Addison Waters
March 16th
8:35am

"Push one more time.."

"Push.."

"She's coming!"

I sighed in relief, as the cries of our beautiful creation filled the chaotic delivery room.

I cried, as I saw her tiny figure. Ethan smiled, before he did the honours of cutting the umbilical cord.

They went to go clean the baby off, and the both of us just held onto each other, tightly. He kissed me on the
forehead, and whispered,

"Addison."

"Addison.."

"Addy?!"

I gasped, quickly sitting up in bed, I was frazzled and began to open my tired eyes a bit more, seeing Grayson.

"G-gray?" I questioned, rubbing my eyes out of confusion.

"Yeah, are you alright? It sounded like you were crying in your sleep.."

I quickly nodded with my eyes shut,
"It was just a dream," I stated, removing the covers from my body and getting out of bed.

"A good one, I hope?" He reluctantly laughed,
"Yes, also very surreal.."

"Well..what was it about? If you don't mind me asking," he asked, leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom while I turned the tap on, about to wash my face.

"I...uh, I had a dream Ethan and I had a baby,"

"Oh.." he lightly smiled,
"Did you see the baby?"

I nodded, smiling as I did so,
"She was beautiful.."

He sighed,
"Well, it may be a sign."

"What do you mean?"

"You know, you and E have been doing some much more serious things, maybe that's the universes' way of telling you that the next thing will be a kid," he stated, and I had to admit..he had a point.

"I feel like it wouldn't be anytime soon though," I chuckled, shutting off the bathroom light and brushing past him, walking downstairs.

"Why not?"

Once we'd reached the bottom, I turned around to face him,
"I don't know..I just feel like I have so much more to do before we get into anything that serious, of course I want to have kids with him, but I don't see it happening now or even in a few years, maybe in my late twenties?"

He nodded,
"I see your point, hopefully I won't still be single and lonely by that time, now that would be sad."

I chuckled,
"Gray, you definitely won't be. And who knows, maybe you'll even get married and have kids before we do,"

He shrugged,
"There's no way."

I playfully rolled my eyes,
"Anyway, have any plans for today?" I asked, taking out some yogurt from the fridge.

"Well it is a Saturday, I should have something planned, but sadly I don't."

I nodded,
"You could come candle shopping with me?"

He chuckled,
"As tempting as that sounds, I think I'd rather just stay home and play fortnite."

"Oh god, ever since Ethan asked you to level him up in the letter, you've been more addicted than him."

"Hey, that's not true! I made sure to stop at two in the morning the latest last night," he pointed.

"Oh wow, a one hour difference." I sarcastically replied.

"Whatever," he mumbled.

"And hey, I thought you were done decorating the living room, why are you going candle shopping?"

I eyed him,
"Candles aren't just a decoration, Gray. Besides, they're very important for a new house, I've spent the last month trying to find the perfect scent,"

"A month?"

"Yes, a month. It has to resemble the both of us,"

"I'm sure Ethan won't care if you get the first candle you see off the shelf."

I chuckled,
"Trust me, he will. W probably more picky than I am. Which..is making this take so long, since he's not here to help me decide,"

"I can't believe we just had a full conversation about candles."
