'MEETING YOU WAS ALL THE UNKNOWN' chapter eighteen.

Jesse got up from the bed, smelling  something coming from the kitchen at morning, and walks in the kitchen being surprised by his wife took over by the kitchen again baking something.

He approached her, kissing her head and shocked.

"What are you baking sweet pea?"
"I was craving some cookies—so I made some, good morning, good sleep?" She smiles and turned  around to see his face. Looking at him.

"Nah." "You get up at so early and I couldn't sleep when you walked out of the room." Jesse says quietly. He gives her a frown standing behind her, "I'm sorry, didn't mean that. But you snore like I never heard you before." She chuckles. "Miss me?" She says messing with  him. "Come." She held his hand. "Of course, you miss me, I know marriage got us this way but I want to say this for so many times that you looks cuter now and you look so good with those beards." She complements.

Damned it, what the hell am I saying, it's so corny. Billie I need you to focus not to listen on your gut.

Jesse looks at her. And his eyes gleams like they're going to say something. "Can you believe that?" He told. "What? That you're with me sleeping in the same bed and living together?" She said in amusement. "I mean, yeah." He replied. "By the way, can we visit home and invite Finneas and Claudia there so we can have dinner. You know?" Billie says. "Yeah, I would loved to..." Jesse responded.

She still calls it home though she got married.

"Only if I'm not opening the store today, I could visit your mom, and hangout with them, but I have to..." Billie says. "You know, Billie you overthink a lot things around you for other people's and that's what I respected you." He kisses her and held her.

I'm not. It's just me. Duh

"I'll be back at lunch, okay?" He says. "I will eat those cookies when I get back!" He yelled walking at the porch into his car. "Text me!" She yelled back to him.

Alright.

Claudia was almost on her due date few weeks from now and she was telling me back then in her first trimester and like we talked a lot about the details of her pregnancy she told that she likes walnuts and cherries. I don't fucking know that's how you crave when you are bearing a child growing inside of your womb. And like also tells how she was like vomiting every hour and that she was sick that my brother had to panic and like my mom was secretly laughing at him sitting by the corner, when caught him by side eye. My dad's had been always in his garage or I'll say it's junk-shop cause like he always used to repair old things we replace with new things and he was mad at us when we were like say to him that he have a new replacement for that oven in the kitchen. So... Me and Finneas had to just hide our laugh when he was like: no way, this can be repaired, well dad we got you new one. But anyway that's him, and he was our dad that made me and my brother think twice before purchasing something. What a practical human.

My mom was still and forever be my favorite human. She's that dictionary definition for the word 'Mom' because she was like taught me everything that I am doing now, Now that I am a woman and a wife on my husband that is like never was I thought I would be at while studying my graduate school degree, I love it when she was like FaceTime me teaching me recipes to do when I'm home alone and yeah, I think that's how she worries that I can't do one thing that she thought I would forget. Well mothers knows what's the best for their kids. The lesson that I learn from her was like: it's corny isn't but remember that it all takes time, but that time is worth living so just enjoy and don't let the flow urge you, because time only takes you to be responsible. It was like the calm before the storm kinda thing or I don't know. I mean that's deep.

So long and corny line, by my mom but that was what I listen to that's why I had this life with my husband now. And that was the thing I cried for. Well, my intrusive thoughts telling that sex isn't worth for waiting. And I got say fuck that. Man what the hell? What's that even got to mean? Okay anyways...
