His Forever Flame

50. Cabin Life

They got to the cabin and settled in for the night. Lauren nursed the twins while Jay made sure Mouse had everything he needed downstairs. He came back up and helped her with Jayla's inhaler before they settled the twins in their cribs for the night.

Once everyone was settled they went to bed. Jay pulled Lauren close softly kissing her forehead. "This is nice," she whispered glad to get away for a bit.

"It sure is. Mouse even said he'd keep the twins one night if we wanted to go out. There's this new restaurant opening in town I thought we could try," he smiled.

"Yea ok sounds fun," she smiled at him softly kissing his lips. She loved her babies, but she loved date night with her husband too.

They were both exhausted from the past few days events and they both fell sound asleep rather quickly. They slept all night. Since she'd been giving the twins some cereal with their milk they'd been sleeping longer and were finally sleeping through the night.

Mouse was up making breakfast the next morning when Jay woke. He tucked Lauren into bed and went to join his friend.

"Morning," Jay smiled pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"Morning," Mouse said flipping the bacon he was frying.

"Smells good. You didn't have to cook though," Jay said.

"I know. But I was up and wanted too," Mouse said giving him a grin. "Besides I figured you might be sleeping in," he said with a smirk.

Jay laughed ; "Na. She's out. She needs the rest after these last few stressful days."

Mouse nodded. Jay helped Mouse with the eggs until he heard Lauren. He went to check on her when he heard her in the bathroom.

"You ok?" he asked through the closed door. When he didn't get a response he tried the handle. Luckily she hadn't locked it. "Baby?" he asked kneeling down beside her.

"I'm ok. Just felt queasy," she said. She was kinda pale so he got a cold wash cloth and laid it on the back of her neck.

"Well we're just gonna take it easy today."

"I'm ok Jay I promise," she said settling back against him as he pulled her into his arms. She never got sick she just felt like she could. They both just assumed the stress was finally catching up with her.

Jay tucked her back into bed and went and got the twins. Jayden was fussing and Jayla was just starting to wake. "Good morning daddy's loves," he cooed picking them up and changing them.

Jayden fussed more until he took them to Lauren. He helped her get them fed and she was still kinda pale. Once the babies nursed he took them to their bouncy seats in the living room to play.

He went to the kitchen to fix Lauren some cheese grits. "What are you doing?" Mouse laughed as he dished up their breakfast.

"Lauren doesn't feel good so I'm gonna make her some cheese grits."

"Some what?" Mouse laughed watching him.

Jay laughed, "Chasse grits. Don't worry I had the same reaction when she first asked for them but they're not bad."

Mouse laughed, "Ok I'll take your word for it."

Jay took her the grits once he had them ready and Mouse ate in the living room with the babies. He'd turned Mackey Mouse on for them and they were just watching it totally enthralled. He couldn't help but laugh at them a little. They were priceless.

Jay joined him after making sure Lauren was fed and back and asleep.

"She ok?" Mouse asked.

"Yea. I guess all the stress just caught up with her. She's asleep now."
