Finding Hope – Chapter 1

"Kevin," a five-month pregnant Danielle Jonas yelled, she was in the kitchen making dinner for her and Kevin. Her family had moved out of the house a couple of weeks ago, it was nice having them here while Kevin was on tour, but she almost felt confined while they were here. She loved her family, but she is glad to have some peace and quiet. It gets very noisy when the Deleasa's are here.

"Yea honey," Kevin said as he came over and kissed her. Dani giggled when Kevin leaned down and kissed her stomach after kissing her. "What do you need?"

"Can you run downstairs and grab a potato and an onion for me, they are supposed to go in this dish," Dani said as she was getting ready to press the garlic.

It had been a normal morning routine for a couple of months, or at least when he could fit it in. When he got home from the gym, he was so tired and hungry and all he wanted to do was eat and take a shower.

However, Dani had different plans for him that morning. When he came home Dani had put all of his underwear and socks on the table, and well Kevin thought "oh she must be doing laundry." Dani had been getting angry at him the past couple of days for no reason and Kevin didn't know what to think.

"Kevin, can you just put your laundry away," Dani yelled at him that morning. He remembered saying he was hungry, and he would do it later, but Dani demanded that he do it right then. He reluctantly agreed to do it, so upstairs he went, and he opened his sock and underwear drawer to put all of his clothes away. "What's this in here," he said as he was standing looking at the drawer that usually held his underwear and socks, although it was filled with diapers and a bib that said, "I love you Daddy," along with a note that said, "Daddy, can't wait to meet you in 9 months, Love Baby Jonas." He was shocked to say the least and dropped all of his clothes. "What, you-your pregnant," he said as he started crying. He was so overjoyed and so happy.

They had told Dani's family about a month into the pregnancy. It had been so hard for Kevin to keep it from his brothers, but they didn't want to just blurt out the news over the phone. So, a week later they had told his family when both families went to the Bahamas.

Both families had been so happy when they told them that they were expecting a baby. The first ultrasound was amazing for both Kevin and Dani, just hearing the little heartbeat for the first time was music to both of their ears.

Dani had some severe morning sickness during the first trimester, she wasn't able to keep anything down and was constantly running to the bathroom. She had found that a basic herbal tea and some saltine crackers were the best thing to soothe her stomach. It unfortunately did not always work, but it worked more times than none.

"Kevin, can you run downstairs and get a potato please, before this is ruined," Dani said. She had been very determined to get this meal done right and exactly on time. She was making a Roasted Herb Chicken and Potato dish that she had found online somewhere. The picture looked good, so she decided to try it.

"Can you also let the dogs outside before they decide to" it was too late they had already peed on the rug right next to the door. At least Riley and Maci were at least going to the door half of the time now when they had to go outside.

Kevin and Dani had gotten Riley right after they got married, she had been a late Christmas present for Dani. Riley wasn't ready to be adopted on Christmas but about a month later they had adopted her. She is Dani's baby. Whenever something goes wrong, she always runs to Dani first.

About a year and a half later Dani came home from the mall saying that we had to go look at this sweet, adorable puppy that was for sale. So, we went back to the mall and picked up our little Maltese, named Maci. She was only eight weeks old when they got her and was so precious and tiny, she was the runt of the litter. She and Kevin watch TV in the mornings, she loves to cuddle with him.
