Chapter 13

"It all started when i threw up at 6 in the morning... I realized how long it had been since i had my period and with how we had been having... um" she looks at the child between us "S.E.X i had a suspicion that i was pregnant. I didn't take the news too well, i've always had really bad anxiety and just the idea that i could've been pregnant at 17 i panicked. Badly. I remember it felt like i couldn't breathe and i felt like i was dying. When my mother got there i couldn't help but break down." She starts crying again thinking about what happened.

"She was so angry with me. I told her that you loved me and that you wouldn't leave me and our child... but i told her that you were 22" She winces at the memory, "She threatened to call the police!" She sobs.

"I didn't know what to do! She wanted me to get rid of our baby! I had to go away!" She tries to explain to me. The baby gets upset after a while hearing his mother cry and he starts to cry too. Immediately she sobers up and stops her crying taking him from my arms and shushing him saying that she's fine and nothing is wrong. Eventually when he realizes that she's okay he stops crying.

"She told me it was a false positive." I tell her. "When i went to your house she said you went with your dad and that you didn't want to be with me anymore." I explain my side to her.

"I never stopped looking for you... Your grandmother bought plane tickets last week for 3 people, i thought it was for her, your father, and you." I look at the little boy in her arms who is trying to sleep and i smile.

"This is so much better baby." I say leaning forward and kissing both her and him on the forehead.

"My son." I say looking at him. She lets me take him into my arms and looks at us sitting there.

I look back at her and smile.

"I love you too." I tell her. Finally i had been waiting way too long to tell her that. "You ran from me i couldn't say it back last time." I say.

She looks at me with a smile and i can't help but bring her mouth to mine in a searing kiss. After a minute he starts moving around between us making us move apart, he moves and hugs Paisley.

"Noooo mama you only loves me!" He starts crying in her shoulder and i look at her shocked. Paisley immediately starts laughing though, She kisses his head a few times and mumbles that he's right she does love him. He calms down after a minute and pulls away from her to look at me.

I look at him too, he's so fucking cute. He looks just like me, practically identical except for the small nose he got from Paisley.

"Hey buddy..." I say suddenly getting insanely nervous to talk to my own son.

"Floyd do you remember when you asked me why we didn't look alike? And i told you it was because you looked like your daddy?" She tries to explain this as gently as she can. "Well this is your daddy."

Paisley looks up at me when she says that and smiles, Floyd looks at me too.

"DADDY!!" He yells jumping to me and hugging me tightly, i hug him back him with one arm and wrap one around Paisley pulling her so she's resting on one side of my chest and Floyd is on the other. I give Paisley a peck and i kiss Floyd's shoulder since he wont let go of my neck.

I rest my head on Paisley's shoulder and we sit in silence for a moment. I wrap my arm around her tightly and hug her.

"I love you both so much and i am never going to let either if you out of my sight ever again." I vow to her kissing her neck lightly.

"I love you too Mav." Paisley mumbles to me.

"I love you too daddy..." I hear Floyd mumble too.

"Come on Paisley let's go to my house." I softly tell her, "I can make dinner and we can spend more time together... please..." God i hate begging but i need more time.

"Okay..." She says back softly making me sigh in relief. I stand up holding them both to me, Paisley lets out a shriek and Floyd giggles adorably. Paisley doesn't let me hold her she jumps down from my arms she tries to grab Floyd from me but he holds onto me tighter and lets out a loud cry "Noooo daddyyy!"

"Hey woah woah buddy you're okay, you're okay..." I can't help but laugh and pat his back in reassurance, he stops crying when he realizes that Paisley stopped trying to take him from me. "Your mama just wanted some love too buddy." I tell him. He sniffles and mumbles something i can't understand.

When i look at Paisley she is pouting but i can see the smile she is trying to hide. I grin at her and hug to her me and start walking to my car. It's not a far walk until we are at my car and i open the door for her. Floyd fell asleep in my arms on the way here so i hand him to Paisley and she gets in the car and holds him. Shit i'm going to need to get a bunch of baby stuff.

I run to the other side if the car and get in and start to drive to my house. i drive as safely as i can since Floyd isn't in a carseat.

I couldn't help but play Brain Damage by Pink Floyd, it's her favourite song and i'm nearly positive our son's namesake. I don't say anything but i see Paisley look at me from the corner of my eye so i smile still keeping my eyes on the road.

When we pull up to my place i quickly run to the other side and open the door for Paisley and Floyd. As soon as we're facing each other I sweep them up so i'm carrying her bridal style and Floyd is sitting on her lap. I carry them into the house, we both kick off our shoes and i carry her into the kitchen.

"What do you want to eat?" I ask her.

"Hmmm pasta!" She says "Please!" she adds after.

"I'll make aglio e olio" I tell her, "My Nona taught me how to cook when i was young" I don't know why i told her this but i wanted to add it.

"I'm not too good at cooking." She admits, I laugh at how she says it "Don't laugh!" She defends with an adorable pout.

"I'm sorry baby i didn't mean it" I smile and kiss her pout lightly.

she smiles at me and i rub our noses together making her giggle. "Daddyyy!" Floyd cries bringing his hands up trying to reach my face, i chuckle and lean down rubbing our noses together.

"Play with mama when i cook dinner okay?" I tell him starting to cook the pasta for my love.
