Sighing I laid down and laid Cory next to me. It's so nice when he decides to start crying for no reason at stupid hours. I've changed him and given him some warm milk, I gave him a snack, I've cuddled him, I've checked his temperature, I've rubbed his tummy in case he had a tummy ache, his just fussing.
Picking up my phone I answered Riker's call and laughed as he screamed "where is the off switch? Do you know how to make them stop?" He asked "my mom and dad aren't home and my siblings are staying at their friends and his not sleeping."
"My moms working tonight, Cory's wide awake they can play till they fall asleep." I laughed hanging up, picking Cory up I laughed getting off of my bed and walked downstairs. "You and Dalton can have some play time, yeah, you wanna play with your new little friend?"
I opened the front door and laughed as Riker shook his head "I can fall asleep in 5 seconds why is it taking me 5 hours?" He asked "his bedtime is 7pm, he hasn't gone to sleep yet."
"This ones been up for two hours constantly crying, you take mine I take yours." I said making him shrug as we swapped, sighing with relief hearing the sound of silence "Wow is this what silence feels like?"
I laughed moving out of the door way and let him in, locking the front door behind him. "You want a drink? Food? A shot of vodka? A kick in the face?"
"I think I'll pass on the kick in the face but any cold drink would be fine thanks and his my hair." Riker laughed pulling Cory's hand away. Young children have a death grip, they can yank your hair out, I have baby hairs at the back and once Cory gets a hold of them, I know what real pain feels like.
"I fed you, I changed you, I checked your temperature, I did everything and all you wanted was him?" I asked handing Riker a bottle of coke as I sat down, Cory looked at me and laughed "yeah I'm talking to you."
"Oh his uh his trying to pull your shirt down." Riker laughed reaching over and pulled Dalton's hand away "at least take me to dinner first, you're just cheeky aren't you, yes you are." I said kissing his cheek making him laugh.
"Is he allowed on the floor?" Riker asked trying to keep Cory still, I laughed and nodded "yeah or we could go upstairs and they play with his toys, we could watch a movie.."
"If I fall asleep it's on you and I mean I will probably fall asleep on you because I am so used to having him in my bed." Riker laughed standing up.
I can't believe it. As soon as Riker held Cory he stopped crying, Cory hasn't had that much experience with boys, my dad has never met him, his own dad isn't exactly father of the year, it's always been my mom, and Callie and me, we're the main people in his life, my mom looks after him while I'm at school and then when I come home she goes to work, my mom is an amazing woman, she's my superhero.
"Do you want to watch a Disney movie or a more our age movie?" I asked closing my door, Riker sat down on my floor and laughed playing with Cory "you have monsters inc?"
I laughed and nodded, putting the dvd into my tv. Grabbing some more of Cory's toys I put them down on the floor and laid down on my bed, turning off my bedroom light but leaving on my night light and space light.
I have two lights, I have a night light because even though I'm 17 years old I am still scared of the dark plus with having Cory it's just easier seeing everything without being blinded. My space light is one I've had for years, it has all of the different stars and normally just before Cory falls asleep I'll turn off my light, close my curtains and we'll have a cuddle on my bed while looking up at the ceiling watching all of the stars shift.
Riker sighed picking up Dalton and tried shushing him, keeping my eyes fixed on the tv, I tapped Riker on the shoulder and held my arms out, lifting Dalton up, I laid down resting my head on the pillow and pulled Dalton close to me.
"Someone's jealous." Riker whispered, I looked at Cory and smiled as he tried pulling himself, Riker lifted his waist and helped him crawl on to my bed "You can lie down and try getting some sleep if you want."
He nodded and stood up, grabbing both of the boys I moved over as Riker laid down laughing he grabbed hold of Cory before he fell off the bed and put him in between the two of us next to Dalton "he really likes you, he only has the look in his eyes when his really focused or interested in something." Riker whispered.
"He likes you, you're the only guy his ever been around." I whispered.
"For real?"
I sighed nodding "my dad left before he was born and Jack thinks his name is Collin, all he knows is me, my mom and Callie, I think it's sorta cute how he wouldn't be quiet and then you just show up and it's like oh new person, his never normally climbing all over people."
Riker laughed holding his arm out, blocking him from going further down the bed "His already falling asleep."
Looking down at Dalton I smiled stroking his cheek "Cory, here buddy." I said handing him his bottle, he came and laid down next to Dalton, leaning towards Riker he started to drink his juice.
About half an hour later I laughed as Riker nearly fell off the bed, shaking my head he stroked my arm getting my attention, taking the bottle out of his hand I put it down on the floor and looked at him again as he stroked my arm, leaning forward I smiled, closing my eyes, the electricity and fireworks shooting through my system as the kiss intensified "what about these two?" I whispered.
