Enjoy! And review to let me know about what you think about the story, and whether or not to do a sequel. – Lauren.
Chapter 16
CeeCee and I stood up and went into a totally girl-y, bouncy fit. We jumped a little, and held onto each other while shrieking happily. I honestly don't know why we were so excited, I mean she was pretty sure she was already pregnant, but I guess actually seeing proof just made us so giddy.
Again someone knocked at the door then called "Hey, what's going on in there?"
I looked over at Cee and she nodded, so I gently opened the door and we walked out arm in arm. I was so happy for her! I knew I was grinning like an idiot, but it was nothing compared to CeeCee's glorious smile.
"What was all that about? Are you two okay?" Adam asked looking a little concerned.
"I've never been better" Cee cooed.
Jesse came over and tried to take me in his arms, but Cee had a strong hold on my arm. I knew this was it, and I wasn't going anywhere. I was her moral support, just like she had been for me at my wedding. Remembering that I reassuringly squeezed Cee's arm. She glanced at me, gratefully and then turned back to Adam, who looked very jumpy and nervous.
"Adam, I have something to tell you" CeeCee began, leading him and me over to the couch. Jesse trailed after us, and looked a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, what's up?" Adam asked, his voice shaking slightly.
"Adam, I'm…I'm pregnant!"
Adam sunk down into the couch cushions, and stared at CeeCee. I gave her arm another squeeze before sitting down beside Adam. Jesse came over and sat on the arm of the couch. Cee looked petrified. She stood there watching, waiting for Adam to do, to say anything.
"Well, he's taking it better than Jesse did" I informed CeeCee to try and cheer her up.
"What do you mean Querida? I took the news of your pregnancy very well" Jesse defended.
"Pufft! Jesse when you walked in on that baby shower, and realized it was for me, you fainted."
"I…I, okay I fainted, but only because I was so overcome with emotions."
"Jesse, you're such a woman sometimes" CeeCee teased, apparently feeling better.
"Am not" Jesse shot back.
"Are too!" Cee giggled.
"I am not" Jesse retorted, crossing his arms over his chest and sticking out his tongue at her.
CeeCee was practically rolling on the floor with laughter, while Jesse was still eyeing her, annoyed.
"Now children, don't make me separate you two" I said using my best motherly tone.
"She started it" Jesse snapped pointing down at Cee who was trying desperately to stop laughing.
"Did not" she shot back, lifting herself off the ground.
"Did too."
"Hector 'Jesse' De Silva, be nice or you'll regret it. You too CeeCee Katherine Webb" I warned them, angrily.
"Hector?" CeeCee asked, looking confused, yet amused at the same time.
Jesse ignored her, wrapped his arms around my middle, and nuzzled my hair. "I'm sorry Querida. But she started it" he whined, shooting her a mean glare.
"I know, I know. I just want you two to get along. Normally you guys are great together, I don't want has gotten into you two."
"Well if I remember correctly, most women go through a period of mood swings during their pregnancy."
I shot Jesse a warning glance and he quickly added, "Well, most women, but not you Querida. You've been very cheerful and happy during this time."
"Yeah, sure" I replied, feigning anger.
"Uh, will you two cut it out already" CeeCee barked.
Jesse turned towards her, but I pinched his arm as a warning to remain civil, or else.
"So, how long have you known?" Adam asked, calmly, as if no time had past.
We all whirled towards Adam, surprised at how calm he appeared to be.
"Umm, I just took a test a few minutes ago, but I was suspecting it for about week or so" CeeCee replied, walking towards Adam. He pulled her down into his lap and smiled up at her.
"I love you" he said before kissing her sweetly.
"We should give them some time alone" I whispered to Jesse before getting up.
"I agree" he said taking my hand and leading me out to our deck.
He pulled me close to him, and reached for the remote that controls just about everything outside. Suddenly "The Way Look Tonight" came on through our speakers and Jesse started swaying to the music with me. I couldn't help but smile, this was so…Jesse.
We danced like that; under the stars, and just being together, for awhile. As we continued to sway, I sneaked a glance inside and saw CeeCee and Adam talking. Both were beaming, and they looked so cute together.
After Jesse noticed I was shivering a little, he turned off the music and we went back inside.
"What were you two doing?" Adam asked, winking suggestively.
"Dancing, under the stars" I said, sounding almost starry-eyed.
"Awh, that's so cute! Why don't you ever do anything like that for me?" CeeCee questioned.
"What are you talking about? I just set up a candle-lit picnic on the beach for our anniversary" Adam replied, smiling.
"Yeah, but you never dance with me" Cee added pouting.
"I danced with you at our wedding" Adam said.
"Ugh, never mind."
"Oh, and I'm the woman?" Jesse asked, playfully.
CeeCee smiled back at us, before climbing off of Adam and snatching up her coat and purse.
Adam, grabbed his coat as well, and we all said our good-byes, promising to do something together next weekend.
After they left, Jesse and I cleaned up a little before making our way up stairs.
As we both changed into our pajamas I wondered aloud, "Do you think CeeCee and Adam's kid will be in the same grade as the twins?"
"They might be, Querida."
"Yeah, I bet they will."
"Come on Susannah it's after mid-night, and I have patients to check on at 8 o'clock."
"Alright" I whined as I climbed into bed, besides Jesse.
"Oh, by the way, Happy Halloween Querida."
I smiled up at him, and snuggled closer to him.
"Happy Halloween, Jesse."
"Querida, as long as you're with me, all my holidays will be perfect."
