"Mom's calling." I said retrieving my phone from my purse.

Ross and I were at our local all you can eat and so far, the boy had eaten five plates of food including bits from mine.

He licked his fingers as i answered the call "Hey mom!" I smiled. I hadn't spoken to her in a while.

"Laura hey sweetie!" She said turning on her camera. I did the same and showed her ross ripping at some baby back ribs.

He grinned sheepishly and waved "Ross! My god! you're always eating and never getting fat!"  His mother said through the phone next to my mom. 

Because of ross' and I insanely close friend and also the fact that we were neighbors, our parents and also formed this insanely crazy bond. They would sometimes sleep over at each other. our moms would go to the spa or dads fishing or hunting. Our families were just close and I loved it.

"Hey Mom! Hey Mrs.M!" Hr grinned with a full mouth.

"Laura I see your feeding my son good in and out the house." Mrs.Lynch said. I luaghed "Sure thing Mrs.L." I laughed.

"So any one of you meet anyone new? dating anybody? " My mother grinned.

I turned back the camera to me. "No mom,we've already told you neither Ross nor I are looking for a relationship, we're not even buy to have one. If someone comes along that either him or I find interesting-" She cut me off. 

"I know, I know. You'll see where thing lead. But sweety, I'm Impatient! I want a grand baby!" My mother cried "And so do I, I need  grand baby to spoil." Ross' mother called making her son choke on his sprite.

I glanced at my best friend to see him fighting for air. When he calmed down his eyes were wide and glossy " You okay?" I asked. 

He nodded shortly blinking away the water in his eyes.

"Are you too sure you're not secretly dating and you haven't told us? Remember the dream I had about the two of you, I'm one hundred percent-" My mom began rambling and I cut her off.

"Um- wh-hu-mom-wha-i can't here you-no-call." And I cut off the call.

Ross laugh "You're evil." 

"Oh, I could always call her back for us to listen to her talk about the dream she had of us for the fiftieth time." I said picking up the phone challenging him.

Ross just smirked. He knew i wasn't going to call her back even if he asked. Last year my mother apparently Got drunk at your work party and she had a grin about "THE FUTURE." That Ross and I were married and had three kids.

It was just absurd! Ross and I had listen to her story until the end before bursting into laughter.

When we finished eating we went to the pier and walked and we ate cotton candy and he made jokes and chased each other up and down the pier.

"Oh my gosh my heels are killing me." I laughed as we walked into the house at around 11:30pm

"I could seriously do with a massage." Ross groaned turning on the lights. I locked the door behind us and threw myself on the sofa Ross following not far behind.

His hands stretched behind my head and I snuggled up to his side.

"Remember when we were ten and our we all went to  a family vacation and our parents wanted to go to a near by restaurant and we begged them to leave us home?" He asked resting his chin on head.

I smiled at the memory "Yeah. We got away and tour Manhattan at night." I laughed.

I could feel him smile "Gosh, so many bad things could have happened to us. We really thought we were on top of the world." He laughed.

"Do you think our parents knew we got away?" I asked looking up at him. He used his hand and ran it up and down my arm.

"Even if they did they were damn good at hiding it." He yawned and that was the last thing he said before he was out like a light me following right behind him.

><><><><><><><><><><

Ever had this thing happen to you where you were woken up by a sound but when you do get up, you don't know if you actually heard it or you were just dreaming.

My eyes snapped open when I think I heard something like the door bell.

"What?" I asked , voice hoarse.

Ross was snoring lightly besides me on the sofa where we fell asleep. I turned to the clock to see it was 2:58AM

I figured I was dreaming and was ready to snuggled back to Ross' side when the front light outside caught my attention. It was a sensor light, only came on when their was a motion.

My heart rate increase as I put two and two together. I hadn't dream it, and thinking about it I hadn't been dreaming about anything.

I shook Ross violently  and within a few seconds he jumped up.

"Huh?" He asked.

"Ross something's outside, or someone, i know. they rang the door bell." I said terrified.

He groaned "Laura, no one's going to ring the door bell at....3 in the morning." He said getting up.

I followed behind him gripping his t-shirt for dear life. "I'm telling you Ross I did!" I cried.

Ross unlocked the door and opened in cold morning air hitting us also with the unfamiliar sound of a babies cries.\

But Ross and I looked down to find a baby crying it's heart out in front of our door.

"Oh god!" I cried our immediately dropping to the ground to pick up the fragile child. "What the hell?" Ross whispered every trace of sleep vanished from his voice.

I quickly picked the child up and carried it out of the cold.

This was honestly not happening right now.

The child looked to be at least a few days old. It's body frail but his cry loud and thunderous. How couldn't we hear it from inside?

"Who would do this to you?' I asked cuddling the child to my chest. "They're so much heartless people in the world."I said rocking the child. It's cries calming.

"Uh,Laura?" Ross called from behind me looking at a piece of document from the baby's pram. "you might wanna see this." He said.

I walked over to ross and read what was the babies birth certificate.

His name was Malik Lynch and....his birth parents were Laura Marie Marano and Ross Shor Lynch.

And that's when I fainted.
