Second Chances

chapter twenty eight more lies

                         

It was now Easter Monday and Faith was now two months old. Janice was in the kitchen cleaning up and humming to herself while Mrs. Melissa and Miss Mona went to deliver her pastries and a big birthday cake that she finished that morning with their help.

Janice opened the fridge and smiled as she notice the cheese cake she and Ty made Saturday when they came back from Faiths christening. She bites her lips as she remembered how Tyler had paste cake on her nose as a joke.

Then shudder as she remembered how scared she was to leave the house. She knew her child had to be christened but was scared to death of going outside. Ty and his entire family tried to sooth her fears but to no avail.

Finally after what seems like forever they finally got her in the vehicle she came home from the hospital in and again three of his cousins' whom was in a vehicle of their own drive in front of their vehicle and three drives behind in another.

But that didn't stop her from shaking with fear and looking behind her every few seconds. Ty and Caleb then began showing her how to use the digital camera to take photos of the christening and she didn't realized how much they had distracted her until they pull into the church parking lot.

Walking into the church a part of her felt like royalty surrounded by her protectors and another part of her felt guilty for putting them through all that, not that they mind of course. They took their role very seriously. She wanted to leave right after the christening but they convinced her to stay for the rest of the service. Caleb and Tyler didn't leave her side throughout the rest of the service.

She knew she didn't stand a chance with Ty but it was obvious to her, Miss Alice and Miss Mona that she had fallen deeply in love with him.

The whole family was at Faith's christening except for Mr. Jackson who had to attend a meeting but he was the one that took her and faith to the hospital for Faith's six weeks clinic checkup, along with her protection detail of course; at which time he express just how sorry he was about her test results.

She was putting the cake mixer together the way Mrs. Melissa had shown her when Anna walked into the kitchen. "Hi Janice." She said with a bright smile. "Hi Anna how are you." "Oh I'm fabulous thank you; wow, you look radiant today." Anna compliment her and after taking a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of cheese cake, a muffin and a glass of milk she took a seat at the counter.

"It's amazing that you can eat all that and still look so good; you've a great shape; unlike me." Janice mumbles. "Oh come on, I would pay to have your assets; those water coconuts and that J. Lo butt; please; the rest is just baby fat and since we've already gotten the go ahead from your doctor we'll be hitting the gym every day." She said taking a big bite of her muffin then burst out laughing when she saw Janice looking down at herself with a puzzled look on her face.

"What water coconuts and J Lo butt?" Janice asks twisting trying to look at her butt. "Oh trust me, you're packing you just don't know it yet. You only need to lose about twenty or maybe thirty pounds and you will have the perfect body." She said with her mouth full.

"By the way, Cousin Sandra will be coming here tomorrow to see you; she was supposed to come back a few days ago but had to stay longer because of business." She said licking her fingers.

It truly amazed Janice how much the girl could eat; where did all that food go because it surely didn't show on her. "She's coming back today and she can't wait to meet you." Anna continues. "And I can't wait to meet her; I've heard so much about her; it's like I already know her."
