You're Not In This Alone

The next morning when I wake up it's to gentle little pats on my face and two sets of giggling. One is a high pitch little giggle I would know anywhere and the other is deeper, more of a chuckle that I am also familiar with. I crack my eyes open just a little to see Sophie sprawled out on my chest, gently hitting at my cheek and poking at my lips while she giggles and Ryan lays beside us watching and laughing with her. I let out a small growl and open my mouth, nibbling at her fingers and she lets out an excited little squeal and another giggle as she pulls her fingers away before putting them back again and I open my eyes fully, wrapping one arm around her back to secure her while the other comes up to rub my eyes. "Good morning beautiful" Ryan greets me softly and I roll my head to look at him and smile, watching him lean in closer and closer until our lips are pressed together in a sweet morning kiss. "Da" Sophie yells out so we break apart and I turn back to look at her, her little eyes fixed on my face. "What was that baby?" I ask before grabbing around her sides and lifting her off my chest, holding her up as I bring her up to my face and I plant soft tickling kisses all over her face while she thrashes around above me and giggles. I plant one last kiss to her lips and she opens her mouth and makes a small noise that kind of resembles a "mwah." I laugh and shake my head at her as I lay her down on my chest again and she snuggles down into me, rubbing her face in my shirt. Ryan's hand reaches over and gently cups my cheek, tilting my head back towards him as he seals his lips to mine again, gently sliding his tongue into my mouth. We kiss for a few seconds before I pull away and he pouts, making me smile at him. "But I want lots of kisses too" he whines and I giggle as I say "I can feel that's not all you want but I'm sorry baby, you'll have to wait til later." He smirks and moves his hips a little, rubbing his more than obvious erection against my leg some more. "But Rubes" he whines and I sigh as I say "If Sophie was still asleep, absolutely." He narrows his eyes as he turns his attention to her, "Damn you, you're lucky you look just like a tiny version of mommy and that I love you to death" he tells her and she stares up at him wide eyed, her mouth slightly open before she responds with "Da da ba ga" and I laugh before saying "She told you."

We head back to the city later that afternoon and when we get back to the apartment the first thing we hear when we walk in the door is loud music and Sophie immediately starts squirming around on my hip, waving her arms around and I laugh at her attempt to dance, a massive smile on her face. "What is she doing?" Ryan asks and I smile at him and say "Brendon taught her to dance" and he stares at me in disbelief before bursting out into laughter too. "Ok that has to be the dumbest but cutest thing ever." I drop the bag I was carrying with my other hand and slide her around against my chest, dancing around with her and she lets out a little squeal and keeps squirming against me as I make my way to the living room where Brendon is playing his Xbox and listening to the music. I walk up behind the couch and hold Sophie out over his head, lowering her down into his lap and he jumps as she comes into view before turning his head to look at me. "Hey you startled me, I was in the zone" he tells me as he pauses his game and drops the controller, taking Sophie from me. "Can we turn it down a little?" I ask, feeling a slight headache coming on. "Sure" he tells me, grabbing the remote and turning the volume down so the music is just background noise. "Thanks Bren." I turn and leave the room, leaving him with Sophie who is babbling away to him and I head out to the hallway to help Ryan with the bags but he's not there and they're all gone. I walk down to the bedroom to see them all in there and he's sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey I would have helped with those" I tell him but he just smiles at me and says "It's alright, I didn't mind." I collapse onto the bed beside him and he lays down and turns to face me. "How are you feeling Mrs Ross?" I let out a small yawn before saying "I'm ok. I'm a little tired but I'll be ok." "Are you sure?" I nod, "Yeah I'll be fine, I'd love to have a hot bath though." Ryan nods and leans down to kiss me before saying "Your wish, my command." He gets up and leaves the room, coming back a few minutes later and scoops me off the bed, carrying me to the bathroom where he is running me a big hot bubble bath and I turn my head to press a soft kiss to his cheek. "Thanks baby." "No problem, anything for you" he tells me as he sits me down and closes the door. I stand waiting for the tub to fill and Ryan comes over and wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me against his chest and leaning in to seal his lips to mine. I kiss back, melting into his touch and his hands soon start to wander my body. "Ry" I groan out as his lips trail down my neck and he pulls back to stare into my eyes, his pupils blown already. "What my love?" "We can't.....Sophie." "Brendon is looking after her while we take a bath" Ryan tells me, smirking slightly and I smile back and lean in to seal our lips together again. Ryan's hands keep trailing all over my body, coming around to work on the buttons of my shirt, slowly opening it before pushing it off my shoulders as he trails soft kisses across them as the skin becomes visible, working his way back in by trailing his tongue across my collarbones and I shiver at the feeling and my hands trail down to work on his belt.
