His Son

.14

The next morning, I was up at 4 in the morning to check on Jacob. When I went in he was wide awake and jumping up and down. I lifted him up and then went downstairs and started some breakfast for him. I turned the t.v on quietly for him and then started cooking for all the guys. After an hour and a half everyone started coming down the stairs.

"Good morning," Ryder grumbled and kissed my cheek. His breath smelled minty so I guessed he brushed his teeth before coming down. He opened a cabinet and pulled out some Tylenol and passed it around.

"It smells good," Paul spoke and sat at the table as everyone followed. I smiled and set the plates of bacon, eggs, and pancakes out on the table.

"Go ahead and eat up," I smiled and pulled the high chair over to the table near an empty chair and then went into the living room and got Jacob. I set him down and then ripped up some pieces of the pancake on the table-top. The guys had all started eating so it was pretty quiet.

"Mmmmm," Jacob smiled and everyone laughed. Jacob always did that while eating stuff, it's hilarious.

"It's very delicious, thank you Madelyn," Nathan spoke and I smiled over at him.

"Of course! I love to cook," I handed Jacob his juice as everyone kept on eating.

"You're good at it, that's for sure," Luke spoke and I smiled and thanked him. Jacob finished eating so I lifted him up and took him into the kitchen and washed his hands. The plates started piling in so I cleaned the high chairs table top and then set Jacob back in it to wash the dishes.

"You don't have to do that Maddie," Ryder hugged me from behind and I looked over at him.

"I know, but I really don't mind," he chuckled and just shook his head. He kissed my cheek and sighed.

"We have some work to do for a little bit but we will be back down in an hour," I nodded kept washing the dishes. I turned on some music which Jacob loved to dance too. I finished washing the dishes and dried my hands. I lifted Jacob and danced with him until I heard some laughter. I turned and saw Ryder and all the guys looking at us.

"Don't stop because of us," Ryder chuckled and I rolled my eyes at him as Jacob reached for Ryder. The guys all sat down and smiled.

"He's a really sweet kid," Alec smiled and looked at Jacob. I nodded and put the dishes away. They all started whispering behind me until Ryder coughed.

"My parents are hosting a ball tonight, they usually do it after my birthday-I was wondering if you would come with me?" I turned to him and saw the guys waiting for my answer as well.

"Sure, let me check with Lindsey to see if she'll be home-," Ryder pooped up holding Jacob.

"Actually Luke wants to take Lindsey, um what if Lindsey's parents watch him?" I sighed and pulled out my phone and dialed their number.

"Madelyn sweetheart! How are you? How's our little grand baby? You two should come around soon," I smiled at her mother and giggled.

"I'm good and Jacob is doing great, he actually wants to come spend the night with you! Would that be ok for tonight?" She gasped on the phone.

"AL! JACOB IS HAVING A SLEEPOVER WITH US!" She yelled and I just shook my head. I heard Lindsey's dad cheer and get excited. "When will you bring him over?" I smiled and looked at the time.

"I can bring him over in an hour if you guys want to spend the rest of the day with him," I heard them cheer again making me laugh.

"That would be great! See you soon," we hung up and the guys looked surprised.

"Grand baby?" Ryder questioned and I smiled at him.

"Lindsey's parents treat Jacob as their grandson, they technically are," he nodded as I squatted down to Jacobs height. "Do you want to see papaw and granny?" He perked up and nodded.

"How far away are they?" I smiled at Ryder and chuckled.

"A good 45-minute drive so we should probably go now," he jumped up and nodded. We piled into the car and started heading to the house. Before I could get out, Lindsey's parents ran out trying to get to Jacob.

"Oh look how big he is Al!" I smiled and lifted Jacob out of the car and handed him to Lindsey's mom. Ryder came around the car and Lindsey's parents looked at him shocked.

"Mr. and Mrs.Williams, this is Ryder, he is uh Jacobs dad," Ryder stuck his hand out to Lindsey's dad. He shook it and then turned to me.

"Lindsey talked you into talking to him didn't she?" He chuckled and I nodded. He turned back to Ryder and smiled. "Just because she's not my flesh and blood doesn't mean she's not my daughter and Jacob isn't my grandson. I trust you will make the right decision son," Ryder nodded quickly and Lindsey's mom smiled.

"It's nice to meet you Ryder," Ryder looked slightly shocked and then shook her hand.

"Lets go inside," we all went in and sat on the couch. Jacob played in front of us as we talked until Ryder and I had to leave. We pulled up to the house and then rushed inside.

"There's a little gift in my room," Ryder pecked my cheek gently and smiled. "Come down when you're done," I nodded and went to his room. I saw the box on his bed and then pulled the lid off. I saw the stunning dress and gasped at the color and sparkle. I quickly threw it on and felt like a princess. I did a little spin and smiled. I did my hair and then put on a little makeup. I went down the stairs to see Ryder and all the guys in black tuxedos waiting. They all turned to me as I went down the stairs. Ryders mouth fell open making me blush and giggle. This will be one fun night.
