《A Pinch of Cinnamon》The Future Part 2
Advertisement
~~~Spencer's POV~~~
He wants to move in with us? Isn't this to soon? I mean, if I am honest with myself, I really do hate it when he leaves. My heart clenches painfully as I watch him drive away. I become sad almost to the point of crying even though I know it is ridiculous. I have difficulty sleeping and I wake up even earlier when I do manage to fall asleep. I always notice how Jay is too. He throws major tantrums. Nick usually tries to leave once he is asleep. But there's been a few times that Jayden woke up an hour later and was so disappointed to see Nick gone.
So maybe this would be a good thing. It might be fast, but it feels like I've known him forever. Like we have always been together. So maybe it isn't fast for us. Plus, I can't deny the burning need inside me to let that man do whatever he wants to my body. I get hot constantly just thinking about all we have done. We never took that final step, but I can't say I haven't thought about it frequently. Obviously, being injured now will put a damper on things.
Fucking bull.
Jayden would love having him there constantly. I can't believe he called Nick daddy. The kid is smarter than people give him credit for. He's never really asked me about fathers or why he doesn't have one. I just assumed he didn't really know what they were. He doesn't go to childcare yet and hasn't gone to preschool, so he doesn't see other parents or their relationships with their kids.
This just shows how truly comfortable Jayden was with Nick. My heart swells just watching them interact together. Especially when Nick and Jay cuddle on the couch.

It still surprises me, although it shouldn't, when Nick does something without me even mentioning it. Like cooking lunch for Jay. Or putting him down for his nap. He's even taught him things he would start learning in preschool.
It was shocking to me, after everything with my ex and how little he cared, when Nick just assumed the role without question from the day they met.
It just goes to show that it's never right to compare people to each other. That never ends well.
When Nick first met Jay, my heart was in my throat. I could already feel this connection and instant attraction to him, but if he and a Jayden hadn't gotten along then it would never have happened.
Jayden will always be the most important person in my life.
I overheard Richard and Judy talking one day, about how utterly amazing it was that we found each other. That our connection was something from a storybook. They knew Nick had always wanted to be a father and now he was getting that chance. They joked that they wished they had met me first to introduce us before that "skank" had gotten her claws into him.
It breaks my heart that Nick went through all that. To not only have your wife cheat on you but be pregnant and abort it. Even if that child hadn't been Nick's, I know he would have raised it with love. I know one of the things Nick has been holding on to is, what if that was his child.
He is heartbroken and unfortunately, his question can never be answered.
I hope I never meet that woman. I will not be very friendly.
"Baby?" Nick's concerned voice snaps me back to reality. I blink rapidly. He's looking at me with hesitation and nervousness. It's then that I realize I never gave him an answer.

I stroke his cheek, softly smiling. "We would love having you with us."
His brilliant smile lights up the whole room. His shoulders sag in relief and he is quick to mold his lips to mine, moving feverishly. His tongue slides through my parted lips to brush lightly against mine. He lets out a groan.
God this man is addicting.
He slows his pace down before pulling back. Laying small gentle pecks against my lips. A deep, content sigh leaves him, blowing against my face.
"Thank god. I'm not sure what I would have done if you said no." He murmurs softly. I giggle.
"How could I ever have said no. You make mine and Jayden's life so much better. He hates it when you leave.... almost more than me." I smirk.
"Oh, so you don't care when I leave?" He teases.
"I never said that. His reactions are just worse than mine." I laugh, picturing how I'd look screaming and crying and pounding my fists against something, all just for him to come back.
"Well, I'm glad to know you like me a bit." He chuckles.
I shake my head. "I don't like you." He raises an eyebrow. I reach up to pull his lips back to mine, mumbling against them before kissing him softly.
"I love you."
A/N
Okay guys. This was a SUPER short chapter but I'm struggling to make it entertaining. It might be wrapping up in the next 10(ish) chapters. Help me out. I've been debating if I should be that cliche story that has the ex come back into the picture. It would be Nick's ex (let's face it, she's desperate for money)
So, vote!
Yes! We need a tiny bit more drama!
No! Don't be that cliché story! Drama free is good!
