The Boy Next Door

Chapter 87

   When we walk into Mrs Susan's house, and the kids ran to their Granny Sue. "I'm grabbing the babies. The kiddos wanted to see their Granny Sue for a little bit so I let them come over." "Okay hun. I enjoy them." "They love their Granny Sue." "They Granny Sue loves them." I put Presley and Carson into their car seats, and grab the diaper bags and my bags and get them all together. "James can you come help me?" "Sure baby." James grabs the bags, and waits for me outside.
   I walk outside, carrying the car seats, and we walk over to moms house. We walk inside, and I set the car seats down by the couch. "Thanks babe." I say while giving him a kiss. "I'm going to send you a message on what to grab in a little while." "Okay baby. I will be over at moms house with the kids." "Okay babe." James walks back over to his moms house.
   I grab all of the bags, and carry them to my room. When I get to the second story, Presley started crying. "Mom? Can you get Presley please?" "Sure honey." I walk into my room, and I put the bags down. I walk back downstairs, and I get Carson out of his car seat. I grab a baby blanket, and I sit on the couch, and lay him on my chest covering him up with the blanket. I gently pat him on his butt.
   "So can we just talk about the past right now?" "Sure honey. What do you want to talk about?" "Did you know I was sleeping around with James?" "Well to be honest. No. I had heard such great things about him and how he was so polite and everything, but when I found out you were pregnant and he was the dad I didn't know what to think about him." "Yeah. He is such a great man. We have not had one fight yet. Knock on wood. But he is the best dad to our kids and he is a wonderful husband."
   Mom grabbed a blanket, and covered Presley up. "Well I'm just going to say this. You have gave me so much. You have given me a son, and 5 beautiful grandchildren. But it feels weird to hear you say your kids and your husband and it's weird when I say my grandchildren. It doesn't feel like you should be grown up yet. It feels like yesterday you were just born." "They always say not to blink because they will grow up quick. I understand that now that I have my own kids."
   Carson started to stretch. I grabbed my phone, and texted James 'Bring that bag of condoms when you come over.' "Were you mad at me when you found out that I was pregnant again?" "No. I wasn't mad. I just wish you would have waited a little bit longer but the third pregnancy I didn't mind because you were married you had your ducks in a row." "I can understand that." "I know I haven't been there for you like I should have, and I really am sorry about that." "It's okay mom. You are there for me a lot. Even when I least expect it. So thank you."
   Right then James walked in the door with a bag in his left hand, and Faith holding his right hand. Nicole and Silas walked in behind him. "Mommy loves y'all so much. Y'all know that right?" "Yes mommy. We know that." "Okay. I was just making sure." Carson and Nicole came and sat by me. "Mommy can we hold bubba and Pres?" "Sure Nicole." I carefully laid Carson in Nicole's arms. I walked over to mom, and grabbed Presley and laid her in Silas's arms. "Mommy. I'm holding sissy." "I see that. And Nicole is holding bubba." "Yeah."
I sat on the couch, in between them. Faith came and sat in my lap. "Did you miss mommy Faith?" "Yeah." "Mommy miss you too. Mommy missed all three of y'all." "Where's my sugars?" Faith have me a kiss on the lips. "Awe wee." Faith jumped down, and went and played with the toys. Right then, James walked in. "Look at all my babies together." "DADDY!" The kids screamed. I grabbed Presley from Silas, and laid her in my lap, then grabbed Carson, and held him in one arm.
Nicole and Silas ran towards James, and gave him big hugs. James came and sat on the couch beside me, and gave me a kiss on the lips. "Hey Mrs. Nay." "Hey James." I handed Carson to James. I picked Presley up and rocked her in my arms. "So I have been thinking." "About what?" Mom asked. "I mean I'm not going to be pregnant anymore, but I've been thinking about baby names." Mom and James just started at me.
