Chasing Your Dreams

Talkin' About Babies

Miranda's pov

"I wonder if dad got the gift yet." I whisper, resting a hand on my stomach. "I don't know if he'll wanna kill me or he'd like it." Mo says, laughing softly. "Well he'll calm down within the week if it's the first thing."

Jason's pov

I can't even think. I shakily sat in my trophy room staring at that picture. Brittany stood in the doorway, worried. "You alright?" I stare ahead too shocked to respond. "Jason." "I.... Give me a minute." I force myself to get up. "What's runnin' through your head, Jay?" "I..... I don't know." I try calling her but it just rings and rings. "You know you won't get her all the way down there." She says, gently taking my phone from my hand. "W-What... Where'd they go again?" "Mexico. Jason are you okay? You're starting to scare me." "I-I'm okay. Just in shock. I guess." She holds my hand. "Maybe you should lay down." "Yeah... Uh... Sorry... I'm... I'm acting nuts and freaking you out." "It's not your fault."

*the next day*

"Breakfast." Brittany says, waking me up. I get up tiredly and walk downstairs, yawning. "Jeez! Jason! Put some pants on for crying out loud!" Oh shit! Oops. "Be right back!" I gasp embarrassed. I can't believe I just did that. "Sorry bout that. I wasn't thinkin'." "It's fine. At least the girls weren't up yet." I laugh and nod.

*one week later*

I pick Mo and Miranda up at the airport. "How was the honeymoon?" "Romantic." I look in the rearview and see those two cuddled close. "I'm guessing I'm dropping y'all off at your house, Mo?" "I uh I gotta grab some stuff from the house first." Miranda says.

I walk inside. I hug mom and the girls. "We missed you so much!" Keely says and for once she doesn't have her phone in her hand. "I missed you girls too. How's your horseback riding lessons going?" Kendyl has that shine in her eyes again. "It's great I've learned to ride bareback and we've even done tricks!" She's really close with her horse Little Rock. "I wanna see some tricks before I go back to Mo's house." I say, walking into the kitchen. My eyes go wide in surprise seeing my ultrasound on the fridge. I smile and rest a hand on my stomach. "7 weeks." I whisper. My first time with Mo. I don't think I should tell dad. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around, seeing my daddy. "What ya think about this?" I ask him. "Really still in shock. I never expected it that's for sure." "You're not mad?" "No. How far along are you?" I wince. "7 weeks."

My eyes go wide. 7 weeks. I calculate that in my head. That was her first time with Mo. "I knew it." "Please don't be mad, dad!" I don't wanna be. But it just pisses me off. "I'm.... I'm not mad." She turns around, almost in tears. "Daddy, I want this! I've missed the little ones so much. I really want this." Missed the little ones? "You mean your younger siblings?" She blushes. "Yeah. It's just... I know what it's like to be a mom but now for the first time I really will be." "I promise hun I'm not mad." "Oh thank you." I hug her. "You're gonna make a great mother." She wipes a tear from her eye. "I don't know what I'd do without you." She whispers.

*later*

"Why does it look like you were crying?" Mo gasps instantly worried. "Oh nothing just hormones. Dad calmed me down a little." "He uh.... He's not mad at me is he?" "Nope." I say, smiling. He smiles and kisses my forehead. "I love you."

Jason's pov

He kisses her stomach. "And I love you." He whispers. I smile. My phone rings. "What's up, Mike?" "We've got time for her to get in the studio if she's not busy." I look back at the young couple. "I think she's a little tied up at the moment." I say. He picks her up and kisses her. "I love you, Mo." She whispers. I go back inside. "Hey Britt, I'm heading to the studio." I call. I meet Mike up there. "Oh man, Mike you shoulda seen it." "Seen what?" "Miranda and Mo. They were all over each other." "Oh so that's what she was doing." He says then laughs. "She really needs to get that album out though." I agree. "I'll call her."

Miranda's pov

I jump in surprise when my phone rings. I grab it and sit up. "Hello?" "Hey hun, I'm at the studio and Mike's got time for you to finish your album. Ya wanna come down and get that outta the way?" Ooh! Finish the album?! "Yes! Definitely!" I cry. "Definitely what?" Mo asks, confused. "I get studio time." I say, standing up and grabbing my jeans. The ultrasound picture falls out of the pocket. My hands stumblingly pick it up. The phone falling.

Jason's pov

"Oh Mo.... I'm scared about this." I hear her say. Scared about what? "Don't you worry? We're gonna be good parents." Oh. She's worried about that? I thought she was excited!? "Are you sure?" I don't hear an answer. "Oh uh sorry I dropped the phone. Yeah. Mo's gonna drop me off." I'm worried about her. "Ok baby girl, see ya in a minute." I didn't think she was ready either.
