How Complicated Can It Get

Chapter Six

  Three days later I woke up with Jake asleep next to me, and my children snuggling together on the couch. A smile spread across my face knowing my children were here with me, but I was sad that it had to be under these circumstances. "Hey Janey. How are you feeling." Jake said, as he reached his hand over to me. I told him I was feeling much better now that our children are her. "I called them last night, after the doctor examined you and the baby." The baby, oh my god the kids. "Jake did you tell the kids about the baby? How did they take it?" I asked Jake so frantically. "Honey, Honey calm down. I haven't told the kids yet. They wouldn't let me. They wanted every little detail about what happened." Jake and I were laughing, when all the sudden we heard "Mamma." Our heads shot toward the couch to see Lauren awake. "Hey Lauren." I smiled as Lauren moved off of Harley's lap and over to my bed. She sat down on the bed in between Jake and I. "Mamma you're awake. We were all so worried about you." She pulled me into a hug, which brought pain to my stomach. Once I winced in pain she pulled immediately pulled back and asked me if I was okay. "Yes sweetie I am fine, ummm, it's just that my side hurt when you pulled me into the hug." She was so upset that she made me feel pain. "Lauren sweetheart , don't worry about me I am fine now. Sorry for the scare." Lauren sighed, and all the children finally woke up. "Mamma. Thank god you are okay." Luke yawned and walked over to my side of the bed, and was very careful not to land on my leg. "Yeah, I am just fine you guys. I can't believe you guys are here." I said as I sat up to make more room. Your mother and I have some big news to tell you."
