Gradual Change

ch.7

It was exactly eight in the morning when Heather's alarm started. The calm classical music was relaxing in the morning. She sat up on her bed and stretched her arms before heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. In the shower, she couldn't help but think about today. Deep down she knows that their life is about to dramatically change. She knows that it will affect Ryan the most but whatever happens she can't afford to lose her baby.

Whatever happens, they will see it through as a family. Emerging from the shower Heather could see that Jeff is up and reading something on his phone. "Good morning," Heather said walking over to Jeff both of them sharing a passionate kiss.

"Good morning babe," Jeff replied breaking the kiss. "Are you taking Ryan to see Lynn?" Heather nodded sadly she was dreading this visit so much but she couldn't do anything. She had to do this.

Sensing her fear Jeff reached out and squeezed her hand. "Whatever happened it will be ok, we are family and we will go through whatever happens like one," Jeff said reassuring Heather. He was worried himself he loves his sons more than anything in the world and would hate to see one of them suffering for any reason. "Anyway, I am going to shower quickly and get ready for the run," Jeff said heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

Heather walked out of the room going to George's room to wake him up. George was asleep half of the covers tossed off and most of his stomach was left uncovered. Heather was able to see a glimpse of his aps, he was indeed well built. With how many hours he spends working out weight lifting it was normal. He had put on a lot of hard work to get to that point.

George, however, didn't like to show it that much especially in front of the cheer squad. These girls were ready to chase after him to the end of the world. Seeing he didn't have a girlfriend all the girls thought it was a good chance. They had been begging Heather to give them George's number but they never succeeded. Heather just shook her head thinking how many girls would be drooling seeing this sight in front of them?

Leaning down Heather removed some of George's short curly locks from his forehead and give him a soft kiss on his forehead. "George, it's time to wake up," Heather said shaking him softly. George didn't wake up instead he just rolled to the other side of the bed. "If you don't get up, I am gonna share your number in the cheerleading chat group, I have to say they are dying to have it," Heather said teasingly.

George's eyes opened suddenly as he sat up on the bed immediately. "No mom anything but that," George shot immediately. He had been trying his best the avoid the cheer squad girls, he simply couldn't let his mom share his number with them. If she did, he would never hear the end of it, and he was not into any of those girls, the one he wants was Nancy.

"That's more like it," Heather said with a smirk. "Take a shower and get dressed I am going to wake up Ryan," Heather instructed before leaving the room with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but see how much George looked like his father. She felt bad for Nancy she knows that Nancy was into her son and she couldn't blame her. It was this impossibly handsome look that made her fall in love with Jeff.

She just hoped that George would gather up his courage and ask her out. She hoped that George would realize how much he and Nancy were simply meant for each other. She only hoped that George won't break the poor girl's heart. Knowing her son, however, she knew he wouldn't.

Heather always felt grateful for having two magnificent kids that she loved from all her heart. Even though she always wanted to have a girl, she was happy with her sons. On the way to Ryan's room, she passed a closet made solely for trophies that both Ryan and George earned. Both Heather and Jeff quickly discovered that the shelves in the boys' room were not enough for their trophies so they decided to bring a closet for them.
