Gaining Sweet Love (Erik Jones fanfic book two)

Chapter 28

"What was that?" I asked Zoey when we walked to the bedroom so she could put her suitcase back. "I don't know." She replied. "Come here." I said pulling her into a hug. "I was thinking I want to go talk to someone." She told me. "Ok, anything you want." I replied. "I'm sorry for leaving." She said hugging me. "Hey, it's ok we're twenty one we should have started to have children after we were married not when we were eighteen and you did it all by yourself for our first child which was no one's fault." I said before kissing her. "I gotta go feed Anna." She said leaving the room. "Is everything good?" JH asked as he and Joe walked into the room. "Yeah, she just needs some help." I replied. "She was worst with Landon." Joe said. "What?" I asked.

"It could have just been because she had Landon and not you and he looked almost exactly like you as a newborn." JH said. "What happened?" I asked. "Truthfully I was kind of depressed when I had Lan, and now with Anna and having twins and a two year old it's a little much." Zo said. "Well hey, we can go talk to someone and if you want you can leave me milk for the girls for the day and maybe Andrea Blair and Kennedy can take you somewhere." I said as we walked into the kitchen. "We would love to take you somewhere." Andrea said to her smiling. "Great then we can go and do something Saturday." Zo said. "Me come." Landon said hugging her leg. "Well you need to stay home and help daddy take care of Te-a and Ro." She told him.

"No." He said. "Yes Landon." She replied. "Mommy stay with me." He said. "You stay home and I'll leave for a little bit but not for a few more days." She said. "No mommy stay." Landon said looking at her with sad eyes. "Landon, I'm never going to leave you and the twins with daddy for good, I'll always come back just like daddy will go away to race cars but he'll always come back to us." She told him. "Promise?" He asked looking at her. "I promise Lan." She replied picking him up. "Ok I'll help daddy with Te-a and Ro." He said smiling. Zo's family left soon after leaving Zo and I sitting in the living room with Landon, Anna and Rose. "So Zoey, did you ever think things would end up this way?" I asked her. "No, I thought it would be Landon and me alone for good." She replied.

"Well it's not it will never be that way, I don't think you and Lan would have always been alone." I told her. "What why?" She asked. "We're meant to be together no matter what we were going to end up together." I told her. "With our three babies?" She asked. "Yeah us and our three babies." I replied. That Thursday Erik went to Pocono alone, leaving me with everyone and we had a nice relaxing weekend then a week later he took Landon to Watkins Glen with him so I could have a break.

In Pocono Erik ended eighth which is amazing for him and then in the Glen he ended up tenth which is also amazing for him since he's showing fast cars each week. "To Michigan." He said after we packed everything into the van and we were off to the airport. After we got to Michigan Erik drove us to his mom's house. "Erik Zoey the grandkids." Carol said quickly coming outside and helping me with the kids. "Hi Carol." I said when we got all three out of the van. "Come in." She said as she picked up Landon and I got the twins and we went inside. "We remodelled the basement so when you come here and the kids are older you don't have to squeeze everyone in Erik's old room." Carol told us.

"I like having my babies close, but Landon not so close it will feel less crammed." I told her. "Yeah especially when Landon's bed gets too be too small or the twins need more room." Carol said. "Hey Landon how would you like your own room in the basement?" Erik asked when we were going out for ice cream. "Yeah." He replied. "How about when the twins are bigger you can all stay in the basement." I said.

"No." He replied. "But if they see their big brother sleeping in the room maybe they will too." I replied. "No my room." He replied. "Landon, you'll always have your own room at home but when we aren't at home and traveling with me and daddy you'll have to share a room is that ok?" I asked him. "No." Landon said. "Ok, you have no say in this now Landon, when they are old enough they are moving to the basement room with you." I told him. "No." He replied. "You have no say in it." I told him. "Why don't we go walk around I can show you four around." Erik said. "Yeah sure let's do that." I replied. After a while of us walking around Landon started to get sleepy so I started to carry him and he fell asleep. "I think we should take the sleepy ones back home." Erik said looking at Landon.

"Yeah that sounds like a great idea." I replied so we got back to the van and got everyone inside then Erik drove home. "Zo?" Erik asked randomly when we got back to his moms house. "Yes?" I questioned him. "I love you, I can't wait to spend forever with you." He told me. "I'm already spending forever with you." I replied smiling at him as we leaned in close. "Cheesy." Erik said. "Just for you." I replied smiling then I got out to get the kids inside. "You tease." Erik said when he got out and I handed him Landon who was still sleeping. "I know." I replied picking up the carriers then we went inside. "Are the kids asleep?" Carol asked us when we walked into the living room. "Yeah thankfully." I replied before laying down on the couch.
