Forever Yours

Chapter 46

Nathaniel's POV
"Baby, I got it. Get some rest." I groaned as I got out of bed, awoken by my son's cries.

I walked over to the bassinet and picked up Easton. "Sshhh, it's okay." I rocked him and kissed his head gently. "Daddy's here."

He calmed down a little and stared at me. His eyes were like a mirror. "Aren't you just the most beautiful baby ever? Daddy loves you so much."

He spit up a little so I grabbed a rag and cleaned him up. "Let's change your diaper." I carried him to the nursery and laid him on the changing table.

"Knock knock." Uncle Alex whispered, walking into the room. "Look at you, being a good father."

"Hey, Uncle Alex." I responded as I changed Easton. "Angelica needed to sleep." I finished changing him and sat down in the rocking chair with him. "What are you doing up so late?"

"I'm always up late. When you've got a small case of insomnia, you can't help it. Besides, I've been staying up late since I was in high school." He explained to me.

"I just don't wanna wake Uncle John or Phillip."

"You're not going to. I think Phillip started sleeping with earplugs." Uncle Alex chuckled.

Easton's eyes shut slowly as he started to fall asleep. "Angie's been having some serious anxiety lately."

"About Easton?" Uncle Alex asked to which I nodded.

"She's worried she's not gonna be a good enough mom for him and she's worried how we're gonna raise him. I think she's entering the shock phase of him being born." I looked down at my sleeping son. "But I think we're gonna be fine."

"Your parents miss him. Laf says he misses his two babies."

"Two?" I questioned.

"Yeah, you and Easton. You're his only child. You'll always be his baby." Uncle Alex smiled.

"Do you think Angelica would be okay if I left her alone tomorrow and did something with my dad?" I rocked Easton gently.

"She should be okay. Go get some rest, Easton's out." Uncle Alex kissed my head and Easton's. "Night boys."

I said goodnight and left the nursery. I laid Easton down in the crib in Angelica's room before climbing back in bed with her. She wrapped her arms around me, making me smile.

I kissed her head before I pulled the cover over me and fell asleep.

~the next morning~

Angelica groaned as she woke up. I rolled over to see her face. "Morning, beautiful."

"Morning, babe." She pecked me. "What time is it?"

"It's 10." I moved her hair out of her face. "Hey, I'm going to spend today with my dad. I think your dad is gonna help you with Easton. Is that okay?"

"Yeah. Uncle Laffy misses you." She smiled. I got up and handed her Easton, who was lying awake in his crib. "Besides, who wouldn't want to spend a day with this cutie."

I smiled at my girlfriend and son. "I love you guys." I kissed Angelica and kissed Easton's head.

"Have fun. We love you too. See you when you get back." She smiled. I grabbed my wallet and keys and left.

Dad's at work so why not surprise him? Thankfully, the bakery isn't far from Angelica's and I was there in little time.

I smiled walking up to the door. Many people filled the inside and outside area of our shop. Dad got a lot of business cause he's pretty much the best baker in town.
