Gaining Sweet Love (Erik Jones fanfic book two)

Chapter 20

"JH won mommy." Landon said Friday night as soon as he saw John Hunter cross the finish line the last lap of the race. "Yeah he did win Lan." I replied. "Call?" He asked so I called JH when everything in victory lane was over. "Win." Lan said when JH finally picked up. "Yeah Landon I won." He replied. "Good." Lan said. "Thanks Landon." He replied. "Good job John Hunter." I said. "Thanks Zoe, how's Erik?" He asked. "Don't get me started right now JH not in front of the babies or Lan." I said. "Oh boy, we will talk tomorrow." He said. "Alright." I replied before we hung up and I put Landon to bed. "Oh Rosealind, what do I do about your father?" I asked her changing her.

"Will it be like this when we're married, fighting a lot I try not to, but it's hard with not being able to talk about your grandma and grandpa when I was little." I said to her putting her back in her bassinet. "Teanna do you need something?" I asked the other crying baby. "Some mommy cuddles for everyone." I said sitting on the bed. "I hope daddy's good to you and your sister and your older brother if anything happens between me and daddy." I said kissing her forehead. "Nothing's going to happen between me and daddy, don't worry babies I'll learn to communicate with daddy even more without being mad." I told Teanna. "Nothing's going to split up this family." I then said before putting the sleeping baby down in her bassinet and then crawling into bed and going to sleep.

"Mommy mommy wake up." Landon said getting on the bed. "What Landon are you hungry?" I asked. "Ya but JH Blair and Kennedy are here." He told me. "Te-a, Ro and I are sleeping, tell JH to make you something to eat." I told him. "Ok mommy." He replied. "Wait." I said and he came back in. "How did they get in here?" I asked. "JH used a key mommy I don't open the door." He told me. "Ok that's a good little man, only mommy and daddy can open the door." I told him. "Yeah." He replied before he left the room. "JH I'm hungry." I heard Lan say before going to sleep again. A little while later I woke up to the twins crying but they wern't in the room with me.

I woke up completely and ran into the living room. "The twins." I said. "We got them don't worry Zo." JH said holding Teanna. "Oh thank goodness, I was worried when they were crying out here." I said. "Sorry for scaring you Zoe." Kennedy said. "I was confused, just like when you three came in where is Joe and Andrea?" I asked. "You and I need to talk." JH said. "Blair, Kennedy stay with my babies and my little man." I said before we went to my room. "What's going on?" I asked sitting on the bed. "What's going on with you and Erik?" He asked. "He called yesterday and asked right away to see Landon, not asking if I was ok or anything else about me." I said. "Oh." He replied.

"He doesn't think I should be making a big deal out of it but I am and I know Landon and the twins are his children but I'm going to be his wife, he should at least ask me how I'm doing with everything before asking for his son." I said. "Everything will be better when you two talk about it in person, I can take everyone to my house for the day when he comes back." He said. "We decided not to pick him up this weekend, the monday after he's done at the shop we can drop them off." I told him. "Alright, hey Zoe keep your head up go to talk to someone again." JH said. "I will we still have things to work out but someone needs to take care of our children while we do." I said. "I will, I will always want to watch them." JH said.

"A two year old and newborn twins take them to your parents house, I'll provide milk for them." I replied. "Alright that's fine, I think." He replied. "Well now that everything is good I want to play with my babies." I said and we went to play with Landon and the twins. "Do you want to watch the race?" I asked Landon that night. "Yeah." He replied climbing on the couch. "Alright you know what to do I guess." I said watching Landon as I brought the twins into the living room. "Te-a Ro, I'll tell you about race." Landon said getting off the couch and sitting in between them. I took a picture of Landon and the twins and posted it on Instagram with the caption "lan's telling the twins about the race, good big brother so far" Landon told them all about the race.

"Daddy's coming home." I said to Landon the next day when it was close for him to come home. William won the race last night and Landon wasn't very happy because he wanted Brandon Jones to win because 'he has the same last name as me' and I think that's a good reason. "Yay daddy." He replied as I sat on the couch with Teanna. I talked to Erik and we talked about communicating more and having more appointments with our couples therapist. After Teanna fell asleep I picked up Rosealind and sat on the couch with her. "No mommy." Landon said and before I knew it Landon hit Rosealind and she started to cry. "Landon John Jones." I yelled before taking his arm and putting him on his bed before taking his cars and closing the door.

"What's going on?" Erik asked walking into the living room. "I was sitting on the couch with Rose and Landon said no mommy then he hit Rose and so I yelled his name then I put him in his room and took all his cars and trucks." I told Erik. "Oh is little Rosealind ok?" He asked taking Rose. "I think so, I think it scared her awake." I said going to Landon's room. "Landon that wasn't nice." I said sternly after sitting beside him. "I know mommy." He replied. "Are you going to go say sorry to Ro?" I asked him. "No." He replied. "Why?" I asked. "I was them to go back mommy." He replied. "But they can't go back." I told him. "Why?" He asked. "Because that's not how babies work Lan, so now we have Te-a and Ro and we have to be nice and not hit them." I told him.

"Why?" He asked. "Because the are very little and they could easily get hurt if you hit them." I told him. "Ro." He then said pointing to the door. "Come on, you can see Ro but then you have to come back in here and sit for a little while longer." I said. "Why?" He asked. "Because you have to sit and think about what you did it's called time out." I told him. "Time out is no fun." He said as we made our way to Erik. "Daddy's home." He said as I quickly walked to Erik and Rosealind. "I'm sorry for hitting you Ro." He said kissing her head. "Thank you for saying sorry." I said before Erik handed me Rosealind and he took Lan back to his room.
