Complications (Muke)

4

I sat on the bed, craving for the calming sensation of sleep to wash over me and pull me into the darkness.

Lillian was sleeping, and it was nearly 3 a.m.

My eyes were becoming heavy, so I curled up under the warmth, and almost comfort, of the large, red and gold patterned blanket. It was nearly comforting, I wasn't far from feeling secure, but I was missing one thing.

The love of my life for two years.

I sighed and rolled over, facing my tiny baby and shutting my eyes.

I was asleep within minutes.

***

It was about noon, and I had Lilly  in one arm, my other arm holding a bottle that she was hungrily feeding from.

There was a quiet knock on the hotel door and I got up, opening it. Lilly whined a bit when the bottle was removed from her mouth, but stopped a few seconds later when it was replaced.

Calum was standing at the door. He was wearing black skinny jeans, as usual, and a NASA shirt. His hair was a little bit messy, and he smiled.

"Hey." I greeted him, letting him in and closing the door with my foot.

We sat on the bed and he silently watched me feed my daughter until she stopped.

I set the bottle on the nightstand and put her on my shoulder so I could burp her.

"She's so beautiful." He smiled.

I smiled back. "Thank you." I replied.

"She's your niece." I added, causing him to smile again. 

"You're such a good dad, Mike." He told me after the baby let out a teeny tiny burp.

I shrugged.

"I'm alright I guess." I sighed.

"Can I hold her?" Cal asked.

I nodded and very carefully passed the small newborn to him.

He smiled down at her and began cooing to her.

I smiled.

"So um, don't kill me. I'm holding your kid..." He reminded me.

"Why would I kill you?" I questioned.

There was a knock on the door and Cal opened it.

"Michael?" A voice questioned as Cal closed the door.

"What the fuck." I demanded as they stepped around the corner. Luke was there. Right there.

"What?" I asked.

"Can I talk to you?" He asked.

"No." I stated.

"Mike, please?" He begged.

I sighed.

"Fine. Whatever Luke. I don't really wanna hear it." I shrugged, telling him the truth. I didn't wanna hear his stupid excuses for fucking another guy.

"I'm gonna take Lilly to my place. Okay?" Calum asked.

After a hesitant moments, I agreed and he grabbed the diaper bag and car seat.

He walked out and closed the door.

Luke sat on the bed and studied me for a minute.

"Did you sleep last night?" He questioned.

"Not really." I admitted.

"Babe..." He trailed off.

"Luke.." I sighed.

"I love you Michael. I really do. And I'm so sorry. I only fucked him once. I swear I'll never do it again. I love you so much." He told me. He passionately pressed his lips against mine.

"I love you too. I forgive you, Luke." I said.

"I have a question..." He told me.

"What?" I asked.

Unexpectedly, he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.

"Michael, I love you so much. I promise I'll always love you and treat you right. Will you be my happily ever after?" He asked.

"Oh my god Luke, yes!" I exclaimed.

A huge grin showed on his face as he slid the ring onto my finger and kissed me.

Super short I'm sorry omggg
