Begin Again

Chapter 27

“Okay now, don’t start acting like Justin.” Demi laughed. “I just have one question though.”

“Shoot.”

“If Sasha hated her mom so much, why is she going back to Africa, to where it all started?”

“She said that she found some of her family on her dad’s side, and she’s been talking to them. They told her after her dad hooked up with her mother, he went back to war, and her brother Carter was his son also, he was 19 at the time when he was killed. She said her aunts, uncles and cousins can’t wait to meet her.” I explained.

“Ah, that sounds nice.” Demi said. “And when do you and Justin get baby Jaden?”

“In two days and I can’t freaking wait.” I sung happily. “We finally got the room finished, and I’m glad Justin let me be in charge of it all. I felt like a true boss, telling everyone what to put what furniture where and what kind of paint I wanted.”

“I can’t wait to find out if I’m having a boy or a girl.” Demi smiled rubbing her stomach.

 “So are you having fun being pregnant?” I chuckled.

“Hell no! I’m not even 5 months and I wish this sucker would just pop out already.” Demi groaned. “I’m starting to get fat, and I eat everything in sight. I’m surprised Ryan hasn’t complained yet.” Demi laughed.

“I think Ryan is having a fine time taking care of you.” I laughed placing a hand on my bestfriend’s shoulder.

“BABE I’M HOME!” I heard Justin yelling from the house.

“IN THE BACKYARD!” I yelled.

Soon Justin and Ryan came out to the back patio smiling.

“Hey Demi.” Justin smiled giving her a side hug.

Ryan said hi to me before he went over to sit next to Demi.

“Hey babe.” Justin said to me again while giving me a kiss on the lips.

“Hey babe.” I repeated. “So did you two have fun?” I asked as Justin took a seat next to me.

“Yep, I believe we got everything in place.” Justin smiled.

“That’s good. What were you both out doing anyway? You said you and Ryan were going shopping. Shopping for what?”

“We went shopping for some new office supplies.” Ryan smiled.

I looked to Ryan than back at Justin raising my eyebrow and Justin just smiled and nodded his head.

Why do I have a feeling I don’t believe not one word he’s saying?

Justin’s POV:

Today was the day. Today was December 3rd which meant Selena and I are bringing our new son home.

To tell you the truth, I was excited but nervous.

I pulled up to the adoption agency with Selena in the passenger side.

Kaylie was over Selena’s parent’s house, with my mom, Jazzy and Gracie. They were excited for Jaden to come home too.

“Are you ready?” I asked slipping off my seatbelt.

“Let’s do it.” Selena smiled taking off her seatbelt as well.

Once we got out the truck, we joined hands and walked up to the door and inside, and I know my hands were becoming sweaty because Selena asked if I was okay.

“Never better,” I lied.

“Justin and Selena, hi it’s nice to see you two again.” Ms. Mottinly said smiling. “Are you excited to take your new son home?”

“Yes, we can’t wait.” Selena smiled.

Ms. Mottinly took us to the back and to our son.

There he was.

He had his eyes open, showing his green eyes, and he was smiling.

“He just woke up from a nap, and surprisingly he’s not being fussy.” Ms. Mottinly chuckled.

Even though Jaden and I weren’t blood related, he was still my son.

After picking up Jaden, we went over to Selena’s parent’s house, where everyone was waiting for us to bring Jaden.

Even Demi, Ryan, Tori, George and Andy were here.

Kaylie was happy she finally had a baby brother so she could protect. Jazzy and Gracie both were happy they were aunties to a nephew.

My mom, Mandy and Brian were happy that we adopted Jaden, because it was a good thing we were doing.

I was sitting in the backyard by myself thinking, while everyone was inside with Jaden.

I felt a pair of arms snake around my neck and a kiss on my cheek and I automatically smiled.

“What are you doing out here?” Selena asked.

“Just needed some time to think.”

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Selena chuckled.

“It’s a good thing.” I smiled to her. “I’m glad we decided to take Jaden, even though we aren’t blood related, I still feel like he’s my real son, you know?”

“I understand Justin, and he is your son. Papers and blood don’t make a family. Love does.” Selena smiled.

She moved from her seat and moved to my lap so she was sitting sideways.

“I love you so much Selena Marie Gomez.” I smiled truthfully.

“And I love you so much Justin Drew Bieber.” She smiled back.

That’s when I was 120% sure I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Selena.
