Baby Riley's Pic

Drake's POV

I woke up because of Riley's cries coming from the babyphone. Tired, i got up and checked on him. His nappy seemed to be still clean. I picked him up and lightly rocked him before whispering "You're hungry big guy? Let daddy make you something," I put him back into the crib and went in the kitchen to prepare a bottle of milk. Then, i checked whether the milk was too hot and it was of the perfect temperature. I brought it back to my son's room and picked him up before feeding him cautiously. It has been days now since Riley has been born. Lara, the mother of Riley as well as my ex sex partner gave birth to him and left him with me, without a care. She demanded a huge sum of money as a compensation and simply left. She was from the beginning a vile and heartless woman. After making Riley burped, he immediately went to sleep and i placed him back in his crib. I then proceeded to my room and layed down on the bed. My thoughts came back to the sweet man i saw few hours ago in the restaurant. He was so beautiful. It was the first time since i was that attracted and interested in someone. He was just so different. He seemed well mannered and peaceful once you meet him, but when you get to know him better you see that he is a small spitfire. I really wanted to know him better. However it seems that his image of me was quite bad. I guess it could be expected with my playboy way, even though i never really cheated before. I had many partners yes but they were all aware that i was playing around, including that bitch of Lara. I sighed and decided to take a nap to kill time. Today was my day off and i wanted to spend as much time as possible with my son as i knew that later i would be busy with work. Hours later i was up and getting Riley dressed up. These days were tiring and hard. I hardly slept because of Riley's constant crying. If it wasn't for my brother currently taking over my business, then it would have definitely closed down. My parents suggested that they take care of Riley but i refused. He was my responsibility, i wanted to be a good father to him. After getting us both dressed i decided to take him to the park. The little guy loved it when i took him outside. I packed some clothes for him, bottles of milk, a small blanket and his toys and we were out of the house. I placed him safely on the safety seat at the back of my car and buckled him up. I drove to the nearest park which was 20 minutes from home by car. Arriving there, i gently took him out and cradled him gently while getting the bag. I then made my way to an empty bench and sat. Riley was smiling brightly while babbling loudly. His small hands would try to reach my face and smack me. I looked down at him and couldn't help smiling softly. He was perfect even though that bitch who was his mother was not my little boy was an angel. Suddenly he started crying. I held him and rocked him but he continued wailing. Was he sick? Did i hurt him? Panic flooded through me when suddenly an angelic voice said "Do you need help?" I looked back and saw Skylar standing there while pointing at Riley. He extended his small arms and being desperate i gently placed Riley into his arms. I watched in awe as Skylar immediately calmed my baby boy by rocking him gently and singing softly to him
I can see it in your eyes your innocence and your pureness. You are such a pretty boy being my whole world. I love you to the back and moon. Oh sing with me that song which shows your glory and awesomeness.
I smiled at the end of the song. New feelings were developing towards this small man. He was absolutely perfect. He instantly calmed Riley while it would take me 1 hour to make him stop crying. Skylar sat next to me on the bench. "He is beautiful." He said lovingly while watching Riley. "He is isn't it? He is my pride and joy." I replied proudly. He chuckled. "Why did you help me? I mean I'm grateful and all but i thought you hated me." I didn't want to make him go away but my curiousity got the best of me. He looked at me briefly before moving his gaze back to Riley. He sighed "You know i don't really hate you it's just your playboy ways that makes me mad. Also, it seemed you were lost when Riley started crying i thought i could help as i was the one who took care of my sister when she was a baby. I got practice." He smiled sheepishly at me. I nodded in understanding and i couldn't help but think that he would make a great parent....for Riley. I never had these feelimgs towards someone else other than him. "Oh! Where is the wife?" He chirped. "She left. Lara was not really my lover, she was more of a sex partner. When she knew she was pregnant she wanted an abortion but i persuaded her to give birth to Riley. Of course like the vile woman she is she asked a sum of money until her pregnancy is over and signed papers to say that she had no responsibity towards Riley. I couldn't agree more to that." I practically growled. I felt a bump on my arm. Skylar was leaning on me. I understood that it was his way of conforting me. "I'm sorry i didn't know. It seems that i judge you to quickly and i deeply apologize for that and-" i cut his rambling by saying "it's alright it's not like i cleared up your misunderstanding on me either so we're equal right?" He smiled brightly at me and me heart skipped a beat. He was beautiful. We made small and comfortable conversation until it was 15 00. By then Riley was sound asleep in Skylar's arm. Skylar gave Riley back to me and stood up. "I'm sorry but i have a dinner with my aunt and sister. I need to go and prepare for tonight." I nodded, disappointed. Before he could walk away, i grabbed him with my free hand and tugged him back. He looked surprised for a minute. "So how about that date?" I said smirking. He chuckled and nodded. I was ecstatic. "Tomorrow night at 7 pm?" He asked. "Sure princess. It will be the best date you ever had." He smirked and stepped right  in front of me "I can't wait." With that he turned away and disappeared. I high fived Riley's small hand. He will be ours Riley. I promise.

Skylar's POV

I couldn't help but feel happy. After today i saw a new facade to Drake Dellenova. He was a doting parent with a strong sense of reponsiblity. That's why i wanted to give him a chance. I felt guilty when he told me about Lara. I judged him too quickly because of my trust issues and i hurt him deeply. I made my way to my apartment thinking of him. I hope he is a good man. It's been a while since i last dated someone. Because of my job it was quite hard for me to stay with someone. I entered the apartment and quickly started preparations for dinner. I was making chicken curry and rice with crab soub, salad as main course and coffee cake as dessert. At 6 30 pm aunt Amy and Carla arrived. We had dinner and talked about several things. I also told them about the date with Drake tomorrow. They were hysteric. They always wanted me to date someone on a long term period. I chuckled at their excited rambling and listened to them all night long.
