New Beginnings

Chapter 48

July 2
We are packing to go to our beach house and our family is coming with us. Zay starts to cry while I'm packing. I give him his binky. Diapers. Baby clothes. Spit rags. Socks. Hats. Mittens. We can't forget his swing, bouncer and playpen either. After I give Danny that list I pack our own stuff.
Bikini. Swimming trunks. Dress. Skirts and shirts. High waisted jeans. My vibrator.( Because Danny and I can't do anything yet)
Shoes. Socks. Bras. Panties. Toothbrushes. Hairbrush. Deodorant. Baby medicine. Just in case. I think I'm done. Maybe. I grab Zay and put him in the wrap. I tell Danny to get his suitcase and I'll get mine. Shit! I know what I forgot. I go into Zay's room and grab his extra binkys. I pick up the suit case and walk downstairs. I'm ready.
"I'm going to the car, lock up the house!"
I grab my suit case and head to the car. I put Zay in his carseat and fight with the van's back hatch. When I finally get it I throw it in the back and sit down. I'm panting and frustrated. Danny comes out of the house with my list of things I gave him.
"Danny we also need the bath tub thing so I can lay the baby in the water."
"I'll be back then." He jogs back into the house.
**
We pull in and Cadence and John are already there. Cadence hugs me and then steals Zay.
"I can't believe I'm gonna have one."
"You're very past due date."
"I know they're gonna induce me if I don't go into labor within in the next week."
"Good." I grab my suit case and walk in.
"I'm taking the master bedroom." I say walking toward my old room.
"I'm taking my old bedroom."
"Wheres your brothers and sisters?"
"On their way."
"Okay."

I pass out plates to everyone and sit down. We all begin to chatter and laugh. I hear Zay cry so I go and pick him up.
"I'm pulling my boob out hide your eyes if your scared!" I say and laugh, pulling out my breast. I hold Zay and he latches. I bounce him while he eats.  I continue to eat and chatter about memories and things.
"Mom! Theres rumors that you broke Meryl's nose again." I laugh.
"I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
"You shouldn't have done that 8 months pregnant." Danny says.
"I know but it felt good well until the next contraction. I had been in labor all morning but Hiding it so we could get the wedding over with." Jasmine smiles at me.
"What? I don't like that look Jasmine."
"We have an announcement that we found out in May!"
Be pregnant. Be pregnant. I cross my fingers.
"We're expecting twins!" I stand up and jump and my nipple comes out of Zays mouth making him scream bloody murder.
"Jumped too hard!" I say and laugh switching breasts. 
"Hey everyone thanks for the invite Jess."
Did I mention I invited Meryl and Dylan. Yeah I swallowed my pride and invited her because she is part of the family even if I want to hit her till she's in ICU. Everyone looks at me with a are you fucking kidding me look and I smile.
"You're welcome, you are family." Stupid whore.
She laughs and flips her hair. Dylan walks in with their bags and smacks Meryl's ass. I unlatch Zay because he'd fallen asleep and I pull my shirt down.
"Danny hand my something to wipe Zayden's mouth with." He hands me a napkin. I wipe his mouth and he sleeps peacefully in my arms.
"How's the baby?"
"Great."
"Can I hold him?"
"No."
"Why?"
"1. I'm not letting you near him and 2. He's sleeping."
"That's a selfish thing to do Jessica."
"No it's not and if I wasn't holding him I would've attacked you." She makes a face at me.
"I'm not afraid of you."
"You don't gotta be afraid to get hurt bitch."
