A/N: I was a bit unsure about if I would be able to finish this story without any inspiration lol but luckily I got my inspiration
I am dedicating this chapter to Emily, the person who finally saw my genius lol joke but thanks for the review girl. It made my day and it also made this next chapter possible P since I don't want to be hunted down.
Keep in mind that I am still unsure of the plot, all I know is Jess will lose something dear to her. This chapter is more about meeting Jada and refreshing the last 6 or so years!
ENJOY!
You would think that after 16 hours of labor Jada would turn out to be a complete monster, but she is the complete opposite. After showering, thinking about how much more fun it would have been if Rob had joined me, I came out to find a pair of clothes folded on my bed. Seriously! Jada had picked out clothes for me.
"Hey mommy!" she said giving me that smile that even without a few of her teeth was the most beautiful smile in the world. "I thought that if you wear these clothes we would both be matching. See? Pink and pink!" She said pointing from the atrocious dress she had dug up from my drawer to her own pretty Barbie dress. Ugh! Why did she have to pick that dress? I had another pink shirt that was just a cute in the same drawer, now I had to wear this or hurt or feelings.
"Thanks honey, that was so sweet of you?" I said smiling and picking up the horrific dress and holding it up in front of my body, hoping it was too small. No such luck. "Where did you find this honey?"
"It was at the wee wee wee bottom of you drawers," She told me. "You must have forgotten that you had it." I sure did not. It was one of the ugly dresses that my mom bought me when she found out that I was pregnant so 'early'. Buying me ugly dresses had some how made her feel better.
I remember when I had gotten this one and was about to throw it away. Rob had stopped me. He told me that I didn't have to wear it but that I should not throw away presents. Boy was he wrong. If I had thrown it away I would never have had this problem this morning. When I see him he is so dead.
I threw on the dress wincing at my reflection in my mirror. Luckily Jada did not see my puckered brow. I spend a few second beautifying myself and then I was ready to go. Usually I did not care how I looked but being a celebrity (Lightning Girl, remember?) like I was I did want to be wearing an ugly dress and look ugly too.
We had scoured most of the stores and I had bought a whole new set of clothes for Jada, just to make it seem like we had really come shopping for her. Jada however was not duped.
"Mommy, why are we shopping" she asked as we left Toys R Us, hands full of bags. "I don't mind but didn't we get all my clothes last week." Why did she have to be so smart, huh? I knew that I would have to tell her the truth now that she had asked. Why did I have to have bought her all those things first?
"Well honey, I actually am shopping for something special for daddy," I told her, leaving out why I lied at the house.
"So why did you tell daddy that we were shopping for me?" She asked. CAUGHT!
"Well honey, I want the present to be a surprise," I told her as I loaded the bags into the trunk of my Honda Odyssey. Rob had bought it for me when he found out that I was pregnant. He did not want me to ride my bike anymore because I was 'delicate'. It was with this that I had a problem. We had argued for a long while and he even slept on the couch for one night. But the night he agreed that I could keep my bike and ride it whenever I wanted a break, is one that I will never forget. The van came in handy however when Jada was born, since I could not ride around with her strapped to my back.
"I love surprises!" Jada exclaimed, finally satisfied with my answer.
We made our way back to mall and I found the newest Gillette shaving set, which I knew Rob had wanted to get for quite a while now. I also couldn't resist buying him a new pair of shoes since it was I who had worn out one his old ones, while he was out at work. What was I to do when I missed him? Even though he did not say anything to me about it, I am sure he noticed. By the time we were finish shopping it was about 2 o'clock and both me and Jada were dying from hunger.
After relieving ourselves again of the shopping bags, we made our way to the food court where I bought Jada a kiddie's meal from McDonald and a Mc Flurry. For myself, I bought a cheese burger value meal and I upsized both the fries and the soda. While I ate off all of my food, Jada left half of her food in the tray untouched and ate off all of the Mc Flurry. Just as we were about to leave the food court, my distended stomach leading us, I bumped right into…
"Daddy!" Jada exclaimed rushing around me to jump into Rob's open arms. I could help feel a little bit jealous, of both of them. Rob had a big smile on him face as he squeezed Jada to his chest. I stood there watching them for what seemed about 10 minutes, okay maybe it was only 10 seconds. When he finally placed Jada down, she took his hand and he gave me a timid smile.
"Hey honey," he said smiling at me. I smiled back at him and he came and gave me a soft kiss on my cheek. Jada groaned, she always did that when Rob and I kissed, no matter how subtle. Her smile however remained on her face. It was amazing how she would always light up whenever she saw Rob; it was never the same when she saw me. Rob took my hand with his free hand and pulled me to his body.
"What are you doing here?" I asked suppressing my giggle. Our closeness felt awkwardly inappropriate in front of Jada but I was incapable of pulling away. Luckily Jada was taken up with swinging Rob arm, the one that was not dangerously close to my bottom.
"I missed you," he whispered in my ear seductively while we made our way through the car park. "And besides I wanted to make sure my too princesses were safe." This one he said loud enough for Jada to hear, this made her smile grow even wider.
When we reached the Honda, Rob headed straight for the driver's seat. Whenever we traveled together it was an unspoken rule that Rob drove. He always seemed to think that I drove way too fast for Jada. Not that she minded, she loved speed almost as much as me. But for today Rob had his own car, so didn't he have to drive that home? My puzzled mind must have shown on my face, since Rob answered my thoughts.
"I took a cab here so that we could drive home together," Rob told me as I settled into the passenger side. Jada was already sitting in the back, her seatbelt slashed across her body. I was amazed at how Rob and I had become a real family, I was so proud that my heart swelled.
"You really could have waited a little while longer Rob, we were on our way home," I told him, even though I was happy that he came.
"I didn't realize that I would be so unwanted," Rob jeered. He was so jocose at times, which is one of the reasons why I loved him. I placed a hand on his cheek, wishing that I could be closer to him that the vehicle allowed.
"Don't get me wrong," I warned him. "I missed you too." This I could tell was what he wanted to hear, since he took my hand off his cheek and kissed it. A "eww" from Jada's seat, made me withdraw my hand. Rob let out a quite chuckle at our daughter's irritation while he started the car.
"Jada, I explained to you already," he said in a some what pleading tone. "Your mother and I—"
"Yes daddy I know," she said cutting Rob off. "When two people love each other and are married, they sometimes show their love in adult ways," She said mocking Rob's voice. She had gotten the little vocalization so accurate that I had to chuckle. Rob I could tell was trying to keep a straight face. He always tried to explain to Jada that her parents loved each other and when they showed their feelings to each other, it was nothing to disdain. I however did not believe that Jada, at only five years, was old enough to understand this.
"Yes Jada exactly," Rob tried to teach his little girl again, while maneuvering the vehicle out of the crowded parking lot. "And your mother and I love each other very much."
"It is still gross daddy," Jada whined. Rob sighed, yielding to her innocence. I twisted in my chair to rest my head against the window. Shopping was always the most exercise that I ever got, and I was beat after doing it for so long. I was about to doze off when I heard Rob voice jesting me.
"That's I pretty dress you have on there honey," He joked, a crooked smile played across his gorgeous face. I glanced down at my apparel, completely forgetting that I was wearing the distasteful dress that Jada had found. I smiled at Rob's sarcasm, remembering that if truth be told, it was really his fault that I was forced to wear it.
"You think so?" I said encouraging his ignorance. "Jada found it for me, at the bottom of my drawer; I really don't know how it got there." On my last word I gave him an evil glower even though a taut smile remained on my lips.
"Well even if it was an ugly dress," Rob began obviously trying to acquit himself of blame. "You would still look gorgeous."
"Mmm," I replied refusing to forgive him. The rest of the ride home was silent and Jada fell asleep on the back seat. The instant we drove into our garage I quickly made my way into the house, leaving Rob to carry sleeping Jada up to her room. The bag, I knew would some how make their way into the house. Rob never allowed neither Jada nor I to carry any form of baggage while he was around. Even my 'secret' presents would have to be carried in by him, not that he would be very surprised anyways.
After changing into a comfy, VS lounge pants and a sweater, I made my way into the kitchen and flung open the refrigerator to grab my all time favorite calorie snack. The tub of cookies and cream ice-cream was already half empty from my last calorie splurge. I grabbed a spoon and sauntered into the living room; where I popped in my all time favorite DVD, 'Message in a Bottle', which was a filmation of one of my unparalleled favorite novels by Nicholas Sparks. I flopped onto the settee as the movie began. Rob joined me in the middle of the movie and we both finished watching it overcome by all the emotions that the filmed aroused. By the end of the movie, the tub was scoured and I was crying with so much empathy that Rob decided that I needed a hug.
"You are not forgiven you know," I told him cuddling to his firm physique as my tears stained his shirt. I knew my word were utterly nonsense since I could never hold a grudge against Rob for too long. He however did not know this.
"Oh Jess come on," He sighed huffily. "You know I was joking about the dress, you know that I think you a beautiful."
"That isn't why I am mad at you," I told him surprised that he had not figured out the real reason as yet, though refusing to tell him why just yet. Let him worry for a while.
"Then why are you mad Jess?" He pleaded. "If I don't know the reason, how am I to apologize?"
"Didn't you recognize the dress?" I asked him leaning up off his chest. He straightened up off the settee and began to ponder my question. He face went from surprised to confuse. He stared at me, looking deeply into my eyes. He always knew my weakness was those stares. I found myself suddenly thinking that this whole argument was unnecessary.
"Well that was the dress that mom had bought me when she found out that I was pregnant with Jada," I told him staring at my hands rather than his gaze. I began to feel asinine for arguing over the dress. Rob stares can do that to a girl. "And I wanted to throw it away, but you forced me to keep it—"
"And now you think it is my fault that Jada found it and forced you to wear it," Rob concluded. I nodded still staring at my hands. Rob I could hear began to laugh. His laugh got louder and louder and soon he was rolling on the couch. I soon found myself angry all over again. I mean he had no right to be laughing at me, when I was mad at him. I was about to get up and leave the room when Rob caught my hand and pulled me down to the couch again. He grabbed my face in his hands and began to kiss me passionately. When he broke away there was a smile on his lips.
"I was meaning to do that to you, as soon as Jada wasn't looking," He told me still holding my face close to his, I could feel his breath in my face. "I'm sorry for laughing before at you. I was just so relieved that you weren't mad at me for something more horrible."
"You still haven't apologized," I told him sulkily.
"I am sorry Jess," He told me. "Next time I will not stop you from throwing away an ugly dress." How he said it made me laugh. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Your forgiven," I told him, pulling myself closer to him. I looked into his eyes. "Is Jada sleeping?"
"Yes, like a baby," he said, his eyes lighting up, knowing what I was really asking.
"Well then there is a promise that I think I need to fulfill," I whispered in his ears. He chuckled and quickly scooped me up, into his strong arms.
"Yes you do my love," He said, lustfully. Rob began carrying me up the stairs to our bedroom, kissing me gently with every step. Rob locked the lock of our bed room, all the while both carrying and kissing me.
And we soon became one, once again. It was just as beautiful as the day we had decided to get married.
