Chapter Thirty-Two: "Weeks Later"

Ethan's POV

"ETHAN BOTTLE ME!" Baby Girl yells. Winter was screaming her lungs out, and so was Wyatt. It was something about their cries that could drive you crazy. If one cried, so did the other, and they did it in perfect sync.

I hadn't been to school in two days. Baby girl was home alone, and I knew for sure that she couldn't handle the twins by herself. Words couldn't explain the happiness that I felt when she told me I was the father. I didn't even know what to say. I just smiled and cried tears of joy.

I bounce  Wyatt up and down. He wouldn't go to sleep. I had already fed him and changed his diaper, but nothing would get him to sleep.

"I thought newborns slept for hours," I say to baby girl as I sit next to her.

"They do. Then they wake up."

I watch as she feeds Winter. She seemed like a natural at the whole parenting thing. Her hair was up in a messy bun, but she still managed to look good. I could tell that she was tired. The twins were kicking her ass. Now I knew how my parents felt.

Winter was beginning to fall asleep. I look down at Wyatt. His eyes were wide open, but he was quiet. I smile at him. He was so tiny, and I was a little scared to hold him at first. I was so afraid that I would crush him. Newborns seemed so fragile.

Baby Girls walks over to the small crib and lays Winter down. I watched how softly she did it. She made sure that she didn't wake back up.

"He doesn't look like he'll be sleeping any time soon," I groan rocking the baby. He was lying on my chest, resisting the urge to fall asleep. Baby Girl holds out her arms for him, softly whisking him away.

She begins to softly sing. I had never heard her sing before, and that was sad. She had such a beautiful voice. It was so calm that I myself wanted to fall asleep too.

She was such a blessing. I wanted her so bad. Even if the kids were mine, she still loved Grayson more. Anybody could see the chemistry between the two.

Wyatt dozes off. I sit in astonishment. How did she get him to sleep like that?

"Baby Girl you're an angel," I sigh as she sits back down beside me. She lays her head on my lap and covers up with a blanket.

"We better sleep before they wake-up," she suggests.

I laugh and look up at the TV. The Notebook was on. I wasn't one for romance movies, but it was pretty interesting.

I stroke her hair. It was soft and silky. I wondered what made it that way.

"You ever get the feeling you're living a lie?" she asks out of nowhere.

I didn't know what to say. I was unsure of what she was talking about, but I didn't bother to ask.

"No. Do You?"

She turna around and looks at me. "Nah, I was just thinking."

She plays with the thread on the ends of the cover. I knew that something was on her mind. I could just feel it.

"How's Grayson?" she asks. "I haven't heard from him in a while. He's avoiding me."

I deeply huff. He wasn't well. He was pretty torn up about everything.
"He's been crying himself to sleep for the last three weeks," I tell her as I check the notifications on my phone.

She takes it out of my hand. "He's been doing what!?

"Crying," I repeat.

"Why?"

I look at her as if she were dumb. We both knew why Grayson was crying.

"Okay, maybe that's self explanatory, but still! I don't want him suffering like this. Why is he crying? He should be happy that he's not tied down with responsibility!"

I didn't want him being sad either, but he was only experiencing a small taste of how I had felt for the past few months.

"I think I should talk to him," Baby Girl concludes. She lays her head back down on my chest.

I slide my hand across her face. She looks at me in confusion.

"Ethan what are you -"

I cut her off with a kiss. I couldn't control myself. I wanted her badly. My heart beat cried out for her. I needed her to love me back.

She moans and mumbles before finally breaking her lips free from mine, pushing me off of her to stand up.

"You can't do things like that Grayson!" she screams quietly. She looks at the twins to make sure they were still asleep, then she focuses her attention back onto me.

I laugh. "Well I must be a good kisser because obviously you forgot my name."

"I meant Ethan, okay? You're Ethan dammit."

She ccontinues to breath heavily. I started smirking as she felt her lips.

"You can't say that you didn't like it."

I walk over and attempt to hold her. She fights back, but I eventually get to wrap my arms around her.

"Don't fight me," I whisper in her ear.

She moves her head to the side. "Ethan I don't want to do this."

"We're not doing anything. I just want to hold you," I say rocking her back and forth with my eyes closed.

"Well I don't want to be held," she growls, unwrapping my arms from around her.

"So you really do love Grayson more than me?"

That catches her attention. She stops walking but doesn't face me.

"Yes. I love him more than you."

Her words felt like a knife in the chest, but I try to down play them.

"What happened to us?" I wonder. "You used to love me more than him. What changed?"

She shrugs. "It's complicated, okay? He stole my heart!"

"And I didn't!?"

"No... You didn't."

A cry rings throughout the room. Baby girl starts to walk over to Winter.

"I've got it," I say picking up the baby. "At least someone'll love me."

She huffs," Don't do that okay, Ethan. I love you more than you think, and one day you'll realize that."

"Well I look forward to that day."
I kiss Winter on the forehead as I rock her. She babbles and lets out a small yawn. It was beyond adorable.

"I'm going to go take a shower," Baby girl announces before leaving. She was upset. I wasn't too happy either. I only wanted her to love me. Was that too much to ask?
