"I'm sorry for ignoring you and acting like you didn't exist before." I whisper sincerely. She sighs.

"It's okay, Liam. That's like the 13th time you've told me that this evening." She giggles quietly.

"But it's true. And I know you're just saying that to make me feel better but it's not helping because I don't know how you really feel about it, and it's bugging the Hell out of me." I say.

My arm drifts across her waist at arm's length and she has her arm on my waist with a small smile on her face. Her cute little dimples show a little bit as she stares down at the little body in between us. Jakob is softly snoring in the middle of the sandwich of the 2 of us and is facing the ceiling with his right arm on my chest a little bit.

"Well, that's what you choose to believe Liam. I already told you I'm fine because now I have you and Jakob and I couldn't ask for anything more." She whispers back sincerely. But, a look of pain flashes through her face. "All I ask of you Liam is to stay by my side. And if not, the doors right there." She nods her head in the direction of the bedroom door behind me. I look behind me and at the door before looking back at her slowly. "And, just.... please don't hurt me Liam." She breathes finally as if it's hurting her to say the words. "Promise me?" She looks at me with sorrow filled eyes and my heart hurts and feels as if it's being ripped out.

"I promise you, Jess." A tear drips on the pillow case from her glossy eyes and I hover over Jakob towards her and kiss it away. "No ones going to hurt you Jessie. I won't let it happen." I say before kissing her ear. I pull away and she sniffs, looking at me thankfully. "Sleep. We can go out later when you both wake." I say as I kiss Jake's forehead and go back into my regular position. I caress her hair as she closes her eyes. It was awhile after Jess closed her eyes that I debated with myself to tell her about my earlier events with Jakob.

"Jake called me Daddy earlier." I barely whisper. I was sorta hoping she hadn't heard me because I wasn't exactly mentally prepared to talk all about what happened. Knowing her, she would've started asking questions, rapid fire and would probably want to know how I feel about it. In all honesty, I don't exactly know how to cope about this. What do you do exactly? Say, "Yeah and I called my girlfriend's godson/adopted-because-his-mother-got-murdered son, mine even though I dissed them and have only known him for a month or so!" That would honestly be like asking her to marry me..... only after a month of knowing her. Not dating her, knowing her.

Luckily, she had already drift off into Lala Land as soft breathes of that bubble gum smell I , oh so desperately love, came out of her mouth. I run the back of my hand along the left side of her face, all the way down to under her chin. But, what possesses me to do this is unknown, I rest my whole hand on her heart. It beats a little over irregular and I can't help but think that it's because of me. I smile and slowly take my hand away from her. I close my eyes and drift off into a deep slumber with a big smile on my face.

Jessie's POV

My eyes are still closed and they have been ever since I felt Liam take his hand off my chest and sigh contently. But, I open them noticing his heavy breathed indicating he fell asleep. Yeah, I heard what he said and I don't know what to do about it or how to feel for Liam. Jake called him Dad? If I was in Liam's place, and I was a guy, I would've took my cue to walk out that door when I told Liam. I would be scared if I was in his place. He's only 20 years old for Christ's sake!

But, he is literally the best thing that has happened to me. Besides Jakob and the boys.

The only thing I can think of his feelings are either scared or uncertainty. That's how I would feel. But since we're going to play it out, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. If he's willing to take me, then he'll stay. But I obviously come with luggage. However, I think we'll be alright. We have support from our friends. The big group we call family. I believe we'll be alright.

I just can't help but think something's going to go terribly wrong....
