-HUNTERS P.O.V-
I sit on the bed feeling guilty about trying to make Skylar do something she wasnt ready for. I just wanted to have a family with her but in the midst of thinking about what I wanted, I didnt think about what she needed. What she needed was time, time to think about everything her mind could think of, without me interrupting her thoughts. "Whatever." I whisper through my hands as I think about what to say to not mess this up more, not knowing that little statement already did. "Yeah, whatever." She says walking to the door and I look up as my heart breaks from the look on her face, she looked hurt and I knew I was the cause for the tears running down her light pink cheeks. "Where are you going?" "Anywhere but where you are!" She yelled quietly at me before walking out the door and I break down the second the door shuts. I lay back on the bed and I run my hands through my hair as tears fall down my face. How did I mess up so bad with her? Earlier we were sitting on the old racing slides, as we had called them, talking about how much we loved each other and the amazing past we shared together and now she doesnt even want to look at me. I take a deep breath and I hear a yawning noise come from Natalies crib. I look over and I see her standing and rubbing her eyes. "Hey princess." I whisper and I pick her up and she smiles. I lean against the pillows on the bed and she lays next to me as tears still fall down my face and I try to wipe them away. "Daddy, owie?" She says pointing to my tears and I nod and she wraps her arms around my neck giving me a hug and she kisses my cheek where the tears were. "Better?" She asks smiling and I nod. "All better Dr. Natty." I say and she giggles her adorable giggle that resembled Skylars. "Mommy?" She asks looking around and I put my hand on her little cheek and she looks at me. "Mommys mad at Daddy, she'll be back soon princess." I say kissing her head and she nods though I knew she didnt understand, I admired her innocence, and even though I knew she would, I had always hoped she wouldnt lose that part of her. "Im tired." She says rubbing her eyes and she lays down next to me again and I wrap my arm around her and she cuddles her head into my side and I smile and lay my hand on her small back. "I love you Princess." "Love you." She says in her little voice. I soon find her breathing steady and I smile as I feel her chest rise and fall slowly. She was my little princess. I soon find my own eyes getting heavy and I fall asleep, tears still on my cheeks.
-SKYLARS P.O.V-
I get out of the car as I felt guilty, Hunter wasn't saying we should have a baby right now, he was just saying it was something we should think about and I let the problem turn from something small to something huge. I wanted another baby, a bigger family, but I let the worry flood my mind and now my husband was inside and probably didnt even want to see my face. I walk inside anyways and I go to the room and I see Hunter asleep with Natalie asleep against his side and I smile. He wasnt a bad Dad, not at all. He was the best Dad I could ask for for Natalie, he gave her everything he could. I sit on the end of the bed feeling guilty still about what I said to Hunter earlier. He was there for Natalie, and he would be there if we had another child. "You're back." Hunter whispers sitting up making sure to not wake up Natalie and I jump, startled, and Hunter rubs his eyes and sits on the end of the bed next to me. "Hunter-" "I'm sorry." We say at the same time and I laugh lightly at the fact that we both said it. "You first." He whispers looking at me and I open my mouth ready to start and his eyes never leave me, as if they were studying me, and right now I felt like an open book, all my emotions laid out in front of me. "Im sorry, I'm sorry that I said you should try being there for Natalie because you don't have to try, you are there for her. You are the best dad for her and I'm sorry about what I said to you. I know your job, it takes a lot of you, but I also know you try your hardest to be there for Natty and I, and I know youll be there for the new baby too." "Skylar, I know I'm a- wait, baby?" He says looking at me his eyes sparkling and he smiles. "Yes, baby. After the tour we will work on growing our family." "Skylar!" Hunter says taking my face in his hands and he kisses me excitedly as tears form in his eyes. "Now my turn." He says and I stop him. "No it doesnt matter, I was the one who overreacted." I say and he shakes his head. "You did what every normal girl would do if her stupid husband asked about another having a baby." Hunter says and I laugh and nod nervously. "I can't wait to have another baby with you Hunter, I'm just scared." I whisper and Hunter smiles and kisses my forehead. "Dont be scared, I always have been and I always will be here for you." He says and I smile. "You're an amazing dad." I add and he looks down taking my hands. "And you're an amazing mom." He says and I smile and look at Natalie whos asleep her blonde hair across her face and I laugh. "Dr. Natty helped me with my 'owie'." He says quietly and I laugh. "I'm sorry for giving you it." "It was my own fault." "I love you." I whisper. "Always and forever." He whispers and I kiss him smiling. "Let's go to bed, its been a long night." Hunter says picking Natalie up and he lays her in her crib. I change into PJ shorts and a white tanktop and I get in bed and Hunter lays down next to me. "What gender do you think itll be?" "A boy." "I can't wait." "Me either." "When's my tour over again?" He says and I smile. "Not soon enough." I whisper and Hunter kisses me. "I know Sky, but before we know it we'll be in that hospital holding a new little Hayes in our arms." "We will have so much to do." "Ready?" "I'm not sure, I guess we'll find out." I whisper and he smiles and kisses me. "Get some rest Sky, I love you." "Always and forever." I whisper back and I soon find myself falling asleep against Hunters rising and falling chest.
