We woke up the next morning to the sound of commotion downstairs, we both sit up looking at eachother "what the hell" we both said at the exact same time. We flew down the stairs to see Harley and Jon with the twins and Jordan and Danny on the Xbox. I instantly smile I miss this craziness. JJ was the first one to look up and his face just lit up and he screamed "DADDDY!!" Immediately Victoria's head popped up from her phone and her face lit up too and they both jumped and ran to Joe jumping up into his arms. It literally touched everyone's heart watching it. They grabbed Joeys hands, you can see the happy tears in his eyes and drag him into the backyard on the trampoline, Joe still in his pajama pants and the dogs running around them. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee, Jon and Harley was already in there doing the same "So little bit, how did it go?""We talked we...well you know,shopped just kinda got back to what normal was supposed to be""Kids had a blast at the zoo, actually after the Zoo we needed to get a couple more chicks so we took the kids so Jon and them picked out 2 chicks that are their chicks when they come those are their chickens""that's so cute guys, y'all are so great with them, they love y'all so much.""We love them too""like seriously can you two have a baby please. Jon Harley I need this in my life!""Not quite as easy for us you know that""I know, well with that being said""what being said""having babies" Jon and Harley look up at eachother and at me their eyes widening""Lee"" Well...I'm pregnant again""that fast overnight" I had to laugh "No Jon I'm 7 weeks it was the night off Jessica's concert, when Joe stood the weekend in New York with me."" Does he know""Yes I told him the night I got back.""Did he take it well""what do you think look at him out there" we look out to see Joey outside still in his pajamas bouncing on the trampoline with the kids. "He is excited" they both hugged me "anyone else know""Donnie and Danny do, I just need to tell J now""Not like my brother isn't going to be excited""I know he loves them""he does, it's weird because you know Lee he was never into kids before he is different with Vick and JJ""I honestly thought I was the only one who noticed.""No trust me Mom and Dave said it too." I let out a little laugh and walked out into the living room and Just watched Joey,the kids and Now Jordan all out in the yard and I really am kicking myself for being gone as long as we were, but on the flip side I know I had to be sure of were Joeys head and heart was at.

The guys were all in back playing hide and seek with the twins when I finally grabbed my phone and checked my voicemail, surprisingly there was only 6 of them. 3 from Kay which was her normal daily check ins and Rae and Jess all of which normal what I didn't expect was to have a voicemail from Kiari.
" Ay girl what's good Cardi and I need ya, get atcha boy". I quickly dialed Kiari back "Yo""Kiari""what's good baby girl""just got your message" all you can hear is Cardi in back yelling what she wanted to say" Kiari tells her to shut up which only set her off more " like I was saying baby girl we need you we in talks for tour and contracts and Steve just doesn't get it feel me" I grabbed my coffee and headed out back, "Sweetbaby who is that""Kiari and Cardi shhh""anyways baby girl, this bitch wants to holla at you" a second later I hear "what's good""hey""listen I need you, I don't care what it costs,Steve ass I cants fucks wit dat Ukkkkrrr""Cardi I love to but I'm not even in New York anymore, I'm back in Boston""What ya doing there""I moved back to be with Joey Cardi""I don't care where a bitch at I'll come to you you hur""Cardi I don't know Joey doesn't want me to work since""girl since what""since I'm pregnant again""girl don't be fucking with me""I'm not I'm pregnant 7 weeks""EEEEOOOWWWWW now Imma be Auntie Cardi and Uncle Kiari""Cardi""girl say you do it, We will even come to Boston""Imma tell you this Imma talk to Joey and I'll call you in the morning""giiirlll you Betta you heard""I will call you in the morning""aight girl". I tossed the bench next to me and walked over to where Joey was sitting tying JJ's sneaker. "Hey baby what was that about""It was Kiari and Cardi they want to retain my services, they said they can't fuck with Steve, they said they pay whatever I wanted and they would travel down here to me."" Babe I don't know" all of a sudden Victoria pipes in "Please daddy I wanna see Auntie Cardi and Uncle Kiari""Auntie Cardi and Uncle Kiari" he cocks his eyebrow at me "what the kids met them some and they took to the kids""Do you really want to do this""yes I just can't sit here all day well kids are in school""your making another human""I know but I want to do this""fine but no flying up and back to New York""Babe I might with contact negotiations""Leesa""Joesph""I don't want you going back to New York""you can't just lock me up here and expect me to never go back home""I thought this was your home""Joey you know what I mean" Jordan seeing it starting to tense up chimes in "Hey rugrats how about I take you in the house for ice cream?""Yay!!" The twins scream and run off with Jordan. "Babe I'm serious""Joey what's the big deal anyways you can't tell me I can't go back to New York my parents are buried there or did you forget""did I forget who the fuck sat that and held you well you cried, made all the arrangements and had to watch you as you fell apart and I couldn't help you, Me!" You can see the frustration all over Joeys face and I hated to see him like this because of me. " Listen Joey if it's all that I won't do it""babe it's not that I just don't want you going back to New York""but why do you not want me going back to New York I don't get it""seriously""ummm yea seriously""You left me to go to NEW YORK" and then it clicked when he turned his back and a tear slide from his eye, my heart just broke on the spot, how could I not have put two and two together. I got up and walked around to the other side of the table we were sitting at and I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him softly. " I'm sorry baby it didn't click, I won't go""Babe I don't want to tell you what to do..It's just""oooh Joe I get it, how about if I have to go to New York you just come with me, I'm going to have to go back to put the house on the market anyways""Your really listing the house?""Yes My Joey Joe I meant it when I said I was home""alright, I'm sorry baby""it's fine, I love you""love you too""can we go in now I kinda want some of that ice cream""you really are pregnant aren't you" and he laughs, "shut up" and we headed in. "Hey where is Jon and Harley""they had to leave well you two were arguing""we weren't arguing J""tell that to someone who didn't have to bring the kids in for ice cream""really, you say that as your shoveling a huge ass bowl of ice cream in your mouth right J""well so I wanted some too" all I could do is shake my head. J and Danny headed out a short time later and Joey walked into the office were I was reading over some documents that Kiari had emailed me, "Hey""Hey""do you wanna go down to Moms and make your appearance""Yea just let me finish reading this""ok how long you gonna be""not long 10 minutes, where the kids""Victoria is on here phone and JJ is watching Ninja Turtles""ok well I gotta finish this and we'll head out.""Ok Babe, you wanna run through the drive thru and grab them something to eat on the way""yea, it's fine"" ok I'll get them ready finish your paperwork""Ok be out in a few" he headed out to get the twins ready, now that he told me what the problem was it was a different ball game, Joey is always the most supportive especially when it's something I want it's nice that he steps up when I need it, plus it's some alone time for him and the kids.
I finished up and we loaded the kids up in the Rover and out. "Ok guys what do you wanna eat on the way to grammas McDonalds, Taco Bell or Burger King?""JJ yells right away "McDonald's mommy""Taco Bell" "hey Babe I kinda want some Taco Bell too""oh my god fine I will swing into Taco Bell for you and Vic hit McDonald's for JJ and Starbucks and maybe then we can make it to Jamaica Plains" I let out a laugh, it was a rare moment when I was driving mainly because Joey couldn't get his contacts in his eyes for some reason so he couldn't see for shit and his stubborn ass refuses to have a pair of glasses for back up so he is essentially half blind because he didn't listen to wifey. After three different stops we finally got on the road, pulling up to the house at like 5. Kay was out front on the porch swing when we got there and before Joe and I could even say anything the kids unbuckled and flew out the car and screaming "Grandma!!!" The look on Kay's face was priceless. Joey and I jumped out and walked up "Darling what are you and the kids doing here, I've been calling you for three days" I look at Joe and smile""you wanna tell her""nah you do it""what is going on guys""I'm back Ma""I see that but for how long""No Ma we're back as in Joey and I are back together and working things out, we came home""for good""Yes Ma I'm putting my house on the market in New York". The tears fell from her eyes as she threw her arms around me and hugged me. I looked over at Joe "you wanna tell her the other thing""if you want" he grabbed my hand "mama there is something else""what is it Joesph""Well your going to be a Gramma again, we are having another baby" "are you two serious""yes Ma, I'm pregnant""I knew y'all were up in that room making me another grand baby""No Ma I'm already 7 weeks""7 weeks but you were in New York""yes Joey and I got set up by Jessica and Nick at her concert neither one of us knew the other was going to be there and afterwards I couldn't bring myself to pull him and the kids away from eachother and I invited back to my house to help put the kids to bed. One thing led to another and some old feeling started to show and well.... he ended up spending the weekend at my house.""Joesph you never told me you went and spent the weekend there""I know I didn't I didn't want you to think we were getting back together because at that point, she made it quite clear that it wasn't happening""Well what did I tell you darling since you and Joesph split""you told me a lot of things Ma""I told you no matter how hard you fight it some people are just meant to be together. I know Joesph knew it and I told you deep down you knew it too""I did Ma but I was hurt""I knew from that first weekend that you came home from New York for the weekend, I say it the way y'all looked at eachother when you thought no one was looking, you don't look at someone that way that you are over." Victoria runs up "daddy can we go inside and get Nibbles to play with her""ask gramma""Grammy can I get Nibbles to play with her?"" Come her"Vick walks over and Kay grabs her and hugs her "Ok now I got my hug go ahead just play in the back so the dog doesn't run away""Ok Grammy, come on JJ Grammy said yes" and they ran through the house and out the back. At that point we headed in Kay and I and Joey went out back to play with the kids, I swear sometimes he is a large kid himself. We both sat down in the living room "So darling what happened with work, I know you kept saying that the partners were the ones who be able to take your career to the next level and wasn't going to risk that?""Well when I got back from here I went in and was talking to Steve he started to bash Joey and tell me what I can do and I just couldn't. When I stood up for Joe he fired me. But it really doesn't matter by that point I was already thinking about coming home anyways. That last visit was kinda the clenched for it.""Why didn't you tell me?""I wanted it to be a surprise Joey didn't even know, I just showed up""How did you pull it all off on short notice""Danny and Jordan flew down got the Uhaul, packed it drove it back and put it all in storage. Jon and Harley kept the kids when we drove back for a couple nights and Donnie distracted Joe so I could sneak in.""Jon and Harley had the kids god how long you been back?""since Friday night""Oh""Nobody else knows I'm back, I'm going to go To Rae's tomorrow and surprise her.""Well darling I'm so glad your back I missed y'all""I missed you to Ma." We spent a couple more hours but soon Ma was getting tired and it was getting late we had to get the kids home and to bed as well. We pulled up home it was 10 the kids were already asleep and JJ was letting a soft snore out just like his daddy. Joey brought both of them upstairs to bed well I let the dogs out for the last time for the night and checked my email. I headed upstairs to find Joey lounging in the bath, " Joey what are you doing""Relaxing...wanna hop in""you know what fuck it ok" I strip down and I see the smile grow across Joeys face, "now don't think this means I'm bangin you out in the bathtub""Never scouts honor""Joey you were never a boyscout""you know what I mean""whatever". I slowly slide in and laid back against him resting my head against his shoulder. "So sweetbaby I gotta go to the studio tomorrow afternoon""Joey we have to go register the kids in the morning""what time we have to do that""nine""Well Jordan isn't going to pick me up til noon""fine""Hey what's been up with him lately, he seems different""I'm not supposed to tell you""why""because he wants to tell you""Jesus Joe what""If I tell you you can't act like you know when he tells you""fine,fine what is it""He met a girl.. now that's all I'm sayin""he met a girl really""she isnt one of those robot woman, yes babe a actual woman.""why did he not want me to know""because he is afraid you scare her""how would I scare her""your very intimidating when it comes to some people especially when it's of the female persuasion.""How so""You are very ummm how do I put it nicely""just say it Joe""when it comes to other females especially when you are looking for a reason not to like them that hood chick that you have buried deep down likes to come to play.""Stop I do not""Do you remember that poor girl Danny brought to lunch once and you ran her out in 15 minutes in tears?""Listen that bitch deserved it""really what did she do""she was only there because Danny is Danny""what""she only was there because he was Danny Wood of The New Kids On The Block she wasn't there for Danny Just his title.""I don't think so she seemed sweet""sweet my left titty that bitch was a conniving twat""really Babe tell me how you really feel""I'm not sayin I will hate everyone they bring around, I love Harley""Harley is a dude""Yea and Jon is my heart I love him to death you think I care that Harley is a guy it's about the person I can read people.""Whatever you say all I am saying is let him tell you and for god sakes if you meet her be nice""I'll be nice but bitch crosses me wrong I'll bury her in my backyard let's be real here.""Jesus Christ woman your so difficult""you like my difficult ass""I'd like to stick my dick in your difficult ass but thats besides the point""you really went there""I went there, why too much""slightly" and I let out a little laugh. I sat in there for a few more minutes before jumping out and drying off. I was in bed when Joey came out towel slung around his waist, I was watching Jersey Shore not paying much attention when I heard him "what the fuck babe you got clothes on""Ummm Yea""how am I supposed to fuck you in the ass with clothes on"I seriously choked on my Pepsi I was drinking and Joey dies laughing " did you seriously""yes I seriously said that"" your a special kinda asshole right now""Yea and what else is new""will you shut the fuck up and come lay down we gotta be up early""shut me up baby" "really""really" I get up and walk over to where he was standing and I push him up against the wall "what are you doing""shutting you up" my mouth slams on his and my tongue explores his mouth. I pull back and walk back over to the bed and sit back down, well he stands there with a what the fuck look on his face. " what's wrong babe""ummm" I just laughed and settled back to finish my show when all of a sudden his naked ass jumps on the bed and pulls the remote out of my hand and turns off the TV, " hey""now you don't think you can give me a fucking hard on and I'm not gonna fucking get you back are you""oh my god I was fucking around""there is gonna be some kinda fucking around now""Joey" before I know it I'm flat against the mattresses Joey above me with his mouth on mine and I feel his hand between my legs, the towel now laying on the floor next to the bed somehow. The pressure was building from his hand between my legs caused me to moan against his lips and I feel myself grinding against his hand " feels good""yes!!""I want you to cum for me" My nails were digging into his back and all of a sudden I feel warmth against my hand here my nails had cut his back and a minute later my body let go not being able to hold out anymore. He leans down placing a kiss on my lips well I try to catch my breath and moves to the side next to me "and you were sayin""ummm" I look over "shit""huh what's wrong""babe your back, it's bleeding I'm sorry""what I always tell you, I like it it lets me know your enjoying it""your bleeding""so what"I'm gonna get something and clean you up""thank you sweetbaby". I jump up and go into the bathroom and grab the peroxide and gauze and go back and get to work on his back, " damn Babe I fucked up your back""it's ok as long as I'm getting your right It doesn't bother me, actually when we fucking and you scratching on me it makes it even better and I didn't think that was possible" I had to laugh "Joey you a mess""what""I can't even with you right now, come on get into bed we gotta be up soon""he climbs in and I put the shit away in the bathroom and climb back into the bed, "ummm Joey""yes Babe""missing something""no why""umm you planning to go to bed naked""yea why I thought you like the view""you do realize we have children that like to sneak into the bed, how you going to explain to them what that is""your right""now go put that Anaconda away""Anaconda huh""don't do it Joey""fine" he went over to the dresser and threw on some basketball shorts before climbing back into the bed. I curled up with my head on his chest well he played with my hair and me both feel fast asleep.
