Chapter 2: Packing & Old videos

"Mom" I whine rummaging through my closet as I look for my overalls. I looked everyone but I couldn't find them, yet I knew they had to be here somewhere. "Mom!" I shout heading towards my dresser to see if they were there. "Yes?" Maya asks walking in my room with her hands on her hips as she looks at me expectantly.

"Do you know where my overalls are?" I ask making her chuckle. She walks past me and heads to my closet, I watch as she moves around a few outfits before pulling out the overalls I have been looking for. My eyes widen before I furrow my brows in confusion, "But" I start still confused "They weren't there when I looked" I assure her, she rolls her eyes playfully and hands me the outfit. "It's okay sweety, just get ready we have to go" I nod and she walks out of the room leaving me to get ready. I slip the overalls over my baggy black shirt and walk out of my room, finding my parents already ready to go.

"There you are" my dad smiles "Get your bag we have to go" I nod and grab my pink back bag from the dinning room. The plan for today was that I get dropped off at Aunt Riley's so she can help me with my school work whilst my parents moved out Maya's stuff here, so she can officially live with us.

"Be nice to Riley okay?" I nod and give my dad a final hug before skipping up the stairs to Riley's house.

Packing. One of the worst things ever. I despise it so much, yet here I am packing up my bedroom whilst Josh packs the living room. Even though I hate packing I tried cheering myself up with the fact that I'm moving to Josh's, for a while it worked I managed to do half my room but now I was bored and I couldn't be less motivated.

I decide to take a break and see how Josh is doing. I find him shirtless as he carries a stack of boxes towards the front door. "Looking good" I compliment leaning against the door frame as I get an idea. "Thanks" he smirks putting the boxes down before walking his way towards me. "You done?" He questions placing his hands on mine hips and pulling me closer to him. "Almost" I answer hooking my arms around his neck, "I just got a little bored" I admit with a slight smirk as he quirks his brows. "Oh, perhaps I could help you" he suggest making me bite my lip as I gaze at his eyes that suddenly filled with lust.

"Don't do that" he shakes his head, lifting his hand an pulling my bottom lip out of my mouth with his thumb. "It drives me nuts" he admits making me smile. "So" I start taking a step closer to him "How are you going to help me?" I ask my voice lowering down to a whisper. "I was thinking of a board game" he says pulling away from me completely "I found a really good one in your stuff" he adds as I gape at him in disbelief. "Really?" He shakes his head and chuckles "I'm just messing with you" he admit, grabbing my hips and pulling me to him until our chest meet. He leans down and kisses my sweet spot below my ear "I know exactly what you want" he whisper before leaving another kiss making me weak in the knees and my heart flutter.

"Just a quick question, before" he says pulling away slightly to look at me. "It's been weeks since you've been throwing yourself at me, not that I mind, cause you know I enjoy it, but is there a reason for that?" He question making me take a deep breath before answering. "I don't know" I sigh "My hormones have been going nuts, two days again I was crying in the shower for no reason and the day before that I was laughing for no reason" I explain "But everytime I just look at you, I just want you to take advantage of me in every way possible" I admit as a small smirks toys at his lip.

"Well then" he breathes out dropping his hand to my thighs and picking me up in one swift motion before carrying me to my bedroom.

"That's a lot of boxes" I murmur as I walk inside my house. I glance at all the boxes scattered around the entry before turning to face Riley. "She's has a lot of stuff" Riley nods in agreement before we walk further towards the living room where my parents are cuddling whilst watching a movie. A smile pulls at my lips seeing how happy they make each other. Ever since daddy met her, he's always smiling and spending time with us, before, him and I weren't always together. He'd drop me off at dance the entire day and depending on his work, sometimes I stayed with grandma Amy, but now he's with us all the time and I honestly couldn't be happier. Maya was the person who brought us together like a real family.

"I'm home" I shout startling them from their peaceful evening. They both face me and I walk towards them as Riley leans against the living room door frame. "How was your study day?" My dad asks as I stop in front of him. "Good" I smile as he pulls me on his lap, "I'm all caught up" I admit making his eyes widen. "Really?" I nod "Mhm" I hum "Riley helped me a lot" I admit looking towards her with a smile "She's a great teacher" I add.

"Well that great to hear" He says standing up from the couch with me in his arms. "Riles would you like to become Elli's permanent home school teacher?" He asks hopefully. "Sure" she smiles.

~🎭~

"You're going to throw up" I warn as I keep watching my daughter do pirouettes right after eating diner. "No" she breathe out doing one last turn before stopping. "I haven't danced all day" she admits with a frown "And Maya won't let me dance because tomorrow is going to be a tough day" she admit making me glance at Maya who nods is agreement.

"Flexibility and conditioning" she explains simply making me cringe. No doubt my daughter is going to come back home exhausted and broken. "You better go to bed early than" I try but she pouts and shakes her head "It's only 7:30, I still have more than an hour" she says matter of factly crossing her arms over her chest before her eyes suddenly widen "Can we watch my old dance videos?" She asks jumping up and down as she intertwines her fingers together, "Please" she begs, sticking her bottom lip out as she gives me the puppy face. I laugh but nod "Sure, why not".

~🎭~

We're all gathered in the living room, cuddled on the couch with a blanket as we watch Ellianna's old dancing videos.

"Elli, smile at daddy" Josh calls as he tries to get his 3 year old daughter to look at the camera. We continue to watch as she slowly gets older and gets better at dancing. We're half way through the videos when I start biting my lip trying to avoid crying. "I'm going to the bathroom I'll be right back" I excuse myself and quickly rush to the bathroom. I close the door and sit on the toilet finally letting the tears fall as I realise something.

No matter how much I love Elli she isn't mine nor have I been in her life since she was born. I missed out 7 years. I love her so much yet here I am crying in the bathroom because I suddenly want a baby.
