Euphoria

Moving On

2 months later...

Paisli sits outside in the part of their backyard where they got a small park built for Cane. She rocks in a chair with Jade in her arms giving her some fresh air and breast feeding her."Mommy look look at me mommy". She looks up from wiping milk from Jade's mouth. "I see you big guy!" Jade starts to fuss as Paisli stopped feeding her. "Aw stop it little girl. You're so greedy"

"Don't be talking to the new princess like that." Paisli turns her head smiling to hear her dads voice. "You're back from Mexico finally." "We are back" Paula steps from behind him with Zane. "We huh?" Paula says "Yes we." Putting her hand up showing off her ring on her wedding finger. "Wait wait wait WAIT. So soon?" "Oh Paisli it's been a year and some change. That's long enough we were robbed our whole life" She shrugs. "I'm happy for you guys. You two look very happy." "We are" Jordan says kissing Paula. Paisli felt sick to her stomach watching it "Oh god ew." They chuckle. Jade starts to cry after burping which she does every time Zane comes around because that's her spoiled brat way of saying she smells her dad is near, she wants her dad. "Oh Zane, your daughter wants you" "Daddy coming baby." She hands him her shoulder blanket and then her. She stops crying immediately once she was in hands. He kisses her head repeatedly holding her close to him "Sorry babygirl daddy was working." "Speaking i'd work, Zane I might have some for you" Paisli turns her head raising her eyebrow "Safe work, safe Paisli" "Better be." "We can go talk in my office. P, you pumped?" "Yeah it's in the kitchen." "You gonna come back in the kitchen and heat it up too Zane?" Jordan asks. "Oh nah, I got a bottle warmer in my office" "What has life come to for you, man?" "I know right." They go in the house to talk business as Paisli looks back at Cane who was on the monkey bars acting like he was spider-man.

"So what's been going on with the wedding planning?" Paula asks sitting next Paisli. Before she could answer her door opens again. "Are we talking wedding plans with us? That's crazy" Sophia says with Jasmine right behind her. Jasmine kids trailed behind her. "Hi babies!" They run to hug Paisli as she showers them both with kisses. "Cane look who's here!" "Yay!!!" The kids ran over to go play with Cane as the women sat to discuss Paisli upcoming wedding.

"Are you nervous?" Sophia asks.
"Yes i'm nervous. I don't know shit about being a wife"
"Girl yes the fuck you do." Jasmine says. "You've been a wife to Zane since y'all started dating to getting pregnant, to now 2 kids. You've been a wife"
"It's just once we say'I do' everything.. feels like it's going to change. I don't know"
"Nothing is going to change Paisli. I can tell you, marriage is very hard. When hard times arise you can't run, you can't avoid, you can't ignore. Marriage is a life time commitment to someone you can't see life without. Even through the ups and down, the yelling, the arguing." Paula says. "Jordan and I had a beautiful marriage. We talked, we fought, we hated each other, but that's marriage. That even when you're mad that person is still all you want. Is that how you feel Paisli?"
She nods yes. "I don't see myself with anyone but him. It's mentally impossible. He is my life."
"Then you're ready for marriage my dear."

Paisli exhales drinking her lemonade. "I sure hope so. Once that band is on my finger. It's over with. My store is doing good i've been working from home. I just need to learn eventually how to balance mommy and wife life with work life. Working from home is good for right now" "You'll get there hang of it" Jasmine says. "I enjoy being a house wife." "Yeah i know you do lazy bitch" Paisli laughs as Jasmine throws a mini pillow at her. "No but congratulations on your marriage Jas, i'm so happy for you and i'm sorry I couldn't be a witness" "Oh girl you just freshly had the baby. I wouldn't even have forced you to do that. We're holding a reception soon." "That i will attend."

Paisli peeks at Sophia. She's staring off deep in her thoughts. "Could you guys give me and Sophia a second?" "Yeah of course. Let's go check on the kids" Paula and Jasmine get up heading over to the kids.
