Chapter 8: When She's Ready
It's March, two months since Jamie lost the baby. Landon is having his spring break soon. They have decided to go visit Landon's father and step-mother. Jamie just wants a couple of days to relax. She is still very emotional about the miscarriage. She can't pass a baby without crying. So one night, Landon sat Jamie down and told her "Jamie, let's go on a vacation." So they made plans and they are leaving the first day of Landon's spring vacation.
"Jamie, did you grap your swimsuit?" Landon yelled up the stairs. His father had a heated swimming pool. "Yes Landon, and I grap your swimtrunks." Jamie yelled back. Outside she seems very happy, but inside she is crying. Landon went back outside to change his oil in his car. Since his father didn't live to far away, they will drive there. Jamie was packing their bags. She knew everything they would need. After she packed their clothes, she went to the bathroom and packed the necessities. She decided to turn on the radio. Her favorite was on and she started to dance. She didn't notice that Landon was standing in the doorway. When she spun around,, she was startled. "Landon, how long have you been standing there?" She asked embarassed. "Not long. I finished working on the car so tomorrow, we can head out." He said walking towards the bathroom. "Landon, I finished packing what we will need. Is there anything you want to bring?" Jamie asked when he walked out of the bathroom. "Not that I can think of right now." Landon said. "Don't hurt yourself." Jamie said. "Why you little..." He said. He walked over and starts to tickle her. She laughs and falls on the bed. Landon falls next to her. He puts a hand on her cheek and kisses her. Their kiss gets deeper and rougher. "Landon, I'm not ready for this." Jamie said standing up and "I'm sorry, but I'm not ready." Landon sits up and says "It's okay baby." He graps her arm and pulls her back down on the bed. "Landon, I'm sorry. I just can't handle making love yet. My body may be ready but my mind isn't." She said with tears in her eyes. "Baby, don't feel bad." He said wrapping his arms around her shoulders. He gives her a kiss on the cheek and stands up. "Let's go get some supper." He said pulling her up.
The next day. It's morning and they are packing up the car. Jamie then makes some sandwichs for their lunch since they won't be at Landon's father's house for lunch. "Landon, are you almost ready?!" Jamie yelled upstairs. Landon was brushing his teeth. "Hold on." He said between spits. He wiped his face off and put his tooth bruch back in it's travel case and then put that in the bag. He walked downstairs but missed the last step and fell, the travel bag went flying. Jamie turned around when she heard a big thump. "Landon!" She ran to him and "Are you ok?" She kneeled down next to him. "Yeah." He said rolling over on his back. He started to laugh and Jamie started too. She helped him up and brushed him off. "Are you sure?" She asked again. "You just want to drive my car." He said. "Of course. I love your car." She said picking up the bag. He still had the car from high school. She loves how fast it goes and how free she feels in it. One time, when they thought she had cancer, he took her out in the country and let her drive his car. She drove it as fast as it would go and she felt do free and alive, she didn't even think about her cancer or leaving Landon. "I suppose you can drive my car, but please do the speed limit." He said. "Don't I always?" She asks with a smile on her face. Jamie took the bag and lunch out to the car. Landon followed her with one last bag. "All we have to do is to fell her up and then we can head out." Landon said shutting the trunk. "I'll go make sure we didn't forget anything and lock the door." She ran into the house and came back out few minutes later. Landon helped her in and walked over to his side. He starts te he car and pulls out of the driveway. They get to the gas station. Jamie gets out and walks inside. Landon fills up the car. He cames in and finds Jamie by the soda. "Get one if you want." He said opening the door and grapping one. "I've never had one." She said. "What?" Landon was shocked. She has been living with for 6 years and she's never had a soda. "You're kidding right?" He asked. "No, I was to scared that the caffine might interfere with my medication that I never had one." "Then get something else. You can try mine." He replied. She grappped a juice and went up to front counter with her husband. They paid for the stuff and walked back out to his car.
Within five hours, they got to his father's house. He greeted them outside as soon as they parked. "Landon! Jamie! You're here." He greeted them with a hug. "His dad." Landon said. "Hi Landon." A woman with his father said. "You all remember Linda? We were married after you two were. She was at your wedding." "Of course, we remember Linda." Jamie spoke up and "Hi Linda." Jamie gave her a hug. "Jamie, you look so beautiful and you Landon, Looking handsome all the time. " Linda said. "Landon Let's get your things and we can get you two settled." Landon's dad said. He and Landon went to the trunk of the car as Jamie and Linda walked inside. "What a beautiful home." Jamie said as soon as they got inside. She looked around. Landon and his father walks inside with the bags. "Landon, do you need help?" Jamie asked. "No." "Linda, lead us to their room." Landon's father said. She nods. They go upstairs and to a guest room. "Here we are." Linda said opening the door. Landon and his father walked in first and set the bags down. "Wow." Jamie said. "Okay, there's the closet, the bed of course, and the guest bathroom." He said opening the door to the bathroom and "The tub and shower are seperate. There are towels under the sink. If you need any thing else, just ask. Now we will leave you two alone so you can get settled." They leave the room. "I like this room." Jamie said. "I do too." Landon said. He walks to the window. The neighborhood looks like a perfect place. "What are you looking at?" Jamie asks walking to him. She looks out the window. "I see that very attractive woman too." Jamie said. "What?" Landon said confused. "I'm kidding." She said and "Now I want to take a shower and change. I feel icky from sitting in that car for a few hours." She opened her bag and got some clean clothes out. "I'm gonna go downstairs." Landon said. He kissed her on the cheek and left the room.
They have been doing alot of fun things, like going to play mini golf, which Jamie won, going out to eat, visiting museams, and going swimming. Two days before they are going to leave, they decide to BQ outside. It was a nice day for March. "How do you like your burgers, Jamie?" Her father-in-law asked. "Anyway but raw." Jamie replied. He nods and keeps cooking. They dish up when the burgers are done and sit at the picnic table. "How's your mom doing, Landon?" His father asked. "Good, she sold her house and moved into an apartment. She didn't need all that room once I moved out." Landon said taking a bite of his burger. Ketchup dripped from it lands on his pants. "Landon!" Jamie said. "What?" Landon asked confused. "Such a mess maker." She said. She takes a napkin and wipes the mess up. "Thanks mom." Landon joked. Jamie pushes him. After supper, they go inside to clean up and for Landon to change pants. Landon comes down to the kitchen. "Dad, do you mind if me and Jamie go for a little drive?" He asks wrapping an arm around Jamie's waist. "No." His father replied. "But Landon, we have to help clean up." Jamie said. "No, don't worry about it. You two go for a nice drive and we will clean up." Linda said and "And besides, you're on vacation." "Alright, if you're sure." Jamie said. " They nod."Don't wait up for us." Landon said taking her hand and walking outside. He pulls out of the driveway. "Do you know where we are going?" Jamie asked. "I thought we would drive around the city. See what it is like, maybe get some ice cream." Landon said with a smile. "Oh." Jamie said happily and "But your not thinking about moving here are you?" "I don't know." Landon said. They drove around for awhile and then got some ice cream. They stop by the beach to eat their treat. "This reminds me of our first date, excepted you gave me a tattoo instead of an ice cream cone." Jame said eating some ice cream. Landon chuckles. When they finsh their cones, they sit there watching the sun go down. "One more day and then we go back to normal." Landon said. "Normal." Jamie said quietly and in a louder voice "What is normal?" "For us? I don't know. We've been though so much." Landon replied and "But I know one thing that is normal for us." "What?" Jamie asked. Landon leaned over and kiseed her. Jamie pulled away. She says in a whisper "That is normal." She pulled him in for another kiss. She slides down on the seat and Landon falls on top of her. "Landon, we can't do it here." She said. "You're right." Landon said. She slides up and he sits back in his spot. "But we can go back." She suggested. "But you're not ready." He said. "Yes I am. I want you Landon." She said with a smile. Landon starts the car and they go back to his father's house. It's dark so they must've gone to bed. Landon and Jamie walk upstairs quietly and go into their room not to come out until late morning.
When they get home. They unpack and relax. They are sitting on the couch. "Tomorrow I go back to school." Landon said. "I go back to work." She said and "Today I fell like being a bum today. I'm tired from the car trip and everything we did." "It's ok to be a bum every once and awhile." Landon said sliding down in his seat and puts hands behind his head. "Did you like Linda." Jamie asked putting her feet in Landon's lap. "She was okay, although she looked to young for my father." Landon said as her started to rub her feet. "She is. She told me her age." Jamie told him. "How old is she?" Landon asked. "Thirty-three." She said. "She is too young." Landon said laughing. There is a knock on the door. Landon gets up and answers it. "Hello?" "Hi Landon." It was Angela. "Angela, what are you doing here?" Landon asked. "I want to talk to Jamie." She replied. "Why?" "I want her opinion on something. Can I come in?" She asked. "Yeah. Jamie is on the couch." Landon said letting her in.
~The End~
P.S. What do you think? I'm sorry, I know some of you are tired of my love scenes, but I wanted this one to show that Jamie is ready after having a miscarriage. I'm also sorry that this is a lengthy chapter, but it just came to me.
