For me there's only you || Wesley Stromberg

Chapter 16 - We Can't Keep Him

'Presley pov'

I stood there holding a baby of about 10 months old in my arms. Wes was opposite me staring at the baby. It was a little black baby. He was so cute, he had a jet black afro and big brown eyes. He was crying though. Why would someone leave a baby this size at our door. Wes ran outside and started shouting. 'WHOEVER LEFT IS A BABY BETTER COME BACK AND GET IT' he yelled angrily. 'ITS NOT FUNNY' he continued. 'Wes stop, its twelve at night everyone is sleeping, get in here' I yelled at him. 'but someone can't just leave a baby at our door' he snapped. 'don't yell at me I'm as shocked as you are' I replied. He stormed back in slamming the door behind him. I could tell his blood was boiling. 'just calm down, here' I said handing him the baby. 'no' he protested. 'Wes take the baby' I said forcing him into his arms. I went to the box where he was left and checked for any information, I found a note. 'there's a note Wes' I said but he was just stating at the baby in shock. 'Wes' I repeated. 'huh?' he said looking up at me. 'there's a note' I said. 'what does it say' he asked. It was hard to read and it looks like a child's writing, but I read it anyway.

'Please take my baby Cyrus. He is 12 months old, born on July 2nd 2011. I'm sorry for doing this to you but I need my family and food and if I keep my baby we will both die so please just take care for him and don't ever let him know about me. I would of given you money but I have none since I'm only fourteen. please accept him and maybe some day I will return for him. Thank you.' I read out loud.

'she can't just leave her baby with us' shouted Wes causing Cyrus to cry again. 'Jesus Wes calm ' I said taking the baby from him. I held Cyrus close to me and tried to calm him down. 'he's probably starving, here I'll go to the shop and get some good' I said. 'what? and me stay with him' asked Wes. 'fine you go then' I said walking into the kitchen with Cyrus. Wes ran upstairs to get changed and then entered the kitchen. 'what will I get?' he asked quietly. 'just get formula and diapers for now' I said. 'will you be okay here?' he continued. 'yeah I'll be fine' I replied, he grabbed his3 car keys and phone and left. I sat down on the kitchen chair and looked at Cyrus. He was super cute and had eyes that could melt anyone's heart. Wait we have bottle to feed him. I picked up my phone and rang Wes.

'hello' he said.

'we don't have any bottles either' I said.

'okay I'll get one when I find a store' he said.

'okay, Um do you think I should call Drew or Skyler to help us' I said.

'no we don't need them now, I'm pulling up into a shop now so I'll be home soon' he said.

'yeah okay bye' I said hanging up. Cyrus started to fall asleep in my arms which was a nice and strange feeling. He just for in my arms perfectly. I walked around the house with him trying to soothe him. Wes then returned with a box of diapers, formula, bottles and dummies. 'hey' I said with a soft smile. 'is he asleep?' said Wes walking towards me after setting the box on the counter. He stood beside me looking down at Cyrus. 'here, I'll go mix the formula' I said gently handing him Cyrus. He seemed to hesitate but then took him. Cyrus woke up and started to cry and Wes panicked. 'w-what will I do' he asked. 'just walk around with him' I said entering the kitchen. I took our the formula and bottle and made it for him. I walked back into the sitting room to find Wes singing him to sleep. I smiled and sat down on th couch indicating for Wes to join me. He sat next to me and I took Cyrus in my arms and fed him. We both just watched him drink the bottle in awe, we never thought this would be us right now at this moment in time. 'you're really good at this' said Wes in a low husky tone. 'its not that hard' I replied. 'it sorta is of you're not used to it' he replied. 'what are we gonna do' I said looking at Wes and the Cyrus. 'I don't know yet Pres but right now we have to make sure he's okay, I'm gonna go upstairs and get something for him to sleep in' he said getting up of the couch. 'Wes we can do this' I said as he walk upstairs. 'can we Presley?' he said walking up the stairs and entering our bedroom.
