Chapter 14

Chapter 14 🚼16 weeks pregnant (4 months)🚼

It's been about a month since Mel announced she was leaving for California, and she's been gone for two weeks now. Lisa was heartbroken to see her daughter leave, she keeps on blaming herself for driving her away to the other side of the country.

I personally don't think Lisa made Mel leave. She was offered a job, one that she's always wanted, and I guess she was just deciding if she should take it or not. At least that's what I told Lisa to make her feel a bit better.

Thankfully Mel promised to be here for the birth of the twins. We have been texting and calling each other whenever we get the chance. She isn't officially starting until the new school year, but they wanted her over there to get used to the environment and figure out her living arrangements.

Lucas and I just left the OB/GYN and are currently on our way to get Jake from John and Lisa's house.

"Are you excited?" I ask Lucas.

"For what?"

"We get to find out the genders of the babies next visit." I say ecstatic, I've been waiting to find out the gender for so long, and as the weeks come closer the more excited I get.

"I'm not sure if I want to know the genders."

Hold the phone, he what?

"What do you mean you don't want to know?"

"I'm not sure if I want to be surprised yet. Don't you like surprises?"

"Well yeah but I would rather know if I'm pushing a girl or a boy out of my vag-"

"I get it." he interrupts me, not wanting to hear the word.

"So you'll put your dick in it but won't let me say it?"

"Precisely."

"Oh come on it's not that bad." I try to convince him.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Come on say it with me. Va-gi-na."

"Stop."

"My coochie."

"Jessica."

"My lady bits."

"Seriously."

"My hoo-ha."

"I'm going to ignore you now."

"Female genitalia"

All he does is sigh and focus on the road.

"Alright, I'm done now."

"Thank you." he says after a few moments.

I lean over and whisper in his ear, "Pussy." and sit back down.

"Really, Jess, really." I can see him looking at me out of the corner of my eye.

"Okay now I'm done. For real this time."

We start up a new conversation for the rest of the ride to Lisa's house to get Jake.

When we reach the house and Lucas takes the key out of the ignition and we walk up the porch steps and ring the bell. John opens the door and ushers us inside.

"Lisa's in the kitchen with Jake." he says walking towards the kitchen.

As we get closer we can hear Jake's noises, now that he's ten weeks old, two and a half months, he's started cooing and smiling at people.

"Hey Lisa, how are you?" I ask walking into the kitchen.

"I've been better, that's for sure." she replies, handing Jake to Lucas.

"Hey mom." Lucas gives her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey baby." she smiles slightly.

"Thanks for watching him you guys." I tell them both smiling gratefully.

"It's no problem, anytime you guys want to bring him by for some alone time please do. It's great being able to spend some time with one of my grandchildren." Lisa responds.

"Well we had better get going now. We'll see you guys later."

When we arrive home I put Jake in his playpen as Lucas and I sit on the couch in the living room.

"Lucas, we might have a slight problem."

"What?" he turns to face me.

"So my family has no idea about any of this. Jake, my pregnancy, the engagement, you. Thanksgiving is coming up and I always go down for it and Christmas. I can't do that though because," I gesture to my enlarged stomach.

"We didn't think this far through did we."

"Nope."

"How about we just tell her about me."

"Everything?"

"No, just you have a boyfriend and you want to spend this holiday with him."

"What about Christmas?"

"You're meeting my family."

"This could work." I nod my head in approval.

"I know, I'm a genius." he smirks.

"How modest of you." I say sarcastically.

After a few minutes I walk into the kitchen and start making Jakes bottle. Bringing out the lukewarm bottle I give it to Lucas who already has Jake on his lap ready to feed him.

As he starts to feed him I decide to have some leftover samosas. They were the really good vegetarian ones, with an even ratio of potatoes, peas and spices.

"Lucas, do you want any of the samosas?" I ask because there was four of them and even though I could finish them I thought it would be nice to ask.

"Uh, yeah just one thanks." he yells back from the living room.

Damn.

I pop them in the toaster oven for five minutes because putting them in the microwave makes the bottom a little soggy. When they're done I put all four on one plate instead of using two if Lucas is only having one samosa.

"Here you go." I say handing him the plate and taking Jake out of his hands.

"No it's fine you eat and I'll put Jake to bed." he said putting the plate on the coffee table reaching his hands out for Jake.

"Nope." I say walking up the stairs with Jake in my arms.

"You seem really sassy today." he remarks when I come back downstairs.

"Is there a problem with that?" I ask.

"No I just feel like I'm under some sort of sass attack." he finishes off his samosa.

"A sass attack, really."

"Yes really, you are very sassy today Jess."

"Well I doubt that I'll be stopping to be honest, so you might wanna get used to it big boy." I take a bite out of my samosa.

"Oh really now?"

"Who's being sassy now?" I ask finishing the samosa.

"Oh whatever, still not as bad as you are."

"Well you're just going to have to deal with it then, now won't you."

"Really now?" he asks me raising an eyebrow, a glint in his eyes.

"Yeah." I huff defiantly. I could feel his breath fanning my face, I hadn't realised that we were so close.

"Okay then I will." he leaned in closer so that our lips touched.

His slightly chapped lips moved against mine, he had one hand gripping my waist and the other was in my hair. I moved my hands to cup his face moaning softly when he bit my lip. I've never felt this way while kissing someone before, like I was on cloud nine, not even when I was dating Derek did I feel this kind of spark.

That moment of ecstasy and adrenaline when everything feels just right.

I gave a small groan of protest when he started to pull away. Our foreheads touch and I look into his eyes only to find him staring back at me. I bite my lip waiting for his response to the kiss, even though he initiated it, what if it wasn't as good as he hoped.

What if I wasn't as good as he hoped. My stomach dropped at the thought.

"Jess." he finally spoke. This is it, the moment of truth.

"I don't want you to have to worry about our relationship or what ever this is. I want us to be official."

"What are you saying?" I whisper.

"I'm not saying we have to get married right now, but I want to be able to call you my girlfriend." he says as if he's afraid of me rejecting him.

"I would love to call you my boyfriend Lucas." I smile.

"Oh thank God." he gives out a breath of relief.
