"This is so gorgeous." Cassia smiled, her eyes scanning around every inch of the room with a small glint in her eyes. The room was packed with people, a lot more than what she expected considering she didn't make the guest list, leaving that up to Jamila, Mariah, and Cepheus. Having enough things to worry about already.
"Bear!" Christian pointed towards one of the large green bears as he stood on the couch next to Cassia. Leaning over, she gave him a small kiss before helping him onto his feet to stand on the ground and go to Crystal so he didn't mess the chair up. Leaving Cassia to attempt to stand on her own, but she failed like she always did.
"Poor thing, how do you stand up when you're alone?" Jamila shook her head, holding both her hands out to help Cassia who slowly stood to her feet. Straightening out her pink dress, she stared across the room into the mirror to fix up the flowers in her hair.
"It takes so long Mila, it's ridiculous." She sighed, running her hand over the flat part of her ponytail while looking around for Cepheus, who she spotted slamming a stack of cards down on a table. "Jamila who are all these people here? I literally only know you guys, some of Isaac's basketball friends who have come over the house before, but that's it." She spoke over the loud music, eyeing the people weirdly.
"Cepheus' people, they're all nice though and nobody came on any ghetto shit. So everything's good...and besides, the gift table is overflowing. Literally." Jamila pointed, causing Cassia to look over in that direction. Widening her eyes, she hadn't even noticed all of the gifts that filled the table and around it, stacked up tall all over the place.
"I told people on the invitation that they didn't have to bring anything, we already have so much stuff for them because Cepheus gave me his card and I kinda went insane on the online shopping. And then I also went to the mall with Crystal and got even more shit, their closests in the new house are literally stacked." She sighed, shaking her head while thinking on how long it took for Cepheus to do that with the help of the kids. Since Cassia wasn't any help at all.
"Speaking of, when y'all plan on moving there?" Reaching over to grab one of the stick marshmallows, Cassia popped one in her mouth while holding her finger up to tell Jamila to hold on.
"Well, originally it was going to be whenever the house was done. But considering it's done now, we decided on the day the twins are born. The plan is going to be whenever they come, the day we leave the hospital we just go straight to that house. I already had Crystal and Zahir start packing up their clothes and stuff they're bringing to the other house, and then I had Camree do the same when she came over and I finished Christian's stuff already. Since it seems like they'll be here any day now." She smiled down at her protruding stomach, her hands rubbing it gently.
"A mother of 5, I will applaud you until the end of time. Because whew- you literally are about to have 3 babies under that roof. Babies as in, bottle feeding, diaper changing, nap time, can't say full sentences that make sense, children." Smiling tiredly, Cassia only nodded her head because the thought alone had stressed her out for far too long.
