waiting for babies

Jack sighed as Robert explained "but to do that to her, I guess he saw her weakened state and took advantage of it " he said becoming siltly angry at himself for not being around at the time "the ministry had sent me on a mishion , I left her alone when the school was under attack with Andrew, who was still fairly new born, I still won't forgive my self for that " he gave a deep sigh "I found Andrew with a student, they said she had just disapeared leaving him in the main hall, I knew then something was wrong as she would never abandon him." he stood up and walked to a window looking out as he finished his whisky gazing out over the farm.

"Jack, you've got to let go of that or you're going to become as crippled by your guilt as she was by her fear. Stop that. It's in the past. She's healed. You're both fine. Let go of the past and start looking forward to your wedding and your twins. The more you live in the past like that, the less you can enjoy all the wonderful things in your life now and can't begin to see the even better things in your future. It never does any good living in the past. Stop it and let it go. You and Jess better be directing your attentions now towards a wedding. Not all this unnecessary doom and gloom. It isn't healthy for you, and it certainly isn't healthy for her."

Jack nodded then turned to face him "Your right , she's back and thats all that matters " he said now feeling as if as great weight had been taking off his shoulders "and your right , I still have the rings to get my suit to pick up , ow .. who will pick up jessica's dress I can't do that, bad luck an all " he said moving to sit back on the couch reatching into his pocket he took out a piece of paper "ok , cake ordered , rings ,phew have those safe at the house, venuge... " he paused and looked at Robert wondering if he would agree to let them have it at the farm.

"Yes, you can have it here," Robert said, laughing, "Not a problem. We'll just add a chapel to the house for the day. What about cake, food, caterers? Or are you planning on conjuring all of that? I'm sure Katherine would pick up the dress. I'll have her get with Jess about that. What about flowers? I'm not sure your list is complete. You'd better get with Jess and go over your plans again." He laughed gently at the nervous groom.

jack sighed and smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck "Thanks, yeah, i guess theres more to this that i thought , I could use some help with this i am hope less with all the flowers and stuff like you said, it would be nice to have some one elses help" he said looking down at his list "aw the brides buquet i haven't ordered that yet, I don't even know what colors she wants. "he slapped his for head an joted it down . pausing for a moment he sat back realising he actually now looked forward to it, then he realised would come the brith of his two children, he hope at lest one would be a boy but if not he had Andrew.

"Yes, you do need some help. And, take it from me. A bride wants to do her own planning. You need to talk to her before you go any further. If she is feeling stronger, I will have her up a bit from time to time so she doesn't lose all her physical strength." He checked his watch. "Why don't you go in and say hello. I'm sure Katherine is going to be preparing dinner any time now. We need her to be ready to eat. Hopefully with her fear gone, she'll be able to eat tonight. I have to wake Khaat too."

Jack smiled he had ben waiting to hear that all day. Slipping away the paper and pen he stood up and with a nod headed up the stairs back to where Jessica slept , quietly he opened the door once more now feling only Jessica's presance in the room. slowly he moved to sit on the floor by her face as he watched her sleep for a moment "jessica" he called softly "jessica my love time you woke up" he spoke soflty so not to startle her smiling as he saw her stir "hey sleepy head " he said as he gently kissed her , he felt her hand touch his cheek brushing the back of it as she had done in hagrid hut that night he had kissd her for the first time and smiled.

"I'd love to do more, but in your condition i think the kids would complain" he said holding her hand in hisas he felt her chuckle. Jessica looked at him and smiled "they may do just that " she said "them and my doctor too" she said softly with a deep sigh "I missed you" she said before giving him yet another kiss before her tummy growled with the smell of food "ow good food" she said swinging her legs over the side of the bed.Jack smiled and stepped back his hands resting on her thighs as he helped her swing her legs over the edge of the bed, once he was sure she was upright he reatched for her dressing gown and held it for her to slip it on but to his suprise she accioed it and slipped it on her self leaving a supried Jack "what .. I have been dressing myself since i was small " she said grinning at his stunned face.

Katherine was busy putting dinner together, in an odd mix of muggle style and wizard style cooking. She was making a chicken stew and salad, and fresh biscuits. She had a peach cobbler for dessert. Robert went into the living room and woke Khaat slowly. "Your mother is making dinner, Sweetheart," he said gently as Khaat woke slowly. He sat just stroking her hair for a moment. He touched her forehead. "Lay still for a second. I'll be right back." He went into the kitchen and got a cup of tea and mixed a bit of sugar in it with a dose of a potion for her. He brought it back. "Your bloodsugar is a bit low. You haven't been eating, my girl. Drink up. You'll feel better. It's not a full cup. You should be able to do that in a couple sips." Khaat managed easily and was feeling better in moments. "You know I have to go home after dinner, Daddy," Khaat said, "I have kids to take care of. " "They're teenagers. They'll manage for a few more minutes until you eat," Robert said. He helped her up and took her to the kitchen, keeping a strong arm under her, just to ease his own anxieties. He sat her at the table. Khaat's mother looked at her and glared at Robert unhappily. "You get her more of that tea, Robert Thomas," she ordered. Robert looked back at Khaat, "You heard your mother. I'll be right back." He fixed her another cup of tea while Katherine began setting serving dishes full of food onto the already set table.

Jack shoook his head "never seen you use magic for a while" he said trying to avoid bringing up any bad memoriesJessicaheld out her hand for him to help her stand up. Taking it he gently pulled her to her feet holding her against him as he smiled .

Jessica looked up at him her arms around his strong body "hey food" she said but could not resist a quick kiss and fondle of him , with a teasing grin as she saw the frustration on his face and herds the groan he gave "ok tough guy do you think you could take me down stairs or do i have to bring out the big guns" she giggled.

Jack felt her kiss and his eyes almost bugged out as she moved lower, he groaned knowing he could do nothing but he like this side of her and smiled "I love you jessica" he said softly into her ear his voice no louder than a whisper but enouph that she would hear him.

Jessica smile seeing the look on his face as she touched him, then she herd those words spoken softly she sighed "I love you to Jack"she said resting ehr head on him "ok,mushy stuffs over, now food" she said moving s he helf her around her waist as they moved down and into the kitchen "god that smells wonderfull Katherine" she said taking a deep breath.

"Its just a simple chicken stew, with buttermilk biscuits, and tossed salad," Katherine smiled. "I'm glad to see you up and feeling so much better. Have a seat and fix your plate. There's plenty. Help yourself. Khaat, you fix your plate, and no skimping--you hear me?" Khaat laughed, helping herself to some salad.
