Briana

I was sitting on the bed reading with Johnathan and Brylee playing with each other when I heard the front door open, signaling that Chance must have came back.

"No," I said as I pulled Johnathan's hands out of Brylee's hair. "Stop"

They resumed touching each other and laughing as Chance entered the room.

"Hey," he said as he came over and kissed my forehead caressing my face sending chills down my spine.

I truly missed his touch.

"Hey," I mumbled as he picked up Brylee kissing her forehead and then doing the same with Johnathan.

"We need to really talk," he said as he laid his head on my lap with Johnathan and Brylee on his chest.

"Yes we do," I said as I closed my book setting it on the bedside table before running my fingers through Chance's hair. "You start," I told him as I looked down at him.

"I understand that you want me here to take care of the kids and I want to be here too, but I can't just quit my job randomly to do so. My job is to take care of all of us and I can't break the contract. I could just marry you like you suggested but I would want to marry you because I want to, not to come home for the kids. If I quit, then what am I going to do? Start working at some mediocre place? Breaking the contract basically ruins my career history up to this point. I wanted this job and I signed the contract, I can't break it." he said. "Last night was foul and I apologize for speaking to you like that and not keeping the babies. I'm sorry," he looked up at me. "Forgive me and move forward?" he asked not taking his eyes off of me.

"Yes." I answered. "I understand you now, I was being dumb and selfish last night. Marriage would be a big step and I didn't really realize what I was asking you to do, but I do now. I wasn't thinking." I chuckled slightly making light of my mistakes.

"Nah if I was in your shoes, I'd probably say the same thing." He laughed as he reached up and grabbed the back of my head lightly pulling me closer to him until our lips met.

"I love you and I ain't going anywhere aight?" he told me as I nodded my head. "What are we doing today?"

"What do you wanna do?" I asked. "Oooh since you're here, let's take photos?"

"That's cool. Where ya phone?" he asked.

"Chance, I am not about to play with you. I meant professionally and not with my hair looking like this." I said referring to my messy puff. "We can even go to the zoo, I think they'll enjoy that."

"Great idea," he said.

"They need a bath and I need to shower. You got them?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said as he got up carefully picking them up.

"I'll be quick I promise."

"No rush," he responded.

I haven't been able to shower for longer than ten minutes since the babies were born.

After getting dressed, I met Chance in the living room with lunch prepared.

"Thanks," I kissed his cheek as I bit into my sandwich.

"Peek" Chance covered his eyes. "A boo" he got all up in Brylee's face as she laughed at him blowing spit bubbles.

"Let's go," I said as I threw away my trash.
