I Always Will

Chapter 29

Hours Later

Come on Jacob go to sleep. I said. Rocking him back and forth in my arms. I was attempting to put this fussy little guy fighting his sleep down for a nap.

Brooke you want me to take him.? I just fed and put Skyler down.? Lucas asked. As he walked into the nursery. Putting his hand on my shoulder as he gazed over at Jacob.

It's okay I got him. He'll sleep really soon. I can feel it. I said. Looking back at Lucas.

Brooke take a break you've been at it for hours. You're gonna wear yourself out. I said. Looking to her. Seeing the obvious tiredness on her face.

Alright here. She said carefully handing Jacob over to me.

Skyler had Lucas's hair and my eyes. While Jacob had my hair and Lucas's eyes. They were only a few days old but they had truly changed our home in every way possible.

We didn't get anything done until they slept. We've basically been living in our pajamas for the past few days. Being able to squeeze in a quick breakfast here and there. But Lucas made sure to give me food especially since I was breast feeding the boys and needed my strength to do so.

That has been an experience I truly treasure. Being able to bond with them in such a close and personal way. Was more than I could of ever hoped for.

That's right buddy. Go to sleep. Lucas said. Rocking him gently. Placing down the now sleeping infant in his crib.

I sat down and began to relax. He's always so fussy before going to sleep. Unlike Skyler who falls right away. He's much more laid back where as Jacob doesn't want to miss a second of life passing him by. Brooke said.

Just like his mom. Lucas said. Smiling over at me.

They're both fast asleep. So do you want to get some food or go get a quick shower in.? He asked. Looking to me.

I'll get a shower. Then I'll bring over some food for the both of us. I said. Smiling back back at him.

I leaned over kissing him as I left the nursery.

Slowly shutting the door behind me as I walked into the hallway.

Momma do you have a sleeping bag.? Georgia asked. Looking up at me.

No I don't. Let's get in the kitchen and talk. Tell me all about you're first day of middle school. I said. Smiling up at her.

We walked through the hallway into the kitchen.

She sat down at the table while I started to get a snack together.

My classes went great. The teachers were helpful and nice but my favorite part was lunch I sat with other girls in the cheerleading squad. The team captain introduced herself to me and the other girls I felt so welcomed and included. Her name is Darla Robertson. She invited me to a sleepover at her house tonight. From what she said it's tradition. So can I go.? I asked. Looking up at her. I was actually getting excited over this. Girls all around school were talking about this sleepover and how much of a big deal it was and how they couldn't believe that I got invited being so new. Because usually it was only her and her friends. That went. And that me going was a big deal.

I don't see why not. But we should ask your dad and see what he thinks. Brook Brooke said. Looking back at her daughter.

Ask me what.? Lucas said. Walking over to them.

If I can go to this sleepover tonight being thrown by the cheer captain the other cheerleaders will be there. I've heard from other people that it's always fun and it's apart of the team bonding experience. Plus they all seemed really nice and made me feel so welcomed today at lunch. Especially Darla the team captain. I really want to go. I said. Looking up at my dad.

If course you can go. You deserve to have some fun and make friends. Enjoy yourself. Lucas said. Looking to her.

Thanks dad. I said. As I turned to my mom.

Momma can you help me figure out what I should bring.? I asked. Looking to her.

Sure I can. Let's go. Brooke said. Linking her arm with her daughter. As they left the kitchen and went into the hallway. In the direction of Georgia's bedroom.

I got the boys you two go on ahead. Lucas said. As he s started eating some of the snack Brooke had put together.

...

In Georgia 's bedroom

So you actually have a sleeping bag. It's in the back of your closet thanks to you're father. He wanted to buy it for possible future camping trips the two of you will go on. It's right here. I say. Pulling it out leaving it in the ground.

When going to a sleepover you don't need much. Pajams, toothbrush, an outfit for the next day, underwear, deodorant, hairbrush, money. Brooke said. Putting a handful of cash in a small bag. And a cellphone and charger. I said. Smiling up at her.

Wow momma thank you. I said. Hugging her tightly.

We know you're responsible enough to handle it. Call us if you need anything. I love you. I said. Looking into her eyes.

I love you too. Georgia looking back at her.

It starts at 8. Which leaves me just enough time to drive you over to her house of you want. ? Brooke asked.

Sure I would like that. I appreciate the help. I know how busy you are with Skyler and Jacob. Georgia said. Grabbing her bag as she headed out of her bedroom into the hallway.

Me and you're dad will always have time for you. Brooke said. Going into the hallway after her daughter.

The two leaving out the door shortly after. The ride to Darla's house took awhile once Brooke found it she parked in the street said goodbye to her daughter.

This might is only the beginning of many memorable moments this time is you're life will have. Brooke said. Looking to Georgia.

Georgia hugged her and thanked her for the ride. As she left the car and began walking up the stairs.

Brooke waited around watching as Georgia knocked on the door and was let inside . Before she drove back home.
