OWENS POV
I unlocked the door and nobody was in the living room.
"I'm home," I said.
"I'm in here," Amelia said softly from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and she was sitting at her laptop writing something down.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," I said. She ran her fingers through her hair and she looked like she wanted to cry.
"Hey Mia what's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing," she said as she started crying.
"Amelia," I said softly as I sat down next to her. She leaned into me and I wrapped my arms around her.
"What's wrong?" I said.
"I'm sorry," she said, "you were- you were so excited today, about the possibility of a baby and the test was negative and I'm so relieved and I know you're sad and I feel so guilty Owen."
"Hey, hey it's okay, there's nothing to be upset about I promise. I mean yeah I was excited at the possibility but it would be a lot to have a baby right now, and we don't need to. I love our family Amelia, I love you," I said. She looked up at me and smiled.
"I love you too," she said. I kissed her forehead.
"Does this mean we should go buy condoms," she laughed through her tears.
"Guess so," I chuckled.
"I'm sorry for being so emotional," she chuckled.
"Hey it's okay," I said, "it's because you care."
"Yeah," she shrugged. She sat back up and looked at her computer.
"I was scared that you were mad at me," she said quietly.
"You're an idiot," I joked, "I'm never mad at you."
"You're an idiot," she mimicked.
LOGANS POV
"Why can't I ask today," I said.
"Because mom isn't in a good mood," she said.
"Ugh," I said, "no fair."
"If you wait until tomorrow it will go better," she said.
"What will go better?" Liam said.
"Me driving to go see Avery," I said.
"Oh the chick you banged?" Liam said.
"Liam!" Ava and I both said.
"What I mean you did," he said.
"Did you have sex with Jamie?" I asked.
"No," Liam said.
"You know Ava hasn't done it," I said.
"We all knew that," Liam chuckled.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Ava said.
"What is what supposed to mean?" Olivia said.
"Nothing!" I said.
"Why what?" Olivia said.
"Dude Logan banged that chick from the boat," Liam said.
"Stop saying it like that!" I said.
"Dude really? She's hot," Olivia said.
"She's also mine," I chuckled.
"I have isabel shut up," Olivia said.
"You know I need to find someone I'm feeling left out," Liam said.
"Are we having a family meeting up here?" My dad chuckled.
"No," I said.
"Nope definitely not," Ava said and walked out.
"I just got here," Olivia said.
"And I was leaving," Liam said.
"Alright," My dad chuckled.
OWENS POV
I knocked on Noah's door to say goodnight and he was organizing his bookshelf. His books were all over the floor. He was just like Mia, organized, well, he was probably more organized than her.
"You almost ready for bed?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"How are you organizing them now?" I chuckled.
"Size, so that they slope down," he said, they were previously done by color.
"That's cool," I said, "want help?"
"Sure," he said.
"And how are my boys doing?" I heard Amelia say. We both turned and she smiled.
"Daddy was just going to help me organize my bookshelf," Noah said.
"Again?" She chuckled, "didn't you just organize them by color last week?"
"Yeah," Noah said.
"Okay," Amelia chuckled and kissed my cheek.
"You're almost ready for bed?" Amelia asked.
"Yup," he said. Amelia sat on his bed and watched us finish the rest of his bookshelf. After that he climbed on his bed and snuggled into Amelia.
"Good night Noah," she smiled and kissed his head.
"Good night mommy," Noah said, "good night daddy."
"Good night Noah," I said and tucked him into bed.
"We love you," Amelia smiled. Amelia and I walked out and we went to Riley's room next.
"Hey princess are you almost ready for bed?" I asked.
"I'm not tired!" Riley pouted.
"It's time for bed," Amelia chuckled. Riley jumped out of her bean bag chair and hugged Amelia.
"Did you brush your teeth?" I chuckled.
"Yes," Riley said. Riley climbed into bed and Amelia kissed her head.
"Good night baby," Amelia smiled.
"Good night mommy and daddy," Riley said.
"We love you," I said.
"I love you too," Riley said. Amelia shut her lamp off as we walked out. Amelia went to go walk down the stairs and I grabbed her hand.
"Come to bed with me," I pouted.
"Dude let me eat ice cream," she chuckled.
"Only if I get some," I said.
"Sure," she smiled and we walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and Olivia and Ava were eating pretzels and watching something on Ava's laptop.
"Hey," Amelia said.
"Hi," they said. I wrapped my arms around Amelia waist from behind and kissed her cheek.
-
Amelia and I were watching TV and she was so cute. We were eating ice cream and she had her hair in a messy bun. I leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"How was work today?" I asked.
"Stressful. Very stressful," she said.
"Why?" I frowned.
"Well the whole not pregnant thing kinda stressed me out," she shrugged, "I also had a lot of patients today."
"I'm sorry," I said.
"All the stress from work is probably what delayed my period," she said.
"Yeah, you'll probably get it like tomorrow," I said.
"Dude I got it this after noon why do you think we're eating ice cream," she chuckled.
"Okay fair," I said.
"You're cute," she smiled.
"So are you," I said.
"I love you," she said.
"I love you too," I said.
