Having the support of the one you love is the only support that matters. To have someone support me in my dreams and my vision, challenge me to be better, to go beyond the average that pulls out the greatness in me and is my biggest fan. Someone that truly loves me will invest and support me even though I have the weirdest ambitions.
Today we are going over to Jackson so I can meet the two guys that will become part of my crew. Ava is beyond excited cause she is going to see Kayley’s babies. She is sitting on the bed waiting for me to get finished.
Ava ~”Baby bugs, we are going to meet your friends today. Are you excited? Mommy is very excited.”
Trayton ~”Mommy looks so cute when she is talking to her tummy.”
Ava ~”Mommy is talking to baby bugs and not her tummy.”
Trayton ~”Mommy is grumpy today, I think she needs some strawberry milk.”
Ava ~”Aaahhh please go get me some.”
Trayton ~”We going to leave just now, I will grab it on our way out.”
Ava ~”Is Dominic coming with us?”
Trayton ~”No not today baby girl.”
I slip a shirt over my head and go to lift her cute ass off the bed.
Trayton ~”Come baby girl, lets go.”
Downstairs, I quickly grab her a strawberry milk and we out the door. I watch how she wobbles as she makes her way to the car.
Ava ~”Trayton stop watching my ass wobble.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl I can’t help it, it just looks so funny.”
Ava ~”Funny is going to be the flat end of my hand against your face.”
Trayton ~”You very aggressive today, it must be a girl.”
Ava ~”Are you saying girls are aggressive?”
Trayton ~”I am saying my girls are aggressive.”
Ava ~”Just stop talking shit and help me in this damn car of yours.”
I help her slide into the seat and make my way around to get into the driver’s side. I press the engine to start and floor the pedal, I watch her face as I push the car to sixty in less than two seconds.
Ava ~”If I did not like that so much then I would have slapped you.”
Trayton ~”Yup, it is definitely a girl.”
Ava ~”Well we might find out on Friday, are you excited?”
Trayton ~”Baby girl I can’t wait. When do you think we can feel the baby bugs move?”
Ava ~”Baby I am not sure, I don’t think I will even know how it is supposed to feel like.”
Trayton ~”Like little butterflies?”
Ava ~”I see someone has been reading his books.”
Trayton ~”Baby I don’t want to miss a single thing.”
Ava ~”Is this new JOB of yours not going to take you away from home?”
Trayton ~”No baby girl. Like I said, I can even work from home.”
Ava ~”Well let’s meet these two guys then I will decide.”
Trayton ~”There is something I wanted to ask you.”
Ava ~”God don’t tell me you want to become a serial killer too.”
Trayton ~”Hahaha you are starting to worry me.”
Ava ~”So let’s hear it then.”
Trayton ~”When do you want to get married?”
Ava ~”Baby have you seen the size of me?”
Trayton ~”I mean like after the baby bugs have been born.”
Ava ~”Baby I have not really thought about it.”
Trayton ~”Well could you kind of give it a thought because I would like to make you my wife?”
Ava ~”So if the babies are born before we are married, does it make them a Brown?”
Trayton ~”See now that is something I never thought about.”
Ava ~”Are you telling me that we should get married before they are born then?”
Trayton ~”I don’t know baby. I think we should think about it. I am sure you get lots of pregnant brides.”
An hour later we are stopping in Jackson’s driveway. Ava’s jaw drops at the sight of his house.
Ava ~”Baby this is like a damn mansion. Can you imagine all the room for the babies to play in?”
Trayton ~”We can always move to a bigger house if you want.”
Ava ~”Then mom and Kenton can live in your house.”
Trayton ~”There is an idea.”
Ava ~”You are just full of ideas today. Come let’s go inside, I can’t wait to see the babies.”
We head onto the stairs where Jackson is already waiting.
Jackson ~”Hey Ava.”
Ava ~”Hey Jackson.”
Trayton ~”Yes old man.”
Jackson ~”Your ass, I think I am younger than you.”
Trayton ~”Not a chance man.”
Jackson ~”Come in, Kayley and the babies are in the lounge.”
I see Ava’s face light up as she follows Jackson into the lounge.
Kayley ~”Hey you two.”
Ava ~”Oh my god they are absolutely gorgeous.”
Kayley ~”This little lady is Jaime.”
Jackson ~”And that is my man Kaiden.”
Trayton ~”For an ugly man you make beautiful babies.”
Jackson ~”Hey this ugly man worked very hard to make those two precious monkeys.”
Kayley ~”If I remember correctly it was quite fast and not very hard.”
Jackson ~”Hey those monkeys’ ears are going to zing with that dirty mouth.”
Kayley ~”What was so dirty about that? You just feeling embarrassed.”
Jackson ~”Yes that too but I am sure Trayton and Ava did not come here to hear about our sex life.”
Trayton ~”Ava just came here for the babies. That is all she spoke about on our way here.”
Ava ~”Your bum, you are lying, we spoke about my fat ass getting married like this.”
Trayton ~”I did not say your ass is fat, I said it wobbles.”
Ava ~”Why don’t you go talk boy things before I slap you?”
I clasp her face in my hands and place a soft kiss on her forehead.
Trayton ~”Shout if you need anything.”
Ava ~”Thanks baby.”
Jackson and I make our way into the kitchen where four of his men are standing around having a glass of whiskey.
Jackson ~”You want a whiskey.”
Trayton ~”Yes, why not.”
Jackson ~”You remember these two idiots?”
Trayton ~”How is it Drake, Matthew?”
Matthew ~”Hey Trayton.”
Drake ~”How’s it going?”
Trayton ~”Misses is driving me crazy with her cravings.”
Matthew ~”I remember boss had to buy the pastry shop because Kay ate so many pastries.”
Trayton ~”Fuck then I should go buy a dairy farm.”
Drake ~”Hahaha that is hilarious.”
Matthew ~”You find anything hilarious.”
Drake ~”And you are an idiot.”
Matthew ~”Your ass is an idiot.”
Drake ~”At least my ass is something.”
Jackson ~”Fuck you two are not going to start.”
Drake ~”He started it.”
Matthew ~”He carried on.”
Jackson ~”You see what I have to work with. I tried getting you two that are a bit cleverer.”
Trayton ~”I doubt that anyone could be dumber than that Joseph.”
Jackson ~”This is Gunner, his name says it all, and he is lethal with a gun or any other weapon you put in his hand. Fuck he can even kill you with a broomstick.”
Gunner ~”Morning boss.”
Trayton ~”Boss?”
Jackson ~”Get used to it, they won’t call you anything else, it is a sign of respect.”
Trayton ~”Hey Gunner.”
Jackson ~”Then this is Damian. He is the one with the brains, he protects you and looks after you and Ava, and he does anything you tell him to do. He runs things when you can’t.”
Damian ~”How is it boss?”
Trayton ~”Great thanks Damian.”
Jackson ~”I would give you a third one but you got Dominic.”
Trayton ~”You don’t have a problem with that?”
Jackson ~”Not at all, I know how loyal he is to you. Now that thing I wanted to talk to you about.”
Trayton ~”We talking in front of everyone?”
Jackson ~”Yes they have to know what is going on. Now you know that I had that little problem with Kayley throwing Anthony out after he disrespected her.”
Trayton ~”Yes I remember you telling me, when you and Kay split up for a bit.”
Jackson ~”Well she does not want him back and there is only one way you leave the family especially after disrespecting me and her.”
Trayton ~”And you want me to take care of that?”
Jackson ~”Call it proving your loyalty to me. Not that I doubt it for one bit, it will also built the respect from the others in the family.”
Trayton ~”How do you want this done?”
Jackson ~”That is completely up to you, just as long as it gets done.”
Trayton ~”How long do I have?”
Jackson ~”I am going to be a bitch and say a week, you need to become my underboss, while he is still around, I can’t name you it.”
Trayton ~”I will take care of it.”
Jackson ~”Perfect, Damian has all the details. Now let’s go join the girls, I will let Damian load their shit in the car.”
Trayton ~”What do you mean their shit?”
Jackson ~”You do know that they moving in with you, why do you think I am so grey, these two idiots drive me insane.”
Trayton ~”I can see a certain Misses blow a vein in her head.”
Jackson ~”Hahaha good luck with that.”
We head on back into the lounge. Ava has got little Kaiden in her arms, rocking him to sleep. The smile on her face is pure happiness, it melts my heart. She is singing him the same song that she sings to our baby bugs. I sit next to her and she whispers in my ear.
Ava ~”Do you want to hold him?”
Trayton ~”Baby girl I am going to break his little bones.”
Ava ~”Baby don’t be silly, just pretend you holding a bag of eggs.”
I take the little bundle from her and rock him in my arms. His skin is so soft, he smells like that powdery stuff you throw on their tiny bums. He’s got his little thumb tucked tight between his gums. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. To think that one day very soon I will be holding my own son.
We stay for a little longer after dark, she just cannot get enough of them. She seems to like the little boy more than the girl. Guess that is the downside of having twins, one is going to get more attention than the other one.
We say our goodbyes and leave for home. Gunner and Damian is following behind us. I have not told her that they moving in yet, I am going to have to break it to her before we get home.
Trayton ~”Baby girl.”
Ava ~”Yes baby?”
Trayton ~”I think we are going to have to look at getting a bigger house.”
Ava ~”Baby we are fine, we got the two rooms for the babies.”
Trayton ~”Well you know Gunner and Damian, they are sort of coming to stay with us.”
Ava ~”THEY ARE WHAT?”
Trayton ~”They coming to stay with us. They are working for me now and they are there to look after us.”
Ava ~”DON’T YOU THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO ASK ME FIRST?”
Trayton ~”Baby I kind of did not have a choice.”
Ava ~”Is this how this shit is going to work?”
Trayton ~”I am sorry baby, I did not think they were going to have to come live with us.”
Ava ~”If I did not love you so much then I would have slapped you.”
Trayton ~”And your hands are swollen so you can’t.”
Ava ~”Don’t remind me about that. So when are we going to go look for a house?”
Trayton ~”We can go tomorrow? That is if you are up to it, you had quite a busy day, I am sure you are tired.”
Ava ~”I will be fine in the morning. We never decided what we are going to do about the doctor being so far away. I don’t think we should go looking at buying two houses now.”
Trayton ~”We can ask doctor when we are there on Friday. Now close your eyes a bit, I will wake you up when we are home.”
When we get home, it is quite late. I get the guys settled into the two back rooms and excuse myself to bed. Ava is already in her pajamas and under the blankets waiting for me to come to bed as well.
I am standing in the bathroom, washing up when I hear her scream.
Ava ~”Aaahhh!”
I rush to the room.
Trayton ~”BABY GIRL WHAT IS WRONG?”
She is on the bedroom floor, holding her stomach. I rush to pick her up.
Trayton ~”Baby girl what is wrong?”
Ava ~”I slipped on this goddamn carpet.”
Trayton ~”Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?”
She looks down to her tummy that is when it catches my eye… she is bleeding.
Trayton ~”Baby we need to get you to a hospital!”
Ava ~”Baby no, the babies, baby the babies, did the babies get hurt?”
I scream through the house for Gunner and Damian.
Trayton ~”GUNNER! DAMIAN! WE NEED TO GET AVA TO THE HOSPITAL.”
Mom comes rushing out of her room, I have Ava in my arms, I am carrying her downstairs as Gunner and Damian come rushing by to get the car ready.
Mary ~”Tray what is wrong?”
Trayton ~”Ava fell mom, she is bleeding.”
Mary ~”God no, get her to the hospital. I will follow in my car.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl come we must go.”
I pick Ava up again and rush her to the car. The door is not even closed and Gunner is already spinning the car out the driveway.
Trayton ~”GUNNER GO FASTER.”
Gunner ~”Yes boss, I am going to floor this baby.”
Ava ~”Baby no, please baby, let the babies be okay.”
Trayton ~”Baby everything is going to be okay.”
Trayton ~”GUNNER GO FASTER.”
Ava ~”Aaahhh fuck.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl what is it?”
Ava ~”It is sore, it hurts, the pain is so bad, please make it stop, please the babies, let the babies be okay.”
Trayton ~”GUNNER GO FASTER.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl hold on, we are almost there.”
Ava ~”Aaahhh fuck make it stop.”
Trayton ~”Baby girl you are going to be okay.”
We come to a screeching halt in front of the emergency room. Gunner bolts out of the car and rushes in to get a doctor.
Dr Johnson ~”What is wrong son?”
Trayton ~”Doctor she fell, she is bleeding.”
Dr Johnson ~”Get her into an emergency room! Now!”
Trayton ~”Doctor is she going to be okay?”
Dr Johnson ~”Son I don’t know yet, we need to run tests.”
Trayton ~”Doctor can I come with you?”
Dr Johnson ~”Sorry but you will have to wait here, I will come back as soon as I have news.”
The doctor leaves the room, I smash my fist against the wall. This can’t be happening, this just can’t be happening, Ava to be okay, the babies have to be okay, this can’t be fucking happening, goddammit let them just be okay
