Quinn POV
I don't know why I set an alarm. I glanced over at the clock and it read 7:00am. I groaned in irritation, throwing my pillow at it. I heard a chuckle come from further in the room. 
I glance over to see Jerome in nothing but his boxer shorts. I must have been staring for a few minutes because he continued to chuckle as he asked "like what you see Dollface?" 
I throw my other pillow at him in response ,and hide my head under the other one to try and hide the fact that I'm blushing. "Is it me or are you actually blushing at seeing me shirtless instead of wanting to strangle me?" Jerome asks a bit of amusement in his voice. 
I frown at him. "Who says I don't want to strangle you? Now get out, so that I can get dressed." 
"Why?" Jerome asked I could see the amusement shinning in his beautiful eyes. 
"Look, just because I let you sleep next to me in bed, doesn't mean that I'm going to let you see me in my birthday suit." Jerome pouted but did not reply. He however, did not do as I asked. Instead he just stood there in the doorway. 
"Just get dressed Quinn. I promise I won't watch." 
"Jerome...." Before I could finish my  protest Jerome we heard crying coming from the baby monitor. I sighed in relief and Jerome chuckled "saved by the baby's cry." He replied his eyes still sparkling in delight. "See you in a few Dollface." Jerome said with a wink as he exited the room.
"You need to work on your timing little one." I heard him telling Bella over the baby monitor. "I was just about to watch my beautiful girlfriend get dressed when you cried. Now I'm going to miss it." 
I heard Bella whimper and Jerome coo at her. "Shhh. Don't cry little one. I'm not angry." I heard Jerome heading in my direction I frowned wondering why I didn't hear Bella's footsteps. 
Knowing that he'd be in the room at any second, I quickly threw on some clothes he sighed in disappointment upon entering the room carrying Bella in his arms. 
"I know what your thinking. Why am I carrying her? Well, the answer is simple. She's too young to walk too far by herself. She often falls down. I don't want her to get hurt, so I carry her instead." 
"So you weren't kidding. You had that crazy hat head hypnotize her. What I don't understand is why." I replied and Jerome sighed.
"Bella sweetheart, I need you to turn your listening ears off while I have a privet conversation with Quinn, ok?" 
"Otay. Ginanut, Me dwaw you a pictua." 
"What did you just call me?" 
"Ginganut." Bella said with a giggle. 
"Bella, I want you to listen to me very carefully, You are never and I mean never to call me that again. Is that clear?!" I replied angrily. 
At this, Bella's eyes filled with tears and her lower lip began to tremble and she let out a small whimper.. 
"Me sowwy." 
"Shhh. It's alright. It's alright. You didn't know. I didn't mean to be so hard on you. It's just I dislike being called that." Jerome replied with a slight growl shooting me an irritated glare. 
Once he sat Bella down, he turned to Me and asked me a simple question. 
"When you look at Bella what do you see?" 
"Upon first glance she looks like a toddler." 
"Exactly. To be an adult trapped in the body of a child is no walk in the park. The world is cruel, they judge Bella before they even know her."
