The fact that in the time I rinsed the pot and put it the dishwasher he has already ordered pizza while putting the baby in a really cute yellow onesie with little red and blue dinos on it and grabbed a pack of fever bags _which I'll assume is appropriate for babies_ and put some of it in the baby's bottle then feed it to him while rocking him to sleep is very impressive, it was the time I got over my self,
" Hey, I 'm sorry I yelled at you, I just become irrational when it comes to babies, it angered me to see that little angel shivering from cold," I say as I sit on the couch next to him, touching the baby's hair ever so lightly with my fingers, I looked up to see him staring at me deeply observing my very breath, as he tried to match his to mine, inhale, exhale.
I shift my eyes back to the baby still wrapped up in the blanket," still, your friend shouldn't have left the baby like that. It should have been at least with a baby blanket and his clothes," I say bending down to kiss his forehead," well, I can't really blame him either, the mom was supposed to to take care of the baby for today since my friend has a really important meeting for a huge dealership he was meaning to take part in for at least half a year now, she knew and still dumped the poor baby at him and ran to her boyfriend' s car, he couldn't go back home so he came to me since I was on his way, he really loves his kid that is the only reason he's keeping up with the madness of the mom" He says, not sure what to say though, I take the baby from him and start rocking him slowly, I wanted him to have the happiest dreams that I started whispering a peaceful lullaby to him, then I noticed a stitched name on the front of his onesie it reads," Adam" I can't help but smile, then noticed that neither of us has spoke in the last ten minutes so I tried to break the silence with a joke," So what? you're a male nanny then,"
" Why? Do you think less of male nanny? Is a manny not manly enough for you ?..."
He came at me sounding a little defensive __can't believe he got my refrence__
" No, actually I think it's attractive, something about a man who loves kids and knows how to take care of them just seems very hot to me,"
I say calmly before I look in his direction to find a really red Tim _or maybe I imagined_ he coughs trying to ease the flow of the room as he says," you look like you love kids,"
" I do, I want to have some one day,"
" Some? One isn't enough?"
" Well, if I did have a baby in the future, I wouldn't want him or her to be without a sibling, they will be so lonely,"
" I thought siblings don't get along,"
" That's only youth, when they get older they'll have each other, even after I die they will get along, eventually."
" You think so? "
" Yep, actually I want four, four cute babies,"
" FOUR? Why?"
" Why not? You know, what if I wanted a girl and he wanted a boy or the other way around," I saw his brow twitch to the sound of the he before I kept talking," sure I can't choose the sex of the baby, but I 'll do my best to get a boy and a girl, but then I thought to my self what if they get sick of each other, you know, so I was like two girls, two boys, the girls will braid each other's hair, have tea parties and dress up like Disney princesses and the boys could play sports together, or video games maybe even race with the little cars, just to be fair, you know,"
" ...you really love kids,"
" I just realized I'm talking to much, am I not? they are just these little cute creatures...."
" Who will probably ruin your sleep schedule, mental health, body and may I say, virgina," he said that shamelessly with a plain smile,
" I'm actually scared of that part but I don't need four, It's like a limit,"
" For whom?"
" My future husband, my knight in shining armor, the love of my life,"
" You're definitely a helpless romance girl aren't you?"
" What? Does romance disgust you or something?"
" I'm just saying, life isn't a book or a fantasy novel, stop daydreaming about the unrealistic knight and start thinking about how are you gonna take care of those babies, can you love them equally, because if not they will never be mentally stable ,"
"I thought of a solution,The secret is the age gap between them, I'll have the first and give him or her an insane amount of unconditional love for four years, maybe a twin after, I don't really care if it's two girls or two boys or a boy and a girl, identical or not,I would love them, I'll make the first one fall head over heels for them, maybe the twin will question their sibling being overprotective of them for a while but as soon as I give birth to the cheery on top maybe five years later, they will behave the same as the first one," I said that smiling, feeling a little too proud of my plan,
" Wow, you have a whole thing made out in your head, what will you do if they all turned out to be boys, and your knight in shining armor decides to make a football team?," he asks jokingly,
" Divorce is always an option," I answer seriously," I 'm not a machine, sure I love kids, don't care if all four turned out to be boys or girls, I want four kids, prefer two boys and two girls just to be fair, but that's in an ideal world. I don't want four kids if I'm married to an alcoholic, a drug addict or an abusive man. I'm not delusional, I know this is real life. I might even never have the chance to have kids, I'm just saying, in an ideal world I'll have blue eyes and blonde hair with a terrific name that is pronounced with an accent like Veronica or Isabelle, you know." I raised my head not expecting him to be so close to my face as he mumbles,
" Aisha is the most elegant/fascinating name I have ever heard," he places a small peck on my cheek as he took the baby from me, he chuckled as he looked over his shoulder seeing my face which I'm certain is the tomato shade of red, taking the baby upstairs he throws me a flirtatious wink, the dimples on his cheeks are killing me , I happened to look at the clock which is why I ran out the door with my shoes in my hands, my mom will kill me but I'm not that dumb so I go like the flash to the store to buy my freaking pads, not an excuse but I blame my period's hormones for the words I sputtered that day .
