The events of this chapter take place, just after Rozella & Kezr had Isaiah.

I sighed plopping down on the bed and watched Rozella close her eyes and take a deep breath.

"Its been so long since I have closed my eyes, I forgot that they can even function like that" she touched her close lids and a relaxed expression took over her face.

I turned my body towards her and hugged her.

"Kezr no. Please no. I am literally in no mood. Isaiah took all my energy. First I had to change his diaper so many times, that boy poops so much, it's humanely impossible. Then I had to bid our family goodbye because they were here to meet "their son", then! When I thought I could relax, he started crying. Then! I made him fall asleep, and now! I am finally here to sleep. So please don't ask me. I am not in the mood tonight. I have had enough. If only I knew it was this hard. But no, I don't regret anything. I love Isaiah. Anyways. Don't ask-"

"Rozella, can you please shut the fuck up?" I asked her very kindly to shut her mouth.

She looked at me and rolled her eyes, "Now I can't even talk to you because you're mad at me."

I leaned on the headboard of the bed and looked at her, "Rozella. I was literally just hugging you because I need cuddles right now. I am so tired, I don't think you realize that I did all those work too. I just wanted to hug you and let you know that I am here with you but you just- you ruined my damn mood."

I turned away from her and closed my eyes.

Whenever I hug her it might mean that I want hugs. Not everything is about fucking.

"Baby K?" Her little voice asked me but I gave no reply.

"I know I am sorry. I didn't know. Please look at me baby K. I am sorry. I want cuddles too, love. Please..... Please?"

I didn't turn to her and heard her take a deep breath.

Suddenly, her small hands wrapped around my torso and she pulled herself closer to me.

"My little spoon" she sighed and pressed her face on my side, sighing deeply.

"Cologne monster here it comes!!" She hovered over me and with much difficulty turned me so that I was on my back. She sprawled herself on me and started sniffing my neck making me squirm and laugh.

After 10 years she finally figured out my ticklish spot.

"Hehe. There's that smile. Yea!" She cheered and pecked my nose, eyes, lips and then my forehead.

"Happy?" I asked her and she nodded her head.

I looked down at her body and smirked. She looked like a little kitten on my chest. All sprawled out.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" She slowly started to slide away from my body but I didn't let her and turned our positions, catching her beneath me. She squealed and hid her face in her palm.

I hovered over her and looked into her eyes.

"What?" She peeked in between from her fingers and breathlessly asked me.

I didn't give her time and started peppering her faces with my kisses.

Her giggles and squeals filled the room making me chuckle and tickle her with my kisses more.

"S-stop i-it" She squirmed beneath me but I held her hands above her head making her stay in one place.

"Kezr please no more" she smiled widely at me but her voice dripped tiredness.

I started mushing my face into her neck making her squeal and turn side to side making me chuckle in her neck.

I looked up from her neck and looked directly into her eyes.

She closed her eyes when I leaned in and was just about to kiss her when,

Mr. Isaiah the cockblocker awakens.

"Oh no. He's crying again." Rozella batted her hand on the bed sheets and groaned.

I leaned back and plopped on my side.

"I'll g-" I put a hand on hers and stopped her from getting up.

"I'll go. You rest." She smiled at me and I smiled back.

I slowly opened the nursery room which was now decorated with blue walls and had pictures of new born Isaiah.

I looked into his crib and saw him at the corner wiggling around and wailing.

"Oh no, no. What did I tell you, little mister?" I went up to him and picked him up on my shoulder and sat down on the seat that was placed in the room.

I placed him on my lap and his little feet were on my either side. I held his arms and wiggled them making him stop crying instantly.

"Little sir, you're breaking our rule. What was our rule one?"

"Gah" he took his tongue out and a trail of saliva followed, dripping from his chin to his blue cloud onesie.

I tsked and took a few tissues from the box and wiped his drool.

"Baby boy, you're being utterly naughty today. Disobeying daddy huh?"

He giggled and threw his head back making me smile.

"Okay so, as it's past three and it's your nappy time, daddy will tell you stories and you'll sleep... Hm?"

He wobbled his head from side to side, looking at me with his big doe eyes that he got from me.

I laid him on my shoulder and rubbed his back up and down. He was quick to clutch onto my open braids.

"Your mommy just scolded me because she thought we were about to fuc- Uh- I don't think you need to know that, but just know you are naughty and you tired your mommy alot today. Be a little understanding will you?"

I leaned back and looked at him and saw his eyes closed with his drool on my shoulder.

I rocked him for some more time while telling him stories about Rozella and I.

After about an hour, I felt someone shaking my shoulder.

"Baby K..... Pss!" I opened my eyes and blinked a few times to see Rozella looking at me.

I looked down and saw my little boy clutching to my hoodie, tightly, blabbering incoherent words.

"You have been here for 2 hours... Put him in his crib and come fall asleep in the room." She whispered to me and I nodded and got up from the seat.

I slowly and cautiously put Isaiah back in his crib but he started whining.

He's a really big hugger and just wants hugs all the time.

Smiling, I handed him his bunny stuff toy that was once Rozella's that I won for her back at the amusement park.

He tightly clutched to it and his drool followed after him.

Rozella tapped my shoulder and nodded at the door.

I walked upto the door and looked back at him sucking his thumb and sleeping like a good boy.

"Nah.... You go, I'll stay here."

I turned to her and she shook her head, "What? No. Come there, sleep there."

I looked back at him and shook my head, "No Zella, what if he gets hurt? His crib is a wooden one. What if it has splinters out? They could hurt him."

I looked back at her and saw a small smile on her face. "Baby K, this whole nursery is baby proof, nothing will happen. And besides we do have a baby monitor and motion detector. It'll alarm us, don't worry." she rubbed my arm up and down.

"But Zelli-"

"No buts... Come on" she jumped on me and I held her.

I put her on the bed and got in with her.

"I love you... Sleep tight"

"I love you baby K... Don't let the bed bugs bite"

I smiled at her and she stroked my open hair making me fall asleep instantly.
