Please Take My Hand (A BJA FF)

Dreams Of You

(Kendra)

     I was quickly reminded of what it was like to have a newborn in the house. Billie and I would alternate of who would get days, and who would get him at nights. Kat helped out a little. I was tired, Billie was tired. Jakob cried a lot. Jakob was now five months old. He had a scan after he was two months and it showed signs of progress. He’s lesions on his brain and heart where getting smaller. Some on his heart had actually gone away. We had him on a special formula that was building his immune system. He’s due for a checkup in a week. Billie had been taking Kathy to school and dance while I stayed home with Joey and Jakob. I didn’t want to take him out too much because I didn’t want to risk Jakob getting sick until his immune system was higher. I was rocking Jakob trying to get him asleep while Billie had Joey a bottle laying him down. Joey eats table food now but he still likes to sleep with a bottle. It’s kind of like a security blanket. After he falls asleep we take it away. Kathy was sitting on the couch by my chair watching. Her eyes looked really heavy as she had her head rested against the back of the couch.

“Why don’t you go to bed baby?” I asked her softly.

“I wanna go up when you do mommy.” I nodded. Billie returned and sat with Kat before pulling her to his lap. She giggled a little.

“Come on Kitten, let’s get you to bed.”

“Uh Uh,” she said shaking her head.

“Huh uh?” He grunted back.

“I wanna go when mommy goes.” She old him. He pushed a piece of hair from her face and kissed her forehead. I smiled.

“Alright,” he said wrapping his arms around her tighter. They both looked to me. I smiled and looked to a sleeping Jakob.

“Well I’m going to bed.” I pulled Jakob closer as I slid to the edge of the chair. I stood holding him carefully so he wouldn’t wake. Billie stood and Kathy reached her arms up to him.

“Carry me daddy.” He chuckled and cradled her like a baby.

“Aww my precious big baby.” She giggled and we all headed for the steps. We got up stairs and I put Jakob in his crib as Billie carried Kat to her room. When I was done with Jakob I went to Kat’s room and told her goodnight. I walked to my room to see Billie pulling back the covers. He was stripped down to his boxers.

“Nice,” I giggled out. He turned back and smiled to me. I was already in my pajamas so I turned the light out and made my way to the bed. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. I climbed over him to my side and laid. He covered us up and pulled me close. I felt his lips brush against mine. I leaned forward pressing harder against them and we kissed. “Goodnight I love you.” I said when we stopped.

“Goodnight baby I love you too.” I cuddled into his chest as he pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and instantly fell asleep.

I woke hearing a giggle. I looked around to see it was midday. Billie wasn’t near in sight. I rubbed my head and heard more giggling. I got up to hear it coming from Kathy’s room. I slowly walked to it rubbing  my eyes and saw her and Joey sitting in a chair. Billie was by them with Jakob in hand. They were having a tea party. All of there backs were to me. Billie turned. “Oh hey babe. Join us?” I nodded and stepped beside him pulling out the empty chair. I sat and looked up to see two others sitting across from us. A girl who was about 7 that looked a little like Kat, and a boy about 10.

“Oh, hello?” I smiled and gave a slight wave. They looked at each other and chuckled. Kat stood and slid me a small cup and plate with a cookie.

“Here you go mommy.”

“Thank you baby.” I lifted the cup and took a sip. It was very sweet. “So are you too brother and sister?” I looked to the boy and girl in front of me. They just looked at each other and giggled. They looked back to me and nodded.
