i rushed home and got inside, but to my surprise everyone was outside swimming. i laughed and went outside, causing everyone to turn their attention to me. without thinking, i jumped straight into the pool, splashing jonah and daniel when i surfaced. jack smirked at me before swimming closer underwater, i screamed and next thing i knew i was on jack's shoulders. he was walking around the pool and i was trying not to fall when he fall backwards.
jack carried me out of the water and took me inside, i looked at him with a confused expression when i realised why he took me inside. i was wearing a white shirt and it was wet, he covered me with a towel frantically and kissed my nose. jack stuck his head out of the door and told everyone that we should get ready to go, everyone got out of the pool and corbyn dried norah off. one by one we all went upstairs to get ready, i decided to wear my red sweater and black jeans. i finished my hair and makeup before going into light's room to get her dressed.
n- hi momma
a- hey baby, what are you doing?
n- daddy gave me some pictures...
she was looking at photos of jack and i from when we first met. i sat beside her as she smiled at the pictures of jack and i. she got up and looked at me, going over to her wardrobe.
n- can i wear my red sweater?
a- of course light, let me find it
i looked through all her clothes, it was a struggle but i found it. she already had black leggings on and had her sneakers by her bed ready to be put on. we walked back into jack and my room and she jumped on the bed, putting on the sweater. she had her doll in a matching outfit and it looked so planned. jack came out from the bathroom with a towel around his waist and water dripping from his body.
n- mommy, your face is red....
jack laughed as i face planted into the sheets, covering my face. norah jumped on my back while jack went back into the bathroom. christina and tate stormed in the room jumping on the bed, causing light and i to jolt up. we jumped on them and we all just laid on the bed in the most awkward position.
j- okay...
we all laughed and attempted to get up, but ended up falling off the bed still laughing. we regained ourselves and ran down to the kitchen, seeing everyone waiting. we got in three separate cars, jack, christina, corbyn, norah and i in my jeep, jonah, tate and zach in the other car and daniel went in his own because he had to pick up angi. it took us about half hour to get to the restaurant but once we were inside and sat down it was calm.
we ordered, laughed, talked about our holiday. it was nice being here, as a family. everything was fine until i felt sick inside, like i did the previous mornings. i made eye contact with tate and she tilted her head in confusion but i didn't know what to do. i was looking around the room until i looked at christina and she had the exact same expression on her face.
i was about to get up when jack put his hand on my thigh, looking into my eyes.
j- are you okay?
a- yeah, fine.
j- you seem, agitated....
a- jack. i'm fine.
i was agitated, i was uncomfortable and felt like i was going to be sick. i didn't know what to do, so i decided to swallow my feeling and smile. christina tried to get my attention but i tried not to look at them, until she stood up abruptly.
c- i need to go to the bathroom, and tate and addi have to come
she realised how strange that sounded but she huffed and grabbed my hand, causing me to awkwardly get out of my chair and follow her, with tate behind us, into the bathroom. once we were inside, they crossed their arms and looked at me waiting.
a- what?
t- spill it
a- what?
c- what's gotten into you?
a- i-i can't explain
t- yes you can
c- addi, we lived together, we're sisters...
a- i've been feeling really sick lately, and i think i might be pregnant...
they started screaming and smiling, i quickly covered their mouths with my hands and they stopped.
t- we have to get you a test!
c- i'll go now
a- no not now
t- tonight, we'll get one on the way home
a- okay
c- i bet jack's over the moon
i looked at me feet, swaying from side to side avoiding the question.
c- not again, come on addi
a- i know, i want to tell him but i need to be sure
t- okay you need to promise us that if we find out you're pregnant tonight, you need to tell jack tomorrow
a- of course
they nodded and there was a knocking on the door with a soft voice on the other side. it was angi.
angi- hey, is everything alright?
i opened the door slowly and she came in, smiling softly and looking at all of us.
a- yeah, sorry angi
t- we didn't mean to leave you with the boys, we just had an emergency
angi- oh! is there anything i can help with?
christina and tate turned their attention to me and i nodded, turning back to angi who looked confused.
a- do you want to stay at mine tonight with us?
angi- that would be awesome, thanks!
we smiled and walked out, taking our seats back at the table. jack's hand was on my back and he looked at me concerned, i smiled and he directed his attention back to the table. corbyn looked at me, the same way tate and christina did and i mouthed to him, 'i'll tell you later'.
