The Roommate's

Kelisha

It was a little after six am when I got up to check in on Kendall. She was playing in her crib. I took her out and brought her into our bed. Once she had fallen back to sleep I threw on my robe and headed downstairs to make breakfast for my two loves. I made pancakes, sausages, and eggs. I had the coffee and orange juice on the counter. I was in the process of making Joe's lunch when I felt a little hand reaching for me. I turned around to find Joe and Kendall standing behind me. Good morning my loves, I said to the both of them. I kissed Joe and took Kendall from him to place her in her high chair.

Joe took one pancake and some eggs and placed them on her high chair before he took his seat to eat his breakfast next to her.  I sat down next to him and ate my food. We chatted about his meetings he had to attend today and what Kendall and I would accomplish later on. Once breakfast was finished I cleaned the table off as Joe got Kendall cleaned up and put her back  down for her morning nap.

I ran Joe's shower water for him. I started to get out a clean towel and washcloth for him when I felt his arms around me helping me out of my night shirt. Shower with me? He asked as he kissed the collar of my neck. Before I could respond he scooped me up bridal style and carried me to the shower.  Joe and I took the time out to fully wash each other from head to toe.  Joe stepped out and grabbed a few towels for the both of us. I turned the water off and dried myself off. I dried and styled my hair before I lotion my body and got dressed.

I was already dressed and showered before Joe could think twice. You Mr. will not be late today. I told him. Sigh, I know baby, I know, besides I don't want to be late. I would like to come home to my two loves on time. He said to me. I grabbed Joe's belt loop and pulled him closer to me for one last kiss, it was deep and it was a lot of tongue action going on. We both didn't want to let go at that moment, but we knew we had to. Once we had broken apart Joe grabbed his lunch, phone, coffee and bag before heading out the door. I love you and have a safe drive to and from was the last words I got out before the door shut behind him.

I finished most of the house chores before Kendall had awaken from her morning nap. I changed and fed her before I got her dressed for the rest of the day. I called Monica over for a playdate with the kids. We talked about Kendall and Michael's first birthday and how we should make it one party being that they were born on the same day. We decided to do a sesame street theme for the two of them in the backyard. It would be nice since the backyard was big and we all shared friends. Monica and I called a few places to see who had the items we were looking for.

The babies turned one in a few days. Wow I can't believe I am going to have a one year old. I said to her. It flew by fast didn't it? She asked me. Yeah and our one year anniversary as well. Right before I could respond my mom called me. Hi mommy, how's it going? My mom has been working on a few things for the parties for the two little ones. She told me she was able to find someone to make the cake as well as the cookies. That's wonderful mom, thank you. Now that is one less thing Monica and I have to worry about. I told my mom after she gave me the news. She said she and Alma were making the goodie bags so we didn't need to worry about that either.

My mom and I hung up the phone when I noticed Monica packing up her stuff. I told her to leave Michael so she could grabbed little Eric from the bus stop. Besides he and Kendall where napping in her crib anyway. Monica grabbed her purse and keys off the table and headed out to get Eric. I was upstairs checking on the babies when I heard her tell him to sit in the kitchen and start his homework.  I changed the two of them and brought them downstairs to the kitchen. I handed Monica her little one and I proceed to put Kendall in her highchair. I grabbed the spare one out of the kitchen pantry so Mikey could  sit in it. I made the three little ones some snacks and started on dinner.

I had went back to working on party stuff while Monica helped Eric with his homework. I didn't realize the time at all until Joe had walked in the kitchen and kissed Kendall and me. Hey babe, your home early. I said to him. No it's five Forty five. He said to me. Wow already? Monica asked. Yup, was Joe's reply. Wow we better go. She said as she scurred along with the kids and their belongings. Joe and I both told her they were free to stay for dinner and they didn't have to rush.  Monica said thank you but she needed to make dinner for Donnie as well. I told her she could call him over or make him a to go plate.

Monica called Donnie and he headed over for dinner. Joe and Donnie sat around and chatted while Monica and I sat the table in the dining room up. I was in the process of saying something to Joe when our doorbell rang. It was Grace, Tony, and Noah. I hadn't realized I said Noah's name really loud and with a screech added. I scooped him in my arms and gave him the biggest and tightest hug ever. I-I can't breathe he said to me. Everyone laughed and Joe had to pry him out of my arms. What are you guys doing here? I asked Grace and Tony as I gave them both hugs and wiped my tears away.

We have some news we wanted to share with you two? Grace said as she wrapped her arm around me and walked me into our living room.  Well would you like to have dinner with us? I asked her. It's Joe, Donnie, Monica, little Eric, the two babies, and I? Grace agreed to stay for dinner after I told her what was on the menu. She wanted me to stay behind while the guys walked ahead of us, including Noah.  Kelisha I need to know that you and Joe will be okay with what I will tell you. She said to me.

I told her I couldn't answer for my husband but I would be cool with anything she told me. Grace told me she would talk to Joe and I after dinner and alone. I told her it sounded good as we proceeded to the dining room where the rest of the family was seated. Grace said her hellos and gave the babies hugs and kisses along with little Eric. I took my seat back over between Joe and Kendall and Grace took the empty seat between Noah and Tony. Babe do you see how much these two have grown? Tony said to Grace. Yeah I do, I love these four babies. She said to him. I agree, they are all my babies. I said.
