Together till the end

Part 19

Veronica and Archie are coming today with their daughter Rose, so Jake and her can have a little playdate. Jake met Rose for the first time a few weeks ago and he's already two months old. The thought almost makes me cry, time goes by awfully fast. Before we know it he's bringing home girls and we'll never see him again. 

I finished changing his diaper and getting him in some black pants and a batman shirt for the day. I scooped him into my arms and walked downstairs, I walked into the kitchen spotting my husband with his back turned to us. J-""coffees almost done." He spoke up, meaning he heard us step into the room. Before I got the chance to reply, he already snapped Jake from me and drowned him with kisses. 

I laughed at them as Jake giggled and giggled, B-"Jug, give him a chance to breathe," I laughed as Jake giggled loudly because of his dad. J-"I missed him! You guys were taking too long," he defended himself with the worst excuse ever, as he had stopped kissing and tickling Jake. B-"you're just impaitned," he shook his head at my response.

 He clearly didn't think he was. B-"where's my kisses?" I asked instead, J-"they're on their way with the mailman." He joked, oh boy, the sass that man carries around, B-"you're unbelievable sometimes," Jug smirked, satisfied with his answer. He finally gave in and held Jake to his shoulder while he leaned in to peck my lips twice. 

J-"there you go, now stop complaining." He said and handed Jake back to me while he produced with the breakfast he apparently was making. He poured the newly brewed coffee into two mugs handing me one. I carefully walked into the living room holding a baby and hot coffee. I placed the mug on the coffee table and sat down placing Jake on my lap sideways so was leading up my arm, while I held onto to him with the hand there wasn't holding the hot mug, so he didn't lose balance.

 I kissed his cheek and took a sip of my coffee before placing it down again. J-"when's the guys coming over?" Jughead talked loudly while asking from the kitchen. B-" 2 pm, Veronica is bringing her famous brownie over." I tell him, hearing a small yes getting whispered. I start to feed Jake and just as I do he appears from the kitchen with two plates. J-"looks like i'm just on time for us all to eat together." he says as he looks down at us. He hands me a plate and I take it with my only free hand. Multitasking the best I can with a baby latched to me as well.

 B-"thank you." I thank him as I eat the toast and eggs he made and brought to me. J-" no problem, I was getting hella hungry, since someone didn't feel like leaving the bed this morning, hm? ring any bells." He raised his eyebrow, B-"oh shut it, I like to lay in my bed, what's wrong with that? and besides I was the one changing his diaper last night." J-" Hey! Our bed," B-"mm-hm," I mumbled with my mouth full, he rolled his eyes and laughed to himself while looking down at this lap and shaking his head. He kissed me, J-"I love you," he told me and stood up with our now empty plates. 

B-"I love you," I called out as he walked away and into the kitchen. I looked to Jake seeing his big eyes staring right back at me. I cracked into a smile and moved him in my arms, burping him over my shoulder, softly slapping and rubbing his back. A few hours passed rather quickly, I only mangde to clean the house a little bit since Jake and Jug kept destring me. I can't say I was good at keeping on doing what I was doing, with their adorable faces staring at me all the time. So we ended up on the couch all together once again and eventually the knock we've been excepted, filled the room. Jug joggled over to unlock it and pull it open. 

J-"welcome to my humble home," I heard from where I was, still in the living room. I could practically hear the grin on his face with him speaking. I hold tight on Jake as I move to the door as well to greet our friends and their daughter of almost 5 months. B-"come on in guys," I smiled at Veronica as she moved past Jug and brought me (and kind of Jake) into a hug. 

Archie holding Rose with his left arm and a bag in the other as he quickly greets Jug and moves to me afterwards, B-"how are you guys," I asked as we moved further into the house and eventually into the kitchen. Jughead leans over to grab Jake, which was perfect timing since my arms were about to give in from holding him for too long. 

V-"Rosie is going too fast for our liking, but otherwise we're perfectly fine," she smiled and I agreed. Since I feel the same about Jake already being 2 monthes old. Veronica and I moved around the kitchen for a while getting plates, cake and something to drink for everyone. The guys ended up walking away and into the living room claiming they were gonna watch football with the kids causing V and I rolled our eyes almost at the same time. 

They disappeared anyway, due to our trying to get them to actually have a conversation with us. A-"too girly for me right now - can not handle it" 'Archie claimed while mumbling and gone they were. We joined them about 10 minutes later, with warm bottles of milk for the baby and Veronicas newly baked brownie for us. We spent the evening chatting and just relaxing in each other's company. As new parents you don't get to see a lot of people as it is, so it was nice having them over. Jake and Rose also got some playtime and I have a good feeling about them being good friends growing up...
