Caught Up // Jimmy Butler

Chapter 21

Allison awoke to loud banging at the door, lifting her head from Jimmy's chest she put her hand on his shoulder, "Jimmy." She whispered.

"Hmm?" He let out, keeping his eyes closed.

"Someone's at the door." She yawned, "Are you expecting someone?"

"No." He sighed, as he finally opened his eyes as the knocking wasn't subsiding. Looking down he saw Allison looking out their door to the front door and couldn't help but smile.

"What is wrong with you?" She asked, shaking her head.

"Nothing," He shrugged, sitting up, "You're just pretty." He laughed.

Allison rolled her eyes, and got out of bed to slip on a pair of pants, "Shut up." She laughed, walking towards the door.

"Hey, wait!" He said as he rushed to put on a shirt and join her at the fron door, but before he could he heard that familiar, shrill, voice.

"Allison!" Jimmy's mom greeted, pulling her soon to be daughter-in-law in for a hug.

"Oh, hey!" She greeted, as Jimmy walked out to see his mother giving, what looked like a much too tight hug.

"Hey, Momma leave her alone, she's had surgery." He let her know.

"It's okay." Allison laughed, as she finally released her.

"Oh c'mere." She smiled, pulling her son in for a hug as Allison just giggled to herself.

"Not that I don't love seeing you or whatever, but why did you just show up out of nowhere?" He asked as the three sat down at their kitchen table.

"Oh yeah," His mother nodded, "Well I'm mad at you!" She said, as a smile spread across Allison's face.

"It's 9 in the morning, and you came all the way here to tell me you're mad?" He sighed, "You couldn't call?"

"That's no way to treat your mother!" She reminded, "You never told me when you made it home or anything. I needed updates Jimmy, I was worried and I had to hear about it from your brothers. You had me worried sick, both of you." She nodded, looking towards Allison.

"Well we're okay." He breathed.

"He's still at the hospital?" She asked.

"Yeah," Allison frowned, "For now. They said he has to get past a certain growth stage and then as long as he's able to do that, we can take him home. It's just scary." She nodded, pulling up the photos of their son on her phone to show.

"Oh, wow!" Jimmy's Mom gushed, as tears prickled in her eyes, "He's so beautiful." She smiled, "Name?"

"I don't know." Allison shrugged, "We haven't agreed on anything yet."

"I like Jimmy Jr." Jimmy laughed, as Allison just shook her head.

"You're so annoying." She laughed.

"Yeah, I agree." His mother chimed in, making the coupe laugh even harder, "The hell is wrong with you? Jimmy Jr..."

"I thought it was good." Jimmy said in defense.

"How about after your Grandfather?" She asked her son.

"Gerald?" Jimmy said, making a face.

"God dammit, Jimmy. You're other Grandfather!" She rolled her eyes, as Allison held back a laugh, "Jordan."

"Jordan?" Allison nodded, "I like it."

"Yeah, me too." Jimmy agreed, "Jordan Butler." He repeated, with a smile.
