"Blakey" Gwen says after Blake gets the car seat they borrowed locked in and Lena buckled in.
"What's up sunshine?"
"We have absolutely nothing for her other than diapers. We need a few outfits, pjs, snacks, and a few toys. We need to stop somewhere."
"Only a few outfits, miss fashionista, saying Lena only needs a few outfits?" Blake says in a joking tone
"Oh my god stop it." She says playfully hitting his arm. "I plan on ordering the rest online thank you."
"Ok now it makes sense. We can hit Walmart?"
"Yeah that will work for now. We need the snacks and some cups anyway."
They pull into the Walmart parking lot and Gwen gets out stepping on the truck's running boards to reach Lena in the car seat. Blake comes around to their side of the truck and sees Gwen.
"Sunshine let me get her! You're gonna fall." He says jogging up to Gwen grabbing her by the waist.
"Got her." Gwen says standing up with Lena in her arms.
"Stubborn." Blake retorts as he helps them on to the ground.
They head into Walmart to pick out snacks and such. They let Lena pick out which cups she wanted. Gwen heart aches because Lena had no clue who was Minnie Mouse is or who the Disney princesses are. You could tell no one had spent any time with her. She didn't know her colors and even some objects such as cup or snacks she didn't know what they were called. Gwen vowed that for the first few weeks they have Lena she wasn't working. They are gonna spend time with her, teach her, and love her the way she should have been the first two years of her life. They got her some blankets, stuffed animals, toys, pjs, and a few outfits to last her until Gwen could order them. When they finally made it home it was time for dinner. Blake spent time cuddling and watching Mickey Mouse with Lena, while Gwen fixed them spaghetti for dinner.
....................................................
After spaghetti and the massive cleanup, Blake took Lena upstairs to change her diaper and put her pjs on. He thinks to himself how amazing his life has become. He finally has a woman beside him who truly loves him and that he would die for. Here they are taking care of a little girl they never expected to have so soon, and yet he wouldn't change a single thing about his current state of life. He carries Lena downstairs to the living room where Gwen is sat on the floor rubbing Betty. Blake hands Lena down to Gwen.
"Hi Lena baby. Did Blake change your diaper?"
Lena shakes her head yes in response to Gwen's question and points to her pjs.
"Did Blake help you put you pjs on too?"
Again Lena shakes her head yes with a big smile on her face.
"Hey baby can you say 'yes'?"
Lena looks at her watching her mouth move but doesn't even try to copy Gwen's words. Blake comes back into the living room handing Lena a fresh cup of whole milk. He hands Gwen a Fiji water while he has a beer for himself. He sits down next to them and Lena crawls into his lap wrapping her arms around his neck while laying her head on his shoulder. Gwen grabs Lena's stacking blocks and they go over the colors with the little princess. Lena watches Gwen and Blake closely but again makes no effort to copy their words. They notice her getting tired so they help teach her how to cleanup her toys before sitting down on the couch to watch cartoons before going to bed. Gwen sits with her back against Blake's side with his arm around her and Lena in her lap. They turn on Disney channel to see that Mickey Mouse is on. They watch Lena's face light up with with recognition from her cuddle time with Blake before dinner. Both Blake and Gwen repeat the names of the characters, in hopes that she would eventually repeat them, only giving up when they can tell she is almost asleep. Gwen gets up carrying Lena up to bed and changing her diaper one more time before they settle in for the night. Meanwhile Blake locks up the house checking all the doors twice. He never locked the doors before when it was just him. He was back off the road in a safe small town he never felt the need, but now with his girls under the roof it wasn't a question of whether or not to lock them. He was going to lock them. He then joins his little family in bed. Lena crawls on top of his chest before quickly passing into dream land.
