Journey Of Hearts

56. Food

A small meow comes from my side and I smile before kissing Leah on the nose. She boops me back with her nose and Smores stands on his back legs as he looks at the sleeping baby in my arms. Lusha does the same in front of me. They have done it since we came home last night.

As I walk from the nursery, Blaze smiles looking up from his toys. "Did sissy feed?"

"She did." I smile, while laying our daughter in the bassinet and Jade walks over with a snack and a glass of water for me. "Thank you."

"I noticed the cats followed you in there." Jade smiles as they go to the cat tree.

I nod. "They did but none of them jump into her bed. Leah got on the arm of the rocking chair opposite of where I was holding the baby." I smile. They have not been far from her as they haven't scared from her cries or anything since we came home. At night, we will close her door as we don't want them in there unless we can watch for now.

"What sounds good for dinner?" Jade smiles as we sit on the couch and Blaze hands the remote to Jade as he wants a movie to watch.

"Do you want to order out or cook?"

"Let's order out." Jade leans back after he starts a movie for Blaze.

I pick up my phone as I sip on the water and scroll through the options. "Which one do want Blaze? There is pasta, pizza, Chinese." I begin listing.

"Pizza!" Blaze whisper cheers and Jade nods with a smile.

I place a order for the food we like and put my phone back down before eating the beef stick in hand, before finishing the glass of water. After some time there is a knock at the door and Jade stands to get our pizza, though the delivery people normally ring the doorbell.

"Come on in." Jade laughs.

"I didn't want to distrib anyone so I knocked." I hear Nalle's soft voice and stand from the couch. I smile seeing her and Samuel walk through the door. "We got the pizza since the lady pulled up right as we were."

"Thanks. Want some?" Jade offers as he takes the boxes.

"No, we actually brought this." Samuel holds up bags and I see it is Chinese food. We all laugh and move to the kitchen as I roll the bassinet to the table.

Nalle gushes over the baby and looks up to Jade and I, as he places a plate down for Blaze. "Can I hold her?"

"Of course." I smile and watch as she picks the baby up. After a couple seconds, Samuel coughs and smiles wide.

"Getting practice." He teases.

My mouth drops open and Nalle looks up. "We are expecting our first baby." I whisper scream for her and Jade gives Samuel one of those man hugs.

Samuel walks over and smiles before looking to Jade and I, as Jade wraps his arm around my waist. "What is her name?"

"Wendy." I smile.

Samuel holds Wendy as Jade and I make our plates and Nalle lays Wendy in her bassinet then makes a plate. We sit around the table eating with laughter filling the air. Blaze finishes and hugs me tight before he races to the living room to watch his movie and play with his toys.

"Have you told anyone else your pregnant?" I look to Nalle.

"Kaira and Erik then you guys." Nalle smiles wide. "We were over there this morning for breakfast and Kaira had this ginger tea that helped soothe over the morning sickness that recently started and so far I been able to eat all day."

Jade and Samuel grabs cans of soda as we sit around the table talking after eating dinner. Nalle and I talk over different ideas that she has already came up with the nursery and is thinking of a gender neutral one as they want to get started on it after the first trimester is over. While Samuel looks over Jade's tablet that has been working slower.

Wendy cries lightly and I pick her up from the bassinet. Nalle 'awes' over her a bit more before I walk to the nursery to feed Wendy. As I get the nursing bra back in place, the door opens slightly and Jade looks in.

"Samuel and Nalle say bye." He smiles. "They left for the evening."

"Was Samuel able to help your tablet work faster?"

Jade nods with a soft smile as he holds it in his hands. I know that is the last thing he will want to part with due to the sentimental value it holds for him.

I change Wendy's diaper and we go back to the living room. As I hold Wendy and look around the house, I smile taking in all the happiness. A small laugh escaping through my lips at the banner we have not took down that Frankie and Max hung up by the back door for Wendy.

Blaze sits beside me as a new movie is started. Before long his breathing softens and I look down to see his head on my arm, fast asleep. Jade looks over and smiles wide, before getting up and helping Blaze to bed. I stand up and bath Wendy then place a onsie on her before kissing her forehead before Jade does the same and I lay her in her crib.

As Jade and I sit on the couch together, I lean into his embrace. My finger tracing a over his arm to his wedding band. Jade changes the movies and we settle on a rom-com we hadn't watched. After a couple minutes, I turn and rest my head on Jade's shoulder so our chests are pressed together while watching the movie.

My mind goes to all the love we have in our lives. All the family and friends have been by to visit and see Wendy. Excitement bubbles through me as I can't wait to see what our future holds.
