Fourth of July

Chapter 37

"So what is this again?" I asked.

"My sister's rehearsal dinner, I've told you this a million times," Jamia said, rolling her eyes

"I always forget that the dinner is the night before the wedding," I said. "Do we need to bring a gift?"

"No but I've got the present for tomorrow at the wedding," she said.

"And we need a babysitter for the kids," I said.

"No, this is a pretty casual event so kids are welcome, they're just having it at their house," she said. "They're having the big wedding tomorrow so they just wanted something simple today. Also sorry for doing this to you, you weren't gonna go but now you're being dragged in at last moment because you're with me."

I smiled, giving her a kiss.

"It's fine, I'm excited to be able to dance with you all night tomorrow," I said. "And you look so cute."

I looked at her black dress with the black cardigan and black heels. She blushed softly, leaning up to kiss my cheek.

"Go get dressed, I'll get the boys dressed," she said. "I got the cutest little outfit for Miles."

"I'm glad you like them so much because if you weren't okay with them then that would be a deal breaker," I said.

"I love kids," Jamia said. "I love them."

I smiled, brushing the bangs off her face. I caressed her cheek gently and pressed my lips against hers. I held her close to me, my tongue running along hers.

"Go get dressed, you fool," she said, swatting my shoulder. "We're gonna be late."

I smiled and went upstairs. I dug around through my closet, trying to find something nice to wear that wasn't too fancy. I put on a pair of my black jeans and a navy blue sweater. I fixed my hair in the mirror, biting my lip. I put on my black Doc Martens before walking out. Gee was waiting, dressed in a big, pink sweater with a white skirt, white thigh highs and his jelly shoes.

"Where's mommy?" I asked.

"Upstairs with baby," Gee said.

"Go get your backpack," I said.

Gee hurried and went upstairs before coming back with his little Care Bear backpack. I put in a couple little toys along with some snacks and his sippy cup.

"Alright, here we are," Jamia said.

She walked down the stairs and I gasped softly when I saw Miles. He was wearing a white long sleeve baby bodysuit that had tan colored fake suspenders on the front and a little baby blue bowtie. Along with that he had on a pair of dark grey color pants and grey socks.

"He's so cute!" I cooed, taking Miles from her.

"I wanna see!" Gee exclaimed, running into the room. "He's so cute!"

We chuckled softly and got into the car. We drove to her sister's house and I smiled when we walked in. Her sister, Ashley, was over in the kitchen, talking with Evan and her parents.

"Hey," Jamia said, giving them all hugs.

Gee clung to my side nervously as he looked around. I gave them hugs too, smiling happily.

"These are my sons, Miles and Gee," I said.

They all cooed over Miles and I smiled.

"Is Gee adopted?" Ashley asked.

"Yes, he was adopted just about a month and a half ago," I said.

"He's so cute," Ashley said.

Gee blushed, hiding behind Jamia.
