Chapter 25
"I'm home!" Nick screamed slamming the door behind him.
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!!!!"
"Hey guys!" He screamed back bending down to be their level. He kissed Jayson (5) and Cayleigh's (almost 3) head. "Where's Mommy Cay?" She held her arms out and shrugged. Nick laughed to himself, picked her up and started walking up the stairs to his bedroom. "Jen?" He called out.
"No mommy hea." Cayleigh said holding onto her father.
"Baby, go downstairs and play with JayJay." Nick announced kissing her daughter's forehead then putting her down.
"Okay." She ran off.. Nick watching as her blonde curly locks that were in pig tails bounce up and down.
"Jen?" He called again, pushing the bathroom door open. He saw her sitting on the edge of the jacuzzie. She looked up to meet his eyes staring at her in confussion. "What happened?"
"I'm..." She started, holding the test up.
"Pregnant?" Nick asked getting excited. He rushed to her side and took her in his arms and squeezed her tight. "AHHH!!" He screamed loudly. "I told you didn't I?" He asked kissing her all over, ending at her mouth. "I love..<kiss>... you...<kiss>...so...<kiss> much." He pulled back and looked at her. She smiled and nuzzled her nose with his, then held his hand and placed it on her stomach.
"Who screamed?" Jayson asked coming up the stairs.
"Where's your sister?" Nick asked.
"I wright hea." She cutely answered holding her doll in her left arm.
"Come 'ere kids. Sit on Mommy and Daddy's bed." Nick instructed kneeling in front of them at the foot of the bed, Jen sitting besides Cayleigh, holding her.
"I didn't do anything! I promise." Jay answered getting all mushy. Nick laughed to himself.
"No. I know, we have to tell you guys something." He looked over at Jen and smiled. "You're going to have a new brother or sister."
"<Gasp> Cayweigh gonna get a Baby?"
"Yea Cay."
Jen said kissing her.

"Alright Jayson let's go. The water is ready." Jen called down the stairs.
"Okay." He shut the television off and went into the bathroom where his mother was undressing his little sister.
"Close your eyes." She said pouring water over their heads and washing out the shampoo. "Stay right here. Don't move. Maybe that's Daddy." Jen said getting up and getting the phone.
"Hey Baby."
"Hey." She smiled at the sound of his voice, and walked back into the bathroom to keep an eye on her kids.
"I'll be home in a little bit, J needs to show me something."
"Alright." She looked up to hear screaming. "Jayson stop splashing your sister."
"They're in the bath?"
"Yea."
"Okay, well I gotta go. Tell them I love them and i'll see them in the morning."
"Daddy love's you and he'll see you in the morning." Jen said relaying the message. Nick chuckled.
"I love you."
"Love you
back. Bye." She clicked the phone off and took them out of the bath.
***
"And the monster grabbed the princess and put her to bed." Jen said grabbing her daughter who was at her tea table in the center of her room. She put her into bed and threw the covers over her body. She leaned down to kiss her forhead. "I love you. Now get some sleep."
"Wuv you too." Cayleigh answered yawning, then turned on her side and closed her eyes. Jen watched her for a few seconds, admiring how fast she grew up. Then, shut off the light and closed the door, leaving it open a crack.
"Did you brush?" She asked coming into the room.
"Yup." Jayson replied jumping into bed and throwing the covers over him, himself. Jen came over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"You guys are growing up too fast Jay." She smoothed his hair and bent down and kissed him. "Love you Baby."
"Love you
too Mom."
***
Jen filled the tub up with warm water and climbed in. Clipping her hair up in a bun, she layed back, closed her eyes, and relaxed.
She grabbed the soap and rubbed it all over her body and drew things with her finger. She started smiling at the thought of having another edition to their family. It seemed like once the youngest was ready to go to Pre-School, another was concieved.
Washing her body
with the warm wash cloth, she let the water fillout a bit before getting out
and wrapping herself in a towel. She glanced at herself in the mirror the brushed
her teeth.
***
Jen layed in bed
on her side, facing the television. She rubbed her eyes, knowing that she was
tired.. but fought to stay awake to wait for her husband, but had no luck as
she felt her eyes getting heavier and heavier.
***
Nick came into the bedroom quietly, knowing that Jen probably had fallen asleep by now.
He smiled to himself as he saw her peacefully sleeping. Stripping his clothes off with only his boxers on, he went into his kids' room, kissed them goodnight, and came back into his. Shutting off the tv, he climbed into bed.
"Hmmm." Jen moaned felling Nick's body close to hers. She opened her eyes to see him staring at her. "What are you looking at?" She asked smiling, in a groggy voice.
He moved his head over closer to her's and kissed her. For a while, they just layed there kissing and enjoying each other's company.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Jen pulled back and looked deep into Nick's eyes, somewhat out of breath.
"I'll be right back." She said starting to get out of bed.
"No, i'll get her. Stay right here." He said giving her one last quick kiss then got up to see what his daughter was screaming about. Five minutes later he was back..but not by himself.
"Mommy." Cayleigh cried.
"Shhh. What's the matter Munchkin?" Jen asked taking her from her husband's arms and holding her while she cried.
"I scawed. A monster was chasin' me."
"Aww, it's okay, Baby. Sleep here with me and Daddy." She answered moving over a little bit and making a little room for her. She layed her down on a pillow and stayed away while she fell back asleep.
"Alright, i'm tired." Nick said yawning, after they talked for a little while. He leaned over his daughter and gave Jen a kiss goodnight. "Love you."
"Love you too." Jen mouthed.
