A Highlander's Night

Moving in

As they arrived to the house Jess saw a blue suburban she didn't recognize. As they got out Kenzie stepped out of the blue suburban. Jess smiled.

"Got a new car Kenzie?

"No." He looked at Duncan and handed him the keys. "There ya go Duncan everything's ready."

"Thanks Kenzie."

Jess stared at them till she realized the suburban was the same from her visions. No he didn't. He couldn't. Sure enough...

"Like your new car Jess?"

She spun to start at Duncan. "My car..."

"Yes yours."

"I could of gotten my own car."

Duncan crossed his arms over his chest. "I wanted to know woman is safe in what she drives as well as any children we have."

"I could still of bought my own car."

"Give up lass this is one you won't win."

"Fine."

She walked over to the truck and looked inside. She could picture it filled with her things. She got in and moved the seat to her size and smiled at Duncan.

"Thank you my love." She leaned down and kissed him.

"Your welcome... Now why don't you and the ladies go to the store and get everything you need for the house and the stuff for the dinner."

"Alright."

But when Duncan tried to hand her his card she shook her head.

"No...No I spend my money on this."

Duncan scowled. "I want you to use my money."

She smiled. "This is one argument you won't win Duncan."

He huffed. "Fine... You have fun."

"Of course."

Duncan leaned down and gave her a quick kiss.

"See you later."

"Okay." She watched as he followed the other men to the barn to tend horses. Jess climbed back into her truck as Grace rode shot gun.

Grace smiled. "You two already acting like your married."

"Yeah I guess so."

"Winter and Megan are in the other truck with the kids."

Charlotte leaned forward from the back seat and kissed Jess's cheek.

"Everything is wonderful... You make Duncan so happy."

Jess smiled at Charlotte. "Duncan make me happy, too."

They made their way to Bangor for the big store. Jess laughed when they split into teams of two and three with baskets. Sadie and Megan went for the bathroom. Libby, Winter, and Eve got all the other little things. Jess, Charlotte, and Grace went for the kitchen supplies.

With their help she got her microwave, coffee make, silverware, pots and pans, and everything else she needed for the kitchen. After double checking the essentials they made their way to the check out. She hat to laugh when she saw everyone else were there waiting.

Jess paid everything and with the bag boys help had it all loaded into the back of Winters Suburban.

"Hey Jessie we'll take these all to the house. I called ahead Duncan is setting up the dining table in the dining room to set this stuff on."

Jess tilted her head." A small table won't work."

Winter laughed. "Its not small it is nearly 5 feet wide and 9 maybe 10 feet long."

"Whoa."

"Yeah... We'll see you at the house."

"Okay."

As Winter and the others went to the house Jess, Charlotte, Grace, and Libby went to the store. She blushed when they walked in with three bog baskets.

She had never bought so much food in her life. It was enough for a small army for a week.

As they pulled out to head home Grace turned toward her. "What are we making tonight?"

Jess smiled. "Since I noticed these men eats like there is not tomorrow. I'm making two turkeys, two roasts. Thank god for the double ovens. Stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, long beans, corn, and my wonderful buttery biscuits."

The ladies were laughing. Grace nodded to the other three.

"We taught her well in the ways of our men."

Libby giggled. "What about desserts?"

"Two cakes and two cherry pies."

That sent everyone in the car roaring laughing.

When they pulled up into the drive Matt told Jess to back up so they could all help unload everything. She did and when she stepped out of the truck it was to find herself swept into a tight embrace. When she was finally able to see, she saw her friend Vida.

"Vida?"

"Girl I am so happy for you."

"I missed you."

Vida smiled at her. "You truck big with Duncan."

Jess smiled. "Bigger then you think."

Duncan walked up and kissed her. "Why don't you take Vida upstairs and show her the secret project..."He pouted. "The one you won't show me."

Jess laughed and kissed him. "Some handsome soon."

She led Vida into the house and upstairs.

"Why won't you let Duncan see you special room."

"You'll see." Taking the key out of her pocket she made sure Duncan wasn't around and opened the door. She usurer Vida in and closed the door.

Taking a deep breathe she turned to see Vida's shocked face as she looked around the room.

"Well?"

Vida turned to stair at her.

"Are you...?"

Jess nodded with tears in her eyes. Her hand rested on her stomach. "Yes! Yes I am!"

Vida squealed and hugged Jess.

"Oh my... How far?"

"About two months."

Vida looked around the room. "But this room is made up for a girl. How do you know it's a girl?"

"I just do... I'll tell you later."

Vida hugged her again. "This is so wonderful."

Jess held her. "Since you are my sister I want you to be godmother."

"Me! A godmother?"

"Yes to all of them."

"All of them?"

"Yeah."

"How many?"

"Seven."

"Seven! Dang girl!"

"I love kids. I want to try to have seven."

Vida smiled. "Well you have the heart for it."
