Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Brendon’s POV
By the time we get home we bought enough stuff for three kids. But hey, we’re getting the money back anyway.
We bought at least fifteen plush animals, three children books, a car seat for kids, lots of clothes, toy cars and a carpet with a city on it, a bigger controllable toy car and lots of puzzles.
“I’ll drive by the police office after work tomorrow to get the money.” I say when we walk into the apartment.
Sam starts to struggle in Ryan’s grip and Ryan sets him down.
“I want my puppy!” Sam says and looks up at me.
I laugh and set the bags down to search through one of them till I find the plush dog. I hand it to Sam and the boy makes a happy noise and cuddles the plush animal. The thing is almost the same size as Sam himself.
“I’m hungry. Let’s order pizza.” Ryan sighs.
“We can’t order fast food when a child is going to eat with us.”
Ryan pouts and crouches down in front of Sam.
“Do you like pizza?”
“Pizza!” Sam cheers and Ryan looks up at me triumphantly.
I sigh and fold my arms.
“Fine. I’ll order pizza.”
“Pizza!” Ryan and Sam yell simultaneously.
I roll my eyes but smile nonetheless. This is going to be awesome after all.

After we ate something we sat in front of the TV and tried to find something that Sam could watch as well.
No such luck.
Sam falls asleep while we are still looking for something to watch and so we just decide to go to bed already. I pick him up and walk along the hall to get him into bed. He gets the guest room while he is here. I lay him down on the large mattress and spread the covers over his small body.
When I turn around, Ryan is standing in the door, watching me.
“What?” I ask quietly.
He just smiles that small smile I love so much and motions for me to leave the room. I step out into the hall and close the door behind me.
“You’re good with kids.” He says.
“You’re not so bad either.” I say and lean forward to lean my forehead against his.
He giggles and takes my hand.
“Come on, I’m tired.”
I nod and follow him into the bedroom. I close the door behind us and when I turn around, Ryan is already lying under the covers. I smile and walk over to my side of the mattress.
He looks up at me and lifts the covers for me to crawl in next to him. When I lay down he sighs contently and buries his face in my shirt.
“I love you. We’ll manage this together.” I whisper and he nods and mumbles a ‘Love you too’ into my chest.
I smile and press a kiss to his hair before I drift off to sleep.

Something woke me but I don’t know what it is. I take a deep breath and turn onto my side which causes Ryan to fall off me. He groans and snuggles close again.
I’m just about to drift off again when I hear a noise. It kind of sounds like a sob.
I look up and narrow my eyes in an attempt to see something in the dark.
The door is cracked open and there’s a small shadow holding the light back from shining inside.
“Sam?” I ask and sit up in bed. “Why are you awake? What’s wrong?”
At first there’s just more sobbing but then the boy speaks.
“I had a nightmare.”
“Oh, do you want me to get you into bed again?”
He shakes his head and sobs again.
“C-can I sleep in your bed?” Sam asks.
“Uhm- ”
I stop and think about something to say. When something hits my arm I flinch and look next to me. Ryan is looking up at me with a tired expression.
“Don’t be a dick.” He mumbles and closes his eyes again.
I stare at him for a second longer and turn to look at Sam again. I nod and the boy toddles over to jump onto the bed. He crawls over me and gets under the covers. I just sit there and watch as the small boy cuddles up to Ryan.
Ryan reaches out to pat the boy’s head and after that his hand stays there.
At first I’m a bit jealous because I’m not the kid’s cuddle buddy, but then I decide that cuddling is more the motherly thing to do and Ryan is totally the woman in this.
Maybe Ryan was right. Maybe I want something like this.
I try to prevent those thoughts from getting to me and just smile at the scene in front of me.
I don’t know how long I sit there and just look at them but it has to be quite a while. When I finally lie down again Ryan raises his free hand towards me and I take it with both of mine.
After that I drift off again rather quickly.
