I Won't Give Up

Chapter Twenty Six: Jealous Hearts

"it's gonna hurt seeing that baby everyday and know it's not mine"

"yeah but it'll be a joy when it calls you daddy and smiles in your face, it'll be okay"

He didn't say anything he was looking around like he was thinking

Later On That Night

I was only three months into my pregnancy and my stomach was growing.

"mommy why you're stomach getting big?" AJ asked me off guard

"um" I said surprised "come here"

I held my hands out for him while I was on the bed. Abel was sleeping his high off. AJ walked over to me and sat on the bed

"well, remember how you said you always wanted a brother or sister?"

"yeah"

"they'll be here in six months"

"ugh mommy why did you eat them??"

"lol huh?"

"their in your stomach, you ate them"

"lol no baby, I took one of those pills I told you about"

"so the pill is growing?"

"yes into your brother or sister"

"what color did you twake?"

"ummm it was dark, I don't know if it was blue or pink"

"well I cant wait to fwind out"

That's my strategy of explaining where babies come from to my kids, my mother did it to me and my brothers and sisters, that's how I learned lol. You order a collection of baby pills, blue and pink ones. If you take a blue one you'll grow a baby boy if you take a pink one you'll grow a baby girl. It's easier than explaining sex lol.

"they'll be here in six months lol"

"so Novwember?"

"yup lol, smart cookie"

"lol, I hope they don't come on Thanksgiving, thwey'll ruin the food lol"

"well we can celebrate the Canadian Thanksgiving in October, I mean you are half Canadian lol"

"eww, in October, that's weird mommy, no"

"shhh don't tell daddy, I thought it was pretty weird too"

"lol okay, why is daddy always sleeping early at night now?"

"he's just under a little bit of stress now, he needs rest, he'll be okay"

"is he sick?'

"no, just feeling a little stressed out"

"about what?"

"just a lot, you'll understand when you get married"

"I don't wanna get married"

"and why not, I'm offended lol"

"because, you fwemales are weird, it would be annoying"

"well you aren't into guys are you?"

"no!!!!!! mommy!!!"

"hey theirs only one of two, girls and boys"

"well I definitely hate boys, I just don't wanna get married because it seems hard"

"well you're only five, lol no need to rush it lets wait about 20 years and see if you feel that way"

"at 25 I'll fweel that way lol"
