Tumblr Drabble #19 - Hey Laura! Okay so I say Current baby japril is now a toddler and they start talking about how he or she is so grown and they miss a baby and they decide to have another another one
Jackson and April sat on their sofa as little Jayden played on the floor. His curly hair bounced around as he toddled between his toys. The past year and a half had gone so quickly and he had already started walking.
"I can't believe how big J.J. has gotten," April observed as she sipped her tea.
"I know, he's walking and everything," Jackson agreed with a proud smile.
"And sleeping through the night," April added with a chuckle, giving Jackson a look.
"Thank goodness for that," Jackson sighed taking a sip from his beer.
For a few moments, they admired the tiny human they had made, until an odor wafted over to them. April wrinkled her nose as she noticed the smell. She looked over at her husband to see a similar reaction.
"Uh oh…," April laughed, "the stink monster returns."
April went over to her little boy and picked him up, tickling him. The toddler in her arms giggled.
"I'm gonna change him and put him to bed," April said as she carried him up the stairs.
Moments later she came back down, with a slightly sad look on her face.
"Hey, what's up," Jackson asked noticing as she entered the room.
"Nothing, I'm just realizing he's not a baby anymore. I used to rock him to sleep before bed but he was falling asleep on the table, so I just put him down."
"You knew it would happen eventually," Jackson teased.
"I know but I didn't think it would happen this soon," April responded.
"Come here," Jackson gestured to his wife to snuggle up with him on the couch.
April obliged, resting her head on his chest as he wrapped her up in his arms.
"We still have so much to look forward too," He reassured her. "Or…" he added after a moment.
"Or what," April asked, perking up wondering what was getting at.
"You miss when Jayden was a little baby…there is something we could do about that," He answered giving her a look. "We could try to have another one."
"Really?" April responded.
"Yeah, I think it's time," Jackson replied, "It would be nice for him to have a little brother or sister. A girl would be really nice, then we'd have one of each."
"I'm glad you think so," April answered with a mischievous tone in her voice, "because I'm late."
