Chapter 9: A New Life
Quietly, Jeff turned the key in the lock, hoping what lay beyond the door wouldn't scar him for life. With a quick shove, Jeff pushed open the door, his eyes squeezed shut. Nothing. Ever so slowly, he opened his eyes. Not a person in sight, but he did spot an animal in sight. Frowning, Jeff crossed the room to the sliding glass door, "Poor baby, they've been so busy," Jeff emphasized, gazing up at the second floor, a look of disapproval marring his youthful features, "they failed to feed you breakfast." He opened the door, only to be met by a huge paw. "Alright Penny, calm down. I'll pet you then I'll feed you," he said, shaking his head. After getting the year old Italian Neapolitan Mastiff a clean bowl of water and a dish of food, he walked into the bathroom to scrub up to the elbows.
"Matt, is that you?"
Before Jeff could answer, an arm poked out from the glass shower door. "Whew, you smell like dog. Have you been outside playing with Penny again? Here, the water is warm, why don't you get cleaned up a little bit.." she trailed off suggestively. And before Jeff even knew what was happening, Amy grabbed a fistful of shirt and started pulling him towards her!
"Whoa, whoa!" Jeff practically screamed. Amy screamed shrilly, unclasping her hand from his shirt.
Just then the bathroom door was flung open, as Matt skidded to a stop in the doorway. "I heard you screaming from all the way up stairs, what the heck is going on?" Matt demanded, hands on his hips.
Amy peeked her head out of the shower door, "I thought Jeff was you," she replied sheepishly.
Jeff's eyes wide, he backed away from the shower door, "I only came in here to wash up after feeding Penny, because a certain person or persons had failed to feed her," he stated pointedly, raising an eyebrow. Staring at Amy's flushed face, Jeff added, "And now I know why."
As Jeff brushed by them in a hurry, Amy raised an eyebrow at Matt, her eyes speaking volumes, *I told ya this wasn't going to work.*
Later on that night, after watching Pearl Harbor for the third time in the past year, Matt, Amy and Jeff talked about his 2 day stay at Chris and Jessica's. "It was very interesting to watch actually. Much of the time I observed Chris and Jessica in action. The first day I went to the park with Chris and the twins, while Jessica went to the Obstetrician for a check-up. The twins are a handful I'll tell ya. They are adorable though, both carbon copies of Chris and Jessica," Jeff said with a grin.
In her blue, silk pajamas, Amy cuddled up next to Matt and smiled, "How old are they now?"
Jeff grinned, "Six months old - and they have become excellent crawlers, Chris turned his back on them for one split second and little Marion crawled onto a tiny ant hill." Jeff chuckled, "I've never seen Chris run so fast in his life. I think he's learning about parenting-the hard way. I figure I can learn what not to do by watching him," he said with a sly grin. "He's a great Dad though, he likes to take them for "airplane rides," and is always bouncing them on his knees. They love it. Gabriel and Marion are always giggling."
"Well, if anyone can make them laugh, it would be Chris," Amy replied, smiling softly.
"And take yesterday for example," Jeff continued, "Jessica was just having a really bad day: she burned dinner, her back ached and her head hurt. Chris asked if I wouldn't mind watching the twins so he could make dinner. I watched in amusement as Chris picked up his surprised wife and carried her upstairs to bed."
"Jessica knows how sweet a husband Chris is and not to take him for granted," Amy commented.
Jeff nodded his agreement. "Anyway, I kept an eye on Marion and Gabriel as they played nicely with their plastic block tower. You should have seen little Gabe, his tongue sticks out of his mouth in concentration as he worked to build that tower. Marion got bored and plopped herself down in my lap," Jeff said with a wide smile. "You have to go over to see the twins soon, they are such sweeties."
Amy smiled, "They are that comfortable around you?" she asked in surprise.
"Oh sure, they are used to being around strangers."
Amy snuggled closer to Matt, "Did you hear that hon, we need to pay Chris and Jessica a visit soon."
"Mmm Hmm," he said absent - mindedly as he stared off into space.
"You okay hon, you haven't said a word since the movie ended?" Amy asked a little worriedly, brushing a lock of hair off his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. What do you say we hit the hay?"
Amy looked at him, puzzled, "Uh sure, if you want to. I'll be up in just a minute okay."
"Alright babe." Brushing a soft kiss against her lips, Matt slowly headed towards the wooden staircase.
Amy turned to Jeff, "Listen Jeff, I owe you an apology. I'm really sorry about what happened this morning."
"It's forgotten Amy-girl, don't worry about it," Jeff replied with an easy smile. He gave her a hug, "Sweet dreams lil sis," Jeff said affectionately, as he headed off to his own room, right next to her and Matt's.
"You too," Amy said softly, wrapping her arms around herself, as she stared at the silhouette of his retreating form.
One month later, the countdown:
Jeff and Amy slowly swung back and forth on the swing set in the park, watching as Jericho took off after his fast and furious crawling children.
Amy would have laughed if she wasn't so lost in thought.
Jeff glanced over at her in concern, "Penny for your thoughts Ames?"
She turned her head to look at him quickly, "Isn't Gabriel his middle name?"
"Yes, his first name is David. Come on though Ames, I've known you too long to even consider that that is the subject that has you so quiet, so what gives?"
Resting her cheek against the plastic coated metal, Amy responded, "Do you want to have children when you and Nora get married?"
"You bet I do!" Jeff cried enthusiastically. "We both do."
Amy nodded, "That's what I thought."
"Why, what is the matter?" Jeff asked in wonder.
"I'm not sure if Matt wants children, because I think I'm pregnant," she said quietly, glancing over uneasily at Jeff.
