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.
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.)
(That’s not how adoption works dear)
(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,”
"Don't kill people unless you have to, that's bad." She tapped his nose sharply.
He shook his head a little like a dog who was just scolded but was also confused as to why.
"No murder unless necessary. I don't need to see you in jail." She tapped his nose again.
This time he bit at her finger as she pulled it away.
She wagged her finger like she was scolding a dog. "No no no, we don't bite people. Well, unless we have to. But no biting. Bad puppy."
