Cooper glared at Lina. His trust for her was slim.
Lina withered under his gaze.
Fleur noticed the silent exchange. "Stop," she pleaded with Cooper. "We can trust her."“No. You trust her. I do not. Everyone who comes from that place tends to be manipulative and sketchy.” He didn’t drop his gaze from the girl.
(What did my sweet, innocent, chocolate colored, French intern ever do to you??)
He looked up at her like she was his entire world because she was. Everything in his life revolved around her and he liked it that way. “I love you,”
She smiled brightly. "I love you too."
“I love you three,”
"I love you four."
“No. You trust her. I do not. Everyone who comes from that place tends to be manipulative and sketchy.” He didn’t drop his gaze from the girl.
(What did my sweet, innocent, chocolate colored, French intern ever do to you??)
(You gave her away so her development is no longer in your control. Therefore I get to pick on her.)
He looked up at her like she was his entire world because she was. Everything in his life revolved around her and he liked it that way. “I love you,”
She smiled brightly. "I love you too."
“I love you three,”
"I love you four."
“For what?”

Lina looked away and whispered something.
"No!" Fleur replied quickly.
(I am still her biological mother. Camie is her adoptive one. Therefore I get to protect my precious daughter.)
He looked up at her like she was his entire world because she was. Everything in his life revolved around her and he liked it that way. “I love you,”
She smiled brightly. "I love you too."
“I love you three,”
"I love you four."
“For what?”
"Forever." She kissed his nose with a smile.
“No. You trust her. I do not. Everyone who comes from that place tends to be manipulative and sketchy.” He didn’t drop his gaze from the girl.
(What did my sweet, innocent, chocolate colored, French intern ever do to you??)
(You gave her away so her development is no longer in your control. Therefore I get to pick on her.)
(Okay, so now you have to explain to me why you're picking on a sweet, innocent, chocolate colored, French intern.)
(I am still her biological mother. Camie is her adoptive one. Therefore I get to protect my precious daughter.)
(That’s not how adoption works dear)

(I’m an asshat) 🤷🏻♂️

Before she could pull away completely, he caught her by the cheek and pulled his lips into his.
(I am still her biological mother. Camie is her adoptive one. Therefore I get to protect my precious daughter.)

(IT IS NOW)
He caught her a bit by surprise but she didn't mind. She relaxed slowly and let the ever so familiar feeling wash away the rest of the world.
(Whatever you say)
He smiled. “So I can call you mom now?”
"Even if I say no, you're going to do it anyway so yeah."
Ryan chuckled. “You have a point, Mom,” he laughed even harder.
"Having fun over there, Chuckles?" She raised an eyebrow at him with an amused smile.
“Yeah,” he wheezed. “Oh my gosh why are we allowed to be parents?”
"Because the universe decided to smite me with the endless dad jokes I will hear."
(I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANY LONGER!)
"Because the universe decided to smite me with the endless dad jokes I will hear."
“Don’t you already hear them?” He sighed. “What do mermaids wash Their fins with?”
"Do I even really want to know?"
“Yeah. Tide,”
She groaned dramatically. "Aaaand it's started."
(I tell dad jokes all the time. Delilah said I’m a dad I’m practicing)
“No stopping it now,”
"Ah, but no kids, no dad jokes." She laughed. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Unless someone purposefully sucker punches me in the stomach, I'm not giving up my children."
“If someone sucker punches you in the stomach they will die.”
"Yes I know I just made that point." She wrapped her arms around her stomach. "But I won't let that happen."
“No not the babies. The person punching you will die. I’m not quite that dumb,”
