Kelly and Jason

Liza was down for a nap which gave Kelly and Jason some down time. Kelly had been asking for advice from those of us that had gone through the toddler phase with our kids whenever she was unsure of something. At one point Kelly and Jason like me and my family had gotten a phone call from Jen and Jethro asking if they’d like to come over for dinner. Kelly had said yes and that they would be over as soon as Liza woke up from her nap.
“Who called?” Jason asked.
“My parents.”
“Is Jen in labor or something?”
“No, she’s not due for another two months.”
“Then why did they call?”
“To invite all of us over for dinner. They invited Jaylyn and her family too.”
“Oh great two pregnant women under one roof.”
“We have no choice, Jason. If we don’t go then we won’t hear the end of it from Dad.”
“Okay, so when are we leaving?”
“As soon as Liza is up.”
“Okay.” Jason said as he leaned in to kiss Kelly.
“I can see where you’re going with this and as much as I’d like to, we can’t; we don’t have time to.”
“Come on, babe. We have time.”
“I’m not in the mood.”
Meanwhile over at my house, I had just gotten off the phone with Jen and went to find the rest of my family. Nick was easy to find, some may say that since Nick and I were soul mates that it was more than easy for us to find each other. Sometimes I akin us to Edward and Bella as well as to Alice and Jasper, Nick and I mirrored each other. We also tend to mirror each others moves. Nick was in the study.
“What’s goin’ on babe?” Nick asked as he took me into his arms.
“Jen just called asked us to come to dinner tonight.”
“Just us or us and the girls?”
“Well seeing how I am six months pregnant with our daughter and my sister knows that, she would obviously invite all of us.” I answered.
“You weren’t like this the last two pregnancies.”
“I was also younger the last two times, hell the first time I was a newlywed at the same time.”
“So you’re a pro by now.”
“You could say that, now do me a favor?”
“And what do you want, my crimson haired femme fatale?”
“Shut up and kiss me.”
Nick obliged. As we kissed we had an audience.
“If you two don’t mind getting a room, then maybe I can get my appetite back.” JD said.
I pulled away from Nick to address our daughter.
“I wouldn’t be talking if I were you.”
JD had that look on her face that said “What the hell are you getting at?”
“Oh come on Jennifer, don’t act like you were on the couch the other day making out with your boyfriend.” I said.
“I’m not beside, I am suppose to be doing stuff like that. And if you hadn’t interrupted Dave and I then things would have gone the way that I had want them to.”
“You know the rules, JD.” Nick said trying keep me even tempered.
“ I don’t see why I can’t kiss my boyfriend in the house when you guys kiss, make-out and have sex whenever you want.”
“Your father and I can do what we want when we want to cause we’re married.” I said as held up my hand.
“So what.”
“Don’t so what me Jennifer. Until you have your own set of rings on your hand, you don’t get to have the same privileges that I have.”
“Whatever.” JD said as she started to leave.
“JD, go get ready and tell your sisters to get ready as well. We’ll be leaving soon to go your aunt and uncle’s for dinner.”
“Ziva and Tony’s?”
“No not Aunt Ziva and Uncle Tony’s. Aunt Jen and Uncle Jethro’s.” I said.
“Okay.”
JD went to tell the twins and to get ready herself.
“Now where were we?” I asked as I turned back to Nick.
“Right about here.” Nick answered as we went back to kissing.
Little while later we had just gotten to Jen and Jethro’s for the dinner they had invited us to. Jethro answered the door after we knocked. The girls had gone in and settle in the living room. Nick, being the gentleman he always was; he let me go in before him so that I was out of the cold night air.
“How are ya, Jay?” Jethro asked.
“Just peachy, Jethro. I’m six months pregnant, the mother of three teenage daughters and the Director of an Armed Federal agency.” I said as Jethro took my coat.
Once I had gone into the kitchen where Jen and Kelly were. Liza had made her way into the kitchen and toddled her way over to Jen.
“Grammy, Grammy!!!!” Liza shouted.
While Jen picked up Liza and we dealt with the awkward silence, Nick got a chance to talk to Jethro.
“She’s been like that since after she got off the phone with Jenny. Jaylyn and JD got into one of the arguments again.
Dinner progressed and I had forgotten everything that had happened earlier. Everyone went back to their homes. When Kelly and Jason got home they put Liza to bed for the night. For a few minutes Kelly stood in the doorway of Liza’s bedroom when she had noticed the picture of Shannon she had placed on the dresser next to the door. Kelly picked the picture up.
“Wish you could be here, mom. I wish you were here to see her. Liza is just like you. I wish she was able to know you.”
Jason came up behind her.
“You’re still upset that Liza called Jen grandma tonight?”
“A bit.”
“Don’t worry she knows that she has three grandmothers.”
Kelly then turn into Jason and tucked her head into his chest.
“I miss her, I wish my mom was here to see her granddaughter.”
Once Kelly had calmed down a bit, she and Jason went to bed.
“Don’t worry, Kels; you’ve got me. Forever and For Always.” Jason said as they fell asleep.
