Mourning The Losses (Erik Jones Fanfic)

Surprise Part 2 Chapter 31

I finished getting everything ready for the boy's arrival the cards where on the table and everything was perfect. That afternoon I went to the airport and waited for Erik and Landon to come back. "Mommy." I heard from across the airport. Landon came fast walking to me. "My baby boy." I said hugging him. "I have cards for both of you back home, and food." I said picking up Landon carefully. "Did you two have fun?" I asked. "Yeah, guess who came to stay with us." Landon said. "Who?" I questioned. "Aunt Lindsey." He said. "Oh, really?" I asked. "Yeah she played with me while daddy worked." He told him. "I saw you two on TV, like when you watched cousin JH and daddy." I told him. "Then you saw me being good." He said. "Yeah I saw you being good." I replied. We then went home and I gave them their cards.

Landon's card said 'We can't wait to meet you big brother' and Erik's said 'We can't wait to meet you daddy' and there was a picture of the ultrasound. "What's this?" Erik asked talking about the picture. "An ultrasound." I told him. "As in you're pregnant?" He asked I smiled and shook my head yes. "Landon, you're going to be a big brother." Erik said picking him up. "Big brother?" He asked. "You are going to have two brothers or two sisters or a brother and a sister." I told him. "Wait a minute, back up." Erik said. "What?" I asked. "Two brothers or two sisters or a brother and a sister, you aren't just pregnant." Erik said trailing off. "I'm carrying twins, it runs in my family on my moms side." I said excited as Erik wente to sit down. "This is good right?" I asked confused. "We are going from one kid to a kid and two babies that's great but it's a little soon." He said. "You do know how old I was when I had Landon right?" I asked Erik.

"Landon go play with your cars." Erik said and Landon did what Erik told him to do. "I'm happy that I'm pregnant again but I'm also not ready for two more babies I'm still a young adult about the have three kids by the time I'm 21." I told him. "Are you not on the pill?" He asked. "I am, I take it every day, Landon reminds me to take that pill by the fact that he is alive." I said. "Then how?" He asked. "I don't know, maybe the pill didn't work that day or something." I replied. "Maybe this is a little soon." He replied. "Don't you think me having Landon was a little soon, I was a teenager who didn't talk to her child's father, I was scared and I didn't have my parents." I said. "We just got together this year Zoey, my father died this year, we just got back together from a fight we had we are not ready." He said. "Do you even love me?" I asked trying not to cry. "Are you crazy, of course I do I love you and Landon more than anything but some relationships need to slow things down." He told me.

"You want slow?" I asked picking up my phone. "Darling?" He asked most likely confused with what I was about to do. "I'll give you slow." I said before leaving and calling my aunt to come pick me up. By the time she came I was crying. I got into the car and she just drove I was crying too much to see where we were going but I could tell we were not going to her house or Joe and Andrea's house. By the time I stopped crying we were at the graveyard my mom was buried in. "Go talk to her." My aunt said so that's what I did went to go see my mom. "H-h-hi mom." I said sitting beside her grave, I need you now more than ever, I'm pregnant with twins, they are Erik's too, he said that the twins have come too soon, but I don't think so, I think they came at the perfect time, Erik and I got in a fight over them and I found out about them a couple days ago so I called your sister and she brought me here."

"Mom, why is this happening to me?" I asked. "Why does everything bad happen to me, you left me, dad left me, I had Landon with Erik when we were teenagers, and now Erik doesn't want the twins." I said I then started to cry again. My aunt came and took me back to town and back to Erik's place. When I got to the door I heard Landon crying so I rushed inside and scooped him up. "Where's daddy?" I asked. "I don't know." He said I walked to the main bedroom and I could hear crying. "Go play." I whispered to Landon before putting him down and he went to his room. I opened the door to the room and he was sitting at the end of the bed crying into his hands. I sat down beside him and pulled him to me. "I'm sorry." I whispered when he started crying into my shoulder.

"Zoey?" He asked kind of stopping. "I was mad but I shouldn't have walked out." I told him. "W-w-w-who did you call?" He asked. "My aunt she took me to my mom and I talked to my mom." I told him. We moved to lean against the headboard of the bed Erik still leaning on me. "Landon wouldn't stop crying, you left he came out of his room and started crying when he didn't see you saying that you forgot him this time that you left." He told me. "I didn't want to fight with you, I never do I wanted to cool down before we talked." I told him. "Now let's talk." He said looking at me.

"How do you feel about the babies?" I asked him. "I feel like they have come to soon, like we aren't ready for them, I know you say you wern't ready for Landon, but look at what was pushed in front of you, both of your parents passing away God gave you Landon not as a hard thing you had to get through but an award for all you've been though before." Erik said he's right Landon wasn't given to me as a bad thing, he was a gift for going though both parents deaths, when I was old enough to deal with him.

"I feel like you aren't ready for this, you want things slow and for me things don't go slow." I told him truthfully. "I'm not ready for this, I wasn't ready for Landon but I didn't want my son to think of me as someone who ran away from his responsibly so I'm not, I'm being here for the twins no matter what happens darling." He told me. "You really are great Erik." I told him before kissing him. "I'm sorry for yelling and asking if you love me." I then told him. "I'm sorry for starting this fight." He said. "It's not your fault you are scared, I did something similar to this when I found out I was going to be a single mother." I told him.

"You know we haven't asked Landon how he feels." Erik said so we went to his room. "Landon do you want brothers or sisters?" I asked him. "No I'm the baby." He said. "But if you are a baby you can't grow up and be race car driver or teach the babies what you learned." Erik said. "I can't grow up if I'm a baby?" He asked. "No you can't." I replied. "Then I'm not a baby I'm a big boy." He said. We spent time as a family for the rest of the day then went to bed.
