"Sooo", I said walking into the room. "What about the guys? Won't they get tired of having a screaming baby around all the time?"
"No, with four 'uncles' and an 'aunt' wanting him all the time, we'll be lucky if we ever see him again!", he answered. "And besides, didn't you know a baby's a chick magnet?"
"They are?"
"Yeah, as long as it's not yours!", he giggled.
"So, with Aiden around, I'm safe assuming your off the market?", I said unamused.
"Moi?", he question himself then shrugged his shoulders in a 'I don't know' gesture.
Oh Lord help me!, I face palmed.
All I had to move was a few small boxes and Aiden's crib.
I called Kat at work and told her the news; she was so happy for me but I could also hear the sadness in her voice. "Well, the rooms yours if you ever need it! So, keep your key." She's the best! Before I hung up, I told her she could come over anytime she wanted and that I would see her later.
Andy took the crib apart while I packed my stuff up; we managed to get it all into both our cars and drove home.
When we arrived no one was there, so we unloaded everything and carried it up to Andy's room. I put our stuff away and he put the crib back together.
When we were done we just hung out in there all night; watching TV and playing with Aiden. We eventually fell asleep, long before anyone came home.
Around 3 a.m. Aiden woke up screaming as usual; I jumped up, grabbed him, and carried him out before he woke Andy up... or anyone else. I rushed down to the kitchen to make him a bottle, while trying to calm him down.
Unfortunately, I was too late; the guys woke up trying to figure out where the hell it was coming from. One by one, they exited their rooms and walked downstairs; I was swaying around and singing softly to Aiden, while his bottle was warming up.
C.C. crept up to me and whispered, "Can I see him?".
I nearly jumped out of my skin, "Shit! You scared me to death!". I turned around to see them all standing there wanting to hold him. "Of course you can, just be careful."
"I will!", he whined taking Aiden into his arms.
"So, when did you come back?", Ashley asked putting his arm around my neck.
"Tonight.", I answered smiling.
"So, you worked everything out?", Jake questioned
"Yeah, I think so."
Jinxx came over and hugged me, "I'm glad your back, we missed you!".
After everyone had their turn holding Aiden, I got him back and began feeding him. "Guys, I'm sorry he woke you up, I told Andy you wouldn't want a crying baby around."
"Nah, It's alright, It's kind of nice!", Jinxx said.
I looked over at Sammi with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on my face, she knew what I was thinking.
"Alright, ya'll go back to bed; I'm staying down here until he falls asleep.", I said as I grabbed my iPod and sat down on the couch in the dimly lit room.
"Night Amanda! Night Aiden!", they quietly called as they headed back to their rooms.
I turned my iPod to 'Done For You' set it to repeat and quietly hummed him to sleep. It amazes me that the song I fell in love with puts him to sleep every time.
ANDY'S POV:
I awoke to an empty bed again, and for a brief moment I was terrified that I had dreamt it all; until I saw Aiden's crib in the corner.
I heard the guys downstairs talking to Amanda and got up to see what was going on. As I reached the stairs, they were coming back up and Amanda was sitting on the couch with Aiden.
The guys were smiling at me and hitting my arm in a congratulatory move as they returned to their rooms. I stayed there watching her rock Aiden to sleep and humming to him.
I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now, I know it's love but its more than that I think. I feel like at this moment in time, with my girl and my son here with me, it's exactly where I'm supposed to be in life.
I crept down the stairs, leaned over the couch and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. I pulled the ear bud out of her ear and sang the rest of the lines to her...
"Welcome home, home tonight... Singing ohhh, ohhh... Welcome home tonight... Ohhh ohh, tonight."

Sorry this is really short, but I've got writer's block...sort of...I've got a few ideas by I'm not sure where to take this. So, maybe in a few days I'll know what's going on.
I love this song, it's one of those songs you can FEEL.; all it takes is for you to close your eyes and listen.
