Jordan and I are at Walmart shopping with Maddie and Carson.
Maddie: Can I get a toy?
Jordan: If you're good.
Me: What do we even need?
Jordan: Food.
Me: Smartass.
He puts his arm around my waist and I push the cart. He starts rubbing my back with his thumb. The kids are in the cart. Jordan grabs some bread.
Me: That's wheat bread J.
Jordan: Aw hell no.
He makes a face and puts it back then grabs white bread. Carson stretches his arms out for Jordan to carry him so he picks the baby up.
Me: You want up here Maddie?
Maddie: Sure mommy.
I put her in the seat.
Jordan: Jon wants his juicy juice.
Me: What kind of 25 year old drinks juicy juice?
Jordan: My brother.
Me: What kind?
Jordan: Fruit punch.
I put it in the cart and we grab some snacks.
Me: Jordan you literally have donuts at home.
Jordan: I'll eat them both.
Me: Yeah, in one day.
He laughs.
Jordan: You're right.
I kiss his cheek.
Maddie: Gwoss.
I kiss her cheek.
Me: Better?
Maddie: Yes.
She smiles.
Jordan puts his free arm around me again. I haven't told him but I've been feeling nauseous. It's been a month since we've done it and I missed a period.
Jordan: You okay baby?
Me: I'm fine babe.
Jordan: You look pale babe.
Me: I'm fine. I promise.
I smirk. Then I feel it.
Me: Jordan I have to puke.
I leave him with the cart and kids. I puke my guts up in the bathroom. Then I come back out. Jordan looks worried.
Me: I'm fine Jordan.
Jordan: I don't believe you. I'm driving home.
I take Carson from him and he falls asleep. Jordan pushes the cart.
Me: I have to grab something really quick.
I go to the pregnant test section and buy 5. I go to the bathroom with the baby. I do all 5 of them. All of them come back positive. I knew it. I'll surprise Jordan. I throw them away and go back out.
Jordan: What did you grab?
Me: Carson needed a diaper change.
We check out and the total is $450.00. Jordan pays for it. Maddie ended up getting a toy and so did Carson.
Me: You're expensive!
Jordan: That's YOU.
He pokes my nose.
We load the car and put the kids in their car seats. I give Jordan the keys and I slide in the passenger seat. I grab his hand and he starts the car.
Me: I'm hungry. How about we go out to eat?
Jordan: Sure. What does everybody want?
Me: I'm craving Buffalo Wild Wings.
Maddie: Buffalo Wild Wings!
We drive there and go inside. We put Carson in a highchair and Maddie sits in a booster seat beside Jordan. He grabs my hand from across the table. Our waiter comes and it's Donnie.
Donnie: Hey guys!
Jordan: When did you start working here?
Donnie: Since Allyssa wanted a baby. I know we're in a band but I wanted to make sure I had the money.
Me: As long as you're prepared.
As Jordan looks at his phone I pull Donnie aside.
Me: How should I tell him I'm pregnant again?
Donnie: I can give you an extra menu.
I laugh.
Me: Sure.
I sit back down.
Donnie bring 3 kids menus.
Jordan: Uh Don, you gave us an extra menu.
Donnie: Nope. There's just enough.
He looks confused.
Me: I'll have a cheeseburger and onion rings.
I look at me stomach and open the extra menu.
Me: What will you have?
Jordan: Huh?
Then his confused face turns into an excited face.
Jordan: Are you...
Me: Yes.
I smile.
He squeezes my hand.
Jordan: This is amazing.
Me: Maddie you're going to be a sister again.
Maddie: I hope it's a baby sister.
She's coloring a coloring page.
Donnie: Congrats guys!
He takes our orders and Jordan can't stop smiling. Neither can I. I love my family.
