Head over Heels 3| j.b

bed rest.

The flight and the baby shower was very tiring and I needed to go to bed after a long day. I was kinda nervous what tomorrow would bring since Justin, Audrey, and I would be going to the doctors' office as a family. I want Audrey to be more involved in her brothers' life, not that she won't but I didn't want her to feel like an outcast too. When I got up from my nap, I read the clock, seeing it was twelve in the morning, I went to go use the bathroom, splashing water on my face, heading downstairs into the kitchen. When I opened the fridge, I saw the box of strawberries, I grabbed the box sitting it on the counter, grabbing a bowl, starting to put some in there one by one. I sat there on the kitchen floor with my bowl full of strawberries next to me, squirting whip cream into my mouth.

"Mommy, what are you doing on the floor?" Audrey asks sitting beside me.

"Just eating strawberries, here, have some," I said offering her some. She grabbed a couple from the bowl, beginning to eat them.

"You know daddy and I picked these for you. We had lots of fun, we went bowling the next day, and then we went shopping with grandma Carmen. I saw him one night, he was alone, he looked sad."

"What was he sad about? Was it Jessa?"

"I don't know. Maybe. I asked him, he said he was okay, maybe he was tired."

"Yeah, that could be it. He didn't take his medicine when you were with him. You know he's making everything possible for you, even though we aren't together. I respect him for that, I respect him for a lot of things. Including Justin. Justin loves you very much."

"I know. I love him too."

"Where is he anyway?"

"I think he fell asleep in my room, we were watching Minions, eating ice cream. I couldn't sleep, I saw the light on. I figured you were in the fridge. You're always eating."

"Okay, that was very insulting. I'm carrying your brother and he needs to eat too y'know." I said.

"I know. Can't wait to go to the doctors' office with you. It'll be fun, right?"

"Yeah, it'll be fun. Nothing to worry about. They're just going to check to see if Issac's okay that's all. It won't take long."

"There's a father-daughter dance next weekend, do you think Justin would come?"

"Uh, yeah, of course. You should ask him, hopefully, he doesn't have any plans next weekend. Wow, a father-daughter dance, how come you're just now telling me this?"

"I don't know. I forgot."

"Okay, well that means we should find you a dress. You know, something cute, and girly, and sparkly." I said tickling her. "You're different out of all the other kids, different is good. Don't think that it isn't. People will make fun of you because of that, but that doesn't mean anything. Screw them, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, never forget that, okay?" I asked she nods her head eating another strawberry.

"What the hell are you two doing?"

"Language," Audrey says.

"I'm sorry, won't happen again. I promise. I thought you were in bed."

"I couldn't sleep, so I came down here. I knew she was eating." She says, Justin and I both giggled. He sat next to me eating a strawberry.
