Irresistble (Jay Halstead Story)

Chapter 33

*1 month later*

Val's POV
The investigation has been on going for the search for Alex. There's has been some leads but not as much evidence to knowing his whereabouts. Jay hasn't been home that much since him and the gang have been so focused on the investigation. I've been at home with the kids, keeping them and myself occupied from all of this madness.

The kids birthday's are tomorrow and the planning has been hectic. I really can't believe Halston and Kai are about to turn 3. They are growing to fast for me.

"Mama when's our party?" Halston asked

"It's tomorrow baby. Are you excited?" I say

"We're super excited!" Kai cheers

"Will daddy be home for the party?" Halston asks

"Of course honey. Everyone will be here. Can you both please help go clean up your toys and put them away for me. I have to clean up for the floors for the party" I said

"Anything for you mama" Kai says

They both head into the living and begin to clean up their toys. I grab the vacuum and the mop from the closet and prepare to clean. I begin to vacuum the house.

"Mama we're finished!" Kai says

"Go upstairs and put away your toys in your room too please! I'll be right up" I said

As I finish vacuuming the house downstairs, I mopped after as well. While mopping, I felt a slight cramp in my lower abdomen. It was manageable but it came out of nowhere. I brushed it off.

After mopping, I brought the vacuum upstairs and began to clean upstairs. The kids stayed in their room while I cleaned. As I reached mine and Jay's room, as I cleaned the cramps became a bit more intense. It got to a point where I was getting nauseous.

"Shit.." I mumbled to myself before dropping everything and running into the bathroom and throwing up

"Mama are you okay?" Halston asks running in

"Stay in your room honey. I'm fine" I said

I got up and collected myself. I sat down for a bit trying to catch my breath. I look in the bathroom cabinet for some Tylenol to ease the cramps when I came across the box of tampons. I pulled out my phone and checked the calendar for when my last period was. It was about a month and a half ago. I'm late.

I rinse my mouth with mouthwash and then headed out to my room and cleaned up the vacuum.

"Kai! Halston! Come on babies we have to run to the store real quick!" I yelled

"Where we going?" Halston asks

"I have to head to the store real quick. Go put on your shoes" I say as I grabbed my purse

I put the kids in their car seats and then headed to the store. I pulled up to the pharmacy nearby. I got the kids out and we all headed inside. I went down to the women's aisle. I looked at their selection of pregnancy tests to see which one was best. The kids were running up and down the aisle with each other.

"Mama hey look!" Kai says climbing the shelf

"Get down right now!" I yelled quietly

"Mama can we get ice cream after this?" Halston asks

"Only if you two behave and stand still" I say

"Mama look!" Kai says tugging on me

"Just a second baby" I say still browsing

"Hi Alex!" Halston chimes

Right as I was about to look up, a hand covers my mouth.

"How did I know you'd be here today? Miss me baby girl?" Alex says pressing his body up against my back with a gun pointed to it discreetly
