as we lay down on jack's bed, not saying a word, i finally decide to break our comfortable silence. "hey... do you think we should tell our parents..?" i speak up making him stay quiet for a second. "or is it too soon? because if it is that's perfec-" "i think we should... i mean i think we're serious about this.. well at least i know i am" he tells me making me playfully hit his chest. "i am too dumb ass" i laugh at him. "when do you want to tell them?" he asks me, i think and remember i have to go to my parents house today anyways... something about them having to tell something to me and jake. "well i have to go my parents house today anyways... you could just come with me and we could tell them together and whenever your mom is free we can go then..." i suggest and he nods.

"then let's get ready sweetheart" he pats my head as he sits up. i couldn't help but laugh a little at the name. he's never called me that and i can't necessarily tell if it was a joke or not but i won't lie.. i really did like it. i smile at him and shrug. "say it again" i laugh, looking up at the ceiling. "what? let's get ready?" he furrows his eyebrows, slightly laughing at me like i was a complete weirdo. "no." i laugh back. "sweetheart?" he raises them now and i nod quickly. "yes, sweetheart" i smile at him. "okay, let's get ready sweetheart"  he smiles back and my stomach begins to flutter. i don't normally like that name... i find it completely cringe worthy but with it coming from him? it made me love it more than i ever thought i would.

"should i be nervous?" jack whispers, wiping his hands on his jeans as we start to walk up towards my parents house. it still makes me feel a little weird saying parents, but i believe adam has definitely earned it. he's so sweet and everything he does for my mom is genuine. dad is probably watching down right now and smiling at how happy they are together. he's most likely so happy someone could continue to make her smile like he did. it actually warms my heart because of how happy he makes her and how loud he makes her laugh or how big her smile is when they're around each other. three years ago, i couldn't stand the thought of them together but now... i'm in love with the idea.

"why are you nervous?" i laugh as i look over at him. he looked like a wreck. it actually made me feel bad for him. "oh jack" i whisper, taking his hand. "what if they think this is a bad idea and they don't like me anymore?" he winces, you could hear how scared that made him. i start to rub the top of his hand with my thumb and shake my head. "i promise they still like you and i know they will love it... you really have nothing to worry about... maybe jake but he'll just give you a talk or something thinking he's big and bad" i laugh, thinking about how jake was already so
protective and loving over me when jack and i were first together... i barely knew jake but he acted like he'd known me his whole life. i think that was my favorite thing about meeting him at first.

"how can you be so sure. look at you, you're not even breaking a sweat!" he points out making me chuckle at him and shrug. "because i know it will be okay" i blow a kiss at him. he smiles at me as i open up the door and pull us both inside. "i'm hereee... with a surprise" i mutter the last part as i look over at jack. "wow it hasn't changed at all" he raises his eyebrows while he looks around. nobody answered, so that just made me assume they're in the back yard. "they're probably out back" i tell him as i unconsciously let go of his hand. he sighs and gently grabs it again while we're walking towards the back door. their laughs were all muffled and got louder as i opened the door more. "stay here for a second.." i whisper earning a nod from him. i leave the door open enough for him to hear the conversation as my mom and adam stand up quickly with smiles on their faces when they see me. "how was spain?" my mom asks me making me smile widely at the thought of everything that had gone down. "better than the first time" i smile warmly at them. they both embrace me in a tight hug  before pulling apart and hugging jake just as tight as i did them.

"so what was the news you texted about?" my mom asks as she takes a seat along with the others. "oh right.." i laugh awkwardly, starting to feel the nerves jack was feeling as we were walking up here. "so.. as you all know i went to spain, but i didn't go for me.." i explain, watching as puzzled expressions begin to show on their faces. "i went for jack" i smile at them. they all furrow their eyebrows at me. "and that is because?" my mom drags out, sounding overly eager for me continue on with the explanation. i know what she was wanting the answer to be, you could see it in her eyes. "we are officially back together" i say excitedly, watching as the three of them burst into a fit of laughter right in front of me.

i look at them holding the same confused look they gave me. my mom stands up, hugging me again. i hug her back, still feeling just as confused... maybe even more . "oh honey we already knew... tmz doesn't let stuff like that slide with out anyone knowing. also you two weren't that quiet when you were walking up to the house... come on out jack" she says loud enough for jack to hear. it made me realize the confused act before was all fake and i begin to laugh at myself for thinking something like that could slide past my mom... she's my mom, she knows and finds out everything.

jack walks outside with an awkward smile, watching as my mom walks over to him and embraces him in an even tighter hug than she gave me... and i'm her own daughter. "it's so great to have you back" she smiles at him, making my heart feel warm at the fact that none of them hate the idea... what did i tell you jack? "it feels amazing to be back" he smiles down at her. "now, come on over... now that we're all officially together again" she mocks me, earning chuckles from everyone but me. i playfully roll my eyes and nod, letting a small laugh come out. "adam and i have some news of our own as well" she smiles, practically squealing it out.

part of me already had an idea of what it was but part of me didn't exactly wang it to be that.yes, i do believe her and adam are the perfect pair... but it will just be weird seeing her marry another man being that my parents got married when i was six... of course i was the flower girl. they're wedding was beautiful... well at least what i remember of it. i was too young to understand the significance of it all, but i was old enough to know they really loved each other. so if my mom and adam love eachother enough for get married, i support it.

"oh come on and tell us already" i smile, waiting for her answer after the short dramatic pause she did to add some suspense. "i said yes!" she squeals, pulling a box out of her pocket to open it up and show us all the ring. jake smiles and leans over to hug his dad and i smile widely at the statement while admiring the ring. "when?"

"when is it happening?"i elaborate, still staring at the beautiful emerald ring he got her, i'm assuming since they're her favorite. i stand up and walk over to hug adam first, waiting for her answer. he doesn't hesitate to hug me back before we both let go and i begin to walk back over to my mom. "well obviously we wanted it to happen as soon as possible, but we wanted to be somewhat realistic... so we decided on having it here on january twenty third..." she winces making me smile. "that sounds perfect" i tell them. "we wanted a december one, but we thought it'd be too soon" she explains causing me to furrow my eyebrows. "mom, it's your wedding. the two of you can have it's when ever you guys want. if it's december then let it be in december." i explain. i watch as she smiles some.

"that's just a bunch to plan in two months you know?" she frowns. "we can help" jack raises his eyebrows. "you two are already so busy though... your music and her modeling along with a relationship... i don't want to put too much on your plate." she winces again. you could tell she really wanted a december wedding. i remember her always loving the idea of one. one time she talked about renewing her vowels in the month of december with my dad. this is what she wants. "we can handle it, we aren't that busy."i laugh at her and she smiles. "yeah, i can help too... i can probably even get latrelle to help too." jake adds. "are you guys sure..?" she looks at the three of us. "absolutely" i smile. "well... then let's get to planning" she cheers.
