*~! Allison's POV !~*




I sighed and called up Eva.

"Hey baby girl," she answered. I could hear my god-daughter whining in the background.

"Hey babe. Uhh, shopping day?" I asked. She replied with a squeal, which I translated as "yes."

"Gahh Eva! I'll pick you up in 45 minutes, k?" I questioned waiting for her answer.

"Yeah, 45! I gotta get ready. See you later," she said and hung up.

I sighed laying on my bed. Danielle was on her way over, and we would ride together to get Eva and Krystin. Cody had bought an escalade ESV incase us girls decided to have a day out like today. Because of all the carseats, the Escalade was much needed.

I walked over to Kyden who was surrounded by pillows on our bed.

"Hi baby! You like spending time with mommy?" I asked and she gave me a toothless grin.

"That's right! And you love mommy, right?" I asked already knowing the answer. She giggled, and I saw her blue eyes twinkle. They weren't a normal blue, they were more like an electric blue.

"You're so gorgeous," I whispered. I sulked around, still waiting for Danielle. She told me she was gonna be here 15 minutes after Cody left. Cody. The man I love. The man I now miss. And he's only been gone for about two and a half hours, it's now 10AM.

"I miss your daddy," I sighed as I picked up Kyden. I don't think I could live without her or my husband. No, not think. I know I can't.

Kyden and I sat in a chair in my room, her on my lap, as Danielle busted through my door.

"Need some help?" I politely asked, setting Kyden down, then going to help my best friend.

"Thanks," she replied once she got settled. "Soooooo?" She asked and I raised an eye brow at her.

"You gave Cody some, didn't you?!" She gasped and clamped her mouth shut.

"Dani! Okay, yes, I did! But it was only a shower! It wasn't romantic and stuff," I scoffed.

"You lying whore! It was good, you look like it was good, but you also look like you miss him more than you should," she snickered and pulled Kyden up, while setting Christian on the bed.

"Ugghh, I hate the fact that you know me. But it was good. Probably the best ever," I sighed reminiscing in our intimate times.

"You say that every time," she giggled and strapped Christian up so we could leave.

We trudge toward the car with two car seats. Shawn had Caleb for today, so it was just Kyden and Christian. Once we pulled up to Eva's house, I saw Shawn and Caleb waving as she left with Krystin.

"Hey babe," I said as she got into the car.

"Hi," she said dryly.

"What's up with you?" Dani asked as Eva finished buckling in her daughter.

"Shawn... I didn't catch any," she whined and I drove off. The car was silent before I busted out, laughing, followed by Danielle.

"What's funny?!" She yelled.

"It- I just- he, BAHAHAHA!" Was all I could manage to get out. Eva was pouting until we got to the mall, and the laughing finally ceased.

We all pilled out, each grabbing a stroller. Walking into a Victoria Secret, we decided to explain why we laughed.

"I was just laughing because y'all have sex EVERYDAY. And the one day you don't, you're pissed," I laughed.

"Come on E, you can't have it everyday! He's probably just tired. Don't think about it too hard. I want my best friend to be happy," Danielle said and hugged Eva.

"It's just I hope he's not cheating. That would crush me," she sobbed into Danielle's shoulder, and I rubbed her arms.

"Baby, he would never cheat. You are a bad ass, boss ass bitch! You don't have any competition," I tried and consoled her.

"It's a good thing we're in Victoria's Secret! That was you can get something and make him happy tonight," Dani suggested. Eva nodded and got herself together in a bathroom.


We left the mall, and headed back to my house. I get so lonely sometimes with Cody working.

"You okay?" Eva asked me as I just silently held Kyden.

"Uhh, yeah. I'm good. It's just sometimes I miss Cody. That's my baby," I sighed and admitted.

"Yeah, I know. That's how I feel when David has to go to meetings too," Dani replied and I nodded.

We sat around and talked about the guys, which ended in 3 crying women. Don't ask me why, cause we didn't even know why. We just... Cried.

I dropped Danielle and Eva off at their houses, and Kyden and I headed back home too. When I walked in, Cody was waiting at the table with dinner.

"Hi baby," he whispered and I trailed over to him.

"Hey," I smiled and kissed his lips. He grasped them like he didn't want to let go, and that's when I knew something was wrong. Finally pulling my bottom lip into his mouth, and gently letting go, we ended the kiss.

"It's kinda late... I'm gonna go lay Kyden down, and I'll be right back," I smiled to Cody, he tickled a sleeping Kyden, and I flashed him a death glare. He kissed her cheek and temple and I left out.

I came back and Cody had two candles lit, which weren't there before I laid our daughter down.

"What's all this?" I smiled at my husband and he wrapped his arms around my waist, as I slid mine around his neck.

"A man can't surprise his wife?" He whispered, tingling my ear.

"Haha, I guess you're right... I missed you today babe," I admitted and he sighed, pulling away. I hung my head low, afraid that I had annoyed him again. He tugged out a chair for me to sit in, and I accepted the offer, taking my seat.

"Babe, why are you being weird?" I asked bluntly after about 5 minutes of silence. There was never silence between us unless we were kissing... Well, until I got back.

"It's just... Well, I don't know. I feel really bad for leaving you here with Kyden all day," he said and looked up to meet my awaiting eyes. He smiled once he saw I was looking at him.

"Oh. Well, it gets kind of lonely. But I'll get over it," I answered.

"I know, I'm so so sorry. But... Now that we're together," he started and stood behind my chair. "We can talk," he said before kissing my neck. "We can laugh," he kissed me again. "And we can do naughty things too mama," he whispered kissing behind my ear. My hormones were going CRAZY, but I controlled myself.

"Hmm... Lets start with talking," I whispered and he nodded, taking a seat.

"So, I've been kind of thinking about what your parents said," I started, taking a bite of my chicken.

"You did? Babe, I promise, Kelly isn't gonna bother you. If she does, you know I'll handle it!" He exclaimed making me drop my fork.

"Baby, calm down! I meant when they were talking about another... Baby?" I croaked out. He just sat there, blankly staring.

"Another baby?"

"Cody, I know we just had Kyden! But I meant, like later. How about in another year?" I asked.

"I would love to have another kid, babe! It's fun being a dad. My only problem is how do we treat them the same? I mean, you've seen how much I love Kyden. She's my world, along with you. But adding another kid? Would that make me love you guys less?" He genuinely questioned and I giggled at the adorable face he was giving me.

"Let me answer you by asking a question. Did you love Shawn any less when I came in?" I asked and he shook his head no. "Did you love me any less when Kyden came?" He responded the same way. "Right; we all have a different place in your heart. You don't love me the same way you love Shawn or Kyden or even Eva, at least I hope so," I said and he laughed.


"You're right. I think I would like being a new daddy again in a year. OH, AND MY SON CAN BEAT UP BOYS THAT TRY TO TALK TO KYDEN!" He yelled.

"Shhh! I might have to beat you up if you wake up Kyden!" I whisper/yelled.

"Oh, sorry," he chuckled and kissed my cheek.

"You know, we've been together for a year and 2 months," I smiled at my mate. My husband is so gorgeous.

"I know. It doesn't even seem like that long. But I love you more and more," he grinned and kissed my lips softly.

"Stuff like that might get us a kid before we plan," I whispered and smirked.

"Hahaha! That's why I love you baby," he chuckled and pulled me to the living room. I sat between Cody's legs as he played in my hair.

"Did you like my hair today?" He randomly asked. I laughed and shook my head.

"That's random, but yeah. I love your long hair," I smirked. "My little white boy," I finished with a laugh.

"Hey, not every white boy can do it like me!" He corrected and I half turned to him.

"You are so right... My little white boy," I giggled again and pecked his Adam's apple. He shivered under my lips.

"You can't do stuff like that babe," he grimaced and politely moved my head, repositioning himself.

"Sorry," I smirked and did it again.

"Alright, that's it," he said and started tickling me.

"Babe! BABY! CODY STOP!" I yelled, my stomach hurting from the excessive laughing. I looked up, and saw Cody's ice blue eyes. He was now straddling me, with his buddy poking my side.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered. I blushed and smiled at him.

"Thank you baby. You're gorgeous too," I smiled pulling him down for a kiss. Just as our lips connected, our front door flew open. Cody somewhat growled and stood up from me.

"HAI Y'ALL. I JUST WANTED TO STOP BY. I - I feel so good!" Shawn yelled, apparently drunk.

"Shawn, look at me," Cody said pulling me up and walking to his drunken friend.

"What?! Th- there's nothing w-wrong with me, except that stupid bit-" he started and I spoke up.

"Don't you dare speak of Eva like that!" I yelled stepping up to my big brother.

"Alli, go over to Eva's and check on her and Krystin. I'll deal with this," Cody instructed kissing me quickly before I left, grabbing Kyden and her diaper bag.

I trust Cody, but I do not want my daughter around a drunk man. Not only that, but I knew Shawn and my husband were gonna start yelling at each other soon.

I called Danielle, and she sent David to my house, then headed to Eva's with the twins. We pulled up at the same time and walked in, seeing my bestfriend on the floor with a bottle of vodka, and Kristyn screaming her lungs out. I couldn't believe she had a whole bottle! Not a glass, a whole bottle.

"Oh my gosh," I whispered. I went into Kristyn's room, rocking her back and forth, after I laid our children down. Finally, after about 10 minutes, I got her to calm down, and added her to the crib. They were all so small, so they slept peacefully together.

Their house was a mess, pictures thrown everywhere. One of Shawn's favorite things was photography, so he took pictures of Eva, Krystin and the wedding. They framed them all, and hung them nicely around the house. But now, they were destroyed.

"What happened baby?" I asked as I rocked her back and forth. Danielle was making some coffee to see if that would calm our bestfriend down.

"He... He wouldn't," she sobbed into my chest.

"Eva, you all got into a fight because he would have sex with you?!" I yelled.

"N-no! That's not the reason. It's just, w-when he d-didn't, he c-couldn't give m-m-me a good answer as to w-why not! He's cheating! I know he is!" She screamed and threw another picture. I pulled her closer to my chest, watching as her eyes became more red and puffy, and she shivered.


"Eva, calm down. Shawn would never cheat on you," Danielle said handing her the cup, and rubbing her back.

"E, you have a gorgeous daughter together. You guys are married now, which I'm sorry about missing, but you did it anyways. Y'all have a bond that can never be broken!" I tried consoling her.

"Allison, I just... I just really missed him! I hadn't seen him all day, and when he got here, he just went into that stupid library, and ignored me!" She screamed throwing the vodka across the room.

"Okay. You need some sleep baby girl, lets go lay down," Dani suggested and we helped her up. She stumbled over to her room before erupting in tears. We laid her down, and slept on either side of her. When a bestfriend needs you, dammit, you better be there.

"Shh. It's okay. We'll see him tomorrow," I rocked her back and forth.



The next day, I woke up to Eva's doorbell being rung. I slid out of the bed, careful not to wake Danielle and Eva.

"Hey," Shawn whispered. I glared at him when he held his arms out for a hug.

"I was drunk, Alli. Please don't be mad," he pleaded and I hugged him anyways. We walked into the kitchen, me glaring as he grabbed and popped two aspirin.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked whispering not trying to make his headache worse.

"Okay, don't tell her, but I'm planning us something. You know I love her so much, I really do. And like I told you, I've never loved anyone in my whole life, and even though we've been together for a year, I'm still learning. I wanted to build her own studio for her paintings and sculptures and stuff. It's filled up that whole room upstairs, so I thought this would be a great gift. So I've been planning it out, and I kinda have been ignoring her. But not on purpose though, I've just been trying to get it done. I admit, I haven't spent time with her or our daughter in around three weeks, but I really want this for her. But yesterday, she was just yelling and saying I cheated, and I really didn't! I would NEVER and I mean EVER cheat. She's the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on besides my daughter," he sighed. Just as he finished, we heard someone cough from behind the corner. She poked her head in; it was Eva.

"Baby," Shawn whispered and enveloped her in a hug.

"I'm so sorry. I meant nothing I said last night. I love you so so so much. I never want to be without you, ever. And I seriously am sorry. I just want you to have this to put your stuff in. And I'm planning it all by myself because I want you to be able to take care of Krystin at the same time. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me," he sobbed and they cried together. I "awwed" at this moment. It was so sweet, yet heart wrenching

"I'm sorry Shawn. I didn't mean anything! I was just upset because you haven't touched me or Krystin in three whole weeks. I just... I miss you," she sobbed.

"I won't work. I won't work or plan or do anything for a whole week. Seven days. I won't hang with Cody or David or anyone! I swear, we'll be home together for the next seven days, okay?" He said and kissed her so deeply. I slipped away to wake up Danielle.

"Dan," I said and shook her.

"Hmmff?" She replied, barely awake.

"He's back. They're good now. We can leave," I whispered, and went to check on the babies.

When I came in, all of my tiny kids were asleep. They looked so cute and Kyden and Caleb were tangled up together, just like we planned.




I got home to an eager Cody. He kissed me too fast, and took Kyden away.

"Baby! I missed you!" He cooed at her slinging her in the air.

"Uhh, your wife is here too," I spat jealously, and he chuckled.

"Sorry babe. How was last night?" He asked before kissing me the right way.

"Thank you. It was okay. But you know what? I wanna go see Jace tomorrow. It's been a while, and I miss him so much," I said and walked to the kitchen.

"MY LITTLE DUDE!" Cody yelled, making me drop my juice.

"Fuck Cody! Why are you so happy?!" I snapped and he hung his head down, popping a bottle into our daughter's mouth.

"Sorry... It's just last night, I was thinking about how miserable I was when you left. And when I saw how hurt Shawn was, I was really happy that you're back. You have no idea how much I missed you," he whispered running his lips across mine before connecting the two sets.

"You're so sweet..." I trailed off hugging him and Kyden.
