Jade's POV
I paced back and forth again, moaning to myself. "Oh no, no, no, no,"
"Jade, calm down," Beck said. My head snapped to his direction. I gave him a look of disgust and continued.
"Calm down?" I asked, walking towards him. "How can I calm down when there's a baby in there that has no one to look after it! Where the hell is its family?" Beck bit his lip and didn't say anything. I prompted him. "Well?"
"Look, I think that…No, never mind. I think we should go and see what's wrong with the baby, okay?"
"No!" I yelled. "It's not okay. You go see to the stupid baby, I need some time alone." Beck nodded and went to find the baby. I sat down, then stood again as I couldn't relax. I paced again, and then felt something – someone – tugging at my leg.
"Mama, mama," the voice said from very low on the ground. I spun round to face the little voice. I raised my eyebrow at the little girl, dressed in a purple Tinkerbelle onesie. She was only about three, and was just babbling away. I called Beck quickly.
"Mama shouted. I woke up," she lisped, sucking her thumb at the same time. Surprisingly, I could understand her. Beck came out, carrying a baby in a blue sleep suit. I made a face at him and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Careful of the baby," I hissed. "You're going to drop him." Beck scoffed. I rolled my eyes at him. "What are you scoffing at?" I asked.
"Don't worry." He said.
"No, I'm not. I'm worried about why we're in the year 2021, with two kids in the house! I'm twenty eight, apparently. How did this happen? Is this your way of proving fate to me?" Beck looked up, his mouth agape.
"I don't know how she did it. Honestly…I'm so confused. How the hell do we get back?"
"I don't know." We were interrupted by the little girl again. She tugged at my leg, hiding behind me. "Yes?"
"Mama, you taking Jasper?" I looked at Beck. He thought for a moment before replying. He said:
"Taking him where, sweetheart?" The little girl pursed her lips for a moment. She walked over to Beck and took his hand while he moved the baby to his other arm. I raised my eyebrow once again. She leaned onto him, sighing. Her bright blue eyes looked up at me, peeking through her long eyelashes. I tapped my foot impatiently.
"Okay. You ask her where I'm meant to be taking the baby. I'm going to see what I have to wear."
"Wait!" Beck called. "You're leaving me with two babies?" The little girl tugged a little harder at Beck's hand, insisting that she wasn't a baby.
"Not baby!" she screamed.
"Okay, sweetheart - where's Jade taking Jasper?"
"Mama is taking baby to baby classes." I nodded and left, going for a shower and sorting my head. Then I got dressed. My wardrobe taste was pretty much the same now. I applied my makeup and headed downstairs. I saw Beck playing with the toddler. I wonder if he's found out what her name is yet.
I crept down the stairs and watched carefully for a moment. They were both smiling and happy, though Beck looked unsure. No wonder. We'd just gained two kids in under an hour, and I don't even know if someone was just playing a sick joke on us. It seemed so real now though. I walked down more, and let them know I was there.
"Mama!" She cried. She hugged my legs and I peeled her off of me, and went to talk to Beck. "Uppy mommy?" I shook my head.
"Not now," I turned to Beck again. He looked at me like I was crazy. "What?" I asked.
"She's yours you know." Beck said, motioning to the girl. I nodded.
"I know."
"Why don't you love her then?"
"I don't know. Why do you love her?"
"She's just like you, that's why." I smiled a little and then went to fix breakfast while Beck got dressed. I didn't know how to ask for her name without confusing her. I decided to tactfully ask her if she knew how to spell her name, even though I knew she wouldn't know. She shook her head sadly and pointed to the fridge.
"It on there," she said quietly. "Daddy put it there!" My forehead creased and I went on to ask her,
"Just now, or yesterday?"
"Yesterday mama," I nodded and then went to look on the fridge. Sure enough, Olivia was marked out on the fridge. I don't know why, but I didn't call her Olivia after all of that. I just called her Liv or Livvy.
"Okay then Livvy, what do you want for breakfast?" Olivia beamed up at me for the first time and smiled. I think I got it right. She squealed.
"Auntie Cat's Bibble," Olivia giggled. I sighed.
"Cat gave you Bibble…Cat…Beck!" I shouted. "Beck! Hurry down." Beck came rushing down. I told him what Olivia said.
"We have to go, okay?" Beck agreed, to see what was going on.
"You have to go to the baby classes though," Beck pointed out. I waved my hand.
"I looked after one baby, I'll cope with Jasper." Beck laughed and continued getting ready. I smiled and turned to face Olivia. "No Bibble." I said. I lifter her up and carried her on my hip to the kitchen. "Coco pops?" She wrinkled her nose in a way that was Beck entirely. I smiled and tapped her little button nose, while rifling through the cupboards. "Okay, I'll make you toast." I decided.
"Nutella toast?" She giggled. I pursed my lips, and went to make the toast after sitting her down at the table.
"Fine, you can have that. No, Livvy, stay at the table or no nutella." She sulked and stamped her feet. I raised my eyebrow and she stopped, sheepishly looking at the ground. She was still sulking and muttered when I told her off for it.
"I want daddy," she said. I put her breakfast in front of her and nodded.
"Yes, I bet you do. He'd give you anything you wanted!" I said. I cleaned up and then went to see the baby. He was asleep in his cot but looked so much like Beck. I stroked his face and then picked him up. I looked at the pram in the corner of the room. We lived in quite a big house nowadays. I decided that I'd just take the carseat. He can be carried in that.
Then it was time to see Cat.
