Family in Progress

Play date

Samantha's POV

We pull into the parking lot in front of the huge park. Surprisingly it's not very busy with kids everywhere, it must be the cold autumn weather. Micah and I don't mind it at all though. Louis and I unbuckle ourselves and he retrieves Micah from the back seat and plops him onto his shoulders.

"Erica said they should be here shortly, they were getting lunch when I called." We sit on a bench close to where the swing set is and Micah runs off to play.

Just as he runs off I see a familiar car pull up next to mine and see that it's Niall and Erica. Louis chases after Micah, leaving me on the bench by myself.

"Heyy," I greet them both and Erica sits down next to me while Niall carries their daughter Ariella to the swings.

"So where is he?" She asks.

"Him and Micah ran off somewhere." I point in the distance where Micah ran off with Louis. "There they are, he's going down the slide."

"Ooh, he's tall. And hot." She adds.

I playfully hit her shoulder and we both laugh. I do have to admit, Louis is super attractive. In high school all the girls really liked him.

"How did he find out?"

"Long story. But basically Dr. Mallow spilled the beans. Someone called Louis from his office and that's how he initially found out. I was planning on telling him, I just wasn't sure how." I shrug my shoulders and she gives me a hug.

"Well let's hope he'll get his shit together and be a good dad for Micah." I nod and look up to see Louis and Micah walking back along side Niall and Ariella.

"Louis this is my friend Erica. Erica this is Louis." They shake hands and I see him and Niall already did introductions with each other.

Micah and Ariella run off together, hand in hand and head for the big slide and the monkey bars. The four of us take a seat at a nearby table so we can all talk.

"So Louis, what do you do for a living?" Niall asks politely.

"Oh uhm, I'm the manager at Morises. I actually work in the same division as Samantha, that's how we ran into each other."

"You guys knew each other before?" Louis just nods his head.

"We used to date in high school," I tell Niall. "That's when I got pregnant."

Well that was a conversation stopper. Niall coughs a little before politely speaking up, breaking the silence.

"How about we go check on the kids?" He asks Erica and I both. I just nod my head, knowing they probably want to leave Louis and I alone for a few minutes. They both get up and start walking to the playground where Micah and Ariella are playing together.

"I'm sorry." He looks down at his feet, and I can't really tell what he's thinking

"There's no need to be sorry Sam, you need to stop apologizing so much. I was the one who left, when you needed me the most. I can understand, now, why you would want to keep something like that away from me. I'm not saying it was right, but I do understand-" I run my fingers through his beautiful brown hair and pull his lips close to mine.

"I love you. I don't want to worry about the past anymore, all we have is right now. And right now all I want is your lips pressed against mine."

His hands find their way into my hair and he crashes his lips with mine. I turn around to see Niall asks Erica standing with the kids and they're all clapping their hands as if they knew this was bound to happen. Louis wraps his fingers around my own and kisses the top of my head as we walk towards the playground.

Blehhh, I've been getting so lazy with my writing and I'm so so sorry guys. I hope this was decent, I'll read over in a bit and fix any errors. I love you guys so much for your support in this story. Stay beautiful (:
