"Uh, we can go to my hotel if you'd like.." She quickly says.
"Uh, okay.."
"Great, you can follow me in your car" She smiles at me.
"Okay.." I stare at her.
--------
We walk into her hotel room. It's nice. A nice light color spread across the walls with a few pictures hanging around. She leads me into the living room and I sit myself down on her cream couch. She grabs me a can of coke and brings it to me and sits next to me, a bit to close maybe. She turns the tv on and puts on a film, a chick flick. She could at least put something better on. An action film would be great.
She moves closer to me again and rests her hand on my thigh.
"Uh.."
She then lifts herself up and sits herself on my lap, putting her hands on my shoulders.
"What are you doing?" I whisper, as she stares into my eyes.
"Be quiet.." She inches her face closer to mine and I can feel her breath on my lips and she runs her fingers through her hair.
"Will you get off me please?" I gulp and quickly speak.
"Shh.." She whispers.
She shuts me up and smashes her lips on mine...
