By the following morning the rest of us had found out what had happened over at Tony and Ziva's the night before. There was a bit of comfort knowing that I didn't exactly have to worry about JD sneaking her boyfriend, Dave into the house for their own physical endeavors. This was just one of the upsides to having twin fifteen year old daughters that were always around. Believe me I wasn't kidding myself into thinking that my nineteen year old daughter didn't sleep with Dave, the days of being young and in love weren't as distant for me as they were for some of the others. It was one of the benefits of being the youngest from the NCIS collective.
i was a typical Saturday for us. Like the traditional Saturday morning most families that lived in America had; I was in the kitchen cooking breakfast while Nick sat at the kitchen table reading the paper. All three girls were in the living room watching Saturday morning cartoons just like they had since they were younger. Being a month away from my expectant due date with Jayla; I pictured all four of my girls keeping the tradition going themselves and eventually with their own families someday. Before I knew it, JD had come in to see how breakfast was coming and to ask if it was okay for Dave to come over. When it came to something one of the girls wanted they'd always ask me instead of asking Nick.
"Hey Mom, can Dave come over to spend some time with me later? He said he had something important to ask me."
"Yeah sure, do me a favor and tell your sisters to wash up; breakfast is almost ready. Wash up too." I answered.
After putting breakfast on the table I had gone over to Nick.
"I think you should wash up too, Mister." I said as I bent over a bit in front of Nick just long enough to distract him from the paper.
"That is not fairm once the baby is here you won't be able to rely on your assets as much."
"Watch me." I said feeling a bit challenge.
As Nick went to wash for breakfast he kissed me on the forehead.
"Your mom is such a tease, Jayla." Nick said to my stomach before he left to wash up.
After Nick left the room, Jayla kicked my stomach.
"Its okay; Jayla, Mommy and Daddy are just playing with each other." I said to Jayla.
After that we all sat down for breakfast. Once the family breakfast was done; JD, Jayden and Jocelyn cleaned up while Nick and I relaxed together in the living room. Nick and I sat down on the living room couch; after Nick had sat down he had put on the baseball game he was waiting for while I decided to rest my head on his lap as I read the latest J.D. Robb book I had. As I read an idea popped into my head.
"Hey, what would you say to taking a trip to the beach after Jayla is born? Just us, Jen and Jethro, Tony and Ziva, McGee and Abs, Kate and Drew; maybe even Palmer and AJ." I asked during a commercial break.
"Sounds good to me. When after Jayla is born would you want to go?"
"Maybe a month or so after. I'm gonna want to fit back into my bikini once Jayla is here. Knowing Jen, she's gonna want to be able to fit in her bikini too once she has her three."
"Okay, but I don't know if I can get off of work; my boss is kind of a hard ass when it comes to time off." Nick said with a mischievous tone.
"I'll see what I can do about her and your time off." I said as I winked at Nick.
Midway through the game a few things happened. Dave came over .
"JD, we've been together for a few months now and for those few months I have fallen head over heels for you. Please do me the honor of marrying me?" Dave asked JD in front of Nick and me.
"Yes."
After JD had said yes to Dave's proposal and the ring was slipped onto JD's hand, the house phone rang. It was Jethro telling us that Jen was in labor. I instantly switched modes and told my family that we were going to the hospital.
Before I knew it, besides Jen being in labor and my nineteen year old daughter being engaged; things were gonna get interesting even more by this time the following night.
