Real House

Chapter 3

Tori POV

"Liz take this bag," I say handing her one of the grocery bags, "Then go open the door and tell Jess to come and help take these groceries in." I tell her giving her the house keys as I unhook Jori from her car seat, taking her out.

"Hey Tori." I hear Jess greet me.

"Hey Jess, did you and Jade finish cleaning?" I ask as she takes some bags and we start to carry them to the house while I carry Jori in my other arm.

"Yeah, we finished." She says as we make it inside. Jade comes to me taking Jori and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey, how was your day?" she asked following me into the kitchen. Jess walks back out with Liz to get the rest of the bags has I start to put the food away.

"Long. Your kids are a handful." I say gesturing to Jori and Liz has she comes back into the kitchen. Smiling sheepishly has she walks back out with her head down. Jade laughs kissing Jori's forehead.

"Come on Tori I'm sure it wasn't that bad?" Jade says shrugging her shoulders like its nothing and I scoff.

"Yeah right, Jade you weren't with them the whole day. Liz kept touching everything on the shelves, trying to sneak off when she thinks I'm not looking, putting unnecessary things in the shopping cart that she thinks she "needs," she would mess with Jori to make her cry, and then when Jori would cry, she has a tendency to mess with everything." I take a deep breath before I continue my rant. "She would grab everything I would sit next to her trying to open it. If I replaced whatever she had with one of her toys she would start babbling at me then pouts forcing out tears." I explain finally breathing when I finish. I sigh loudly. I didn't even notice through my rant that I put everything away besides the decorations for Bj's birthday party.

"Damn," Jade starts to laugh. Since she thinks this is so funny she can go shopping next time with them. She wont be laughing when they do it to her. "Jori pulled out the 'Vega' pout on you. Did you give in?" She asks and I shake my head.

"Jade I invented the 'Vega' pout so I can resist it. You're the one that always gives in." I say remembering every time Jori or I would use the 'Vega' pout on her. She always gives in, but the down side to using the 'Vega' pout on her for me is she thinks it's sexy and jumps me. So I only use the pout when I absolutely need to.

"I can't help it. How can you resist this face?" Jade asks turning Jori around to face me. Jade whispers something in Jori's ear and I guess she understands because she starts to pout. I can't help but smile at how cute she looks.

"I can resist that face because it looks like mine." I say cockily looking at the pouting baby. Man those scientists are amazing. Blank sperm cells, putting our DNA into it and they make this little bundle of Joy we call our baby.

"Your mommy sucks." Jade says giving up knowing I'm right. She starts to tickle Jori making her laugh.

"Whatever," I say bending down putting the party stuff on the counter. "Now the party." I say just letting it hang in the air and she groans rolling her eyes. What the hell is the deal with her and doing this party. All last night and all day today I tried to figure out what her problem is but I always come up with nothing or my worst reason. I rather not talk about it. I want to cry every time I think about it. I'm scared if I ask Jade if that's the reason I might be right and I'll be broken hearted. Something I don't want to become.

"Jess come get Jori." Jade calls to Jess. Jade kisses Jori's forehead before handing the baby to her little sister and has them both leave the room.

"You have everything you need in these bags." I say gesturing to the many bags on the island. She groans again. I look up at her and her head is buried in her hands.
