Daughter of NASCAR Royalty

12

I wake up the next morning in the guest room at Beau's house with Addie Lynn lying next to me. I stayed up a little late playing with her and just fell asleep so I forgot to put her to sleep.

"Ryan," Presley whispers from the doorway.

"What's up?" I ask sitting up gently.

"I think today is a much-needed girl's day," she replies walking in and sitting next to me.

"I'm down, you and I really need to catch up on stuff," I say with a smile.

"Alright, it'll be me, you, and Addie Lynn all day," she grins.

"Awesome, I can't wait," I say.

"Do you want me to get Addie Lynn ready or are you gonna do that?" she questions.

"I can after I get ready," I respond.

"Alrighty then," she says getting up and walking out.

I quickly get ready while Addie Lynn's still asleep on the bed. Then once I'm done I gently wake her up and take her to her room to get her ready. I put her in the cutest little yellow hoodie with some floral pants and a headband to match the pants, cause it's fall and we're in North Carolina.

"Are y'all ready?" Presley asks from the doorway.

"Yeah I just need to put some shoes on her," I say. I grab the cutest pair of boots and some socks then put them one her and we're ready to go. So I pick her up then go back to my room to grab my phone and wallet before heading out to the car. I buckle her in her seat before getting in the passengers seat and turning on some music.

"Is Concord Mills good with you?" she questions.

"You know it Pres," I grin.

Let's just say we did more shopping than we probably should've. And on top of that I also did some go karting with some old friends that were there. We went shopping partially for ourselves and partially also for Addie Lynn so she's probably the most spoiled little girl now.

"Ryan you really should consider adopting Addie Lynn," Presley says.

"I don't know Pres, if I do it'll be a tough task," I say.

"I know but you just seem like the perfect fit for her. She absolutely adores you and I know how much you adore her as well," she says. "Just think about it, and talk to John Hunter about it."

"You know JH and I aren't a thing," I state.

"I know but you will be one day," she says with a smile.

"If anything I'd have to make sure it's okay with Junior, because I'm living with them," I say.

"Well then go call him," she says shooing me away. So I walk off into the room I slept in and dial my brother's number, he answers right away.

"Hey little sis, what's up?"

"I need to talk to you about something."

"Go for it."

"Okay so I don't know if you know this, but Beau has a daughter and he can't take care of her so he was wondering if I could take her in."

"How old is she?"

"6 months."

"You know it won't be easy raising her especially with you starting up two jobs."

"I know, I wanna do this for Beau and Addie Lynn."

"Okay, don't say I didn't warn you. You can but you're gonna have to get your own place eventually."

"I will, I promise."
