With Me

Chapter 25 Jordan

Thanksgiving

A week later and it was Thanksgiving. Ava has moved in with me. We have rented out her apartment at the moment. The same reason I haven't asked her the other question yet. I wanna know what my family thinks. I know what Joe thinks and he loves her. He also can't wait to be an uncle again. I know Tiffany will love her. Because of the golden child doesn't so I know Mom will hate her. Dad will be alright with it.

We driving up to the old family home in Boston. I'm taking the SUV because of Ava. It's a long trip from New York, about 5 hours. Hence why I have two houses one in New York when I work and one in Boston so I can relax and be at home. I am thinking the of having one in LA or Miami. Not sure which but it has to be near a beach or has its own private one.

"Are you sure you going to be alright for the long journey. We could have gone by train".

" What did I say last week?". She glared at me "I will be fine. It's more comfortable this way than the train. The train is too bouncy. The twins will move around more".

"I am just..." Another glare. I put my hands up in surrender. I open the door for Ava but allowed her to get in herself. Once she is in and I go around and get in the driver's side. I get ready to drive off thinking Ava was ready. A little I know she wasn't ready. I can hear her struggling with the seatbelt clicking it in. I reach over to help but get another glare. She struggles again.

"Let me do it for you Ava". She huffed and then let me. Ok, it's the hormones. I reach over and give her a peck on the cheek before I start up the car. I placed a hand on her tummy. " Alright, guys you settle down and enjoy the ride. We won't be too long travelling to my parents". I felt a small kick this time. I smile.

We have been on the road for about an hour, Ava is sleeping in the seat next to me. Me, I am singing to the radio as I'm driving. I glance over and check on Ava who was stirring. It didn't take long for her to wake up.

"Where are we?".

" Near Stamford".

"How long until we get there?".

" Another four hours. You holding up". She nods and closes her eyes.

"Are you?".

" Yeah, I'm fine" I replied.

"We should stop I need a pee".

"We have only been on the road for an hour and a half".

" You tell that to the twins. They are using my bladder as a football".

"Ok, I will stop at the next stop alright".

"Thanks" replied a sleepy Ava next to me.

Somehow we managed it, we got to Boston. That's a long drive and I am getting tired. We are finally in the driveway at my parent's house. Joe's here so is Tiffany as their cars are here in the driveway. I help Ava out of the car as Joe appears.

"You made it. Hi, Ava" replied Joe hugging the both of us.

"Jordan you came" came a happy screech from my sister Tiffany. She came running. She gives me a big hug. "Is this your girlfriend? Hi, I'm Tiffany".

" Ava".

Tiffany drags poor Ava with her. Leaving us boys with the bags. Both Joe and I get into the house to find everyone in the family room except my parents. No one except Joe knows about the twins. Ava hasn't taken her jacket off yet as she was dragged in by my sister. So no one can tell. My mom comes into the room. And sees me.

"You made then Jordan".

" Safe trip up then" replied my dad who has just come into the room.

"Yes. Smooth running all the way from New York". I looked around the room no sign of Jon there in the room.
