| december 4, 5:32 pm | "at first, i wasn't sure about my mom dating someone else. i was confused and hurt because i thought my dad was the only one for her but along the way i found out and eventually loved the idea of them being together. it was as if my dad sent adam to her saying he was the one to continue to hold her when she cry's, make her laugh and smile more than she or anyone thought was possible, help her through her rough days and even be there with her on the best days of her life... one of them being today. today i'm glad we're all here... we're not only here to celebrate the love between two people but also the joining of a new found family. i'm extremely thankful to be here and to call adam my moms new husband and he's definitely deserved the title of being one of my dads and i'm more than grateful that along with adam came jake. from day one he was more supportive and protective than i could have ever asked for. so id like to toast to our new family and to adam and my moms day!" i cheer, holding up my glass of water while everyone holds their wine or soda. they all toast and we all take a sip of our drinks causing the music to start playing again. "that was beautiful" my mom smiles as i take a seat next to her. her eyes were slightly teared up and i laugh a little. "mom don't cry" i pout some. "i'm not, i promised myself i wouldn't but it's hard not to. your father would be proud of you for all of this. he always said you were strong" she smiles watching as adam nods. "it was beautiful, i'm extremely grateful for you as well honey." he smiles. "most people would hate this but i'm glad you're routing for us" he adds. "of course, i love you guys" i smile at them. "we love you too" they say in unison. "now... should we do the first dance?" adam smiles over at my mom. she nods quickly and he takes her hand to help her out of her chair before they rush over to the band playing so they could announce it to everyone.
soon the music starts playing and i watch as adam and my mother start to dance to a slow song. everyone watches from their tables and smiles at them. "that's going to be us one day" jack whispers quietly to me. the words actually gave me chills... the two of us getting married. it did something to my heart along with the chills. it just felt right. who would have thought he'd want to marry someone like me. i'm more shy than anyone he knows, i'm so ocd it's probably annoying, i start unnecessary fights and i even overthink more than i should but somehow he loves me.
gosh he loves me so much.
but it's okay, i love him just as much, maybe even more.
i feel as he kisses my cheek and i smile. "but i don't want it to be just me and you dancing... we should let our kid dance with us. for like the first dance as a family and married couple instead" he rambles as explains. i smile softly at his idea and how considerate he's already being of our kid and it's not even born yet. it makes me feel so good. "i like that idea... it's cute" i smile at him. "adorable actually" i correct myself, not even being able to find the word for how cute he was being.
we stay quiet and continue to watch them dance. the way they looked at each other reminds me of how my mom and dad used to look at each other. they looked as if they could get enough of the other person and it was the most adorable thing ever. they completely adore each other. it makes me wonder if people can see that from how jack and i look at each other. do they see how much were in love? i see it when i look at adam and my mom and honestly, looking back at it, i could see it back then when my parents were still together. it's actually crazy how noticeable it is and that's really all i want... someone to love me that much.. where any and everybody can tell. a love where we wouldn't have to tell people that were actually in love, they'd already know from how we act around one another or even look at each other... a love that speaks for its self.
"can i ask you something?" i lean my head on jacks shoulder. "anything" he nods. "do you think people look at us and can tell we're in love?" i ask him. "to me, i think they do... why?" he asks me. "i was just wondering... like you can look at them and tell they completely adore each other and i was just wondering if people see that when we're together" i explain myself. he lets out a small laugh and glances down at me. "as long as we know we're in love i think it's okay" he tells me.

"so, i was thinking..." jack starts out as we sit with nia, sam and nate while we all eat. i hum in response, waiting for him to reply before looking up at him. "you know how my mom was asking about baby names?" he starts out. i nod, watching as he glances away and looks back at me for a few seconds. "well... maybe if it's a boy we could name him after your dad or something... i mean, it's just an idea, so if you don't like it i understand i just thought that maybe-" "jack that's so sweet" i smile, suddenly becoming in love with the idea of naming our kid john if our baby is actually a boy. "aww see look at how cute they are" nia looks over at sam. "just remember, it's definitely going to be a girl" i tease him. a girl sounds perfect. i've always dreamt of doing her hair, taking her to go get her first prom dress, helping her get ready for her first date... teaching her about make up and damn even periods. i'd love to make it less awkward for her... my mom gave me the most awkward talk i've ever gotten in my life, so i'd like to make it less awkward and easier for her than it was for me. i think having a girl would be absolutely perfect.
"oh my, can you imagine us having a mini you?" jack laughs, shaking his head. "all i see is all the boys you'd have to scare off" nia nudges jacks side. "oh no. definitely not. we're not having a girl" he says, becoming more serious. "that's dxactly what i said! but look at me now... i'm almost 22 with a one year old daughter" sammy laughs at the irony. "well, who's fault is that?" i smirk. "not mine!" sammy defends making us all laugh. "well... technically sammy it really is. for one, you couldn't pull out... same for you jack and two, you were carrying the x chromosome... so yes, technically sammy it is your fault" nate tells him. "we love an educated man" nia points at nate making him flip his non existent long hair. "what am i?am i a joke to you?" sam looks over at nia. "anywayssss, i'm team girl... jack is also carrying the x chromosome" nia changes the subject as a joke.
sammy laughs and shakes his head before taking a drink of his glass of wine. "just imagine how pretty the baby girl would be" she adds making me smile. "our baby boy would be pretty too!" jack defends making her laugh. "he'd most likely come out looking like his daddy..." she winces as jack shakes his head. "then why did you come out looking like your dad! your logic is ass" jack jokes making her gasp. "shut up! i'm adorable" she defends, glancing over at sammy. he nods quickly in agreement. "hell yeah you are" he smiles. "see" nia shrugs, taking a sip of her water. she decided on getting water with me so i wouldn't feel left out. honestly i wouldn't. i told her so many times that she should drink if she wants to but she refused. i'm still thankful though.
i feel a tap on my shoulder making me jump slightly at the sight of adam. "can i have this dance?" he asks making me smile some. "of course you can" i stand up. he looks over at nia as he grabs my hand. "you too, come on" he tells her making her smile and stand up with us. "we'll be back" i tell everyone as we walk iff to the dance floor to share a dance with adam. nia was always over so it only makes sense to have her included in it as well.
it's perfect.
