His Forever Flame

62. Adjustments

Lauren and Jayson were discharged from the hospital two days later. She was still a little sore and couldn't be lifting anything until her checkup six weeks later, but she was ready to get home and introduce the twins to their baby brother.

Once she settled on the couch with Jayson in her arms, Jay went and got the twins from their room where they'd been playing with Mouse. The twins babbled, happy to see mommy was home, but Jayden did not like the fact she was holding a baby and he couldn't get in her lap. So Jay took Jayson and Lauren snuggled the twins for a bit. That night surprisingly went smooth; they did Jayla's inhaler and got the twins down while Jayson slept, and then Lauren fed him and settled him in the bassinet by their bed.

They didn't get much sleep that first week trying to get Jayson on a routine and the twins adjusted to having a new baby in the apartment, but they wouldn't change it for the world either. After that first week, Mouse went back to his own apartment but would still come over during the day and play with the twins. Lauren and Jay had discussed looking for a new house that would fit them better, but decided to wait until they had more money.

When Jayson was three weeks old, Jay went back to work and Mouse went with him having received his medical clearance. Lauren was mostly healed, and luckily Jayson slept a lot giving her plenty of time to entertain the twins during the day. The twins had finally come to love their brother after about a month, and the little family was finally adjusting. Lauren was relieved.

When Jayson was six weeks old, he and Lauren both had their checkups and we're cleared. Lauren finally got the family photo shoot she wanted as well. After their appointments, they drove up to the cabin where the photographer was meeting them, and they were going to stay for a week.

They got everything situated in the cabin and the twins wanted to go out and play. They let them play for a few minutes before getting them ready. The photographer arrived and Lauren was so thankful it was a beautiful day. They did family shots on the dock and around the cabin. Her favorite family one had to be them sitting on the dock with the lake behind them. She and Jay were sitting side by side with Jayden in her lap, Jayla in his, and Jayson in between them, both of them holding him. Then they did individual pictures of all three kids before doing pictures of Lauren and the kids and Jay and the kids.

Jay and the kids were her favorites especially when he took his shirt off and had the kids laying on him. She could never get enough of her man with their babies. Finally the twins had had enough of pictures and we're getting cranky. Jayson was hungry so she took them in.

She fed Jayson while the twins played and then put him down. She then fed the twins and got them down for naps too, turning on all the monitors. She thought for sure Jay would've joined her to help, but when he hadn't she went looking for him.

She found him on the back porch with the photographer. He saw her and smiled walking up to her with one of her sheer, almost see through, dresses she'd worn when he'd snapped a few pictures of her during her pregnancies.

"What are you up to?" she grinned up at him.

"Well... I just thought you might like some pictures of just us. Ya know since we haven't had pictures of just us not even for our wedding."

"Jay Halstead you read my mind," she giggled leaning up and kissing him.

She went to change and so did he. She put on the dress and he put on the tight jeans that she liked with a skin tight black tee.

"Damn baby," she whispered running her fingers down his chest and abs.

He softly kissed her cheek before whispering in her ear. "You got the all clear today."
