- a few months later-
It had been a month since Dallas was born and Rian was having a wonderful time, he had gotten right into the swing of things as soon as he brought him home. I couldn’t believe it was all happening so fast the wedding was a week away and their future together looked so perfect.
“Avery!” I heard someone call my name and then a baby screeching at the top of it’s lungs. I ran to the kitchen to find Rian looking flustered. “They took Alicia away for the weekend I can’t do this on my own. Can you please help me!” Rian begged it looked like he was about to break down in tears so how was I supposed to say no. I carefully took baby Dallas out of his arms and began to rock him humming hush little baby in his ear. He instantly fell asleep in my arms and when I looked over Rian was fast asleep on the coach.
“You really tired out daddy didn’t you Dallas,” I cooed to him he instantly opened his eyes and stared at me. “You are a very lucky boy you know, your daddy is a very kind man and you have some of the best uncles anyone could ask for.” I heard the front door and I quickly ran to tell Jack to be quite. “Now stay away from uncle Jack because he will take you to strip clubs and thats gross.” I teased sticking my tongue out in Jack's direction, Dallas giggled so I did it again making him giggle louder which made Rian wake up.
“Shit I’m sorry Av,” he said sounding as if he was going to fall right back to sleep.
“Bro, take a rest we will take this little guy out for a bit so you can have a break,” Jack said pushing Rian back onto the couch gently.
“All you need is in the bag I carried in, thanks guys.” Rian said his eyes instantly closing. I carefully swaddled Dallas up and then headed outside.
“Do you want to try holding him?” I asked turning to Jack who was staring down at the baby all starry eyed.
“What if I break him?” Jack asked taking a step away from us.
“Don’t be silly, come on give it a go,” I persuaded. Jack finally caved after I stared at him with my bottom lip out. “It will be fine.” I insisted. Almost as soon as Dallas left my arms he started to fuss so I quickly took a picture of the pair for proof that Jack didn’t break him and took him back into my arms.
“I told you I would break him,” Jack said looking sad.
“He cried...baby’s cry you definitely did not break him,” I chuckled as Jack linked his arm around my waist.
“Av,” he said stopping.
“Yeah Jacko?” I inquired.
“When are we going to tell Rian?” he asked. It was a fair question we had been seeing each other for a while now ever since that kiss something had sparked. It just felt so comfortable so right and it scared me a bit because I had never felt this strongly for someone...other than Rian.
“When we get back,” I said turning towards him to see if he was going to agree he nodded.
“He’s going to be pretty jealous,” Jack mused.
“Why is that his life seems to be pretty perfect…” I replied.
“But one thing would have made it even more perfect…”Jack said swooping in to kiss me. He pulled away leaving my cheeks burning a bright red colour. “I love you Avery.”
“I love you too Jack.” I replied as we walked back towards the house. When we got inside we could smell the sweet aroma of chinese take out...we both stared at each other had we really been gone that long and in fact we had been walking with Dallas for about three hours.
“Did he give you too much trouble?” Rian asked worriedly as soon as we walked in. I placed Dallas into his jolly jump that permanently resided here kneeling in front of him and helping him bounce.
“He was great only cried once,” I replied showing Rian the picture of Jack and the baby.
“Really...whoa whenever Alicia takes him out he wales…”Rian said scratching his head.
“I guess Av is like Dr.Dolittle only with babies,” Jack mused. “Umm Rian we have something to tell you,” Jack said turning towards me looking a bit pale.
“You guys are dating...don’t worry I’m cool with it ecstatic actually my two best friends are dating how much better could this get!” he said pulling us both into a hug.
“How did you know?” I asked confused.
“Av, I’ve known you since we were fifteen I was bound to catch on...and I saw a fan posted a picture of you two kissing, how come you didn’t tell me sooner?” he asked looking a bit hurt.
“We were nervous I guess,” I replied shrugging my shoulders. I was so glad he was okay with this it was such a relief.
