~Chapter Twenty-Two~
~Jade's POV~
"Jade, can I talk to you?" Pam looked nervous. "I just wanted to apologize for how I acted. I shouldn't have judged you like that."
"I understand. I'm used to people judging me before they get to know me. I hope we can be friends, because your son means a lot to me and to my daughter."
"You really are an amazing woman, Jade."
"I just try to treat everyone how I want to be treated." I shrugged as the bathroom door opened and Alexa and Cassie walked in.
"So this is where the party is." Cassie laughed.
"Come on they want to cut the cake." Alexa laughed. "Kathy and Frank have decided that little Miss. Gracie needs to get home and to bed."
"Is she causing problems?"
"She's just really tired. The boys wore her out today at the zoo."
"Even though they know how she gets when they do?"
"Yeah, no one said they were the brightest crayons in the box."
"To quote Gracie, 'Boys are stupid.'" Cassie laughed.
"Where is she now?"
"Dancing with Kendall and no worries Kathy is taping it."
"Sweet, I can't wait to see that." I smiled.
We all left the bathroom and headed over to the cake, as Pam walked back over to Logan and his Dad.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine." I smiled at Cassie. "No need to worry."
When Kendall and Gracie were done dancing, he carries her over to me. He put Gracie down and she hugged my legs. I ran my fingers through her curly hair.
Carlos lit the candles on the cake and everyone started to sing happy birthday to me. I couldn't help bit laugh at Logan and James, who were making funny faces behind Carlos. Oh how I have missed my boys.
"Mom's recording it." Kendall whispered in my ear.
I just turned my head and smiled at him.
"Jade, time to blow out the candles." Alexa winked at me.
"Mommy, can I help." Gracie gave me her best puppy dog face.
"Of course you can Baby Girl."
Kendall grabbed a chair and placed it in front of Gracie so she could stand on it. I placed my hand on her back as she leaned over the cake.
"On the count of three." Gracie looked at me and nodded. "One, two, three."
On three we both blew, half the candles went out and the other half flickered, but didn't go out.
"Trick candles, Mommy."
"I wonder who's brilliant idea that was."
"James."
"Really, how do you know?"
She just grinned at me.
"That's what I thought." I kisses the top of her head.
When we finally got the candles out, I left the cake cutting to Kathy. She handed me the first two pieces. I took the cake and Gracie over to a table and sat down. I was excited to see that the cake was red velvet my favorite.
"So I did good on the cake?" Kendall sat next to me.
"Oh yeah." I grinned at him. "I'd kiss you, but there is no kissing of the kid."
"That's not fair."
"Take up with the Princess." I shrugged and put another fork full of cake in my mouth.
He just groaned and walked away from the table.
"What's wrong with Daddy?"
"I'm not sure Sweet Heart." I smiled at her. "How about you go ask Aunt Cassie if we can do presents?"
"Who says you get any presents?" She asked with a straight face
I just raised an eyebrow at her. She just started to giggle. I shook my head and pushed my plate away.
"You my child, are crazy."
"Grandpa says I get it from you."
"I'm sure he does." I looked at her. "Now why don't you go ask Aunt Cassie about the presents."
"Fine Mommy, you win."
"I know."
She rolled her eyes, but went off to find Cassie.
"Finally, she's gone." Kendall sat back down next to me.
"I sent her to find Cassie to ask about presents."
"Who said you were getting any presents?"
"I do, because if I don't, you aren't getting anything."
"Meaning what?"
"You and hand will become really close." I smiled at him.
"Oh really? He raised an eyebrow at me.
"You better believe it." I grinned at him.
"Anyone ever tell you that you don't play fair?"
"All the time Love." I patted his cheek. "All the time."
"I love you." He kissed my nose. "Happy Momma Bear's Day."
He placed a box onto the table in front of me.
"What is it?"
"Just open it." He laughed.
I picked up the box and opened the lid. All that was inside was a folded piece of paper. I just looked at him.
"Just open it."
I rolled my eyes and opened the paper. I had read it a few times before I looked at Kendall.
"My Mom said she'd watch Gracie while we finally take our honeymoon."
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"I hate surprises."
"I know." He grinned at me.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Because I don't wanna."
"Ugh, fine be that way."
"I promise I will make it up for it."
"You better, Mister."
"I promise I will." He kissed me.
"Good." I grinned at him. "So when do we leave?"
"Right after Allie and Cassie leave."
"How long will be gone?"
"A while."
"I need to know how much to pack."
"Don't worry about that Alexa, Cassie and Allie will be doing that for you."
"Damn you." I growled at him.
"I will tell you where we are going when we get to the airport."
"Fine."
"Stop pouting Love, here comes Gracie."
I turned my head and saw Gracie walking over to us, with Allie and Alexa behind her.
"Hi Mommy." Gracie Grinned at me.
"Hey Baby Girl, what's up with the grin?"
"It's time for presents Mommy."
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
I rolled my eyes and stood up.
~Kendall's POV~
Not long after we got done opening Jade's presents did Mom and Dad take Gracie home. Once they had left, Jade relaxed. She didn't have to worry about Gracie throwing a fit or anything.
I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I watched Jade dance with Allie and Alexa. I could tell she was having a lot of fun.
"It's been a while since I've seen my sister this happy."
I turned my head and looked at Cassie.
"You guys did most of the work." I shrugged. "All I did was give some suggestions."
"I was talking about how happy you make her." She looked at me. "But know if you hurt her again, I will castrate you with a rusty as hell spoon."
"Message received."
"You have no idea how lucky you are that she even took you back."
"Why is that?"
"Because of how much you hurt her, I have a feeling you won't be so lucky next time."
I just nodded.
"But maybe you will. She loves you so much. Just try not to break her heart again."
"I love her."
"I know you do, but that doesn't mean that your actions, no matter how good you may thing they may be, can hurt her."
"James told you didn't he?"
"Told me what?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
"You won't say anything to her will you?"
"Despite what you may think, I like you Kendall, I don't want my sister killing you. But you should tell her before she finds out from someone else."
"I don't know how."
"Just tell her." She smiled at me and walked away.
I sighed and ran my finger through my hair. She was right, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I can handle this on my own. I think.
"You okay little Brother?"
"Yeah." I looked at Kevin. "I'm good."
"You sure? You don't look okay."
"Cassie promised to castrate me with a very rusty spoon if I hurt Jade."
"That would explain the look on your face then." He laughed. "So how did she like her present?"
"She was shocked to say the least. I didn't tell her where we were going or how long we'll be gone."
"Do you have a death wish?"
"No, she's gonna play along with me for now." I grinned at him.
"She's gonna ask everyone one."
"I know, and they know not to tell her."
"Do you really think Logan or James can keep their mouths shut?"
"If they know what's good for him, they will."
"And what are you gonna do?"
"Not me, their girlfriends."
"That's just wrong Little Brother."
"I gotta do what I gotta do." I laughed as Jade danced over to us. "Hey Baby."
"Come dance with me Sexy." She grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the dance floor.
Some Britney song was on as Jade and I danced. I really had no idea what I was doing, I was just following Jade. She wrapped her arms around my neck and grinned at me.
"I love seeing you so happy."
"You make me happy."
"Ditto." I bent my head and kissed her.
She pulled away from about me. "Let's get out of here."
"And go where?"
"Where do you think?"
"Tell me."
She grabbed the front my pants and squeezed lightly.
"Right," I stepped away from her hand. "Let's get you home."
"That's a good idea." She grinned at me. "If not I may just jump you now."
"You're in a good mood tonight."
"You have no idea how much of a good mood I'm in." She grinned up at me. "I can't wait to show you."
"You are a damn tease woman."
"It's why you married me, my Love."
I groaned and pulled her off the dance floor and towards the exit. Everyone else can clean up, I was taking my wife home and letting her have her way with me.
