So I'm finally updating this. I'm soo sorry. Third month into college, and it's not looking so hot. I'm still getting into things. I'm moving next month to Florida for campus so it's pretty scary and stressful itself. Sadly I'm no longer working because of conflicts. But hopefully I get a new one soon.

There isn't much going on in this chapter. Lyle and Sean are back so that's something. Oh you might find a bit more about James at the end.

Other news. I get 11 reviews which I'm happy for. I'm actually in love with this story! I was on hiatus but not anymore. But that doesn't mean that I will update every day or every week. I'll try to but I can't promise that. It wasn't that I had gotten Writers Block or anything, but life gets in the way and I was re-writting this a ton of times.

Please check out Break The Ice& Anywhere But Hereby Science-Fantasy93 She is an amazing writer! :)

Chapter 3- Raincheck, Sleepovers, More Info

The rest of the week, my mom and I really didn't talk about what happened on Wednesday. She still didn't tell me happy birthday but in all reality, I'm not bother by it anymore. Tyler finally came around and told me yesterday, you know a day late, but at least he told me it. And he told me that he wouldn't remind my mom either and that he was horribly sorry for everything that has been going on.

"Hey, do you want to stay at mine?" Lyle asked as we sat on his and Sean's cars eating grapes.

"Sure." I beamed

"Look at what the wind dragged in." I heard Sean's voice behind me.

"Do I even want to look?" I asked about to turn around.

"It's not a clown this time, promise." Lyle said nodding his head behind me.

The last time Sean had said that sentence, it was indeed a clown and I literally fainted at the site of the thing. I'm deathly terrified of them and spiders. I'm fine with just about anything else in the world.

Slowly turning my head, I saw it was James and Quintin.

"Hey baby." James greeted

"Hey hunny." I greeted back.

"Rain check." Both boys said behind me

"For sure." I mumbled and wrapped my arms around James and the baby.

Stepping back, I grabbed Quintin from James and we started to walk away from Lyle's car that I was just sitting on.

"Rain check?" James questioned

"Lyle wanted me to stay the night, but then you showed up and they said rain check." I answered

James and I had been talking since that day we met, and we've been flirting and acting all couplely but I'm not sure if we are or not. Neither of us had asked the other out. Though I want to, but last night after hanging out, he was flirting with some girl in the Diner. He swears he wasn't, and I believe him. I mean I didn't even accuse him of doing it, so for him to reassure me over nothing gets me to thinking what would happen if we were together.

"Wanna stay at mine tonight?" he asked

"Sure" I smiled at him

We walked to his car, me carrying Quintin. As we walked, we talked about our day, what Quintin learned to do or did and what the game plan was tonight. Once we got to his car, I put the baby in his car seat, buckled him, shut the door and then went to get in myself.

James started the car and we were hit with a blast of hot air. Turning it down a few notches, he pulled out of the parking space and made our way to his house in Blainder. A cute little town South of Eager Lake.

"Do you like spaghetti?" James asked

"I do," I answered looking at him

"Would you like to have that tonight?" Curiosity was evident in his voice as he turned onto his road.

"Love to." I pleased him

As soon as we got into the car, I got Quintin and my book bag and made my way behind James. Snow was starting to fall pretty hard and it was only October. I guess it can't always be sunny.

"That was pretty unexpected," James commented

"It was. You know, Tyler said that it was a very low chance of it happening in October and when it did hit the first couple of times that it hits hard." I added

"Yeah. So don't be surprised if there is a blizzard tonight." He cackled

Rolling my eyes, I put my bag down and went into the living room. His house was extremely cold once you really walked in.

"Do you mind changing him into a long sleeve onsie?" He asked pointing to his son.

"Not a problem." I answered

Walking down the hall, I saw a door that said "Quintin's Room" and then proceeded to change him out of the cool short-sleeved outfit he was wearing and into blue-footed pajamas. What it was the only long sleeved out. I'm assuming that was the one he wanted his son in.

Once he was zipped, I walked back to the living room and saw that James was turning the heat on to make this place toasty.

"Won't your mom worry?"

"Nope. I said I was staying at Lyle's so that is where she thinks I am." I laughed

"You can put him down, he's learning to pick himself up and trying to crawl." He motion to the baby in my arms.

Nodding, I put the baby down on the carpet and looked around. His living room walls where a nice Mocha color instead of the typical whites you see, he had white plush carpet on the ground. In one corner was where the baby toys and what not was. There was a flat screen TV hanging on the wall in front of me. Looking behind me, there was a nice plush black couch and a nice brown looking Laz-y Boi next to it.

"Lovely home."

"Dinner should be ready in about 20 minutes."

Nodding my head, I pulled out my latest English homework and started doing what was assigned. I kept peeking up to seeing what Quintin was up to and then going back to my book. Sighing out of boredom of this book, I got up and went to look down the hallway again and into the rooms as well.

The hallway continued the mocha theme on the walls and the plush white carpet. On the right of hallway where pictures of what seemed to be of his family and newborn/week old picture of Quintin, and a lovely redhead with said boy. Assuming that was the girl who gave up Quintin, I smiled weakly to myself and then opened the first door.

Behind the first door, was a bathroom? It was clearly for Quintin as it had an under the sea theme going through out the whole room. Closing it back up, I went into the next room. It was Quintin's room. His room was cute. It had a black ceiling with glow in the dark stars, the white carpet, and his walls were a deep brown to keep the vibe going and keeping it warm. In the corner, there was a crib that had CARS bedding. Next to it there was a changing table and a dresser opposite of that. Then there was a closet where all the rest of Quintin's clothes belonged.

Walking back out, I turned around and went back to the living room. Assuming the last room was James' and he didn't want anyone to go in there. I mean who am I to pry into privacy like that.

"Dinner is done." James said walking into the living room and picking up his son.

Following him into the kitchen, I saw that there was hardwood floors, a table right when you walked in, then there were the actual kitchen itself. The mocha theme walls must have been the color scheme through out the house, or the previous owner picked it and James didn't see the point of changing it.

There was a small table, enough to fit two; I'm sure more if needed. Next to the head of the table was a high chair where Quintin now resided in. I sat next to it and James sat at the head.

"It smells nice." I commented

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Wouldn't figure you to be the type to cook but that is a good thing that you can. I don't think I could live off of fast food the rest my life." I giggled

"Dig in." Was all James had to say?

Between bites, He and I took turns feeding Quintin. Seriously it feels like a family right now. That Quintin is my son, James is my husband, and I just went to school because of me graduating in December.

Once dinner was done, I helped cleaned up and helped gave Quintin a bath. We both put him to bed and then went to bed ourselves.

"What do you normally do on your own?" I asked

"Well my sister, AnnaBeth, would come over. We'd spend time together, I'd help her with her grade school work and she'd help me with Quintin. She's over here often actually."

"Well she seems like a lovely little sister."

"She is. I just feel bad for her, yano?"

'I'll bite."

"My dad left when she was born, I'm all she has for a father figure, and our mom is always away on busy trips. So Anna usually spends her time between our Grandmothers and I's place. She's 6 years old. She shouldn't have to deal with that. She should only have to worry about scrapped knees, what she wants Santa to bring her and knowing her mom and dad are always going to be there for her."

"You know, I went through that same thing and turned out fine. I mean I understand where you are coming from. Have you or your Grandma done anything about that?"

"We have. It's just that Grandmother is in her late 60s early 70s so she's not best suited. And because I have a 6 month old, the court/judge thinks that I wouldn't be able to take care of her properly. Plus they want me to be married and more stable before I can try to adopt Anna or anything like that."

We laid in silence for quite sometime. I was taking everything in, and I knew or at least had a feeling that James was holding something else back. Before I could even say anything, I felt James wrap his arm around me, scoot me closer to him. Before long, I heard his breathing even out.

Lying there for a few more minutes, I slid away from James and stripped out of my bra and jeans and then went to take care of business in the bathroom. Once I returned, I slid back into bed and let sleep consume me.

I just thought we'd spend the night talking getting to know each other and then going sleep. Instead I was thinking about something that I don't know if it's the right thing to be thinking of. Whatever happens now, I just hope that Anna has a better life then she is currently having….

And with that last thought, I finally slipped into dreamland.

So that happened. I know it took me forever to post this, but I hope you still read it! I'm not gonna lie, I'm going to go hide cause of how things went. Tell me what you think please?! You'd make me happy.
