Just Let It Go

“You were never that big,” he said smiling and kissed her head as she sat up,  “It’s beautiful out. I can get her dressed if you’d  like me  to  step out  for  you to get dressed?” Dylan smiled at the little girl and then picked her up,  “Besides, I like spending time with this little one.”

Althea was already untying her gown, glancing over as he picked up the baby. “If you want to, sure, her clothes are- well you know where they are.” She shrugged out of the gown, picking up the dress she’d brought to wear home, tugging it over her head. “At least she likes you, I think she likes you more than she likes me.”

“You could have gone home or I could have made room for you in the hospital bed.” She shrugged

“You needed to rest and heal. You didn’t need to be sharing a bed with me,” he said looking at  her and trying to not think on sharing a bed with her as he spoke, “So, when do they come for release?”

[altheaxpuckerman]

"It's a big bed and I'm not as big anymore." Althea shrugged. "I'd have been happy to share a bed with you." She sat up, moving to the end of the bed before getting up. "They said sometime after noon, so we have a little time. I need to get dress and Scarlett needs dressed... what is the weather like?"

“I don’t think he has a time he wants me back. I figure a week or so should do it. I can’t afford to take too much time off.”

“Just don’t…over  do it. We can work the rest  out you know.” He looked at her and shrugged,  “I’ll be happy to not have to sleep  in that chair anymore.”  Hospital  room  chairs were no where near comfortable, but he wasn’t going to leave  them  for  long.

“Yeah, I got an uber here and taking one home isn’t an option, so that’d be great. Tristan came to see her, said I can bring her to work with me.”

“Of course, I’m here already, right? Oh, really? That is great. He is going to let you rest  some before  dragging you back to work  though, right?”

“Scarlett passed all her tests, I get to take her home today, I’m having a mild panic attack, but Scarlett looks adorable.”

[dylanmeeksplays-blog]

“She is adorable, and so are you. Want me to come pick the pair of you up? I bought a car seat yesterday for me car.” He already knew he would need one, long as Althea would let him in.

“I don’t want to.” She shook her head. “What if something happens while I”m sleeping?” Althea reached up, taking the hand that was stroking her hair. “Also I can’t sleep until she has a name. I can’t keep calling her Baby forever. That’d be a terrible name and I’d feel wildly uncomfortable every time a middle aged man addressed her.”

“You need to Althea,” he said looking down at her and smiling brightly as he felt her hand hold his. He looked at her and spoke gently, “I will not let anything happen to her. I promise to wake you if something happens.” Dylan stayed by Althea’s side holding the small girl in one arm and holding Althea’s hand in the other. He chuckled a bit as he spoke, “Well, what have you been thinking?” He kissed Althea’s head and pulled a chair to sit next to her before going to hold her hand again.

[altheaxpuckerman]

"I don't wanna." She pouted. Althea let him take his hand away to get the chair and took his hand again, running her thumb over his knuckles. "Something pretty, and girly. I'm not into unisex names." She had figured that much out at least.

“Guys think it’s easy until they actually have to play daddy, then all the sudden it’s too much and they aren’t ready. Especially since I’m only 19. The fact that you have a girlfriend is still pretty crazy though.”

“Well if you ever need help, you have my number, obviously. Georgina is…I’m very lucky to have her.”

[altheaxpuckerman]

"I know, and thank you, Tris. You are, and shes lucky to have you."

“Had me fooled.” Althea muttered. “Yeah, he’s a friend. He’s super hot but let’s be real, it will be a while before I can find someone who finds ‘single mom’ to be a turn on… someone who isn’t a complete freak.”

“I don’t think it’s that impossible. I found someone who learned about all of my issues and still says she loves me and yours are easier to really deal with, more mainstream and limited.”

“Always knew there was something wrong wiht that man. He was too aggressive and off. Things didn’t seem settled with him.” Tristan smiled as he began to rock the baby slightly. “So he’s a friend?”

“Had me fooled.” Althea muttered. “Yeah, he’s a friend. He’s super hot but let’s be real, it will be a while before I can find someone who finds ‘single mom’ to be a turn on... someone who isn’t a complete freak.”

“That is because I am a nice boss. So…who’s the guy outside? The curly black hair?”

“And I don’t take no for an answer. That’s Dylan, he’s been... amazingly helpful.” Scarlett made a soft, fussy noise, but cuddled closer against Tristan and settled back down. “He put together the nursery for me. and has been there since her dad left.”

“Good thing I’m the boss who makes the decisions around the office, huh?”

“Yeah Bossman, that’s why I did end up working up until I literally couldn’t anymore and why I’m bringing my baby to the office when I’m out of here.”

[altheaxpuckerman]

tris-reed:

“You and Gigi just showed up. I had nothing to do with any of that. ….You are banned from my office now.”

“But you didn’t drive us away, which has to do with you. Yeah, I’m going to veto that decision.”

[altheaxpuckerman]

tris-reed:

“I’m not…functioning the way a normal guy would be. She could just not want me. We weren’t - I mean I wasn’t having sex with her if that’s what you’re thinking. She was on the desk against the wall and we were just kissing.”

“I mean, so far you’ve managed a friend in me, a girlfriend in Gigi, a bestie in Scarlett, so you’re pretty close to normal. Closer than you were before you met me, at least. Oh good, then I still can be the one to christen the office. Just gotta get past that pesky healing process then find some kind of boyfriend and I’m set.”

[altheaxpuckerman]

tris-reed:

“That is true. Georgina…found my sister, actually. So maybe….four if I ever decide to talk to her and maybe tell her? I don’t know. I shouldn’t ruin her life like that. That was what the soft banging against the wall was all about, by the way. ”

“Wait, really? I mean... There are definitely worse brothers out there. So i don’t know that you’d be ruining her life. Ha, I knew it.”

[altheaxpuckerman]

tris-reed:

“I hate just about everyone so that doesn’t really say much.”

“But your list of people you don’t hate is getting longer. It’s now... three people long?”

[altheaxpuckerman]

tris-reed:

“I’m glad that she’s not screaming, not sure I could handle it. Yeah, that makes sense in a way I suppose. I’ve..never really liked touching. What do you not like about him?”

“She seems pretty chill, which is great. Yeah, but both of them are really into it so it works for them. He’s obnoxious and way too into himself. I mean, if you spent more then twenty minutes with him, I’m sure you’d hate him.”
