Page 77 of Return To You

I grin and grab my phone, taking several photos, not willing to miss a single second of it.

As soon as I put my phone away, someone knocks on the door, and my girl’s dancing stops. Her smile fades, and I sigh.

I know she doesn’t want to do this, but she needs it;weneed it to move forward.

Giving her a reassuring smile, I open the door, but before I can say anything, Cameron shoves Barnett out of the way and runs into the room, making a beeline for my girl and son, nearly knocking me over.

Barnett growls and runs after him, pulling him back by his shirt, and getting in front of him. But before he can grab a squealing Diego, who, I might add, looks adorable in his mini rock tank and skinny jeans, Cameron grabs Barnett's foot and yanks it hard, causing him to fall to the floor.

Rose’s eyes widen in shock as Cameron takes a willing Diego from her arms, and I just lean against the door frame, crossing my arms over my chest, and raising an eyebrow at the idiots.

“Dammit, Cameron!” Barn snaps, banging his fist on the floor, “I was the one they asked to watch him, not you!”

Cameron shrugs. “And yet you were the stupid one who told me about today, andIgot to himfirst, so you snooze, you lose!”

Rose bites her bottom lip to stop her laughter as she crosses her arms over her chest, causing her tits to lift, making my cock twitch.

What? I’m a red-blooded man, who has lived without his girl for two years, and she is fucking beautiful, and despite no longer nursing our son, her tits are still huge, and that summer dress does nothing to hide them.

Man, what I’d give to be sucking on them right now….

Shaking my head when Rose clears her throat, I look at her to see a blush rising across her cheeks and chest. I just grin, not bothered that I got caught checking her out. I look at the two idiots arguing over a one-year-old, and ask, “Cam, didn’t you have a meeting with PR over that girl claiming to be pregnant with your kid?”

Barnett sits on the couch with a pout, crossing his arms over his chest, and scowls as Cameron grins.

“There was footage proving we were here when she claimed to have screwed me in Texas at the time of conception. The lawyers are threatening to sue her for fraud, but I didn’t need to be there for it.”

Rose butts in, “I thought you can’t sue someone for that because they could claim they didn’t know?”

Cam grins and admits, “She doesn’t know that, and hopefully, she’ll learn her lesson.”

Rose snorts, and takes Diego from him, making him scowl, but she ignores him, places Diego on his feet, and then says, “Diego, go give Uncle Barn a cuddle.”

I grin as Barnett sits up with a confused frown until Diego takes a few steps, and his frown turns into a smile while Cameron states the obvious: "He’s walking!”

Diego walks straight into Barnett’s arms before my friend stands, and throws him in the air, praising him. Cameron also gets in on it, and I chuckle, walking over to Rose.

I come up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist, pressing my lips to her neck, and gently rubbing my lip ring along her skin. I hear her sigh as she relaxes into me, and I smile.

Since last week, we’ve gone back to the old us, the ones we were in high school, and I fucking love it. She’s still struggling with trust, but she’s trying, and now that I’ve paid moreattention to her and not my fears, I can see everything she’s doing.

Heck, she even stayed at the condo two nights ago, much to the two idiots’ joy.

“We’ve got to get going, Petal,” I rasp against her skin.

She hums, watching our son be loved on by his uncles. I kiss her neck again before gently pressing my body against her to move her forward.

Even though she wants to protest, she doesn’t; she lets me take the lead.

As much as she doesn’t want to see her brother, she knows it is necessary for her own peace of mind.

After prying Rose away from our son, we make it to Katie’s Diner half an hour later.

Natalie gives us some coffee, and that prick Peter keeps his distance, though he keeps looking over, and I swear if he gives her sex eyes again, I’m going to cut them out.

Alejandro and Vanessa were already here when we arrived. They did not look happy with each other, which is sad to see.

According to my mom, Van wants a baby, but Al has said he’s not ready to be a father yet, and he wants to enjoy being an uncle, if Rose ever forgives him.
