Co-parenting

{ Author's Note }

Holy F-balls! I seriously want to thank everyone for reading this, I honestly thought no one was going to this means so much. I'm sorry I'm taking so long to update. One of my best friends passed away in a car accident recently so I've been taking a break but I'm posting a couple chapters today to make up for the absence. Hope you guys enjoy!

*Muse's POV*

"I'm going to go get another phone." I said getting up from the couch. "Muse wait." Vic said following me. "Yes?" I said turning to face him. "I'm coming with you. We need to talk." Vic said quietly. Him and I do need to talk but everything is just to much for me. "Okay." I said quietly. Vic grabbed his truck keys and began the drive to his phone company. "How did you afford all of this?" Vic asked glancing at me. "The money my parents set aside from me. I found a way to get it." I said looking at him. "I still have the money you guys gave me, I want you to have it back." I mumbled pulling out all the money and handing it to him. "Muse I want you to keep it. For Xavier." Vic said looking down at all the money. There was probably 2 grand left. "Oh." I said softly. His brown eyes still as soft as when we first met. "How long?" I asked looking at Vic. "A year and half." Vic said not looking at me. "I see." I said looking down. We arrived and I picked out my phone and paid for it. "Do your thing." I said handing Vic my phone so he could put in all their numbers. The ride back to Vic's house was silent. You could cut the tension with a knife. I looked up at the sky and saw the stars and smiled. "Thanks for the ride, come over to my apartment sometime." I said and Vic nodded. "Okay." He said giving me a small side smile. We walked in and Xavier ran to me and clinged onto me for dear life. "I was only gone for like an hour." I said crouching down to his height. "Give me a kiss." I said puckering my lips. "Mmmmmwa!" Xavier said after he kissed me. "It's time for bed." I said quietly with a smile. Xavier nodded and ran to Mike to give him a hug goodbye. "Why don't you just stay here?" Mike asked picking up Xavier. "Oh uhm." I said looking at Xavier who was smiling. I'm not one to keep him from happiness. "Okay. Vic can you take me to my house? I need to get Xavier's things." I said quietly and Mike stood up. "Why are you asking Vic?" He asked with attitude. "Mike." Tony interrupted. "I'll be back." I said waving at Xavier. I grabbed Vic's keys and arm and dragged him out the door. "Muuuse." Vic whined. "Sorry." I mumbled getting in the car handing him the keys. "No need to apologize. I forgot how strong you are. Where's your apartment?" Vic asked and I gave him directions. "This is adorable." Vic said walking in the apartment behind me. I had photos of Xavier all over the house doing Xavier things as I call it. I did have a couple photos of the boys though from photo booths so I had those scattered on the walls as well. I packed a bag for Xavier and a bag for me. I grabbed a couple toys for him and some extra pull ups to keep at Mike's since I want him to be able to sleep there without me eventually. "Got everything?" Vic asked and I nodded. "Can you grab his car seat though?" I asked and he smiled picking it up. "Okay." I said quietly shutting the door behind us and locking it. "Vic?" I asked quietly. "Yeah?" He asked taking the bags from me and putting them in his truck. "Why didn't you try to find me?" I asked looking down. "We did but Mike gave up. I have no idea why either." Vic said giving me a hug. "Oh and Vic?" I said again. "Yes?" He smiled opening the car door for me. "Thank you for everything." I said quietly. "Muse don't do that." Vic said looking away. "Don't do what?" I asked walking closer to him. "That look. I can't resist that look." Vic said looking at me. His eyes beginning to fill with lust. The way the words fell from his soft lips made my heart rate race. Before I knew it we were both leaning in until Vic's phone started ringing. "Oh sorry." Vic said pulling away scurrying to his side of the car. What the hell just happened? I got in the car and shut my door. The ride back was dead silent, the sexual tension in this car was unbelievable. We grabbed everything and walked back into Vic's house. "You're room is still here you know." Vic finally said quietly. "Seriously?" I asked and he nodded. That meant I still had things here. I thought Vic would have gotten rid of them or Mike destroy them. "Bubba time to get ready for bed." I said quietly crouching down so he climbed on my back. I took him to my old room. "This is my old room here." I said setting him and all our things down. We brushed our teeth and I helped him get ready for bed. "Brought your favorite pjs." I smiled pulling out Harry Potter pjs. I had Gryffindor pants that I was wearing and a black tank top. "Goodnight kisses?" I asked and he nodded. I picked him up and put him on my hip and we began walking down the stairs. "Goodnight kisses." I announced and all the boys crouched down and Erin. One by one Xavier kissed them all goodnight. "Mommy." Xavier said pointing at them. "Okay okay." I said giving everyone goodnight kisses on the cheek. It was especially awkward with Mike but I had to do it for Xavier. "Goodnight guys." I said waving. "Mike just have him in bed before 9 please." I said walking up the stairs. I wasn't tired but I sat down on the bed and looked around. All the pictures were still here, the furniture. The bed looked like it had been slept in though so they must have let people stay in here. I walked into the closet and saw all my clothes, even the clothes that I left on the tour bus. I know that was Vic's doing. There was a soft knock on the door. "Come in." I called out quietly shutting the closet door and sat down on my bed. Vic's figure slowly made his way into my room. "Everything is still here.." I mumbled scooting closer to the edge so he could sit down. "Mike slept in your bed a couple times and so did I." Vic admitted looking down. "That's okay." I said putting my hand on his shoulder. "Can you sleep in here tonight?" I asked looking up at him. "Yeah." Vic said quietly. I leaned over and gave him a hug and I felt the tears coming. I had my best friend back. I just wish it wasn't under these circumstances. There was another knock on the door so I opened it and Mike was standing there holding a sleeping baby. "He passed out." Mike mumbled smiling at him. "He'll do that but still insist he's not tired." I said quietly making Mike laugh. I took Xavier from Mike and his sleeping body clung to me. Mike turned around but stopped. He turned his head to his shoulder and his eyes looked down, "Muse you did a wonderful job of raising him. I'm happy he was able to have a great mom like you." He trailed off before disappearing into his room. I shut my door and let a tear fall out. I kissed Xavier's head and laid him in the bed and tucked him in. Vic climbed in bed on one side and I turned off the light but plugged in a night light. I got in bed and put my arm over Xavier to Vic. "Goodnight Vic." I said quietly. "Goodnight Muse." Vic mumbled crossing our fingers so our hands were locked together. I fell asleep slowly since what Mike said to me was echoing in my mind. Why the sudden change of heart Fuentes?
