In the Middle of Nowhere
Ch.7 Tommy and Jude baby sit
Author's Note: This chapter is very short. I will be updating the next chapter very soon.
(Tommy's point of view)
After Jude and I got up I went and showered. Jude was still in the other shower when I got out. I went down stairs to wait for Jude. I had given Nancy the day off. I figured Mya would be a great distraction for Jude. You can't be around Mya without smiling.
Jude came down stairs to see Mya helping me make pancakes for breakfast. She laughed and picked up Mya. "Here sweetie." Jude said while wiping Mya's mouth and hands off. After breakfast Jude took Mya to get ready for the day. I went and got ready too.
I explained to Jude that I had given Nancy the day off to spend with her grandchildren. Jude offered to help me with Mya. Everything was going according to my plan. While Jude and Mya were upstairs I came down and did the dishes. Then I made a few phone calls making plans for the rest of our day.
I took Jude and Mya out to the stables. First we groomed Mya's horse. Whose name was Sparkles. Then I brushed the other two horses. "Jude you can ride Shera she's Portia's horse." I explained pointing to a black female horse. "What about him who's he?" She said pointing to the gray male horse I was standing next to. "That's D's horse his name is Mills." I responded laughing.
We rode horses for a few hours. Mya was getting tired and hungry. Jude made lunch while I put the horses up in the stables. When I got inside Mya was eating a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. "Wow girl grilled cheese and tomato soup who knew you could cook." I said smirking at her. She huffed and rolled her eyes at me. I laughed again happy that Jude seemed almost herself again.
I took Mya upstairs for her nap. Luckily she went down very easily. After I made sure Mya was asleep I headed back to the kitchen. Jude was just finishing washing our lunch dishes. "Wow you cooked and you're doing dishes they won't do themselves and I didn't want to leave them for Nancy." She explained seriously.
We went into the theater room. "Are we watching a movie?" Jude asked. "Yeah I thought we would." I said motioning her to sit next to me. We watched 40 days and 40 Nights and then A Walk to Remember. By the time the second movie was over Mya was up from her nap. When Mya came into the theatre room Jude was crying from the movie. Mya rushed over and hugged Jude.
"Okay no more sad movies." I said watching them hug. Jude smiled and said. "But it's such a good movie." "Okay Mya's turn to pick." I suggested. Mya ran over to the DVD's. Mya handed me Aladdin. I held it up for Jude to see and said. "It's Mya's favorite." "It's one of mine favorites too." Jude said pulling Mya into her lap.
Jude and Mya sung every single song. They kept trying to get me to sing. I swore I didn't know any of the songs even though I really did. After the movie was over we ordered pizza. Nancy called to check in on us too. I found it funny because I'm not use to having someone check in on me. Jude acted like it was no big deal. She was still use to having her Dad and Sadie checking in on her.
