Gaining Sweet Love (Erik Jones fanfic book two)

Chapter 12

"You'll see them soon." Kennedy said before turning the TV onto the race. "See." Blair said as the TV showed Erik holding Landon and they were talking to each other. "My men." I said before texting Erik. They moved onto someone else while Erik took out his phone and then called me. "Zo what's going on is your family working hard?" He asked. "Mommy." Landon said and I could tell he was trying to get the phone. "The guys are." I replied. "Landon wants to talk to you." He said before giving Landon the phone. "Hi mommy." He said smiling. "Hi little man what's going on?" I asked. "Waiting for race." He said. "Alright well I think pre race things are going to start so you have to go but I'll talk to you before bed." I said.

"Ok mommy i ove you." He said. "I love you too and tell daddy I love him." I replied before we hung up. "I miss them, can we go see them?" I asked. "No, you have to stay here." Andrea said. "I want my babies." I said before starting to cry. "Uh," Kennedy said confused. "It's the pregnancy, she will be ok." Andrea said hugging me. "I want Erik." I said before crying even more. "Hey hey hey, you'll see them soon enough." Wendy said. "Oh boy he's finishing P15." I said at the end of the race. "I want to go to Pocono next weekend." I then said before answering Erik's call after his interviews. "Hey baby, good try out there." I said.

"Thanks, after that finish I can't wait to go home and snuggle with you, I really want you to come to Pocono with us." He said. "And I will, but can we let Landon go with John Hunter?" I asked. "Yeah sure where is his race?" He asked. "Texas, can I talk to my little man?" I asked. "Yeah sure and if your family wants they can take Landon speaking of him." He said handing the phone to Landon. "Mommy daddy." He said. "Daddy didn't do very good did he?" I asked. "No uck." He said. "No uck?" I asked confused. "Uck uck." He replied. "Luck?" I asked. "Ya uck." He replied and I knew he was smiling. "Are you and me together daddy's lucky charms?" I asked. "No you me Te-a Ro." He replied and I could picture his smile. "Yeah all four of us are his good luck charms." I said also smiling.

Wednesday came and I woke up early to make breakfast then I woke up Landon. "Mommy daddy sad." He said. "Yeah do you remember when you met daddy and grandma and grandpa Jones and aunt Lindsay?" I asked. "Grandpa left." He said. "Grandpa died, well that was a year ago today so daddy's really sad." I told him. "I give him hugs." He said running into our room I followed and saw him cuddled up next to Erik so I took a picture of them went to Instagram and posted it with the caption "Erik's going to be sad today I told Landon why and he just went to cuddle with daddy." I joined them soon after and Erik woke up when I joined. "Hey baby girl." He said.

"Hey Erik, I have food ready." I said kissing him then getting up and getting Landon some breakfast. "Hey Zo what's with all of this?" Erik asked walking into the room. "I just thought today and all, we should have a nice breakfast." I replied. "My dad died today last year." He said hugging me. "Hey, baby it's ok just think of it this way today last year you got a wonderful son." I told him. "It still doesn't bring back my dad." He said which I pulled away from him picked up Landon and went back to hut him. "Yeah but we got this little man and you're an amazing father to him just like Dave was with you and Lindsay." I told him. "Yeah true, thank you." He said kissing me. "Me." Landon said pointing to his cheek. Which we kissed the opposite side of each other.

Erik posted a picture on Instagram of the anniversary of his dad passing and it was beautiful. Then I posted one of us the day Erik's family heard the news that Landon is his and posed it with the caption "today last year his family found out Lan is his and then they lost Dave, I'm happy I was able to give him a grandson before he passed away and now both Lan and I are here to help them and the twins will be able to help them starting next year." Erik smiled when he took out his phone and  unlocked it then came over and hugged me. "Your welcome Erik." I replied patting his arm that was around me. We went back to the bedroom and had family snuggle time until Erik made lunch then we all made dinner that night after snuggling again.

We packed up and started the drive do Pocono. Landon was with John Hunter for the weekend and we were talking about random things young adults talk about who don't have a two year old and twins on the way. "This is the first time I've talked about anything other than children since the party at Martinsville." I told Erik. "Wow that long?" He asked. "Yeah people's lives change when you get pregnant." I told him. "I wish you would have told me, I would have helped my dad could have had more time with Lan." He said. "I know but I was protecting everyone, you from being distracted, him from traveling all the time but that didn't work because you're kind of distracted and he's traveling a lot." I said.

"I'm sorry I'm always traveling." He said taking my hand in his. "I don't blame you, it's just children need one place to live." About ten hours later we were in Pocono so we took the suitcases inside then we went to bed. The next morning I woke up with Erik gone. I went to the garage area and saw Erik with some girl. "Hey baby." I called walking into his garage area. "Oh hey babe, this is Delilah." He said before adding "Delilah this is my fiancé Zoey." We shook hands and said hi. "Who's this?" I asked. "Delilah is Chris's friend's niece, she wants to see if NASCAR garage life is for her and I've been talking to her about the different jobs." He said opening his arms for me to hug him which I did. "He was also telling me how much he loves you, and your son and your daughters." Delilah added.
