Happy Accident 2

Chapter 14

The Next Morning...

Ryan's POV

I can't help, but think about why Chloe wants me to get back in contact with my mom and visit my sister. Maybe its to tell them about the pregnancy? That wouldn't make sense though. Unless my mom keeps up on my social media, she has no idea that Grace exists. Speaking of I hear her scream and Chloe walk quickly out of the room with Grace on her hip.

"Hey, no lifting. What happened?" I ask as I take Grace from Chloe and bounce her on my hip.

"Ashton hit her because she took his toy, not hard, but she didn't like it." Chloe explains and goes back into our room where they were playing. I sigh and Grace puts her head on my shoulder, sniffling softly.

"Let Daddy see." I tell her and she sits up and shows me her arm. It's not red or anything, but she's only two so.

"Kiss it." She whines making me chuckle and I kiss her arm.

"Better?" I ask and she nods her head. I hear Ashton start crying from our room and Chloe walks out.

"He's in time out." She tells me and I nod. "Do you want to help me make lunch?" She asks me.

"Chloe, sit down. I'll do it." I insist.

"I got it Ry." She replies and walks into the kitchen.

"Chlo." I argue and sit Grace down on the couch.

"Daddy play!" She whines.

"I'll be there in a second Grace." I tell her and walk into the kitchen. Chloe gets out bread and cheese and sets them on the counter. I wrap my arms around her waist and sigh against her neck making her shiver and her breathing get heavy as I peck her neck.

"Ryan." She warns.

"What?" I question hiding my smirk. "Come sit down for a minute." I add.

"Too many things need to be done." She argues.

"I can do it."

"No I need to get used to you being gone. You have work again soon."

"Yes but until then I will give you all my help." She turns around and looks at me with a smirk that matches mine.

"I don't need help in the kitchen, but you can help me with some other things." She whispers. I'm not sure if that was meant to be sexual or not but it sure was to me. I peck her lips.

"Tonight." I say.

"Tonight." She repeats and I go back over to play with Grace. I'm never going to win with her. She's so stubborn but it's ok because I love it.

"Also Ry, Ashton gets out of time out in 3 minutes." She tells me from the kitchen. I nod my head and play with Grace.

That night...

We just finished putting the kids to bed and I close the door behind us to our room.

"Why did you suddenly want me to get back in touch with my mom?" I blurt out.

"I want you to be happy Ryan." She tells me and walks into the bathroom.

"Are you sure that's what this is about?" I ask. This just doesn't add up.

"What?" She asks and comes back into our room from the attached bathroom.

"It doesn't add up Chloe. I think you're doing this for your happiness because you don't want our kids to only have one set of grandparents." I say firmly. Now it all makes sense.

"Ryan that's not what this is about." She argues and walks over to me.

"Then what's it about Chloe?!" I exclaim a bit more frustrated than I thought I was.

"I want you to be happy because I can't imagine what it would be like not to have parents!" She raises her voice at me.

"I am happy!" I yell.

"I was just trying to help." She responds equally as loud and blinks hard keeping tears from forming in her eyes.

"I don't believe that." I say and walk past her into the bathroom. I close the door and start the water to take a shower. I look at myself in the mirror and splash water on my face. I'm fine, right?
