Hellooo everybody that reads this story. Sorry it has been ages! since I last posted. Also thankyou to everyone who comments, they're really appreciated and always brighten my day. Anyway since it's been a while I'll hash back a bit to what's happened, just to jog your memory...and mine....
"Marcus?" she asked me, something in her tone was a bit off. I slowly turned around to look at her. I don't know, I kissed her and she kissed me. It was a strange moment as I gazed into her eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...." she said softly. I couldn't beleive what had just happened. This weird emotion rushed over me, love? Surely I couldn't love her after one kiss. I'd realised that the feeling had always been there all along. I did love her, so much that I denied it. But I was speechless, I never dreamed that she would love me. "maybe I should go...." she whispered trying not to make eye contact "I'm sorry Marcus, I shouldn't have--" I placed me hand on her soft warm cheek, and slowly cupped her chin with my hand and pulled her closer to me. and kissed her tenderly. But....a screaming baby is really a romance killer. After settling Rina again in her basinet, I went back and sat on the couch next to Renee. "Uhh....you staying here tonight to help with the baby?" I asked nervously. "Um..I'd have to ask my mum, make sure it was alright with her" she replied just as nervous. Oh great, just what I didn't want to happen, now everything was weird. Renee made some sandwiches for lunch as we sat down at the table. Both of us quiet. "It's just great isn't it?" Renee said with sarcasm. I was a bit startled as she broke the silence. "What's great?" I asked hesitantly. "Now everything's weird, I didn't mean for everything to turn out weird. I just really like you Marcus" she said softly fading as she got to the end of her sentence. "You like me? Like....like like?" I asked. "What are you 5? Yes like like. I shouldn't have kissed you, I'm sorry" she replied saddened. "I kissed you back" I said trying to find the right thing to say to her. "Why did you? You felt sorry for me didn't you?" she asked, afraid of what my answer would be. "Why would I feel sorry for you??" I asked confused. "Oh you know, poor Renee, never has a date. Fills her time with charity work, and hangs around with a guy that doesn't feel the same way about her" she said talking about herself in the third person, which always seems to confuse me a bit. "Self-pity doesn't suit you. I kissed you because.....because I...like you" I replied terrified at what I'd revealed. "You like me? Like....like like?" she asked with a small smile creeping across her face. "Like......like like" I said. Before the conversation could go on there was a faint smell wafting towards us. "Someone needs a diaper change" Renee said and got up to change the baby's diaper. After a day of playing pool, and I swear she was cheating...somehow. The day finally dwindled down and it was finally time to sleep. Hopefully tonight I'd get better sleep than last night. Renee settled down into Travis's bed, as I took the not so comfy couch. More lumpy than comfy I must say. I slept right through the night, it was weird. I didn't hear Rina cry at all. I got up off the couch and saw Renee still fast asleep, I was about to wake her up then it hit me. That she must have gotten up during the night to feed the baby, and change her nappy and everything. So I let her sleep, and went over to check on Rina. I picked up Rina, she was so warm. When she was dropped on by doorstep the other night, and I was looking after her. She was like a burden, that I didn't want. Sorry to make it sound like that, but that's how it felt. But now, I have this kind of unimaginable bond with her. It's strange and the last thing I expected. I don't know how I could possibly hand her over to child services. It's not that they wouldn't try to take care of her. But going through foster homes, where's the stability? I don't know, but what if she turns out like Renee said? An old bitter criminal. Maybe she would be better off here with me and my brother. "Hey why didn't you wake me?" Renee asked when she finally arrised from her slumber. "I didn't want to wake you, you looked tired. Besides I didn't get up that long before you did" I told her. I was glad, all the weirdness the day before had left. It was like it was before but....better. We both knew how we really felt about each other. "Travis is coming home today." I stated. "Today? I thought he wasn't coming back until tomorrow" she asked. "Nope he was always going to be back on Sunday...well today" I said. "And let me guess" she started "You haven't told him about the baby?" she asked and I just shook my head. "Well, the baby's leaving tomorrow so you won't have to worry too much, it's just one more night" she smiled.
"Yeah....I guess........but what if I....wanted it to be longer than that?" I asked hesitantly. "You mean longer as in rest of her life longer?" she asked getting excited. I hadn't really thought of it like that, for the rest of the baby's life. That's a long time. That's longer than my life. Having the baby around for the rest of my life. "Yeah....rest of her life longer" I said. "Well in that case you really should talk to Travis when he gets home" she beamed. I knew she wanted me to keep the baby here.

Hey, thanks for blessing me with such a good story. I think Renee should be the mother, it'd make a good twist! It makes sense since she only recently confessed her feelings for Marcus.

Renee should be the mom. Like, it should turn out that shes the mom & she figured this might be a way to tell Marcus about the baby. Then they should get married and have a couple more kids. The end!
Hehe, just a thought
