Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 69

I can always hear you

"I don't know how to do it." I tell Hunt ashamed and irritated. I look down at my two-year-old cousin, Caleb, who has almost the same hair color as Hunt. He is staring at me with his big brown eyes. Mom wanted to celebrate New Year's with her younger sister, Jenny and her family. My eyes drift back up to Hunter, who is laughing. She moves over to us and watch me grinning.

"You have never changed a diaper?" She chuckles. I shake my head and sigh.

"No, I haven't."

"You have tons of cousins and you haven't changed even one?" She laughs, but her eyes tell me she is surprised. I put my hand over my eyes, avoiding this awkward conversation.

"Your cousin Skylar is a little weird." Hunt says and I hear Caleb giggle. I move my hand from my face and see Hunt tickling him. She steps towards me and take my hand.

"Come on, I'll show you." I follow her and Caleb, hand in hand into the bathroom.

"Take a towel and lay in on the floor." I do as she says while Hunt sit down on her knees and look at Caleb.

"This is going to be fun." She grins as Caleb put his hand on her face. I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"Can you lay him down?" Hunt asks, she hasn't gotten all of her strength back and I have noticed it is not easy for her. I lay Caleb on the towel. She turns to watch me with narrowed eyes, then she looks down at Caleb. Her eyes drift back to me.

"What is it with this family, and big brown eyes?" She asks confused. I snort and kiss her cheek. Hunt starts pulling changing him.

"Your cousin may be weird sometimes, Caleb..." I hit her in the arm as she starts to take off the diaper. They both chuckle.

"But," She looks at me for a moment, then she looks down at Caleb again.

"She can be really cute." She smiles as she takes on the new diaper, and put his pants on.

"Help him up." She says and I pick him up in my arms, while Hunt throws the diaper and wash her hands. Caleb moves and I put him on the ground, he runs out the door. I turn to look at Hunt.

"I am never going to change a diaper." I tell her. She narrow her eyes, and itches her forehead. I realize what I just said, and close the distance between us. I wrap my arms around her neck.

"I'm sorry." I lean back and kiss her on the cheek.

"Why are you sorry?" She ask so confused and it makes her look so adorable that I just have to kiss her cheek again.

"It sounded like did not want to have kids." I tell her a little embarrassed. Her eyes widen.

"Oh, I thought you weren't going to change Caleb next time." I burst out in laughter, no wonder she looked so confused. She smile with red cheeks.

"And by the way, if we are not going to have kids, I am going to leave you." She jokes, and I nod with a grin.

"I know." I chuckle and kiss her softly.

Hunter and I sat down on the couch an hour ago, and it took only ten minutes before she fell asleep in my lap. Ever since she woke up in the hospital, she has been falling asleep for some hours a day. At night, she is so restless that she hit me in the nose ones. I am not sure, if she even sleep at night or if she is just twisting and turning, and accidentally hit me.

I asked her if there was something wrong, but she denied, and told me everything was fine. She is not good at telling me if there is something bothering her. I know Amber told me that she could be easily exhausted. It is totally fine that she sleeps at day, but I am not sure how much she sleeps at night.
