Lillian chuckled at the old 90’s comedy movie, not even realizing Zane had fallen asleep. Her arm had fallen asleep though since the dang baby was getting so fat and starting to look like one of those cabbage patch dolls.

She turned to Ryan, slapping his leg, “Wasn’t that just funny? Now I remember why this is my favorite movie—you’re not even watching it,” she said when she realized this whole time Ryan wasn’t watching the movie but playing on his phone.

Ryan set the phone down on his chest, “I’ve seen this movie a million times Lil, I’m kind of bored.”

“Well what else do you want to watch?” she asked as she got up from the bed and placed Zane in the crib and turned back to him, “There is nothing else on TV.”

He sat up and held his hand out to her. She smiled and sat down on his lap, “I have an idea,” he said, kissing her and she giggled. She brought her hands up to his neck as they kissed. It was slow, sweet, and innocent. She felt butterflies in her stomach.

Soon Ryan kissed her hard and slid his tongue into her mouth. They didn’t make out so often so much now and it felt like as if they were kissing all over from the start again. She still blushed and giggled.

Soon he moved his mouth down to her chin and moved down to her neck. She woke up from the daze she was in and pushed him back, but he just moved back to her neck, kissing and sucking on it, “Ryan, stop. Zane’s right there!” she whisper hissed at him.

“He’s asleep and even if he was awak, he wouldn’t understand any of it,” he said, biting softly on her neck making her jerk and she hated the feeling she felt.

“Your parents could come home any second!” she told him.

He scoffed, “They won’t be home until one, its fine, Lillian,” he said, tugging her shirt up and she giggled, but stopped his hands.

“Wait, Ryan, I feel funny about Zane being right there still,” she said, finally able to pull him away from her neck. She was willing to have sex with Ryan, she was on the Depo-Provera since she was in no way of a hurry to have another baby, but having her son right there where he could wake up and see it, she doesn’t care if he didn’t understand, she felt weird about it.

He groaned and tossed her off him. He went over to Zane’s crib and grabbed one of his extra blankets, covering the rail where Zane was hidden behind the blanket and he turned on the radio next to Zane’s crib on and played the soft lullaby music.

He turned back around with a stiff smile, “Happy?” he asked before getting back on the bed and grabbed her feet, sliding her down onto her back and she uncontrollably giggled again. He went back in-between her legs and started kissing her neck, pulling her shirt up.

“Your bad,” she told him and he chuckled. “Don’t be loud, please,” she said, not wanting Zane to wake up and have to hear them or start crying, making them stop.

“Yeah, me be quiet,” he said sarcastically and she ignored him. “Seven months is far too long for me.”

Lillian had a smile on her face as she answered down the Bio question on a work piece of paper and she was wide awake. She had to admit, she was happy. She thought she and Ryan weren’t having a little trouble in the romance part of their relationship but she felt better about it all. She felt so loved by him last night, something she hasn’t felt since school started since they were always either busy or felt like one of those married couples who been married for a long time and ignore each other.

And Zane did not wake up at all, until he got hungry later in the night of course, but he slept just like a happy baby as he did every night.

When class was over, she was actually the first person to turn in her work to Mr. Deck and he was actually kind of surprised when he took it from her but didn’t say anything and let her go free.

While she was leaving the classroom, Duncan came up next to her.
“Someone doesn’t seem brighter then the sun.”, he said and she laughed. “What got you in a good mood?”

She shrugged, “I can’t be in a good mood for no reason why?”, she asked.

He shrugged also, “I guess so.”.

“And oh, I passed the third of many of Mr Deck’s test, so thank you.”, she said. “Maybe getting a tutor was a good idea.”

“’Maybe’ you think?”, he sarcastically asked, raising an eyebrows up at he looked down at her and she chuckled, rolling her eyes.

“Okay, it was a good idea. I just felt a little offended in the beginning because well, I was the smart one in the grade last yet. A big hurt on my—“

“Ego?”, he asked.

She scuffed, “I don’t have an ego.”, she said as they walked into their math class. “But still, it kind of hurt. Now that you came along and everyone just loves you.”

“Oh, so you were just jealous.”, he said and she scuffed up at him again.

She sat down at the desk, “I was and am not jealous.”, she said, lying right there thought. She was jealous of him. Thought sophomore year wasn’t her best, every teacher in the grade and some of the other levels loved her cause she was ‘bright and smart’, but that seem to all change once they figured out Miss Responsible and Goodie To Shoes got pregnant.

“Right.”, he said, not believing her at all. “So what do you plan to do while on Christmas Break?”

“Spend time with the families and oh, late minute Christmas shopping for Zane.”, she said. “I just have no idea what to get him, I mean, he’s a baby and what do babies exactly want? It’s not like he could do much with crayons unless put the in his mouth and he has way to many toy. And he has all the cloths in the world until he’s like two, so what could a baby want for Christmas cause there is much and—you must not really even care.”, she said when she realized she babbling to him when he doesn’t even care. It’s not his problem, why should he care?

“No, no, it’s okay.”, he said. “I’m sure that’s all true, finding stuff for a baby Christmas must be hard—I think.”, he said. “Look, I’m sure he wouldn’t even care if he just got a stuff bear or something. He wont understand Christmas until he’s like four—and I’m just guessing that cause that’s the earliest I can remember my Christmas’s.”, he said, chuckling and she joined him, knowing he was right.

Zane laughed hard when he fell on his side and Lillian quickly caught him, trying to help him learn how to sit up on his own but he just check doubling over and falling on his side, which seems to be amusing.

“Uh-oh!”, Lillian said and placed him in a sitting position and took her hands away. He went side to side in the beginning, sitting for more then five second before he slumped on his side, laughing and trying to push himself up.

“Okay, enough practice.”, Meredith said as she walked downstairs, her hair in rollers and she had soft makeup on. “Time to get change, we leave in thirty minutes.”

Lillian turned Zane against her changed and waved his arm, “No, Grandma! No! No! No!”, she said in a baby voice and sounded like a boy.

“No sass mister.”, she said and kissed his forehead.

She turned Zane to face her, “Yeah!”.
She got up and went upstairs, changing Zane into a nice outfit since they were going to where Ryan works to eat. It was a nice restaurant, so she changed into a cute shoulder off white top and a pair of black jeans. She just put on some eyeliner and mascara and putting her hair up into a bun.

She put on her shoes and grabbed her purses that had some of her stuff and mostly Zane’s toys, diapers and whips, and bibs. She grabbed her chunky boy and kissed his cheek, fixing his jacket on him and make sure his head was going to be nice and warm in his hat.

She went downstairs where Meredith was now in a nice tan dress and her hair was in pretty curls. Chris who was forced to change into out of his police suit was in a nice button up shirt and dress pants took Zane as she grabbed a bottle from the fridge for him.

“All ready.”, Lillian said and they all packed up in Chris’s car.

~

Lillian tickled under Zane’s chin as they drove to the restaurant, “Ready to see daddy in action at work?”, she asked him and he laughed, his smile making her heart fill bigger and bigger. She loved his smiled and seeing him happy. It was real beautiful.

When they got to the restaurant, Chris grabbed the car seat for Lillian since he was much stronger and could be more careful with the snow around just in case there was ice. She held the door opened for him though when they got to the door.

Lillian saw Ryan right at the front desk, but he wasn’t alone. A pretty brunette girl was next to him and they were laughing. She didn’t find it strange until she saw the girl slap her hand onto his chest and as she laughed, leaned closer to him and Lillian quickly felt jealous.

The girl took her hand away when they came close to the desk and Ryan turned to them, “Right on time.”, he said as he wasn’t flirting with the girl.

“Oh my God Ryan, is that him?”, the girl asked, leaning over the desk to look at Zane who stared back the girl. “Awe, he’s just so much cuter in person! Over-load cuteness right now!”.

Ryan chuckled, “Lillian, this is Hanna.”, he said.

Lillian just gave her a friendly smiled and said, "Hi.".

"Hanna goes to all Saint Cecilia school and we use to go the same Chruch when we younger. She helped me get this job.", Ryan said.

Hanna smiled at her, "Ryan talks about you and Zane a lot.",

“Oh.”, Lillian said and looked at Ryan, raising her eyebrows. “You haven’t mentioned Hanna to me.”.

Ryan stared at her for a moment before he clapped his hands and smiled, “Table for three and half.”, he said as he walked around the desk and softly tapped Zane’s cheek.

When Lillian began to walk away, Hanna called after her, “See ya around, Lillian!”

She turned and gave Hanna a stiff smile, “Yeah, same here!”, she said with fake excitement and turned back around.

When Ryan showed them a table, Lillian dodged the kiss he was coming in towards her cheek and she sat down, picking her menu’s up.

“Okay. Drinks?”, he asked, taking the notepad out.

“Coke.”, Chris said.

“Sprite.”, Meredith said.

“And I’ll have a—“

“Chocolate milkshake.”, he said and she stared up at him surprised. He grinned, “You always ask me to bring one home, why wouldn’t get one here?”.

She pursed her lips, thinking it was sweet of him to remember, then she saw what happened a few moments ago with Hanna and who looked like she was going in for a kiss!

“No, I’ll have a vanilla please.”, she said and his eyebrows came together in confusion since he knew she hated vanilla anything, she was a chocolate lover anyways.

He wrote it down though and said he’ll be right back with their drinks. Lillian looked down at her menu and couldn’t help but sneak glances at Hanna. She hated how jealous she felt towards the girl who she doesn’t even know. She lied when she said she didn’t know her but Lillian only ever seen her around, she doesn’t know her personally.

She doesn’t know if she could be a sweet girl or a boyfriend stealing tramp.

She wanted to groan and roll her eyes, hating feeling like a paranoid freak.
