Room 1-28 (COMPLETED)

Nico

I awake to the sound of Matteo crying, I sit up rubbing my eyes, and Will pulls me down, getting up.

"You got up the last two times. Sleep." He says yawning, and I grumble a bit but get under the covers again.

We've had Matteo for a week. It's been pretty good overall. He's a pretty good baby, only crying when he needs food or to be changed. Once and awhile for cuddles.

Our sleep schedules are still adjusting a bit, Will goes back to school and work next week, so I'm keeping my work home based for the time being.

Will feels bad leaving me with the baby, but I'm totally fine with it. Whether people believe it or not, I really like kids.

Also, this isn't just any baby. This is my sister's baby... and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure he's raised how Bianca would want him to be...

I decide to get up and walk over to Matteos' room, and I see Will sitting in the rocking chair, giving him his bottle.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." He starts, and I remember that time at the lake where we sang that together

"You make me happy when the skies are gray..." I start, and he glances up, and a smile falls on his lips

"You'll never know, dear, how much I love you." He sings back as I walk over and sit on the edge of the rocking chair as we both look down at Matteo.

"So please... don't take... my sunshine away..." We finished together as Matteo coos at us.

"Do you remember...?" Will asks, and I know immediately what he was asking

"The time at the lake? Yeah, I was just thinking about that... that was a year ago..." I say surprised on how fast time flew.

"It was the first time we said I love you too each other." He says, and I smile and lean my head on him.

"Now we're engaged, and we adopted my nephew... who's our son now..." I say softly as Matteos matching color eyes meet mine.

Bianca, he's so beautiful...

"I think he's gonna look like you with brown hair." Will admits chuckling lightly and I snort.

"There's a chance." I joke lightly, but I see what he means.

Matteo has his mother's eyes, which are the same as mine. He has Conners lighter skin tone and brown hair but has straight hair like Biancas, unlike Conners curly hair.

So combining his traits and not to mention we are blood, he might look like me a little bit when he's older.

"I think he's done." Will says, putting a rag over his shoulder and lays Matteo on his shoulder, patting his back firmly to get him to burp.

"You're gonna need to start letting me get up with him more since your school and work start back up." I mention, and he gives me a look.

"When I'm home, I'll still help, besides your going to be working and doing meetings from home with your laptop while taking care of him. I know that I'll be busy with work in the mornings but I'm part-time so I'll be home at noon, I'll take over when I get home. We'll eat dinner. I'll sleep before school, which you usually join me an hour later and it will be like how it is now, we'll switch every two turns and I'll get up around 11pm and why I'm getting ready if he stirs I'll be with him. Then I'll let you know I'm leaving by 11:30 pm and head to night school." He says, and I snort at how organized he's making this sound.
