It's a Love Story

She smiled and hugged him. "Why were you such a jerk. You've never yelled at any of us like that..."

"I guess I was scared of my little girl growing up," he murmured, hugging his youngest close.

"I'll always be your little girl Daddy."s he said softly.

He smiled softly, squeezing her gently. "I can live with that," he said, kissing her forehead.

She smiled and looked up at him. "Are you and Mommy okay now also?" she asked.

He nodded. "Mommy and I are back to normal," he chuckled.

"Good! I was scared for a little bit. You guys never fight... Rosie and Jon were pretty torn up last night when they told me what happened." she said softly.

Mike nodded. "I'll go tell them next."

she nodded. "Rosie's talking to Aiden and Jon's with Ren." she said.

He nodded and went to go see Rose first. He knocked on her door, and she hung up. "Yeah?"

"It's me, Rose. Can I come in?"

"Sure..."

He opened the door a crack to find her frowning at him. "I'm sorry you heard your mom and I fight last night. I was wrong. I apologize."

Aiden, who was trying his best to keep his girl friend happy, texted her.

everything alright? Want me to come over?

[too braindead to do this in detail XD]

Rose forgave her dad, who then went on to talk to his son, though quietly - he didn't want to wake up Ren, who was still running a fairly high fever.

Aiden showed up later even though things were okay. He went up to Rose's room after Roman let him in. "Hey babe." he smiled, leaning on her bed and kissing her lips softly.

"Hey," she smiled and kissed him back softly, happy he was there.

"how are you doing?" he asked, laying on her bed on his back, situating the pillow so he was comfortable.

"Much better. Dad's apologized to everyone and everything's cool again," she laid down next to him, her head laying on his chest.

He smiled and ran his hand over her hair. "Good." he said softly, kissing the top of her head.

She smiled and hugged him close, nuzzling his neck.

"Hey, babe... What do you think about bringing our relationship to the next level?" He asked slowly.

She blushed brightly. "Uhm... I'm not sure if I'm ready," she murmured, hiding her face. She was curious, but very nervous about the idea.

"I think it'll bring us closer." he said softly, slowly moving so they were facing, though she kept her face hidden in his shoulder. "Rosie, baby... Look at me."

Slowly, she brought her face up to look at him. She looked scared.

He looked gently in her eyes and kissed her lips softly. "You don't have to be scared." he whispered against her lips. His hand drifted down her waist to her hip. There, he pressed them a little closer, but he didn't go farther than that, not yet.

"But I am," she whispered, her body tense and shaking a little bit. "I've never done it, Aiden..."

His hand ran down to cup the back of her knee and bring it over his hip. "It's okay. I'll stop if you want me to." he said softly, running his hand up the back of her thigh as he kissed down her jaw line. The girl friend he had before Rosie was pretty active, so he was a bit more experienced.
