Very, very, very important announcement at the end. Please read it and give me your opinion. It's a tough decision to make.

-February 2nd, 2016-

"Can you hand me his bottle?" Jazmine asks, looking up from our son to me.

"Yeah." I nod, smiling. She's getting better. She's still on bed rest, but she gets up to get light excerise every now and then.

And we're back home. Home as in Florida.

I hand Jazmine Xavier's bottle, then lay beside her. "What time is it?" I ask, laying my head behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist. She was sitting up, holding Xavier.

"Eleven." She tells me.

It's been a month since we got home, and two months since Xavier was born. The kids have started back at school. It's now February, Jazmine's birthday is coming up soon. My baby is about to be twenty-three. I turned twenty-five during the months she was gone. Jazmine's birthday is February 16th, I already have everything planned.

I yawn, pulling myself closer to Jazmine. "You're warm."

"Thanks." She laughs.

"Mhm." I hum, burying my face in her back.

"You tired?" She asks.

"I'm good. You need something?" I ask her.

"No, but Xavier just fell asleep, I can lay down and cuddle with you if you want." She says.

"Actually, I have to go to the store."

"Can I go?" She asks.

I nod, "Yeah."

She smiles and stands up, going to lay Xavier in the bassinet in our room. Then she goes to the closet. I follow her in there, I have to get ready too.

 I follow her in there, I have to get ready too

"Babe, we match." Jazmine pecks my lips. I grab our hats, putting one on her head, the other on mine.

"Perfect." I smile.

"Babe." Jazmine groans, trying to reach the chips on the top shelf. "Who does this?" She stretches.

I chuckle, amused at how hard she was trying. She even jumped a few times. "Okay, mama. I'll get them."

I easily grab the bag of chips for her. "Thank you." She smiles, then goes back to the buggy. Xavier was in his carseat on the buggy. CJ already started preschool, so he wasn't with us. "Baby, can we make some meatloaf tonight?"

"Yeah, babe. We have to get onions." I nod, wrapping my arms around her as she pushes the buggy. Xavier looks up at us, just watching.

"Awe, look at momma's baby." Jazmine coos, smiling at him.
