"maybe i should just tell my mom alone..." i state while we were having a conversation on how we were going to tell everyone. i love jack, but i have no idea how my moms going to react to this. i don't want her to end up saying the wrong things and offending jack. that'd put the most awkward tension on all of us and i definitely do not need that. "you sure? i don't mind going with you... i mean, i had a big role in this" he chuckles making me laugh at him. i eventually nod, agreeing with how his role was vital in the situation we were in. "you did have a big play in this." i agree, glancing over at him while he focuses on the road. "i don't know though... what if she says something rude about it or even something to make you uncomfortable..?" i ask, watching as he shrugs at me. "cindy, i'll be fine. i promise. i want to be there when we tell your parents and i want you to be there when we talk to mine... we're in it together, remember?" he states causing me to let out a very long sigh at how complicated everything was about to become in our lives while he puts his hand on my inner thigh.

"fine you do have a point...we could tell them today after we're finished working... or before?" i ask, furrowing my eyebrows since i couldn't decide on the right time to tell them. "telling them after we're done would probably be best." he answers as we pull into their drive way to continue our work for the wedding coming up in barely two weeks. it's still hard to believe my moms getting married again but then i really can... they love each other so much and it's obvious. they don't care at all if they show it and i think it's the cutest thing ever. they're like one of the cheesy older couples, except they aren't that old... it's really cute in my opinion.

"yeah, i'll talk to nia on how we should tell them." i answer as we get out of the car. my only hope for today is that i don't get sick and throw up in front of them... it'd either give it away or they'd be too worried about me even being there and send me home. that's definitely not the way i want to tell them. in a way, i lowkey want it to be cute but then again i'm not prepared for that and i don't think i'd be able to keep it from them any longer. i already feel bad enough as it is and it's been almost a week since i found out. if i told them any later than this i know it'd hurt their feelings. "good idea, i'll start thinking about it too" he smiles, taking my hand into his while we walk to the back gate to begin our work for the day.

"it's kind of cold today... maybe you should work inside?" he suggests, starting to become the overprotective him he's been ever since our talk at nias the other day. i laugh a little and shake my head. "jack, i'm in sweats and a hoodie. i'm not even cold right now." i look up at him. i don't mind him being like this, honestly it's kind of cute.... it's just sometimes it gets a little much. not that this is crossing a line at all, he's just showing that he cares, i'm just worried i'll get frustrated by it at some point since i know how my mood swings have been lately.
"i know, i'm just worried you'll get too cold" he tells me as we shut the back gate behind us. "i promise that if i get too cold, i'll go inside"

"okay, yeah or if you need another jacket or anything i brought more in the car" he adds making me laugh. "jack, it's barely fifty degrees outside" i remind him. the cold is my favorite. winter and fall are just better and have the best weather in my opinion. i love spring and summer but what comes along with it? the humidity and endless rain? the higher temperatures? i'll pass. i'd choose being warm and cozy in my own house while it's cold outside over freezing inside my own house and it feeling like absolute hell outside, but that's just me.

"okay" he laughs, giving in on my side. "thank you, now i'll be over there discussing our baby reveal with nia" i tell him, watching a cute wide smile form on his face. "wait say that again." he says. "the baby part" he elaborates. "our baby" i whisper in the most excited tone i could. he smiles again and shakes his head. "damn, this is absolutely crazy. our baby" he repeats with a small laugh like it was hard to believe. "i know..." i smile, starting to get even more excited now. it's sad that i have to wait a little over nine months to see the damn thing. it should come asap. "okay, i'll let you go now... she's staring us down" he chuckles, both of us glancing over at nia who was watching us closely as she drinks whatever was in her cup. from here, it looked like water... but it's nia.. it's most definitely probably not that.
