The Trap

Chapter 58

During the following weeks, Simon and Paula got closer to Robbie. They couldn't wait to tell the kids about him. They wanted to make sure Robbie would be a good fit for their family before telling the kids about him. Things were happening with their current kids too.

Dylan was now crushing on Sydney around his family and all agreed that it was cute that he liked someone who was too old for him. Holly loved all the attention she was receiving, while Rochelle got jealous because of it. And as for Lily she became Holly's nurse as a way to get her mind off her issue with not getting heard. Lily didn't mind how needy her sister was because she loved having something to keep her busy. She loved the fact that her big sister needed her help.

One night before going to bed, Simon and Paula were discussing their family and decided together that they wanted to be parents to more children. But they weren't sure on the number yet.

Just then the phone that sat on the nightstand rang. Paula answered the phone since it was on her side and listened to what the person on the other end was telling her. Simon tired to ask her who she was talking to but she placed her index finger on his lips to try to make him quiet until she was done. A few minutes later, she hung up and placed the phone back in the holder.

"Who was that, love?"

"That was Terri. She was telling me about an appointment that she scheduled for tomorrow with an adoption lawyer. She wants us to come along because we're going to adopt her son."

"You said yes, didn't you?"

"Simon I couldn't say no," she could see that he wasn't happy. So she came up with a solution. "Okay fine I can help her with the legal part if you want to watch our son."

"I'd love too! So what time tomorrow?"

"Um two."

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm writing myself a note to call Sydney in the morning. Hopefully she can watch the kids while we're gone."

"Okay, but please hurry up."

"Why?"

"Well if you want me not to be a arse tomorrow, I need my sleep."

"Okay fine let me do one more thing."

Before she could say another word, her lips were attached to his. Then she turned off the light, on the nightstand before cuddling with him.

On the other side of the bed, Simon, was too excited to sleep. He couldn't wait to play with his son the next day. He grinned at the fact that one day that sweet little boy would be their son. Simon laid in bed thinking about their future life with the little boy and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't wait to make it a reality. Simon saw himself teaching him how to play soccer, hitting a baseball and teaching him how to be a man just like he's planning to do with Dylan. Simon let his mind wonder for an hour thinking abut all this.

When his eyes were getting heavy, he turned his head to face the alarm clock and saw that it was a quarter after two. In less than twelve hours he would be playing with the little boy. He smiled as he turned towards the woman who is the keeper of his heart. It felt like he just went to sleep when he felt thumping on his bed. He opened his eyes to see of his kids, for now, jumping on the bed. None of them saw their father open his eyes, so he pretended to still be asleep.

"What do we do now?" Rochelle asked in a low voice.

"Remember the last time we did this? We need to jump by his head," Holly said whispering, taking her place as second command right behind Dylan. She was the leader when it came to plans though.
