THE BOY NEXT DOOR

TALKING & THANKS

Aimee's POV
"I'm telling you because you deserve to know the truth. And to make it more worse, the girl that Ross was having sex with and the one that threw the party was Courtney. Ross's ex girlfriend" Riker continued.

That's when I completely lost it. I bursted out crying in Riker's shoulder. "I can't believe that little skunk bag!" Rydel says, obviously pissed. Alison started crying and Rydel went up to get her but I stopped her.

"I'll get her" I say, walking over to her playpen. "Are you sure?" She asked, double checking. "Yea!! It'll calm me down!" I say, taking a deep breath and lifted Alison up.

Once I picked her up, I knew exactly what she needed. She needed a diaper change. I laid her on the little changing table that was on the play pen and looked for a diaper. "Crap. The diapers and wipes are in one of the guest rooms!" I say.

"I'll go get some!" Rydel says, running out. "Why are they in the guest room?" Ratliff asked, confused. "That's going to be the her nursery!" I say, and he nods.

"I have an idea!" Rocky says, as Rydel walked in. "That's scary. I don't think we even want to know!" Rydel says, handing me the diapers and I laughed. Rocky ideas are usually....well crazy.

"No. Starting tomorrow, we should fix the nursery up. You know? Paint it and set it up for your parents!" Rocky says and I smiled. "That's actually isn't a bad idea!" Connor says, high fiving Rocky.

"I'm in!" They all say and I smiled nodding as I sit on the bed with Alison as I rocked her back to sleep. "You're so good with kids!" Connor says, and I smiled in reply.

I lay her back in her playpen once she's sound asleep. I sit back on my bed next to Riker. He smiled at me and I give him a gentle smile. "So tomorrow morning I'll run to the store to get the paint and anything else we need" Connor says.

"I'll come!" Ratliff volunteered and I smiled nodding. "Riker, thanks" I say looking at Riker and he looks at me confused.

"For what?" He asked. "For being there for me and telling me the truth" I smiled. "I know I've done something really terrible Aimee and I'll do anything to make you fully trust me again even if it take years. I won't give up!" He says, and I smiled giving him a soft hug.
