Chapter 3
"Good Night baby. I love you." Jen said placing Jayson in his crib. It was about 10:30. She had just walked through the door, and already called Julie to inform her that they made it home safely. She unpacked the dirty clothes from the night bags, and called it a night.
"Okay Sugar Plum.....wanna take a bath?" Jen asked in a high voice.(Ya know..how you talk to babies?) Jayson replied with a small noise. Jen placed him in the bathtub that was set up by the kitchen sink. She wasked his body and the little bit of hair that was on his head, and just played with him in the water. Jen was just about to get him out of the tub when the phone rang.
"Shit." She said while reaching for the cordless. She left Jayson's side for not even two seconds and he was crying, because he doesn't like the water unless someone is by him. "Hello?"
"Jen?"
"Yea... Whos this?" She asked taking Jay out and wrapping him in a towel.
"Its Nick."
"Oh Hey Nick!"
"Hey, bad timing?"
"Sorta.. Hey give me your number and I'll call you back in say.... 20 minutes." Jen wrote down his number then hung up the phone and dressed Jayson, then got him a bottle before calling Nick back.
"Jay.... stay quiet okay sweetie? Mommys going to call back Nick and it won't help with you crying alright?" Jen asked while rocking him on the couch and making sure he was eating. She then grabbed the phone.
"Hello?" Nick answered after two rings. (Think he was waiting by the phone?lol)
"Hey Nick its Jen."
"Oh Hey!"
"Hi, sorry about before."
"Oh its okay. So what are you doing?"
"Nothing.. just feeding the baby."
"Aww.. hows the little munchkin?"
"Good." She replied. They were talking for twenty minutes when Jen burped Jayson and placed him in his bed, then sat back down on the couch and continued talking.
"What are you doing this weekend Nick?" Jen asked.
"I dont know... I don't think anything. Why?"
"I don't know..You wanna maybe come here?"
"Sure." THey talked for another hour and made plans for Nick to spend Thursday thru Saturday this week. Jen gave him directions on how to get to her house and then hung up the phone, and started cleaning, taking the oppurtunity that Jayson was sleeping. Nick would be coming in three days, and she wanted to get some things done.
After tidying up a bit, Jayson was still sleeping. She called her cousin, who was 16, and asked her if she could come over to watch him while she went food shopping.
Shopping was kinda hard for Jen because she didn't know what kind of food Nick liked. Every minute that past by, Jen grew more and more excited.
After spending about an hour and a half at the supermarket, Jen was finally home unpacking the groceries. Jay was laying in his chair thing on top of the table, watching his mother go back and forth from the bags to the fridge or the cabinets.
*Thursday*
Jen had gotten up at 9am, took a showerd, blow dryed her hair straight down, and got dressed. She wore a pair of denim jen shorts and a navy blue spagetti strap tank top. After getting herself complete, she gave Jayson his breakfast, then bathed him. She put a white onesie that said Reebok across the chest, then put a pair or white socks on his feet. When Jayson was done, Jen places him in his seat on top of the table and cleaned the dishes in the sink, then did some last minute straighting up.
"COMING!!!" Jen yelled. "Thats Nick munchkin." She said picking him up and walking to the front door. She swung it open and Nick stood there with a rose in his hand and his bags in the other."Hey."
"Hey Jen." He replied handing her the rose then hugged and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thanks." They both smiled.
"Hey Buddy!!" Nick said touching his feet.
"Come on in!" They walked in the dorr and Nick placed his bags in Jen's room. Jen told him that she would sleep on the couch, eventhough he insisted on him sleeping there.
After showing Nick around the apartment, they had lunch, then sat on the couch and talked.
(Jen in the shower)
Jen let the hot water stream down over her body, only thinking of one thing, and on thing only....Nick. He was so sweet. She knew she like him, but convinced herself otherwise. She washed her hiar and finished up. She put her hair up in a messy bun and threw on a pair of boxer shorts and a black tshirt and walked out of the bathroom. Jen walked over to the living room to tell Nick she was done and that he could go in, but the scene she saw before her was breath taking. Nick was laying on his back on the couch asleep, wih Jayson laying on his stomach, aslo asleep. She smiled to herself, then walked over to the television and turned it off. She picked up her son and put him into bed. When he was put down, she went back into the livingroom and covered Nick with a blanket and went to bed.
