"Dana, wake up we need to go, Jayden is fed and dressed" Casey shook me gently as I grunted.
"Let me sleep" I turned forgetting there was a large open window and was blinded by the light.
"Fine fine I'm up" I groaned getting out of bed as Casey pulled me close to place a kiss on my lips which I dodged by turning my head.
"I have morning breath" I blushed
"I don't care, come here" Casey said adamantly as he cupped my face in his hands and pulled me even closer kissing me.
It was a week after the break in and out of fear and security we were still staying at Casey's family home. My father was classed on amber alert as a dangerous person and had not been seen or even heard from. Jay and Anna had decided to move to LA until our father was captured.
"And this one is has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two large closets" said the retailer.
"I really like this house Casey" I said pushing the stroller around in the dining room, imagining how it would look like.
"Same here baby" Casey said enveloping him arm around my waist. It was a grand house, totally immaculate, there was enough room for Jayden to have a play area, Casey a study and me the closet of my dreams. We applied for the house and left the retailer with the hope she accepted our offer.
After our home hunting we decided to go to lunch at jack in the box, we both got tacos I got mine with mozzarella sticks and Casey got his with jalapeño sticks and we shared a salad.
I fed Jayden whilst eating and Casey then burped him.
"I'm gonna be so fat when I go to college tomorrow" I groaned as I got in the car next to Casey after i fastened Jayden in and Casey put the stroller away.
"You've already had a baby and boy you still look gorgeous- I'm such a lucky man"
"Yes you are but still"
"No butts" Casey joked " I'm taking you to meet Anna and have a shopping day and I want you to spend to your hearts content"
"Please come along, I can't bear being away from you and Jayden plus it'll give me a chance to show you what I want from Santa" I winked
"We need to get back into a routine, we can't let your dad stop us"
"I know but please, come with us" i begged " it's the only way I'll feel safe"
"Fine, just because I love you too much to leave you alone when you feel like that" Casey smiled
I glanced at his hands on the wheel and I felt a rush of love and warmth. His gold wedding band symbolised everything that was our love. I reached for his left hand and entwined my hand with his lovingly. He lifted our hands and kissed the back of my right hand. Jayden could be seen from the baby mirror playing with his blanket and teething toys happily.During this moment I felt so happy and content with my little family.
Shopping with Anna was a blast from the past. We bought countless of gorgeous outfits, even some Jayden. I had bought a pair of blue denim shorts, a white laced crop top that revealed my pierced belly button if I stretched and a pair of gorgeous silver gladiators to wear to college the next day, I wanted to look hot but yet girly and somewhat mature at the same time after all I was a wife and a mother.
After shopping Anna took us out to dinner as she wanted us to meet her long term boyfriend who had just flown in from Idaho. we entered the Japanese restaurant with Casey holding Jayden and I pushing the stroller. A beautifully dressed Japanese woman showed us to our table where a good looking man with curly brown hair with a blonde tint, big brown eyes and fair coloured skin. He sat well dressed for occasion in a preppy laid back outfit. As he saw us he stood up and pecked Anna on the lips.
"Hey babe" he said as she pulled back and I cleared my throat. Casey put his free hand round my waist and pulled me close smiling.
"Sorry" Anna blushed facing me. "Jonathan this is my sister Dana, her husband Casey and my nephew Jayden"
"So good to put names to faces and you have a gorgeous son by the way I can't wait for me and Anna to settle down one day" he smiled as Anna blushed uncontrollably
"Great meeting you man" Casey nodded his head at him as his hands were full.
Soon enough we had ordered and our food had arrived and we got our chopsticks out. At this point Jayden was sitting on my lap watching us eat and I could tell he was beginning to get fussy and wanted to eat. Since we sat in a booth, I swapped seats with casey so I could sit where it was dimly lit. I took Jayden's blanket and wrapped him up as i covered myself in the process and nursed him.
"Sorry about this Jonathan, i never do this but babies are way too demanding" I apologised.
"It's fine as long as i get to play with him some time, and please call me Jon"
"Sure thing Jon" I laughed
"After i finished nursing, I burped then rocked Jayden softly and passed him to Casey to hold him as he slept and I ate.
Dinner was amazing Jon was hilarious and I truly thought him and my sister were meant to be. Whatever she didn't have he had plenty enough to make up for it and that reminded me of Casey and I.
When we got home I was exhausted I greeted Collete and James who sat in the living room watching Inside Death Row by Trevor McDonald, my father deserved to be in that prison after everything he'd done and we'll sure as hell make sure he does.
It had become a custom for us to co-sleep since the incident a week ago as I got into our room i left Jayden in his car seat sound asleep on the bed as I took the monitor to the bathroom to have a shower.
"Twinkle twinkle little star.." Sang the monitor I guessed Casey was rocking him to sleep. I got dressed into Casey's oversized shirt and wrapped my robe and found Jayden lying on the bed on his stomach struggling to move with a changed diaper and a dirty one next to him. I picked him up and straddled him to stop him from crying.
"Casey" I shouted angry that he didn't place the diaper in the genie and almost left our son suffocating.
"What's up babe?" he asked casually
"Why did you leave Jayden like this and put the diapers away" I told him
"What diapers?" He asked confused as I place Jayden on his back on the bed and crossed my hands.
"Stop playing you just changed Jayden's diaper I heard you singing on the monitor"
"Dana, I've been downstairs with my parent talking I didn't sing or change any diapers" Casey said seriously concerned
"If you didn't do it and I didn't do it and your parents didn't do it and jay or Anna or Jon didn't do it then who is the man I heard?" I asked terrified
" grab Jayden and lets go" Casey said in a panic grabbing my jeans and sandals on the floor where I'd left them earlier next to Jayden's baby bag and car seat as I grabbed Jayden and my purse and took the stairs two at a time behind Casey, protectively holding on to Jayden.
"Mom call the cops now!" Casey said as he entered the living room.
"What's going on?" Collete asked anxiously getting up from where she sat comfortably next to her husband.
Just as she dialled 911, we heard the front door open an close and a car engine revving...
