Part 11

I pulled up outside the house, turning off the ignition and turning around to check on Maia, as i originally thought she was asleep and snoring her little head off. 

"I will grab Maia out and get her settled, would you mind bringing in some of the bags?" i asked brad sweetly, knowing full well i wouldn't bring anything in and would just let him do it. i think he realised this as he huffed as i handed him the keys so he could lock up after. "Thanks Love," i said smiling before leaving the car and going round to retrieve Maia from her car seat. 

I opened the door and took Maia straight upstairs into our room,  i lay her on the bed then nipped into brads room to retrieve her teddy for her. 

"Oh i see, you stayed in my room last night did you?" Brad said from the doorway, startling me. 

"Shit Brad! You shit me right up," i exclaimed clutching my chest, "and simple answer, yes," 

"It's fine, haha, not like its anything new," he said referencing our past relationship. I sighed as those memories flooded my mind before making my way into Maia's room to give her her teddy. I laid it next to her and lay a light kiss on her head, turning to exit the room only to see brad standing in the doorway just observing her. As he noticed me looking he smiled and wiping at his eyes at the tears that i hadn't even noticed were there. I stood under him as he looked down at me, i wrapped my arms around his torso as he wrapped his around my shoulders kissing me lightly on the head. 

"She's ours you know" i beamed up at him. 

"I know and i couldn't wish for any better," he said as i also turned around to admire her. Unexpectedly he wrapped his strong arms around my chest holding me close and resting his head on my shoulder, whispering "my girls," making me smile from ear to ear. 

i turned around to look at him, for a good 2 minutes i just stood there taking in all of his beauty. Nothing else matters right now. Our past, forgotten. Our baby, everything. 

I clicked out of my daze and stared into his eyes intently as he began to lean in. I reacted in the same way and leant in, our lips touched for the first time in years and as usual sent sparks throughout my whole body, i began to push him backwards into his room so we could have a little more privacy. as we got to his bedroom door, Nat walked out of her  room causing us to pull apart. for a good few seconds she just stood there staring at us in disbelief. 

"Well then talk about bad timing" she giggled. " i don't know whether mum has told you but we're going out for dinner, you coming?" she asked. 

"No we'll stay here with Maia," brad said and Nat's eyebrow lifted. 

"I'm sure you will," she teased making me roll my eyes. 

"Ahh, good you're both here, right Nat get your stuff we're going now. We shouldn't be back too late but if you need anything you know where it is so help yourself," she said smiling at me, "Oh and Bradley, behave" she said sternly. i spluttered a laugh along with Nat. 

"Oh and we'll lock the door after to stop brad from doing a runner again," Nat joked, i laughed and high-fived her. i looked back to see brad getting more agitated with each joke. i made w=my way over to him and leant into him causing him to wrap his arm around me like before. 

"Right, you two come on and leave him alone," Derek said ushering them downstairs and out of the house. Leaving us two standing awkwardly on the landing in silence. 

"Ermmm... what do you want to do?" i asked brad awkwardly hoping he had some great idea. 

"Well there's something I've been planning all day so we can do that if you want," he smiled, while i looked at him confused. He just smiled and put his hand out for me to take which i did. He lead me downstairs, through the kitchen and to the garage door. i looked at him again even more confused. He just laughed and opened up the door to reveal a large open plan area with a couch, drum kit, guitars, piano and computer desk in. 

"Woah, glow up much?" I said laughing he just looked at me as if to say 'what the fuck you on about?'. "saw it on twitter sorry," i laughed again. He smiled and lead me into the room and sat me on the couch in front of his piano. He then sat down at the piano playing a few chords before he started singing. I sat there in awe listening to every syllable that left his mouth. His facial expressions showed his real pain as he sang this song to me, the power and effort he put in broke my heart. He finished up the song and i wished he could just go round one last time but i don't think he could do it. 

"So that was my letter to you, 'Another World' although originally it was called 'Leah'." He said, his voice wobbly. "I wanted to sing that to you ever since i wrote the first line and hearing you today in the Disney store showed me that i finally needed to tell you my true feelings. So there you go," He said standing up from the piano, I stood up also and hugged him tightly. 

"That was so beautiful Brad. I love you."
