Jennifer POV

"i love you too" i say as Beau walks out of the room, i look down at my phone and call my assistant to have her make me a doctors appointment for Tuesday after i take the kids to school, i don't know whats wrong with me, I'm trying to play everything back in my head, maybe it was the pork from last night, or i'm getting a bug this is the 3rd time i have thrown up in 48 hours. i lay back down, and call my Mom

JL: Hey MA, how's your trip going?

LL: Hey Jenny, Paris is beautiful! i'm so sad you couldn't come with me! How are you doing?

JL: i'm okay i think i have a bug or something, i know next time Ma, will plan a girls trip to Hawaii or something, i came to visit Beau this weekend well the kids are with Mark,i have something to tell you BUT you cant say anything to daddy i wanna tell him, well you actual cant tell anyone i wanna tell them.

LL: Jen! you need to take care of yourself, once you get sick you get sick, baby i hope your resting and not going out all day! Jennifer you know i wont say anything i promise! whats up are you an Beau okay?

i laugh thinking my mom cant keep a secret..

JL: Yeah Ma we are great, it just blows that im not feeling good, he had the whole weekend plan i either got caught a bug or just food sickness from last nights dinner, right now i'm laying in bed well he gets me soup and stuff

LL: Baby you need to rest, one you do it will go away! i know you always hated getting sick, your a none stop person you always have to be doing something but let him take care of you, at least just for today! any who what are you going to tell me?

JL: i know Ma... i know, i am trust me, i'm to tried to fight the help, Well how do i put this, i'm... well Beau and i are engaged!

there was a second of silence and then a ton of excitement screams on the other end of the phone which made Stan pop his head into the room i mouthed that i'm okay and that i'm on the phone with my mom. Stan just nods his head and leaves

LL: Jennifer! what oh my i'm so excited for you guys! i had a feeling he was gonna ask you, you've been together for a long time, i really hope this one is your last one, he is perfect for you, he loves your twins like they are his own, you cant find that in many men, now in days, heck you couldn't find them in my time either they are a rare breed, the way he watches you, like you're the only girl in the world. Jen i'm happy for you.

JL: Thanks Ma, i know i hope he is the last, Because this will be my last marriage, the first divorce was hard on the twins i don't want a second one, the twins love him. why are we even talking about that, it wont happen, well mom i need to call the twins and check on them, we aren't telling them till Sunday/ Monday when we get home. i love you mom be safe on your trip, see you when you get home.

LL: love you baby. ive got goodies for the babies!

i hang up the phone and facetime the babies, they didn't pick up so i left them a message saying that i love them and that i miss them. i get up to use the bathroom, i feel better now that i have puked everything out of my system, they only thing i can keep down is crackers and water, i look at myself in the mirror "hmm, girl you need to clean up" i say as i grab a towel and wash my face, and putting my hair up in a high pony, i walk back to bed and call my Dad telling him the news, he was so happy for me, Beau and him really hit it off when they first met, they have boy trips a couple times with in the past 5 years, they have one planned for July with Max in Arrowhead, just a weekend of fishing, Max kept bugging papa to take him so Beau said he would on there next trip. i talk to my dad for a couple more minutes and we say our goodbyes. i scratch my chest and almost forgot the necklace Sam gave me... oh man, i don't even know how to tell Sam, she'll understand, we were never a thing just friends with benefits, we ended it a couple days ago. i text her
