Thanksgiving is here. This year we decided to celebrate together with my parents, Evelyn, Hana, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah and Marlene. Will and Christina were invited by my brother and Cara and Monica will celebrate Thanksgiving with Phil and his family and Tori and Dwayne just wanted to be by themselves, especially since her morning sickness is making her miserable at this time. I remember that time. Wasn't the best part of my pregnancy, but I'll take that any day for the miracle inside me. Lynn and Vicky just wanted to be by themselves and go clubbing later tonight. Oh, well, maybe next year we can all be together. Evelyn, mom and Hana came early to help me prepare the meal for later today.
After the big announcements a few weeks ago, Christina and I sat down and talked. We both apologized and decided that from now on we would listen to the other before jumping to conclusions and get upset with each other. I feel like we had a real talk for once. I mean, yeah, we talk a lot and about serious things too, but I feel this is the first time we opened up to the other without fearing being judged or misunderstood. It felt great. She is my best friend, even more, like a sister. I love her very much and it really hurt me that I couldn't speak to her.
"So, what are the ladies doing?" Uriah asks coming into my kitchen.
"Cooking," Shauna replies sarcastically and Marlene snickers.
"Okay. I could see that. I just wanted to know what we're getting to eat?" he asks with a smirk. I know what this is about.
"There will be cake too," I say and he smiles widely.
"That's all I needed to hear," he says and we laugh.
"Where's Hunter?" Shauna asks looking toward the empty living room. Our men were just there. Where are they?
"Uncle Four is showing him the birdies," he answers and I get curious. I walk toward the balcony door, making sure not to make myself noticed by the guys who are looking over the city. Dad and Zeke are talking to each other, while Tobias holds Hunter in his arms and tells him something funny which makes the baby laugh. I smile to myself and rub my belly. He's going to be such a wonderful father.
"Isn't he adorable?" Evelyn asks next to me. I startle a little, not expecting anyone close to me. I look around and, apparently, all the women joined me.
"My son or yours?" Shauna asks with a chuckle.
"Well yours is adorable by default, being a baby and all," Evelyn says smiling. "But I actually meant mine," she clarifies.
"He's going to be a great dad," Hana comments.
"I agree," mom says.
"Hey Four," Uriah says in a sing-song voice as he exits the room and goes to join the men. Tobias turns around confused at first but smiles when he spots me only to look surprised toward all the women staring at him. "You are so adorable," Uriah says teasingly. At that Tobias looks first confused then glares at our friend before punching him in the arm. "Ow" Uriah cries out. Hunter starts laughing hysterically and dad and Zeke join the little boy. Tobias hands Hunter over to his father who shows him off, for the millionth time, to my father.
"What are you ladies doing?" Tobias asks with a grin.
"Admiring your daddy skills," Marlene says and Tobias blushes a little.
"You saw that, huh?" he says rubbing the back of his neck a little embarrassed.
"No need to be embarrassed, sweetie," Hana says.
"Yes, son. If you are half as caring and sweet with your kids as you are with your best friends', although I'm sure you'll be twice as good with your own, then you'll make a great dad," mom says praising my husband, making him blush really bad.
