You Changed Me

Robyn's POV

"Shit...we've gotta go Christmas shopping soon." I groaned. I always do everything last minute...the girls get off of school for winter break, starting tomorrow.

It's so different here than in Oklahoma. The weather is always nice, more things to do, and sometimes, I skip what day it is in my head! It's already the middle of December, and it feels like April!

"We can go today if you want." Chris suggested as he looked at his gold watch.

"I guess so. I'm down for a challenge." I laughed to myself. Hopefully we can get all the shopping done today so I can come back home and enjoy watching Friends reruns like I always do!

"Mama, can you pick up the Elyse today? And Alicia as well....we are gonna get our shopping done." I asked mama as she came into the living room with us.

"Yeah that's fine." She told me with a smile.

"Thank you! I'm gonna go shopping for you too!" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and went to get my shoes on.

"We ready?" Chris asked as he opened the front door.

"Yep!" I said putting on a Northface purple jacket.

"Hold up!!!! I wanna come too!!!" Jasmine pouted like a little girl, putting her shoes on and ran to us to Chris' car.

I got into the backseat, since that's where I'm usually at. I had more room to expand myself and the twins inside me. The drive there was luckily not that long.

"This is such a beautiful mall." Jasmine looked up at the glass ceiling, which was a beautiful view of the sky.

"Where should we go first??" Jasmine asked as I shrugged.

"Well, who are you buying for today? Or plan to?" I asked her as she got out her phone to show me a list.

"I've got you, things for the twins, Alicia & Elyse, Chris, Mama, Jake-" I stopped her and crossed my arms. Her and Jake are serious?? She didn't tell me!!!

"Please tell me he's at least getting you somethin'!" I told her as she nodded.

"Well duh! I wouldn't just get a present for someone, besides family, if they don't give me something back!" She laughed. Well that's good.

"It's getting serious though huh?" I asked Jasmine as we walked into a toy store. Chris was already looking at things for the girls & the twins at the same time. Aww.

"Kinda....he's just super sweet. And I think he likes me as much as I like him." Jasmine blushed as she flipped through pages of a Dora book.

"Aww. I'm sure he does." I smiled, patting her back, walking over to Chris to see what he's looking at.

"You seem to have your hands full." I laughed and grabbed some toys from his hands.

"Haha yeah... I'm just not sure on what to get for the girls. What don't they have?" Chris bit his lip & tried thinking if the girls already had the same dolls at home that were in his hands.
