Behind the Fame

Start of Something Wonderful

Jessica

It's been three weeks since Sara and I got together and everything has been really great! Luke in back with me he's been comfortable with Sara. She is such a loving mother to both Sofia and Luke and I cannot thank her enough for loving Luke as much as she does with Sofia. As with me, she been very fragile with how she treats me. I feel both happy and sad. I'm not quite sure why she seems so scared to say or do anything, anything that she thinks would hurt me. But I'd leave it at that for now. Maybe she's just getting the hang of this. After all, this is both our first so it's really new to us.

Sara and I still live in separate houses. It's weird I think we both want to move in together, well at least I do but I guess we both don't know how to ask and we're just waiting for each other to make the move. We usually just sleepover, switching between hers and mine on weekends. So today is a perfect day to surprise her. Today is a Thursday and she thinks I am doing errands so she is not expecting me at all.

I looked at my clock and its 5AM. I stood up to take a shower and get dressed then headed to Luke's room to wake him up. By 5:45 we are both headed over to Sara's. We gave each other copies of our house keys the night we got together which is perfect as I can creep in anytime.

"Okay, Luke, my love! Mommy needs you to be very quiet when we arrive at Mama's house, okay? We don't want to wake Sofia and Mama up." I glanced at my baby through the rear mirror.

With a smiling face and his 2-year old baby voice, he said, "Okay Mommy. Mama, Sofia sleep."

It's now 6AM and we just arrived at her driveway. Unless work demands it, Sara does not usually wake up until 7AM so I just got in on time. I have an hour to prepare breakfast.

A few moments later, I heard a faint cry. Sofia. I went upstairs to pick her up and bring her down to be with Luke. I ran as fast and as quietly as I could as to not wake Sara up and ruin my surprise. I put Sofia and Luke inside their play area and turned on the radio. Luke hugged Sofia and kissed her head, Sofia asking for more by bowing her head again and Luke happily kissed her again and again. Looking at my two babies and how the love being with each other melts my heart.

As soon as I finished, 'Cherish' by Madonna played on the radio. I turned the volume up a little and picked my kids up, placed them in my arms and danced with them like we were crazy. We twirled and giggled to the song all over the living room and kitchen. The kids kept giggling and laughing. The sound of their laughter is such music to my ear that I totally forgot that we were supposed to not make noise to not wake Sara up.

I glanced at the clock on my night table and saw that it was only 6:50. Without initially realizing what was going on downstairs, I tried to close my eyes hoping to nap for another 10 minutes, until suddenly I heard some noise.

I put on my shirt and hurried downstairs only to be greeted by the most beautiful sight I could ever see in my entire life. Jessica, Sofia and Luke. Dancing and laughing. The mother of my children. My children.

Jessica would sing the chorus of the song to the kids and both would giggle and laugh as their mother would twirl them swaying them to a happy dance. Jessica is such a wonderful mom. The way she loves Luke and Sofia, especially Sofia. She loves her so much like she was her own and never did I see or feel that she loved her any less than she loved Luke.

I quietly head back to the room and got my phone so I can take a video of this. This here is definitely going to be recorded in a tape to be watched by many and the grandchildren we will be having in the future. The next generations of the Capshaw - Ramirez family will know that this family was built in and by love. I did not realize tears started to roll down my eyes. Tears of happiness and fulfilment.
