fullest. What’s the point of having money if it’s just going to sit in a bank?”
He’s right. I’ve been sticking my head in the sand over something he can’t control and it’s a blessing not a curse.
“You’re absolutely right. There are so many people who would be grateful for all we’ve been blessed with. We should make an effort to not only live but to help others, as well.”
“Whatever makes you happy, babe.” He pulls me close and kisses me senseless in the middle of the sidewalk. I can’t imagine a day where he won’t take my breath away with his kisses. The ringing of his phone cuts our PDA short.
“Hello, this is Jake.”
He answers the phone that way whenever he doesn’t recognize the number. It’s his professional voice and it’s sexy as hell. I wish he’d use it on me sometimes. Maybe after the baby comes we can role play a bit.
“Thank you very much for letting me know. We’ll be by tomorrow to take care of the paperwork. You have a good rest of your day, as well.”
When he puts his phone back in his pocket, he pulls me back into his embrace and kisses me again. “We’ve got a new house, April,” he says with a beaming smile as he pulls back to see my reaction.
I knew we would get it, but that was fast. I don’t think I ever want to know the obscene amount of money we just paid for that house. You can’t put a price on dreams so no matter what, it was it was worth it.
“Oh my god, Jake, it’s really happening. Our kids are going to grow up with their family and we’ll be here to see them all the time. We won’t miss out on everything anymore.”
“Nope, not a thing, and it will be nice to be so close to everyone. As long as all the inspections come back clear, we can move in when they’re done. She said since it’s cash, the owners are willing to turn over the keys as soon as we give them the cashier’s check.”
“We have so much packing to do. How will we ever get it done that fast?”
“Forget the packing, I’m more concerned about the yard. The new one is much bigger… we need more Halloween decorations.” He’s joking, but I’m not.
“Seriously, Jake, it’s a lot of work and with your job and mine…”
“Shh, April, we’ll hire movers. Don’t worry about it. I don’t want you trying to move or pack anything, anyway.”
“Jake, I don’t want strange people packing my underwear and stuff. No.”
He’s laughing at me, but I’m serious; I don’t want strange people all up in my sex toys.
“Babe, I’ll pack all our clothes and our toys. Come on, do you really think I want some guy or girl getting pervy with our stuff? We’ll just have them do all the other things.”
“Okay. So can we go tell everyone now?” I ask excitedly.
“Of course,” he answers as I pull him toward Daniel’s house.
In typical Jake fashion, he just walks inside without knocking.
“Nice to see some things never change. You still act like you belong everywhere,” Connor says when we walk inside.
“That’s because I do belong everywhere, little brother. Get used to it because you’re going to be seeing a lot more of me.”
“Dude, I see your ugly mug every day at work. How much more of you could I possibly need to see?”
While those two have their usual banter, I work my way over to Jess and hold my hands out for Hope. Unlike her brother, she’s wide awake and such a wiggle worm. Jess happily passes her to me.
“Hello, Hope. Give Auntie April kisses.” Hope loves giving kisses and Zayden is more of a cuddler; they’re too adorable for words. Zayden looks like Connor and Hope looks like Jess.
“I thought you were spending the weekend with Maryanne? What made you guys come back early?”
Before she has the chance to answer, Connor yells out, “Holy shit, dude. You guys bought a house here?” Instantly, Hailey is at his feet, holding out her hand for more swear money. She’s going to be good with money; she’s collecting and it’s not even
