Jonah puts the spaghetti out and calls the girls over to eat. Amy was in the kitchen cleaning up after cooking it. They had talked a lot while they were cooking and Jonah realized how much he loved Amy.
If anything, his love was intensified after spending today helping out around the house with Bella and Emma's friends. He knew the girls were going to Adam's this weekend. That was in four days. Maybe he could help out another day during the week.
He walks back in the kitchen and Amy looks happy. He's trying to decide if he should ask her when Amy turns and looks at him. "Today has been such a gift. I couldn't have pulled this all off without your help. Thank you so much." She's smiling up at him.
"Oh, it was nothing. Just a little cleaning. It wasn't too bad. You have two really great girls," he says, turning to look at Emma and her friends.
"I just forget sometimes that I need help, I contemplated for too long whether or not to come ask you for some. I really appreciate the help." She turns, and Jonah grabs her arm, which he wasn't planning. "What Jonah?"
"I can come back later this week and help, I really don't mind." He wanted to see if this was just an easy day, or if he could be really happy helping out with Emma and Bella. He wanted to see if maybe he could help out more, and spend time with them. He loved Amy, and her family. He just wanted to help.
"Oh, you really don't need to feel obligated Jonah, we're fine. Sure, it's stressful trying to get a million things done on my own, but that's my job. As their mom it's my responsibility to take care of them, and get a million things done." She's burying her glare into his soul as she spoke.
"I don't feel obligated. I want to help out. I really enjoyed today, helping with the girls. It makes me happy to help you guys out, I really don't mind." He stared right back at her.
"Emma's going to her friends on Thursday, could you come help me with Bella? Emma usually helps with feedings, and I'd really like to see you change a diaper," she laughs.
"I can do that, I'm off on Thursday. And excuse you, I changed my brother's kid's diapers before and it was fine. I didn't enjoy it but I can do it." He could change a diaper, damn it.
"Okay, then I'll see you on Thursday Jonah." She smiles.
"See you then Ames," he says. He turns back to her and kisses her forehead before leaving, and says, "I did it last time, so I might make it a habit."
She's smiling at the door after it closes, feeling perfectly content with life.
