This is the second book of the LOVE series. It could be read as a stand alone however characters from the first book will be in this one, adding more to their story.
This starts at the boxing match the boys are in and goes through the school year...
It's the cutest thing ever, Lillian babbles just like a baby. I can't believe how perfect she is. Hoping that she is out of her little space today, so we can talk and then shop, I head to her temporary nursery. I'm going to get one very similar for her. I'm also going to have to learn about her hair.
Peaking in, I see her still sleeping with the princess paci bobbing in her mouth. Heading downstairs, I try to quickly make an appropriate breakfast. The pancakes don't seem right, but I've only done them once before. I continue, when they are finished, I scramble some eggs. Now is the time that I need to get my baby up.
Once again I go into the room. She's laying there looking all around. Her eyes light up when she sees me. Hands shooting towards me, I rush over to scoop her into my arms. She kisses my cheek through the paci. I laugh, it's endearing. Getting her ready, is borrowing a shirt and changing her diaper.

Carrying her downstairs I place my pancakes in front of her, with some eggs. I put syrup on them and cut the pancakes up. Lillian grabs a section picking it up, dipping it into more syrup then shoving it in her mouth. Her mouth opens, spitting everything back on the plate.
"Lillian, that's a bad girl." I try to make her eat more. Her jaw locks closed.
Aspen carries Azalea down. "Daddy, wook, Uncle Leif ake ancakes." Her hands start clapping. Aspen chuckles, putting a plate together for her. The same thing happens. Aspen picks her up and makes her stand in the corner for spitting her food. He then gets some for himself. He does the same.
"Um, Leif, how much salt did you use?"
"I followed the recipe."
"Uh, I don't think so. Unless you're making a huge amount, like for a party, you would never use a Tbsp of salt in anything." He holds up a Tbsp and tsp. Very different sizes. Walking over to Azalea he starts whispering in her ear. Her head nods, then she walks to me.
"Uncle Leif, me orry me itted me ood out."
Raising my brow I take a bite. Coughing, "T-th-that's okay," I swallow a lot of water, "they're disgusting." She giggles making Lillian laugh. I drink another glass of water and put a bottle together for Lillian, she needs to eat something.
Placing her in my arms, I feed her her bottle. Her eyes are intensely focused on mine. My hand is wrapped around her tiny belly, spread fingers. My thumb is gently rubbing under her breasts. "Leif, stop." I drop the bottle. Caring for her, I've never heard her voice. It was such a shock to me.
"Well, we don't need to talk, I guess. Aspen, can she stay with you two until she has her feet under her?" He nods. I stand, placing Lillian on her feet. "I won't be staying again until Lillian is gone, I won't be able to handle it. Lillian, I'll pack your things, I won't be a jerk like Justin was."
Lillian looks at me confused. As I'm stepping out I hear, "But, what did I do wrong? Who's going to feed me now?" I turn and look at her with sad eyes. She bends picking up the dropped bottle. Carrying it to me, "Aspen has his own little girl to care for. He can't take care of two."
