Chapter Fifteen

Dave didn't like Jessica decision to move into Randy's after all. He lectured her for almost an hour before Angela had to step in and tell him to stop.

"You are causing her stress David. She doesn't need this crap from you. She's 21 weeks pregnant with twins. Do you want to be the one that causes early labour and the possible death of you're ONLY nieces or nephews?"

Dave shook his head but didn't say a word. Jessica smiled at Angie and nodded in thanks. Angela smiled and nodded a 'You're welcome' and went into the other room to finish her cooking.

"Look, I'm sorry Dave but this is the right thing to do. With twins we can't impose. That would be 3 extra people instead of just 2 and that is a big amount of time and space. I'm going to be up all night changing one and then feeding and then doing it all over for the other one and then they crying is going to drive everyone crazy. The girls, especially Ariel, she needs her sleep. She has school."

"Alright, alright. I give. Just make sure you know all the emergency numbers and all."

"I will. Amanda is living 2 doors away from us. She's already got Jayla and she's pregnant again. We're gonna be pregnant together." Jesse smiled.

"Well, alright. But I'll be checking on you all the time. When I'm away I'll call, when I'm here and not busy I'll be around. Eddie has agreed to do the same if I am unavailable. Vickie, Eddie's wife has agreed to be there if you need a ride to the hospital, if in case of labour while Randy is away you need assistance."

Jessica couldn't help but laugh at Dave's well thought out plan.

"Love the plan. It's nice to know you care so much."

"Jesse - Belle. You're my baby sister. I'm always gonna look after you."

"I know. Mom called, she loved the little pictures I sent. She wanted you to let her know when she could come up here. I told her closer to the babies birth, but you know how she is."

"She wants to bring the gang too?"

"Yeah, I assume so. I mean she wouldn't leave them alone. They'd kill each other."

"Alright I'll call her later and fix things with her."

"Awesome. Well, I better get home before Randy sends a search party."

Dave laughed. "Oh, before I forget, this letter came for you today."

"Thanks." Jesse said smiling as she took the letter from Dave. The hand writing looked familiar. She knew it was Casey's right away. She shoved the letter into her purse and left to go home.

When Jesse got home Randy was waiting for her in the living room.

"Hey." She smiled.

"Quick put you're stuff down and come with me I have a surprise for you."

"What kind of surprise?" Jesse asked putting her purse down and taking Randy's outstretched hand.

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise would it." Randy laughed leading Jessica up the stairs.

"Very true." She said following him feeling very excited.

"Ok, now close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Because it's a surprise. Just close them."

Jesse closed her eyes.

"No peaking either." Randy laughed lightly smacking her hand as she half opened her eye.

"Ok, Ok."

Making sure she couldn't see anything Randy opened a door and lead her inside the room.

"Ok, now you can open them."

Jessica slowly opened her eyes to the most beautiful nursery she had ever seen. There were two white oak cribs adjoining with each other. Both had white cotton bedding with silk yellow lacing the edges. The walls were a warm light yellow color and the carpet was a creamy white. There was a rocking chair in the middle with Jessica's initials carved into the back of it. The baby changing area was equipped with all the essentials the twins would need and there was a white chest of drawers, painted on the drawers were tiny yellow teddy bears. On top of the chest were two huge bears.

Jessica was taken aback. She felt the tears.

"It's so beautiful Randy." She whispered.

Randy wrapped his arms around her and smiled.

"This wall here, this is were we can have the twins names painted."

"I think that's a great idea." Jesse said through her tears.

"Do you really like it?"

"Yes, Randy I think it's wonderful."

"Does this prove how much I'm sorry for all my screw ups and that now I want to be the best dad that I can be?"

"Yes." Jessica smiled.

"Jess..I think next week we should ask the sex of the babies."

"Really?"

"Yeah, then we can give them names."

"I like the idea. Well, I guess we better get some baby name books then."

"Alright got them." Randy said pulling a baby name book out from behind his back.

"Well, you just did everything today didn't you." Jessica laughed.

"All out of love."

"We love you too." Jessica smiled.
