You ARE My World

Gibson and Hunter

It's been three months since Steven and I got back together Addison is now two years old, and Grayson is 5 and half months old. I can't believe that they are both getting so big. I moved back in with my parents, and Steven decided that he was going to stay with me on weekends but is staying with his parents during the week. He comes over after work to help me with the kids. I didn't have the kids today, they were with Steven's parents for the day. I walked down stairs to get a cup of coffee. It was 6:30 am, and I was going to go for a run. I decided to skip coffee, and I walked out the door and ran around the block 3 times making that 3 miles. I went into the house, and I quickly took a shower. I came back down and iced my knee. Sometime I have pains, and running didn't help. It was only 8 am. And I was enjoying the silence. I decided to take out my phone and text Tristen.

Me- hey

Tristen- hey there. How are you?

Me- I'm great. Aunt Jenna is having her gender reveal party today. Wanna come?

Tristen- sure. Sounds fun. What do you think she's having?

Me- a boy. For sure.

Tristen- let's hope. She really wants a boy huh?

Me-yes. And so does my uncle dereck. I'm having coffee here, want some?

Tristen- sure be over soon.

I set my phone down and got a cup ready for him. He liked his coffee black and strong. When he got here I poured him black coffee, and handed it to him. "Thanks." He said taking a sip. I sat back down at the other end, and we sat in silence. "Do you hate me?" I asked. He shook his head. "I could never hate you. Why do you ask?" He asked.  I shrugged. "Just feel terrible for what I did to you.." I trailed off. He smiled. "I told you I understand. You love Steven. And he loves you. I love you in a weird sister kinda way." He joked. I laughed.  "Alright." I said staring at the tile on the floor. He stayed until about noon. And said he'd see me later. I nodded. I got ready to leave and I drive over to aunt Jenna's. I wanted to be there early to help her. When I got there she was just finishing cleaning. "Hey Em. Come in. You can wrap some boxes." She said handing me some tape. I started wrapping little boxes full of candy that had either blue or pink candy. But I couldn't see what color was it was. "So any names picked out?" I asked. She nodded. "Gibson for a boy, and Penelope for a girl. Whatcha think?" She asked. I giggled. "Gibson is adorable. I love it. And if its a girl I can call her penny." I said complimenting her. She nodded. "Thanks lady." She smiled. She sat down and grabbed some boxes and helped me wrapped. "Your uncle is hoping it is a boy. He doesn't even know." She said giggling. I laughed. "That's torture!" I said laughing at my uncle's torture. "I am so nervous. I haven't taken care of a baby in 18 years. And the girls find it so weird that I'm having a baby. But I'm not that old. I'm not even 30. I still have time." She said coming to a panick. I never really have gotten along with Mickey and Faith, but I love them because their family. They always had something bad to say about things. "Don't worry about it. Stop stressing." I said trying to make her relax. She nodded. When we finished wrapping the boxes I helped her vacuum the living room. And dust a little. "Aunt Jenna? Could you braid my hair?" I asked. "Yep! Grab the brush from the drawer in the bathroom and come sit!" She said yelling from the dining room. I loved it when she braided my hair. "Your hair is down to your knees in the back!" She exclaimed. I laughed. "I know. I love it long." I smiled. She braided it, and I thanked her. I put the hair tie in my hair. After a little while longer everyone started to make their way over. It was cold, so we couldn't go outside. My great aunts and uncle arrived first. "Oh, Amelia! Where are my great niece and nephew?" My aunt Cindy asked. I laughed. "They're coming. Steven is bringing them after he gets out of work." I explained. I helped her and my uncle into the house and sat them in one of the chairs in the living room. My parents came with Lucas and Olivia, and all of our other family members arrived too. I texted Steven.

Me- Where are you?

Steven- Just about to leave. Be there soon. Love you.

He was late. I don't like being late. I have always thought that I'd rather not show if I was going to be late, because everyone stares at you when you arrive. Once I saw him race into the drive way, I excused myself from the converstaion I was having with my Aunt Cindy, and went out to help him. "Sorry babe. Dad would not let me leave." He said hugging me. I nodded. "That's quite alright. Come on. She's just about to do the gender reveal." I said grabbing Grayson from his car seat. Addison was sleeping so he carefully carried into the house. "Grab her blanket. It's a little cold." I said to him. We walked in, and my Aunt Cindy pointed to Grayson. "My turn!" She said before I could even get in a word. I laughed. I went over to her, and set him in her lap. Addison had woken up from the talking and she was cranky. "I want my mommy." She said crying. I walked over to Steven, and I grabbed her. "I'm right here Beetle. You thirsty?" I asked her. She shook her head. I sat down with her in front of my Aunt, and watched aunt Jenna come in with two big boxes. "Why do you have two?" My mom asked. She shrugged. Lucas helped her pass out all the little boxes that I had previously wrapped and her and my Uncle Dereck stood by the table in the lviing room. "So, I have something to announce, not even Dereck knows this yet. And I was just informed myself two days ago." She said leaving us all in suspense. "Yeah? And?" My mom asked. "Oh hush Abigail. Let me speak." She joked. "The reason I have two boxes is because I am having twins." She said giggling. My uncle Dereck's mouth dropped. "We are?" He asked. She nodded. He smiled and swooped her up and kissed her. I smiled. "Alright, get a room, or tell us the gender!" My aunt Cindy said with anticipation. Aunt Jenna laughed. Well, in the little boxes that Lucas passed out, are the gender of the first baby, as well as this big box." She said pointed to the box on the left. "Go, ahead open them." She ushered us. I opened my box the best I could with Addison around my neck to see that it was a boy. I let out a happy squeal. "Yay! Gibson!" I said laughing. "Gibson?" Addison asked picking her head up. "Yes. Your baby cousin is going to be a boy! And his name is going to be Gibson." I explained smiling at her. Her eyes got wide and she made a silly face. I laughed. "And in the little pouch, that Amelia handed you on the way in has the second baby's gender." My Aunt cut in. "Can I open mommy?" Addison asked me. I nodded. I handed her the pouch and she opened it and blue skittles came out. "Another boy!!" I said almost in tears. Steven kissed my head and I laughed. "Yep two boys. and Gibson Hunter." She said looking at my Uncle Dereck who had a look of awe. He hugged and kissed my aunt Jenna again, and I smiled. Olivia got off Lucas's lap and came to sit in mine with Addison. "Did you hear Addie? We are going to be cousins!" She giggled. Addison made the 'O' face and we all laughed. "You already are cousins. But Aunt Jenna and Uncle Dereck are going to be having two new cousins soon." I explained to them. The girls giggled at each other, and I looked at Lucas. I mouth the words "Love you." To him and He nodded. "Back at ya" He smiled. Aunt Jenna ordered the pizza and we all hung out as family in her living room. I had my little family back together again, and I was happy for the first time in a long while. I looked over at Steven who was holding Grayson and he was playing with him. "He's a great father." My aunt Cindy poked my shoulder. I turned around and nodded at her. "You're right. And he's a great finace too." I smiled. He looked over at me because he heard what I said, and smiled. His smile was confirmation enough that he loved me, and that's all I needed.
