That night...✓

♣twenty-9

A few months later...

Ethan moved away from his parents house.

He lives with his best friend, Noah and his sister.

I'm mostly always there with Ivory.

We now do shifts...I have Ivory from Monday to Wednesday and he has her Thursday and Friday.

Then we spend the weekends together.

Our finals are coming up soon so we've been so busy.

Nessa and Azra have been the ones helping with almost everything.

Once I'm out of highschool, I'm focusing on family life from then.

I'm moving in with Ethan then.

I'm going the be running online courses in Uni which gives me more time to spend with Ethan who is now very officially my boyfriend and Ivory, my princess.

She's growing to become such a beautiful princess.

Currently she's pushing her trolley ahead of me.

We're at the park, we decided to go for a walk.

There was a power outage and the house got a bit stuffy.

She became cranky inside so we brought her out for fresh air.

She has been learning to stand on her feet and pick herself up little by little.

Today she's pushing her trolley on her feet.

It was very fun to see her do that.

I love watching her take her big girl steps.

"Go mama!" I cheered.

Ethan was beside her, ready to catch her quickly if she falls.

I was behind her, holding my purse, her water bottle and her blanket.

She kept throwing them out of the trolley so I had to hold them.

She has been falling a lot recently due to her latest ability to stand.

She seems eager to learn how to walk.

After a few more steps, she fell sideways and instead of landing on her butt she landed with her entire body on the ground.

One second she was babbling about nothing and the next she was bawling her eyes out.

Ethan lifted her and began to pet her.

"Come on mama, princesses don't cry." Ethan said rubbing her back as she wailed.

He made eye contact with me and smiled.

I walked over to him and he glanced at Ivory who had her head on his shoulder.

Her cries were reducing but she still sounded really upset.

"C'mon rincess" I said placing my hand on her lower back.

Ethan leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

"I love you" he whispered.

"I love you too" I replied slowly taking my hand off Ivory.

"Aw! Can I get a pic?" A young girl of about twelve approached us.

She had a camera around her neck.

Ethan scowled almost immediately.

I hit his shoulder lightly with a chuckle.

"Sure." I smiled at the girl.

She raised her camera up and clicked a few pictures.

I was the only one who put effort into the picture.
