Ruin my life (Gustav åhr)

forty two

"Not it." I said to Gus as the baby cried through the baby monitor. Gus sighed heavily as i threw my pillow over my head. He climbed out of bed slowly.
I got comfy, until i heard Gus on the baby monitor,
"You're so beautiful, peepers, im going to try and convince your momma to agree to name you peep." I rolled my eyes, crazy, i walked out of bed and watched Gus as he held the baby, giving him a milk bottle, i smiled lightly, he looked up at me,
"I thought you were going back to sleep.."
"I was, but...i heard you, we're not naming him peep Gus." I chuckled, walking closer to them, i put my hand out touching our baby. I looked up at Gus, he smiled widely at me, "He looks like a peep right?"
"No! Peep isn't a name Cmon.." I chuckled,
"Uhh, im lil peep.." He gave me an offended look, i chuckled, "Right, a stage name, but you're Gustav...what if he's Gus jr?" I bit my lip, Gus thought for a moment, "I feel like its tacky to live with your dads name, plus, then his whole life he's going to feel like he lives under me." Gus told me,
"No, he's going to feel blessed to be named after the best man in the world, and if you ever pass, he's going to feel closer to you by having your name. He's going to be a literal mini you.."
"Or he'll be reminded of my death every time someone says his name." We argued. I sighed,
"Fine, ill think about peep. But im telling you, it's not the nicest name." I chuckled,
"Can you imagine like, Peep, go do your homework.
You're grounded Peep, i love you peep." I told him and he sighed, "You're right...we won't give him an easily bullied name." Gus laughed, placing our baby back into the crib, we leaned over and watched as he slept, Gus' arm wrapped around my waist.

Gus kissed my head as we stared at the life in front of us, I couldn't believe how far we had come.
"What about Milo?" I said, Gus chuckled, "What is he a dog?" I rolled my eyes, "jeez sorry."
"Lets call him Ace." Gus said, i looked at him,
"Ace?" I repeated and he nodded,
"He completed us. He, is the ace of the family..he's the first, the best."
"I like it Gus." I smiled, "We agreed on a name?"
"We did."
"So Ace huh..?" Gus leaned down as he held Ace's cheek, brushing it softly. "Ace." I said.
