I think this is far from over, but not 100 sure, they do still need to get married at least. Updates may take longer than before, I've hit a little bit of a block- Please review it generally helps with the block. Plus it gives me a reason to ignore MicroBio. Hehe. PLEASE read and review.
Chapter 19- Showers and Surprises
Jordan's POV
"Jordan how did you fit both of those in there? Almost 13 pounds of baby." Garret said astonished.
"I'm not sure, but I can tell they were pretty cramped by the way they are acting now." I said smiling, they had given me a few more drugs and I was high on cloud nine. They were wiggling around in my arms. "Woody come here." I placed Jack in his arms and he took him over to Renee, that I didn't expect, but was pleasantly surprised. He handed her Jack and came back to collect Emily and took her to Garret. They both had tears in their eyes looking at our babies. "Guys can you excuse us for a minute, we need to talk to Garret and Renee for a few minutes?" Nigel nodded and he led them out of the room. I'm fairly sure he made some comment about us wanting to be alone with Renee. He just didn't know the softer side of her that I'd gotten to know throughout my pregnancy. After the night we picked out Jackson's name she was visiting me and made sure I was okay on almost a daily basis. I didn't have a lot of girlfriends and it was nice to have someone to talk to. She understood a lot of it. I found out she had once had a miscarriage, it seemed like she still had the scars from it, I know I would have. Garret and Renee came towards the bed. "We have something we would like to ask you."
"Anything." they said simultaneously.
"We were hoping you would say that because we were wondering if you both would be their Godparents." I had agreed to let Woody ask them. After all he was the devout Catholic, not me, it was still important though, more than I ever thought it would be. They smiled at us and then at each other and nodded. It was a joint decision, and it didn't look like their first, we were going to talk about that later.
"We'd love to and are honored." Garret said while clutching Renee's hand. They actually looked good together.
"Okay, now that, that is settled, Jordan we still haven't given you a proper baby shower."
"Oh, it's fine, the guys at the precinct actually had one for Woody, we have mostly everything else." I didn't want them to feel obligated.
"Well sorry, but you're a little late, as were we, but we're making up for it right now." Renee left the room and returned with a small group of my best friends with pastel blue and pink packages- and yes I do know what pastel is.
"Oh, you didn't have to do this." I was touched I could tell Woody felt the same. Woody was now sitting on the bed next to me and the babies where in their bassinets. "Woody, can you bring them here?" He picked them up and brought them over placing Emily in my arms, he held onto Jackson. I guess it was only fair. She was a little awake, she had sort of a glazed over look, but she looked perfect, she had a dark head curly of hair with sapphire blue eyes. I just knew she was going to have us wrapped around her little finger in no time, I would do almost any thing for blue eyes, I blame that on her father. She looked up at me and then wiggled a little and gave a small scream. "Guys, I really want to do this, but I think they are starting to get hungry, if you can give us a few minutes you can all come back, but at the moment they take precedence." Nigel frowned at me and then slowly led everyone outside and the nurse came into help me. She took Jackson from Woody and brought him over to me.
"The nice thing about this is that you can feed both of them at the same time, your going to hold Emily right where you are and we're going to put Jackson on top of her."
"Won't that hurt her."
"No, they are used to being so close together it is actually quite comfortable to them. It's the same reason you can put them in the same crib and they are happy about it." She adjusted the babies so they were positioned just right and showed me what to do. Before long they were eating hungrily. "Now it is common for them to fall asleep while eating, if it happens you can tickle their feet they'll usually wake up and finish." She watched me finish as did Woody and then showed me how to burp them. We finished up and cleaned up and the gang returned dad included. I was so happy he was here with us.
"Jordan, ready to open some presents now?" Garret said.
"Yes." I was suddenly very giddy, I had been happy all day, well most the day, well at least the last part of the day, ya that was true. "Woody come here." I handed him Emily, "Dad?" and he came over and I gave him Jackson. "Now lets open them!" Bug handed me 2 packages of the same size. I opened the first one and pulled out an ant farm, "Please say your kidding, please."
"What, I figured it was a good way to start off, you know follow in their parents footsteps." he looked at me innocently and then pulled out two slightly smaller packages.
"Now these are cute." I said pulling out a little package of onesies and two little outfits, one with lady bugs and the other had a sail boat, I gave him a little glare, nothing mean, just slightly confused.
"You didn't expect me to entirely give up on the bug idea, did ya?"
"No, but that doesn't really explain the sailboat." It was cute if you were into that, not that I really was, but Woody was smiling so I played along.
"There aren't really any male bugs that they put on baby clothes." I just smiled. That was our Bug. Lily came up and handed me a small bag. I opened it up and discovered two small teddy bears, one was light pink and the other was baby blue just like Woody's eyes. Next was Nigel, the bag was black, this is the only one I was really worried about. I opened it and found two very small black bandanas and little spiked bracelets.
"Nigel?" I said pulling out the bracelets.
"Now they can hang out with me and they'll look like they fit." You aren't going anywhere near my children. At least not anytime soon or when they are teenagers, or..... never mind.
"Anyways." Garret and Renee then handed me the last of the unopened presents. I ripped the paper off, I found a mini set of scrubs and a mini suit. "Are you two trying to imply something?"
"Hey, just be glad the suit is unisex- we're not stereo typing them. Suits work for cops and lawyers and I know one of them is going to turn out just like you so that is where the scrubs came from, aren't they cute." Renee said holding up the little green outfit. She then pulled out one more bag that was a little hidden and handed it to me. I opened it up and found two croqueted baby blankets, one was blue and white and the other was pink and white.
"Renee, this is one thing I never would have pinned on you." she didn't say anything, just smiled and lightly placed her hand on her stomach, I better ask her about that later, it was a familiar stance to me, I was doing it since before I knew I was pregnant.
