Chapter 20
Epilogue
Caylin's POV"Cody, can you get me the Oreo's?" I yelled from the living room of our house that we had bought 3 months after we got married, which was 2 years ago. He popped his head into the doorway and said, "I'm on it, Ma'am!" He always called me that when I was craving food. I'm 7 months pregnant with our second child and our first boy. Our first child, a girl, is 2 and a half years old. Her name is Jasmine Nichole Runnels. Jasmine, because of where Cody proposed and Nichole just because it sounded good, and I liked it. She is so pretty. She has light brown hair, dark blue eyes and freckles. Cody and I have made a plan that he picks first names while I pick the middle. We are going to name our boy Caiden Michael after my brother and Michael after Shawn Michaels.
"Babe, we don't have Oreo's, do you want me to go to the store?"
"Not unless we don't have pickles!" I heard him digging in the fridge and finally I could hear a metal lid getting twisted off the jar and Cody came to me, sitting on the couch, and gave me my pickle. Caiden was moving around a lot lately and I was getting nervous that he might come a tad early. I could hear Jaz getting up and so I yelled, "Cody, Jaz is getting up. You wanna go get her?" which was more of a statement then a question.
"Yes Ma'am!" He said, and then went up to get her. A few minutes later, he came back down with a smiling Jasmine who was laughing at her dad making funny faces. She saw me, her face lit up, she screeched, and then reached for me. I giggled and held out my hands, signaling Cody to give her to me. She was such a Mama's girl. I grabbed her and she took my finger in her hand. I smiled at my beautiful daughter. In about two months, we would be welcoming another soul into this world. I sat her down in front of me and she reached over to me and patted my tummy. It was 8:00 and so I had to get Jasmine ready to go to daycare. I had to go to work at 9 and Cody was leaving on his plane at 9:30 to go to Phoenix for Wrestlemania, so I had to drop Jasmine off at 8:45. "Jaz?"
"Wha, Mama?"
"Do you want to get ready to go to Miss Hailey's?"
"Sore, mom!" She said, with her inherited lisp.
"Okay, let's go to your room." I said and she hopped off the couch and waddled over to the stairs and looked back at me, who was just getting off of the couch. Her eyes got big and she sighed impatiently. I laughed and walked a little bit faster. I picked her up and carried her up the stairs, where we went into her pink and purple bedroom. I set her on her toddler bed and went to her dresser. Turning the handle, I opened it and got out some aqua yoga pants and a yellow t-shirt, as it was warm today. I slipped her pajamas off and put her other clothes on. She was talking to me the whole time about what she was going to do at Miss Hailey's Daycare. I was nodding the whole time when I really didn't hear a word because I was going over the day's plans in my head… Not that she really cared. After she got dressed, I said, "Go brush your teeth and comb your hair,"
"Otay, Mama. I will be white back. Do not move."
"Okay, hun. I won't," I said, sitting on the bed and watching her walk out of the room. I sat there, thinking about Caiden in my stomach. We had to start the nursery soon but we're too lazy…haha. Jasmine is very ecstatic about having a new baby in the house.
"Mom! I have done!"
"Okay, hon. Let's go downstairs and see if daddy started breakfast. I heard him say we were having banana pancakes!"
"Ooh! Yummos!" She said, smiling at me. I took her downstairs and sat her down in the chair by the counter. Cody had, as we expected, started breakfast. He always cooked because I wasn't that good. Of course, it was banana pancakes, Jasmine's favorite! We ate it quickly and then I walked out with Jasmine to the car and opened the door of our new, black Dodge Charger. I swooped her up into my arms and lay her in her car seat. I buckled her in and went around to the other side to get in. We drove across the town to Hailey's Daycare center and by this time, it was almost 8:30 so we played out on the playground for a bit. Once all the other moms started coming, the kids played with Jasmine so I could sit on the bench and rest. Gina, the single mom of Shiloh and Corbin came over and sat with me. We were both pregnant but she was a little bit further along then me. Shiloh was 4, Corbin was 3, and Gina was expecting her third child which was going to be a boy.
"Hey, Caylin! How are you?"
"I'm good. Getting worn out every other minute! It wasn't like this with Jasmine."
"Well, hey, don't stress too much or the baby might be coming sooner then expected."
"I'll try not to. It's weird, being worn out so much though. I'll have to talk to my doctor about it, considering that I'm almost due," I explained. She nodded and said, "Yeah, that might be a good idea. Well, it's 8:45… I've got to get to work… Can't be late another day or I'll get fired and you know how it is, I get fired, there's no money and no money means…well, I don't wanna think about it!" I nodded my head and replied, "Yeah, I got to get to work too. Do you want to come over for supper tonight? We'd be delighted to have you! I'm sure Cody would love to cook for you guys! I think we're having chicken fried steak."
"Yeah. Sure! We will definitely be there! Thanks for the invitation!"
"No problem. Okay, well I will see you there!" I said, getting up and walking to the car. I sat in it and lay my head onto the seat. Man, was I tired! And I had such a hectic schedule today that I don't even know if I will be able to make it through the day. I started the car and I drove off to the hospital where I worked at the front desk, sending people into appointments, check-ups, etcetera. I got there and went to the check in where I slid my card into the slot to clock in. In about 15 minutes, Cody would be leaving and coming here to say bye. By the time I got all of my papers ready and such, Cody was here.
"Hey, babe, I'm about to go," He said, frowning.
"Alright," I said, coming out from behind the glass window, "I'm gonna miss you," I said, hugging him, with my bulging belly between us. He wrapped his arms around me and tears started forming in my eyes. He saw and immediately looked concerned.
"Hon? You okay?"
"Pregnancy hormones..."
"Are you sure? I can call Vince. I can see if I can stay. I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal, seeing as you're pregnant."
"No babe, it's fine."
"Are you sure? I'm really sorry I can't be in both places at once. That would just be perfect…"
"Yeah, Codes. That would just make you perfect…"
"Cay, nobody's perfect," He said, as he started walking out. Then he went out the door and I smiled, finding it hard to wait until next time we would see each other.
