The Next Day

Dove's POV

That night was pretty rough. Ashton woke up every 2 hours wanting to be fed or changed. I feel better today, but still quite sore. Ryan decided to just go ahead and wake up at 7am because there were things he needed to get done. I however wasn't aloud to leave bed. I'm holding sleeping Ashton in my arms while I watch Stranger Things on my laptop. That's when I hear Ryan's phone ring. He must've left it upstairs.

"Ry!" I call because the phone is on the beside table on his side and I can't reach it.

I groan when he doesn't come and reach over causing me to wince as I try not to stretch my stomach too much. I grab the phone and answer it without looking at who's calling I answer.

"Hello?" I ask into the phone.

"Chloe!" I hear Ryan's dad say surprised and happy to hear it's me.

"Hey." I say a bit confused as to why he's calling Ryan so early and why he's happy that I picked up.

"How are you?" He asks me and I look down at Ashton.

"We're good." I reply and I hear footsteps and look over to see Ryan in the doorway.

"Are you guys busy next week?" He asks. I look over at Ryan who is leaning against the door frame. He raises his eyebrows at me.

"Uh no why?" I respond.

"Would you be interested in going to dinner?" He asks.

"Sure. That sounds fun." I reply still quite skeptical, but everyone deserves a second chance right? Maybe he's changed.

"Perfect. We can talk later about exact dates." He says and I hear him sigh in relief.

"Ok bye Mr. McCartan." I say and look over to see Ryan's eyes go wide as I hang up the phone.

"What did he want?" Ryan asks with a harsh tone.

"Asked if we could go to dinner next week." I tell him.

"You said no right?" Ryan asks.

"No. I told him sure. You need to give him another chance Ryan. He's your dad and Ashton's grandfather." I explain.

"No. I don't want anything to do with my parents." He says walking over and picking up his phone from beside me.

"Ryan." I say.

"Chloe." He responds.

"I want Ashton to have a grandpa." I say.

"He will. Zach." Ryan says and sits on the end of the bed on his phone.

"No Ryan. One that he's related to. One that will be his grandpa no matter what happens." I reply and try not to tear up. If Zach and Mom break up Ashton won't have a grandpa. I wish my dad was still here. He would be an amazing grandfather.

I felt a few tears run down my cheek and look down at Ashton. Then I feel Ryan's thumb wipe away my tears.

"It's ok baby. I'm sorry." He whispers. I look up at him and he gives me a sympathetic smile.

"What do you want for breakfast?" He asks.

"I'm not hungry." I tell him.

"Chloe you need to eat." He replies.

I sigh and say "Anything is fine." He nods, kisses my forehead and walks out of the room.
