Gage's POV: "You guys are finally together?" Alex asks me when I get home. Alex must've gotten home today from his trip with Dana. I'm just getting home from the hospital. My grandma is doing the same as she has been, and I know it's draining for my mom. But dad told me to focus on work and he'll take care of mom. That doesn't stop me from feeling guilty. "Yeah," I shrug as we walk up the steps to the door. "It's new, and I'm not sure if Ashlynn wants people to know yet." "I can guarantee that Kylie knows already," Alex chuckles as he opens the front door. I slip off my shoes and hand my keys to one of the maids that is standing there. "I don't want to make her uncomfortable," I shrug as we walk down the hallway. "I never thought there would be a day where Gage Cutler would be a lap dog to a girl," Alex jokes and I can't help but roll my eyes at him. "You're just a dick," I say as we walk towards the dining room. "I don't know how Dana can put up with you." "Becaus

"Gage, wake up," a soft voice says. I feel a kiss placed against my cheek. "Gaaaaage." "I'm asleep," I mutter and turn my head to face the other way. "Fine, I guess I'll just leave you alone for the rest of the day," Ashlynn sighs. "I'll see if Vince wants to hang out." "You're staying with me," I mutter, pulling her closer to my chest. My arm is securely around her waist and she's not moving anytime soon. "Gage I have to go to physical therapy. It starts after breakfast," she says and I bury my head into the crook of her neck. "You're just a big baby." "I'm still asleep," I say into her neck and she just laughs. "After therapy and whatever you have to do for work today, we'll come back here and relax," she says. "Promise." "Hmm, I'm liking right now though," I reply and I feel her smack my arm. "Violence gets you no where." "Says you," she scoffs and I can't help but chuckle. I pull my head back, finally opening my eyes to look at Ashlynn. "Good morning angel,

Ashlynn's POV: "You're range of motion and flexibility is great," Dr. Tanner says. "Obviously the muscles are weak, but that was to be expected. We'll work on rebuilding that strength along with stamina next session." "Thank you," I say as I stand up off the bed. I just attempted to do a yoga pose called bridge. I was quite shaky but I managed to hold it for the time without hurting badly. "Is there anything I should do in my free time?" "Continue to do the bridges as well as the stretches we went over. It's important to not let that muscle sit and get tight." "Alright, sounds good," I smile. "I'll see you in two days." He gives me a small wave as I leave the room. I exit the gym and see Gage walking down the small hallway. "Done?" He asks and I nod. He has a small smile on his face as he comes towards me, he looks happy. A smile spreads on my face just knowing that something is making him this happy. "What has you smiling?" I ask and he just grabs my hand before he

"I've never felt this nervous in my life," Gage admits as I straighten out his tie. He keeps fidgeting with the cuffs of his shirt, while staring himself down in the mirror. "You'll be fine, and I'll be there to help you," I tell him, placing my hands on his chest. "And Alex made sure that one of your apartments in the city was set up for whenever the home visit happens." "Is this really smart? Adopting I mean," he says and I move my hands to cup his cheeks, making him look at me. "You're doing an amazing thing Gage," I whisper. "This little girl is going to be so grateful to be your daughter." "I'm overthinking this," Gage sighs and I can't help but smile. I stand on my tiptoes and pressed my lips to his. "You are," I say. "Now, we need to leave so we can be there on time." "Alex already has the car pulled up," he tells me. "Then we should hurry down," I reply and he just nods. I take

"Wait, so you spilled coffee on your professor, the first day of class?" Gage asks with a chuckle and I nod my head."It was my first day of college and I was so nervous, I didn't realize my shoe was untied. I walked into class and tripped on my shoelace," I say and shake my head at the memory.

"Fuck!" I groan as my body makes contact with my floor."Shit, sorry!" Ashlynn apologizes, peaking her head over the edge of the bed. "I didn't mean to push you off.""That's not the best way to wake someone up you know," I say. "A kiss would've sufficed."

Ashlynn's POV:"Where were you yesterday?" Kylie asks as I sit at the breakfast table."I just had to do some things with Gage," I shrug. "I'm not sure if he wants me to tell anyone about it."
