As I finish warming up some milk for Juni, my phone begins to ring. I pick it up off of the counter and check the screen. Max, wonder what he wants."Hey mate" I answer the call as I put him on speaker phone and secure the lid to the top of the bottle."Yo, you home right now?" His voices comes thro
"Last night" Max shrugs. Well it makes sense why Poppy hasn't called Amelia then. Poppy knows it's Amelia's first day back at work today, she won't want to add anything onto her plate. I assume she'll tell her tonight or tomorrow, well maybe I'll have to now."What happened?" I ask my earlier questi

Not to talk about Poppy but just to say that he doesn't need to feel awkward around me?" She asks in a slightly worried tone. I find myself holding back a smi
"If somebody had told you when we had met that we would be here one day, what would you have said?" She asks with a cheeky smile after placing a kiss to my jaw. If someone had told me that I would be living in suburbia with a daughter and a woman I am desperate to make my wife, I would have told the
"Is this another sneaky way that you give me money?" She asks with a small smirk. I suppress a laugh, ever since I've met her I've been trying to give her more money than she's willing to take. I had to get creative in a lot of ways."It's better than the way I used to do things. You know for the fi
