Brantley's POV:Jaclyn, the kids, and I are finally back home. Aeri and Thomas stayed with Luke and Caroline last night and today. Plus, Thomas is doing much better.
I was down stairs cleaning up after the kids and Jaclyn came down and rubbed her hands over my back. I stood up and wrapped her in a hug, kissed her head, and held her.
B: Hey baby
J: Hey babe
B: Whats up?
J: Let's go for a run.
B: Okay?
J: The last time we went on a run together you thought I was gonna kill ya. We didn't have any kids, marriage wasn't a thought. We had just began dating.
B: I remember. You went into a gas station and got us smart waters.
J: Yep. Let's go for another one. We don't have kids today.
B: Alright. Go get dressed.She smiled, kissed my cheek and went running upstairs. I finished cleaning then went up also.
When I got to the room she was tying her tennis shoes.
J: Come on!
B: Let me get dressed. (chuckled)After I got dressed Jaclyn drug me downstairs. When we got to the park she automatically took off. I laughed to myself and ran after her.
1 hour later
After we finished our run, we got in the car and headed to Orange Leaf. When we got there I went to her side and helped her out. After getting inside we both grabbed bowls and started our frozen yogurts. Then we went to check out and I hip bumped her.
B: You got chocolate and orange?
J: Yes. It's my favorite.
B: you are so gross.
J: You love me.
B: You're right.I laughed and gave her a kiss. After I paid, we walked around the shopping center outside. We talked for three hours then headed back to get the kids.
We pulled into Luke and Caroline's driveway and I saw Aeri running around with Caroline. I smiled and got out with Jaclyn.
When we got out Aeri finally saw us she smiled and ran to me. I smiled and swept her up.
B: Hey baby girl.
A: Hi daddy
B: Have you had fun with Aunt Carol?
A: Yeah. We went swimming, shopping, ate ice cream, slept, then played outside with Aunt Carol.
B: That sounds awesome!Aeri nodded and laid her head on my shoulder.
B: Let's go find your brother.
I went up to the porch and sat down next to Caroline.
B: How were they?
C: They were good. Thomas was a little fussy last night. Nothing seemed to make him happy. I gave him some Tylenol and he laid with Luke in the recliner and was content. So needless to say they laid in the recliner for a couple hours.
B: Thank you for keeping them.
C: No problem. How are you and Jaclyn doing?
B: I don't know, we are touch and go. This morning we have been good,but yesterday we fought off and on. We ended up yelling and the kids walked in on it.I looked at Aeri and she was passed out.
C: Luke and I have gone through rough patches. We sent the kids to Blake's house for a couple nights so we could yell, fight, and do whatever we needed without the kids being here. If you need the kids gone for a night just call me. I will come pick them up and keep them for a couple of days.
B: Thank you.She took Aeri from me and swung on the porch swing with her. I went inside and found Thomas asleep on Jaclyn's chest. Luke was in the kitchen with Til.
L: Hey.
B: Hey. Hey Til.
T: Hey.
B: How have you been?
T: Good.I smiled and patted his back to go see Jaclyn and Thomas. She was laying on the couch almost asleep.
