A sudden call

Allison’s POV

“Thanks, babe,” Tasha beamed, as I handed her a plate of freshly-baked chocolate cookies.

“You're welcome, T. Anything for you.” I darted her a wink which she returned by making a sound of disgust.

“How unromantic can one be, damn!” I teased, as I took my seat beside Aiden who was playing games on his iPad. “I thought marrying David would at least make you more loving and affectionate but I guess I was wrong.”

“Thank you,” She rolled her eyes. “My baby loves me like that.”

In response, I just huffed before grabbing a piece of the cookie and biting into it.

Turning to Aiden, I asked. “Do you want some cookies, baby?”

“You're welcome, baby,” I chuckled.

“He's so adorable and respectful,” Tasha smiled. “Well done, Allie, you really did a great job with him.”

“You know raising him wouldn't have been possible without yours and David's help, babe,”
