Sidney turns and heads up the driveway to the Lemieux's house as he parks in the same spot as he always does.
"We are here," Sidney says as I unbuckle and open the door.
"I can see that, think Autumn is ok?" I ask.
I'm just still nervous about leaving her since I just got her today.
"Babe, LC will not let anything happen to her. I know my cousin and she will take care of her," Sidney says as I get out of the car.
"Your right, I guess I'm just nervous leaving her behind,"
I shut the door and walk to the back of the car where Sidney meets me at.
"It's alright babe, if LC needs any help she will call," Sidney says as I grab his hand as I smile.
We walk across the driveway and walk along the sidewalk that leads to the front porch steps. I then walk up the steps onto the front porch.
I walk over to the door as Sidney walks in front of me. He takes out his keys and unlocks the door.
"Ladies first," Sidney says as I walk in front of him as I walk down the three steps into the house.
"Come on in," Nathalie says as I stand there waiting on Sid.
"Go ahead babe, I'm right behind you,"
Taking a deep breath, I head down the left hallway that I knew I would be closer to the kicthen area.
I walk into the living room to see Mario and Nat on the loveseat as Troy, Trina and Taylor are on the couch.
"Come on in and have a seat. Dinner will be ready soon," Nat says.
I walk over to the recliner as I sit down on the chair.
I watch as Sidney walks over and sits on the floor in front of the recliner.
"You want to switch?" I ask.
"No I'm good babe," Sidney says.
"Sid you can sit over with us," Taylor says.
"I'm good Tay but thank you," Sidney says.
"So where is our other guest at?" Nat asks.
"At home with LC, I didn't want to leave her but LC said other ways," I say.
"Aww, well she might have been right, you do have school and hockey. Thats most of your life. I can babysit if you need me too," Nat says.
"Thanks Nat," I say.
"I can as well," Mario says.
"Thank you both," I say.
"What are you girls talking about?" Trina asks.
I turn to face Trina.
"I have a baby now, she is my second cousin turn to my daughter," I say.
"Aww, is that what was in Columbus?" Trina asks.
"Yes, she survivied a car accident that took her parents to heaven. She is a miracle," I say.
I watch as Troy sits up on the couch.
"Aaylah I need to say sorry for all the days I have been here. I don't hate you I just want whats best for my son. You seem to be that for him. He does his hockey and he has you. You help him stay focus. Sorry I just had to tell you that," Troy say as he lays back on the couch.
"Thank you Troy," I say as I look down at Sidney, as what he said was a surprise to both of us.
"So whats her name?" Trina asks.
" Name by her parents is Alivia Allison Addison but I'm changing it to Autumn Alivia Thomason. I wanted to keep her first name in her name," I say.
"Autumn thats a cute name," Nat says.
"Thank you," I say.
"Why did you decide to change her name?" Trina asks.
"Because I wanted her to get another start in life," I say.
"Well she got a great start," Trina says.
"I think so, she already has tons of aunts and uncles," I say.
"What do you mean?" Taylor asks.
"The boys are her uncles and my friends are her aunts, I'm going to bring her up with the best," I say.
"Does Sid count as a uncle too?" Taylor asks.
"No, he will have another name for him," I say.
"Daddy?" Nat asks.
"If he gets it, he gets it. But no I was thinking Siddy," I say.
"It's close to daddy," Nat says.
I just smile, I havent talked in detailed to Sidney about Autumn. I plan on too but I know he would want to be in her life
I watch as Nathalie gets up and walks into the kicthen to check on dinner as my pocket begins to vibrates.
I lift my bottom up as I reach in my pocket to grab the phone pulling it out.
I open it to see I have a text from LC.
I hit on her picture as her text comes up.
"Aaylah, I'm having trouble. I dont know anything about making formula. Kris has Autumn in his arms, rocking her. Help!!"
I hit reply as I begin to type a message.
"Give her 5 ounces of water with 2 and a half scoops of her formula. anything else?"
I hit send as I place the phone in my lap.
"You want to eat in here or the table?" Nat asks.
"Let's just eat in here, we haven't done it in awhile," Mario says.
"Alright well homemade pizza is ready," Nat says.
I watch as Sidney gets up off the floor.
"What do you want for a drink?" Sidney asks.
"A pop, whatever they have in there," I say.
"Alright,"
I watch as he walks away as I see Troy, Trina, and Taylor getting up to follow him just as my phone goes off again.
I pick it up and open it
"Thanks, Kris is feeding her. Hope thats ok. Most of everyone has left besides Ryan, Nicole, Jordan and Vette. How is Marios?"
I hit reply
"Everything is ok, your uncle said sorry to me for judging me while he is here and everyone knows I have Autumn now. Nat and Mario offered to babysit if you couldn't,"
I hit send as i close my phone up as I look up to see Sidney walking back in with two plates and a Pepsi.
"Here babe," Sidney says a he hands me a plate and the pop.
"Thanks, well I think your teammate is getting caught by Autumn," I say as Sidney takes a seat where he sat down before.
"Who? Better not be Whitney. He's not too good with kids," Sidney says as I knew he was kidding.
"It's not Whitney, it's Kris. He held her and is now feeding her," I say as I place my drink on the table as I take a bite out of the pizza.
"Wow, Tanger. I hope he doesn't get any ideas with LC," Sidney says.
"Sidney she knows better. Nat this is pretty good pizza," I say as I see her and Mario walk back into the living room.
"Thank you, its a ranch style that I wanted to try. So do you have a picture of her?" Nat asks as I finish eating my piece of pizza.
My phone then went off as I open it.
"I am shocked he did that. I'm glad he did though, shows that he cares about Sidney and you. Attached is a pic with Kris holding Autumn,"
It is so cute.
I hit reply
"So cute, thank you guys for doing this for me. Tell Kris he is a natural and don't go thinking about ideas,"
I hit sent
"Nat, LC just took this picture with Kris holding her," I say as I hand her my phone.
"Aww she's adorable and already in Penguins clothes. A true member of the Pens," Nat says as she hands the phone to Mario.
"I remember when Alexa was this small, shes cute Aaylah," Mario says as he passes the phone to Nat then she hands it back to me.
"Thank you, she is an angel," I say as I close my phone as I see Troy, Trina, and Taylor walk back in with their plates.
"Nat this is good," Trina says.
"Thank you Trina. So what movie do you want to watch?" Nat says.
"Doesn't matter with us," Troy says.
"Sidney?" Nat asks.
"Play whatever movie you want too unless you have one," Sidney says as I watch him put his head back to look at me
"Nope I don't," I say as I get up and walk into the kicthen.
Walking into the kicthen, I place the plate in the trash as I walk back out to the living room.
I pass the couch as I see Sidney in the recliner.
"You took my spot," I say standing there.
"No I didn't, you can seat on my lap," Sidney says as he smiles.
I shake my head.
"Sid let the woman sit down," Troy says as I walk over and sit on his lap.
"It's ok Troy," I say as Sidney wraps his arms around me.
"We are watching Forrest Gump," Nat says as I kinda chuckle.
I haven't watched this movie in forever.
I get closer to Sidney as he plants a kiss on my cheek as I seen the lights go off.
"Everybody can see?" Mario asks.
"Yes," I say.
I just stare at the TV as my phone goes off.
I grab it from off the table and open it.
"Your more then welcome and we wouldn't do it with her and some of the guys here. when you guys be home?"
I hit reply
"After Forrest Gump more then likely. Will text you when we leave,"
I hit send as I place my phone back on the table as I pay attention to the movie.
When the movie gets to the part where Forrest is running from coast to coast, I start yawning and closed my eyes.
"Aaylah wake up babe,"
I open my eyes as I still lay on Sidney.
"Did I fall asleep?" I ask.
"Yeah, everyone has gone to bed is when I decided to wake you up," Sidney says as I get off of his lap and grab my cell phone off the table.
"LC didn't text you anymore," Sidney says as I turn around to see him get up and head into the kicthen.
I open my phone as I click on LC's name then started a message.
"We will be back to the apartment soon. I slept through the movie,"
I hit send as Sidney walks back over to me.
"Ready to head back?" Sidney asks.
"Yes I am," I say as Sidney grabs my hand as we walk out of the living room, passed the pool room and then up the three stairs to the front door.
Sidney opens the front door.
"Ladies first," Sidney says.
"Thank you," I say as I walk passed him out the door.
I stop and turn around and watched him coming out.
He grabs my hand as we walk down the steps off the porch and walk down the sidewalk to the driveway.
"So you glad that we came tonight?" Sidney asks as we turn and look at each other.
"Yes I am, glad Mario and Nat know about Autumn as well as your family," I say as he leans over and kisses me.
"I'm glad, let's head home," Sidney says.
We brake from holding hands as I walk over to the passinger side of his car as I open the door.
I hop into the Range Rover as I close the door.
Taking the seatbelt, I place it over my and buckle it in.
"You ready?" Sidney asks as he uses his key to start up the car.
"Yes," I say as Sidney places his car in reverse as he backs out the parking place.
He then shifts it back into drive as he heads down the driveway an stops.
"Are we clear that way?" Sidney asks.
I look to my right and didn't see anything.
"We are clear," I say a Sidney turns to the left and heads back to my apartment.
"Sid what is Autumn going to be calling you once she can speak?" I ask.
"Anything we wants," Sid says.
"What if she calls you daddy?" I ask.
"Then she calls me that, I hope to be married when she says that to me," Sidney says.
"Married? So in another 2 years you want to be married?" I ask.
"I do unless you don't want to be," Sidney says.
"Let's wait and see. Never know could be engaged on our year anniversity," I say.
Sidney grabs my hand as we enjoy our trip back to the apartment.
Once we reach the enterence, Sidney let's go of my hand so he can take two left turns into the apartment complex.
He turns off the road into the enternce way then turns again to go into my apartment complex.
We pass all the apartmens unles we came up to my building.
"Looks like Jordan is here still," Sidney says as he turns into a parking place.
I watch as he turns off his car.
I unbuckle as I open my door and hop out.
Then I shut the door and walk to the front of the car to wait on Sidney.
"I wonder why he is still here, it's passed midnight," Sidney says as we walk up to the sidewalk.
"We will find out once we get into the apartment," I say as I head up the stairs first.
Once up the stairs, I walk to my door as I watch Sidney using his key to unlock the door.
He opens it as I see Kris on the phone and LC right besides him.
I walk in as I walk over to LC.
"Whats going on?" I ask.
"Kris is talking on the phone to family in Montreal, I think? He is talking in french," LC says.
I turn and watched Sidney standing there, hearing what Kris is saying.
"He is talking to his mom it sounds like," Sidney says.
We just stand there as he hangs up his phone.
"Whats going on? Everyone ok?" LC asks.
"I'm a father and I never knew it," Kris says.
"A father?" Jordan asks as I see him get up.
Guess Nicole left with Ryan.
"Yea to a 2 year old son named Mason," Kris says.
"Do you have to go get him?" LC asks.
"Tomorrow I have too," Kris says.
"I'm going with you, not going to let you do this on your own," LC says as I watch her hug him then kiss him.
"If your going, I'm going," I say.
"Guess I'm in too, I think Flower, Vero will go as well," Sidney says.
"Guess we got a road trip," LC says.
"Yep," I say as I pull my phone out as Kris did as well.
By the end of the hour, we got a group of people going, Whitney, Nicole, Jordan, Marc, Vero, and Max Everyone wanted to go to support Kris which he needed.
I yawn as I place my head on the table.
"Babe, let's go to bed. We got to get up at 6 to head for Montreal," Sidney says.
"Wait what about Autumn?" I ask as I get up and go to the back.
Walking into my room, she is sound asleep.
"She is coming with us, I never called Mario and Nat about watching her." Sidney whispers.
"Guess it's me you and her together. I don't know if LC or Kris wants to come with us," I say.
"We are going with Marc and Vero tomorrow," Sidney says.
"Oh alright," I say as I yawn again as I being to strip right in front of Sidney.
"Forget getting clothes on, I'm going to bed," I say as I climb into bed as I see Sidney stripping and getting into the bed behind me.
"Thank you for today," I say as he wraps his arms around me.
"Babe, no need to thank me," Sidney says as I turn my head as he gives me a kiss on my lips.
"I love you Sidney,"
"I love you too Aaylah,"
I place my head back down on the pillow and close my eyes to sleep.
"We are here," Sidney says as I unbuckle and open the door.
"I can see that, think Autumn is ok?" I ask.
I'm just still nervous about leaving her since I just got her today.
"Babe, LC will not let anything happen to her. I know my cousin and she will take care of her," Sidney says as I get out of the car.
