Cole grabbed Lili's phone from their nightstand and she went onto instagram while she continued to hold her sleeping daughter tightly. Then she began writing.
The post:
lilireinhart Hey guys, I know I haven't been active lately and I know there have also been a lot of rumours about me online, so I just wanted to come on here and give you all the truth. I have a daughter, Gracie. I had her when I was really young and at the time she couldn't be in my life. Saying goodbye to my baby was the hardest thing I have ever done, and even though I didn't want to, I knew it was going to be the best decision for the both of us. But recently she was brought back into my life, and as exhausting and terrifying as it has been being a mom, I have never been happier. That's all I wanted to say. I'm probably still going to stay off social media for a while so I can focus on my daughter but thank you guys for reading, love you all. And a special thanks to Cole for being so understanding and loving Gracie as much as you love me ❤️❤️
As soon as she pressed, post, she handed her phone back over to Cole who read the instagram post before placing her phone down and wrapping his arms around her stomach.
Cole- I love you, Lili, and I'm so proud of you.
She smiled and snuggled into his body, allowing him to hold her tighter. And after a few minutes Gracie began to stir awake.
Gracie- M-Mommy. (softly)
Lili- Hey baby.
Gracie- Where's daddy? (softly)
Lili- He's gone-
Cole- I'm here, honey.
Gracie- Hi daddy. (softly)
Gracie smiled and got up from her mothers arms before jumping up and squeezing herself between both of her parents.
Gracie- Did the other man leave?
Cole- Yeah, he's gone, babe.
She nodded while shutting her eyes and resting between her parents. But while she was distracted, Lili looked up at Cole and mouthed.
Lili- When did that start? (mouths)
Cole- Before she fell asleep...are you okay with that? (mouths)
Lili smiled and nodded while snuggling into her daughter, then she kissed her cheek softly.
Gracie- Mommy, daddy, can we watch tv and snuggle under the covers?
Lili- Of course we can.
The three of them got under the covers and snuggled with Gracie in the middle while they watched tv for a while. And for the rest of the day, the three of them snuggled, wanting nothing more than a relaxing afternoon as a family.
