Mourning The Losses (Erik Jones Fanfic)

Trips Chapter 33

We started on the drive to Talladega. "The next boy I have, his name is going to be Dave." I told JH. "Just like Landon's name?" He asked. "Yeah, just like Landon's name." I replied. Landon's name is Landon John Harris to remember my parents. "Joe says my dad would have loved Landon." I told him. "Grandma says the same thing." JH said. "Yeah she does." I agreed. "How do you feel about the twins coming?" JH asked me. "Truthfully they are coming too soon, I wanted to wait a couple more years for them." I told him. "Have you told Erik your feelings?" He asked. "No I don't know how he would take it and I'm scared I was scared with Landon but I had you and uncle Joe and the rest of your family with me, and I'm going to be alone with two babies instead of one." I told him. "Yeah two babies would be hard, but you are an amazing mom to Landon already you'll be amazing to them too." JH said. "I know but I'm not even legal age and I'll have three children." I told him.

"You always have your aunt." He told me. "I do have my aunt." I repeated. "How has Erik been?" JH then asked. "Good I guess he's been happy about the whole baby thing." I replied. "And you aren't but you were happy to have Landon." He said. "Yeah, I didn't have Erik and I wanted Landon I don't want the twins but I have Erik." I replied. "You make no sense." He told me. "What do I do?" I asked him. "Just talk to Erik." He replied. "Yeah I think I have to talk to him." I said before texting him.

*Erik's P.O.V.*

"Hey mom." I called walking into the house. "Hey Erik." She called back before Landon went running into the kitchen. "There's my grandson." I heard my mom say I went to get the rest of our things and put them in my room. "Where is Landon going to sleep?" I asked walking into the kitchen. "I don't know, why don't you go get him a bed." She suggested. "Yeah, we will be back soon." I said taking Landon with me. "What kind of bed do you want?" I asked walking with Lan to the children's bed, I never thought I'd be doing this at twenty. "This one." He said pointing to a simple bed. "Alright are you sure?" I asked him. "Yes." He replied so I bought it and we went home so I could put the bed together.

After it was finally done we all went out to eat. "So there's a reason Zoey is't here." I told my mom and sister when we were at dinner. "What's that?" My mom asked. "Zoey is pregnant." I told them. "Brothers or sisters." Landon added. "Did landon just add an S?" Lindsey asked. "Uh yeah, twins." I told them. "Oh Erik how do you feel about this?" Lindsey asked. "Happy, I can't wait until they get here." I replied smiling. "Good, you will be even more happy when they get here." My mom said. "Daddy, why weren't you with me when I was born?" Landon asked me. "Because mommy was scared I wouldn't want you or her so she kept you from me." I told him. "Oh." He replied. "I would have wanted you and mommy." I told him. "Really?" He asked. "Of course you're my child and I love mommy." I told him.

"Mommy loves you too." He told me. After dinner we all went back to my moms house where I put Landon to bed after we talked to Zoey. "How do you really feel about the twins?" My mom asked while we were standing in the kitchen. "I already love them and they were only created a month ago." I told her. "And what does Zoey think?" She asked me. "I don't know we haven't talked about it since our fight." I told her. I went to call Zoey so we could talk. "Hey Zoey, how do you feel about the twins?" I asked her. "I'm not ready for them, I love them and everything since they are my babies but I'm not ready for this, they are coming way too soon, I wanted to wait a couple more years for them when we know that we weren't going to leave each other." She told me.

"Yeah that would have been a good idea, what are you thinking?" I asked her. "Nothing, babe I'm not hurting our twins and I'm not leaving you." She told me. "Ok, that's all I want to know the fact that I don't have to miss my babies growing up." I replied. "I love you, I'll call you and Landon tomorrow." She said. "Alright bye I love you." I replied.

*Zoey's P.O.V.*

The next day after talking to Erik I went to the garages with JH. "Hey Gene." I said standing beside him. "Hey Zoe what's going on?" He asked. "Oh nothing much how are you." I replied. "I'm good." He replied watching the workers. "You know how we use to talk about how I'll have two children by the time I can drink?" I asked. "Of course wait you aren't pregnant are you?" He asked. "Once again only this time my moms side of the family genes came into play." I told him. "What?" He asked confused. "Twins." I told him. "Oh, wait three children by the time you can legally drink?" He asked. "Yeah and I'm just happy my babies won't be half siblings." I let slip. "Erik Jones is Landon's dad?" He asked. "Yeah one hundred precent." I told him. "How?" He asked. "Martinsville party after the kids went home and the teenagers brought alcohol." I told him. "But you didn't get caught?" He questioned.

"Because I was with Erik at his RV." I told Gene. "That makes a lot of sense now." He said. "Yeah, and he's obviously the father of my twins." I replied. "Yeah, he's an impressive young man." He then said. "He is, and I'm so happy that he's going to the sprint cup series next year." I replied. "How long have you liked him?" Gene asked as JH cane walking up to us. "Since I first saw him." I replied smiling. "Well get back to work." I said to the guys.
