The Geek's Guide to Parenthood

Playdates in Sunny California

Okay, so here it is. The sequel for A Nerd Story of Love. I don't own any of this. The only thing I do own is the plot to the story and a very cool 'Geekward' mug. I'm planning on keeping the story lighthearted as can be, but there will be angsty moments. I will post warnings in the author's notes at the beginning of the chapters for fair warning.

Thanks for everyone who's faved, reviewed or read my story. I love writing SGB and Nerdella and I'm so happy that you all love them too.

Chapter Twenty: Playdates to Sunny California

"Bellini! I need you!" Rose yelled into the phone. "I don't know if I can do this! My kids won't stop screaming."

"Relax, Rose. I'm on my way," I said as I drove to her condo. Matthew was in the passenger seat as I drove, navigating the streets of downtown Chicago. "Where's Tim?"

"He's at the foundation. Apparently Edward's asstard brother fucked up the building beyond all repair. God, if I find Emmett, he'll be a dead man. He's keeping my man away from his fiancée and his children."

"I'm sorry, Rose. You know that Tim would be with you if all this crap wasn't going down in the foundation," I mumbled.

"I know. It's not your fault, Bellini. Just get here soon. I'm ready to tear my greasy hair out of my head. I need a fucking shower and this leaking business from my tits is pissing me off."

"I'm pulling into the parking garage now, Rose. We'll be up in a bit."

"Which one did you bring? Please tell me Matthew. He does some strange voodoo shit with Lucas that gets him to sleep," Rose sighed.

"I've got Matthew. He does the same voodoo on Kyra," I chuckled. "See you in a bit, chica." I hung up my phone and pulled into guest parking in Rose's condo. Matthew hopped out and did a quick perimeter check while I got Kyra out of the backseat of my car. Soon, I had Kyra's carrier in my hands and looked at Matthew. He gave me a curt nod. We walked toward the elevator. I punched in the security code to access the elevator and waited for it come down. Once it arrived, we loaded up inside and road up to Rose's condo.

Matthew took the carrier from me as I knocked on the door. Rose flung open the door and gave me a look complete joy, holding a screaming baby. "Can you take Ava? I've had to pee for like ever and I didn't want to leave her unattended. Lucas is in the pack and play in the living room."

"Okay," I said as I took my goddaughter from her arms. Rose darted into her bathroom, not bothering to close the door as she whipped down her sweatpants and peeing like a race horse. She moaned quietly. "Jesus, Rose. Having kids has really changed you, chick. This place is a pit and can't you close the door? I don't want to see your rolls."

"Fuck you, Bella," Rose barked. "You have rolls, too."

"I beg to differ, Rosalie. I'm down to my pre-Kyra weight. Even a little less. However, Edward does like the fact that my boobs are bigger, though. I'm now a full C-cup whereas I was just a mid-B," I snickered. "He loves my boobies." Matthew let out a strangled giggle. "Sorry, Matthew. Too much information?"

"It's a combination of that and seeing Miss Rosalie in the bathroom," he said nervously as he scooped Kyra from her carrier and placed her in the bouncy chair. "We all know that you and Mr. Edward have a healthy sex life. Kyra is proof of that. Right, Kyra?"

"Ma!" she squealed, bouncing in the chair.

"And the random articles of clothing that we find in odd places. I was getting a glass from the dishwasher when I found a pair of Mr. Edward's boxer briefs in there a few days ago," Matthew snorted.
