Our Journey

Uninvited

It's a fun day for the family because Zac decided to BBQ for the holiday. Liam and Lori are coming over, they were assigned to bring the mac and cheese and pasta salad. Zac is outside on the grille making ribs, burgers and hotdogs. Fatima is in the kitchen assisting the kids while they help her cut the fruit, they weren't really helping just in the way. Fatima is also baking a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, it's everyone's favorite except for Zac and Jojo's. She also made apple pie as a substitute dessert for her two non chocolate lovers. She gets done whisking the icing and gives each of the kids their own whisk to lick the frosting off. This was one of her favorite memories as a kid with her mom so she was happy watching them

**
Jax. Here mommy the baby wants some too.. Jaxson hands Fatima his partially licked whisk to share with his younger sibling.

Fatima. Aww that's so sweet Jax you're going to be the best big brother in the world I already know it she says while pushing his curls out his face because they were getting all in the icing

Jojo. What about me mommy? baby can have some of mine, I'll share too .. here
she says handing out her whisk to Fatima

Fatima. You are too baby you're going to be the best big sister ever, she kisses her cheek.
Jojo smiles and Fatima smiles back.
..
Okay let's get you both all cleaned up so we can go out back. Fatima gets both kids down off the kitchen island where they were sitting and on to the floor

Jojo. Mommy can we swim now

Fatima. Yes baby go grab your swimming suit.. but Jax you wait for me I need to get your life jacket first.
Jojo has been in swimming lessons since she was six months so she's able to swim freely .. Jax still needs an adult close.

The kids run upstairs to their rooms to get their swim wear while Fatima goes out back to check on Zac

—

Fatima. You look so damn fine out here on this grille she says walking behind him wrapping her arms around him. Baby can you burn my hotdog for me you know how I like it.

Zac. Yeah I know how you like it.. he says turning away from the grille to face her. I got the best hotdog in town you better ask about me

Fatima. Ask about you? Who else getting a piece of my hotdog she says kissing him flirting..
hmm who else she says depending the kiss but they were interrupted by a knock on the front door .. so Fatima goes back through the house to open it

—

Lori. Hey family!!!! ..
Lori says as Fatima opens the door seeing her on the other side

Fatima. You're late..
Fatima responds while grabbing the dish out her hands.. I said 3:00 its now 4:00 you always gotta be on CP time. I was craving your damn Mac and cheese

Lori. Well me and Liam had to make a quick stop she says winking .. " if you know what I'm saying "

Fatima. Y'all was fucking in the same car as this Mac and cheese unun take it back she says handing her the dish and Lori laughs..
just nasty that's why your fast tail pregnant now

Lori. Oh shut up speaking of pregnant I wanted to give you this .. Lori says excitedly, handing her the gift bag

Fatima. Annddd What is this for?? Fatima drags..
my birthday isn't for a few months she says taking the gift bag.

Lori. Just open it ..
Lori looks at her eager to see her reaction to what's inside the bag

Fatima's pulls out a shirt and reads it out loud

Fatima. "God mommy two be"
Aww thank you so much but Lori they spelled it wrong, I swear "two to and too" be having folks In a choke hold. Who made this cause they know they dead wrong.
Lori is smiling shaking her head at Fatima

Lori. No it's right you just have to read it again. Maybe read it slower this time

Fatima reads it again and still cant figuring it out

Lori. Just look at the rest of the gift Ti. Lori says becoming impatient

Fatima reaches back in the bag pulling out a sonogram seeing baby A and baby B on it

Fatima. Wait Lori are you having TWINS!
Fatima's eyes instantly start to swell with tears because everything Lori has wanted she's getting blessed with it all at once

Zac walks in with the tray of ribs overhearing the interaction

Zac. Wait did I just hear twins? he says, putting down the tray on the stove and walking to meet them at the front door

Lori. YES!! Two babies she says holding the sonogram
you know we had to double it she says flagging the picture around

Liam walks in shortly after

Liam. Did you tell them babe?? did you tell them I had a magical penis!

Every since Liam has found out about the two babies he is adamant that he has a magical penis

Lori. It's definitely magical Lori says reminiscing on their car session they can't stay off of each other. Definitely a couple that's not afraid of PDA

Fatima is crying she's so happy but she's also super emotional too because she's pregnant so everything makes her cry

Fatima. How far along are you

Lori. We're about 9 weeks, the babies are measuring exactly on time

Fatima and Lori hug and Zac and Liam dap each other up. They all get settled inside still very excited about the news

—

Soon after, they all go out back and start enjoying the bbq festivities. They played a few games had many laughs, ate good food and let off a few fireworks.
The kids enjoyed their pop rocks and sparklers they also did s'mores over the fire pit it was a fun night for everyone

**
Night time approaches and the kids were getting antsy because they started fussing about who's turn it was with the bazooka bubble gun. Fatima knew it was time to get them in the house so she bathed them and then put them in bed.
She does the kids usual night routine and read them a bedtime story just like she does every night. She read the story in Jojo's room so she carried Jax to his room through the bathroom, - they're rooms are a jack and Jill set up. She gets him tucked in nice and tight like a "burrito" just like he likes it. Once both kids were settled in bed she went back downstairs to join the others. They laughed more and played more games. Liam may have went a little overboard on liquor because he kept trying to have a dance battle, couple vs couple.

Lori. We really have to do this again soon, Lori says to Zac and Fatima as they start their goodbyes for the night

Fatima. Yeah we do that was so much fun

Lori. Let me get this fool home Lori says while watching Liam try to learn the Tamia line dance even though he has two left feet and no rhythm.
Him and Zac where both watching a YouTube video on the living room tv because they are determined to learn the dance. The ladies laughed because they just couldn't get the cross over part down.

Fatima. People act like it's geometry in that dance Fatima said shaking her head..

There was a knock at the door stopping everyone from what they were doing at the moment so Zac pauses the tv to go get it. When he opens it, he is shocked by the person on the other side

Fatima. Who is it Zac? she yelled form the living room
