What Now *SEQUEL TO A SUMMER WITH HAYES*

«chapter eleven»

*two weeks later*

Today is the day that Bailey and I move into Hayes's house. Sammie decided to stay in the same place because she didn't want to move anywhere else.

I packed my stuff, along with Bailey's, into the car. When I got to Hayes's house he helped me unpack our things. The house was beautiful on the inside and out.

"Momma hurry up."

"I'm coming baby." I had just finished unloading the car. I walked inside and found a room that Hayes's stuff wasn't in. I set mine and Bailey's things down and I helped her put up some of her clothes in the drawer.

I heard a knock and I turned around to see Hayes. I give him a smile and he walks in.

"Hey."

"Hey. What's up?"

"I kinda forgot to tell you about something."

"Okayyy, what is it?"

"My friend, best friend, Tez is going to be living here with us too." I tilt my head in confusion.

"Are you asking me like it's my decision?" He nodded and I shook my head smiling.

"Hayes, it's not up to me."

"Well, I don't want you to be uncomfortable in anyway, or Bailey. So it kind of is your decision...just a little."

"Well if I have to then yes that's fine." I giggle.

"Good." Bailey came running towards Hayes and jumped in his arms. As I watched Hayes and Bailey talk, I thought about how perfect this exact moment was. I've always loved the idea of a family and now I have it.

"Hello, earth to Brittany." I snapped out of it when I saw Hayes waving his hand in my face.

"I'm sorry what?"

"While you were spaced out, I asked you if it was okay if Bailey and I went out for ice cream."

I've never let Bailey go anywhere alone with Hayes. It will be good parenting experience though.

"Yeah that'll be fine." I smile at him.

"Okay. I'll get her ready then."

"Um I think I'll do that."

"I was hoping you'd say that."

I got her this blue and white striped romper and white sandals. I left her hair down and we met Hayes.

"You ready to go?" He asked Bailey.

"Uh huh!" She said and they walked out hand and hand.

Hayes's pov

I took Brittany's car because it already had the car seat in it and I didn't know how to put it in my car. We got out and she held my hand. We walked over to the ice cream place that was in the park.

"What can I help you with sir?"

"Can I get chocolate in a cup and what do you want baby?"

"Umm, That one." She pointed to the chocolate chip cookie dough and we sat down and ate our ice cream.

"Dad, can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Did momma forgive you?" My thoughts turned back to that kiss we shared and my stomach was doing backflips just thinking about it.

"Yes she did." She gave me a big smile. She climbed on the table and sat down in front of me. She put her finger in her ice cream and put it on my nose. I tried to lick it off and it made her laugh. I grabbed a napkin and wiped it off.
