                                    ~Tessa's POV~

I was packing up my stuff until I heard the door open. "Hey Tessa I was wondering do you want to move in with me and Mary Margret" I turn at her in shock " why would you do that" I ask. "I see that you want to be there for Cass just like I did with Henry, I just want to help you" she smiled. I start to think to myself what if this is my chance to get Cass out. "How many rooms do you got" I ask "three, you, Mary Margret, and me". " ok" I say " really"  she asks and I nod my head in assurance " thank you Emma I really appreciate this" I say as I walk over to give her a hand shake" " no problem" she says.

I grab my key and we both leave the room and walk down to the diner. I put my bag down beside of my chair and sit on the stool " granny" I holler instead of granny I see ruby come out " she's kinda busy right now what can I do for you" she leans on the counter. I handed her the key to my room. "Granny told me to  give that to her after I packed my stuff up" I smiled at her and she smiled back and she goes back in the kitchen. I find myself staring at her ass by accident, but you have to admit that's one nice ass.

" um Tessa" I look behind me and see my beautiful and amazing child. I start to blush " yeah kid?" I ask " I'm bored" she says " ok what do you wanna do" I ask she looks at me and thinks " I wanna go to the arcade" she exclaims. I chuckled " ok kid let's get some hot chocolates and go" I say and turn around to get Ruby's attention " Rubyyyyy" I holler she comes out of the kitchen " yeah Tess" she asks with the cute nickname. " I smile " can I get two hot chocolates with cinnamon, and I don't know your number maybe" I smile at her. She blushes a thousand shades rips off a piece of paper from her note pad and writes down something then hands me the paper and leaves to get the hot chocolates.

I look at the paper and smile with her number on it and a heart. She comes back out with to hot chocolates in a to-go cups. She hands me one and smiles and hands Cass one and they do a hand shake " bye kid, bye Tess call me" she smiles and we leave.

We get in the car and I start to drive to the arcade  " so you and ruby" she says and I blush " I don't know what your talking about" I say still red. " yeah ok whatever" she says smiling soon enough we arrive at the arcade I get some quarters and we start to play random games. We play hockey first and she ends up beating me I really don't know how. I'm usually amazing at this game.

Soon enough we arrive back at the dinner to see that Mary Margret, Emma, and Henry still sitting in the same place as the tine we left. I see Emma look up and come up to me. Grab your stuff Mary Margret will you take you back to her place. She says and I nod.                       

I walk up to the counter and sit down on the stool. " hey ruby sorry I didn't text you earlier I was hanging out with my kid" I say smiling at her " it's cool I figured that was what you were doing I'm glad she finally has her true mom back in her life, I use to always let her sleepover at my place when she didn't wanna go home". She said smiling and looking down, I had complete love for this women she cares about Cass my kid as if she were her own. I look at her with love and she finally looked back up " what" she said nervously " thank you, for looking after her".

"It was no problem I love her she's a good kid" I nod and she wipes a tear from my face and I smile at her. I hear Emma clear her throat and I sit up a little bit straight. " um anyway I got to go I will text you" she nods and smiles and we all leave. " um I'll see you guys later I have to take Henry home" I nod and me Mary Margaret and Cass walk to my car " um Mary Margaret can Cass stay with me tonight" I ask her in a low whisper so Cass can't hear " of course, Tessa it's your choice you live with us to now" " thanks".

We all arrived at Mary Margaret and Emma's. I took my stuff in and Mary Margaret showed me my room and Emma soon came back so we all sat in the living room with Cass completely passed out with her head on my chest. "So Tessa what's up you and ruby" I looked at them shocked " nothing" I say quickly.

"Theres something, the thing is I didn't know ruby liked girls" " me either" Mary Margaret said. I remembered to text ruby so I pull out my phone and the paper and type in her number making her a contact and her name Ruby😍💕💞💝😘.

Me: Hey this is Tessa
Ruby: oh hey I was wondering when you were gonna text me
Me: yeah well now I am even tho it's a little hard with Cass laying on me dead asleep 😂
Ruby: oh yeah she's not much of a night owl. 🤣

Me: definitely if it means I get to see you 😍😘😉😏
Ruby: well see you then goodnight
Me: goodnight beautiful❤️

" I'm going to bed goodnight guys" I say getting up with Cass in my arms " goodnight" they said at the same time . I slowly walked upstairs and laid Cass down then I laid down and she snuggled up to me. Everything is how it should be................. for now.
