Something so little, changed us forever.

Not the basement!

"What is it?" Bianca wrinkled her nose.

"You know what it is, don’t be a snob." Avery glared at her, only proving to me that they were still not over their recent fight.

"Why do you have a baby Soph?" Disgust covered her face.

"This, is Tyler, Clay calls him Ty." He was asleep in my arms, wearing his only footed onsie, wrapped in a blanket with his bear hat on.

"Who does he belong to Sophia?" Avery touched the back of his head.

"He’s Clays. Well, he’s ours now." I searched her eyes, but no sign of alarm or surprise was there for me to find.

"You’re too young to have a baby Sophia, go give him back." Bianca snarled at me and turned on her heel and walked away.

"I think he’s beautiful." Avery took him from me and held him close, "He’s like a baby doll. He’s perfect Soph."

"I know." I smiled at her and she smiled back. At least she understood.

"Hey what’s wrong with Bee- is that a baby?" Cameron froze in his tracks.

"Nope, he’s a monkey." Avery smiled at him and turned Ty to face him.

"Well he’s the cutest monkey ever." Cameron tapped Ty’s nose "But whose monkey is he?"

"Mine." I beamed, taking him back.

"So this is Ty?" Cameron slipped his hand into Avery’s.

I had kept Clay’s secret for almost a week now, skipping my afternoon art class to watch Ty while he had practice. Not that I minded. Ty had become part of my life.

"This is him." As is on cue he stretched his little legs and started to open his eyes.

"Hey baby girl." Clay kissed my cheek and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I could feel the heat rise is in my face as I snuggled into him.

"You guys are so..." Cameron trailed off, sounding at a loss for words.

"Perfect." Avie laughed, her cheeks incredibly red and her voice light and giggly.

"Seriously, Ty looks like he could be your's, Soph." Cameron smiled as he wrapped his arm around Avery, she looked at her feet shyly.

"I couldn't ask for more." Clay places his lips to my temple, pausing only for a minute.

"Well, I think we should get going." Avery mumbled, playing with her scarf, her cheeks growing more red every minute.

"I know what your up to Avery Mae, don't you play with me." I winked at her and laughed.

"As do I," Cameron chirped, "Bye Monkey." Cameron kissed Ty's foot and winked at Clay.

"See ya doofus." Clay chuckled, turning me around to face him.

"So did you talk to your parents yet?" I searched his eyes, biting my bottom lip.

"Uh, they, uh, weren't home." He cast his eyes somewhere behind me with a guilty smile, throwing his hand up to rustle his hair.

"Clay!" I scrunched up my nose at him and huffed.

"I'm going to tell them babe, I promise." He ran his finger from the top of my forehead to the tip of my nose, unscrunching it.

"Don't call me babe... Sounds like your saying I'm a pig..."

"Well..." Clay smiled at me, trying to look innocent.

"Stupid jerk..." I muttered, trying not to laugh.
