Joyful Times
Gerald version
So all of you know by now the whole mess. Honestly it didn't affect Dylan. It sucks how my wife is hurting by not knowing the truth I mean the keeping the whole secret. After the whole chaos of what happened between Dylan and her mother's side of the family, I thought it would be better to just stay home you know chill. I got some days off from the record company. Nobody knows that Dylan is pregnant. But it does get kinda boring here at the house. How does Dylan go through this while I'm at work. I give her props.
I was in the recording studio in my house. Hearing and editing my music. I heard Suz calling out Dylan but she was asleep. I went up to Suz room. She was wide awake. I just had to smile. Her hair was a bit of a mess just like Dylan's. Light brown hair color with waves. "Mama." Its cute how she calls one of us.
"She's asleep. But we are going to have this day just you and me." I carried her out of her crib. I carried her down the stairs to the kitchen. I sat her down in her chair. "Do you want Cheerios or.." I was looking around the kitchen to see what Suz can eat, yea this is my first time "something that you can eat." This is going to be interesting. She just looked at me "Okay can you eat something like pancakes? Cereal? Eggs with bacon?" Okay I'm a bad dad for not knowing what my daughter eats. "I don't wanna wake up Dylan." I called ma. Suz was just staring at me "I'm calling grandma hopefully she can help me a little." Then I felt guilty "Suz I'm sorry, I'm just working all the time. I promise you for now on I'm staying here with mama." She giggles "that's my princess" Ma answer me:
"Oh hi ma."
"Hi Gerald."
"Ma, can I ask you something? And I might sound like a idiot of not knowing this."
"Yes What is it?"
"Can Suz eat anything? Like anything I cook?"
"Yes she can." Then I thought about it. Can she eat my famous linguine.
"Like anything?"
"Yes." She laughs "Suz can eat anything."
"Linguine?"
"No. Not that." She laughs "are you guys still in LA?"
"No, we've been back for like a couple days now but we're just lowkey about." I need ma's help. "I hate asking you but can you come over to help me with Suz. Dylan is asleep. I don't want to wake her up. All the things she has been through with her mothers side of the family, the pregnancy. I just don't want her to stress out."
"Okay Gerald I'll be over." She told me "have you changed her diaper yet? Changed her out of her pajamas?" I looked at Suz. Shit. Forgot to do that. That's on my list to do and now know if Dylan tells me to babysit Suz or my boys for the night.
"Yeah I'll do that before you get here."
"Oh Gerald good thing you called me." She laughs. She's not wrong "don't worry Gerald. I'll be there in a bit."
"Thanks ma. I really do appreciate it."
"No problem Gerald but here's the thing, you should know how to do all this before the twins."
"Okay ma. I will. I see you here. Bye ma." I hang up. I placed my phone on the counter. I get Suz out of her chair. "Dadda has to change you up before grandma gets here." I opened the little gate that blocks the stairs going up to the room so Suz won't go up by herself. She walks a lot so we want her to be safe.
I changed her diaper and changed her to normal clothes. Okay I tried to do her hair in braids but she has Dylan's and my hair combined. Wavy brown hair and sometimes curls. So I tried to do her hair. I peeked in the door of my bedroom, Dylan is still asleep. Then Suz started walking around. away from the stairs. I started following her around. She walks back into her room. She sat down in her gigantic bear near the window. "It's quiet here don't you think Suz." She smiled "yea." She said. "My princess. After we eat breakfast do you want to head to the park with grandma for a little while?" She got her other toy "yea." She said softly. She gets up from the bed and walks out of her room. I get up and follow her. She stops since she seen the gate and looks down "woof woof." She points downstairs. Bliss was down stairs sitting. Shit I forgot to feed the dog. "You wanna go down with bliss?" She gave me the cute eyes just like Dylan's "yea." I opens the gate and carried her downstairs. I sat her down on the couch. Bliss sat next to her. She was petting bliss. Suz loves bliss as much as Dylan loves her. Don't get me wrong she is the family dog who protect us. "What am I going to do with all this cuteness you have?" She giggles "you got that from mama. But half of it was from me." I laughed.
Ma came in. "Look at all that cuteness. You were waiting for me?" She looks at Suz hair "what happened to her hair Gerald?"
"Ma I tried to do her hair. But it's so nice to see you." I gave her a hug.
"Okay I'm here now. Breakfast will be done in 15 minutes." She went to the kitchen and started cooking. Ma finished cooking breakfast. I was thinking in my head so many things. If I can't take care of my daughter I can't take care of my two boys. "Ma?" She looked at me while she was feeding Suz. "Do you think I make a good dad?"
"Why yes! Why are you asking me that question?"
"I don't know. I couldn't take care of my daughter today and I'm afraid that I won't be a good dad, it'll just make me feel like I'm like my own father, abandoning their kids. I work for my family, Dylan can't work since she's hiding the pregnancy and doesn't want the world to know. Like today it shown me I wasn't ready to be a dad, it should happened like years later. And now it's sounds like I don't want Suz or the twins or I don't love them but I do love them a lot. I'm just scared Ma. I don't want to fuck up like my father did with me and James."
"Gerald, you're the best father that Suz and those twins can ask for. I know it's scary having three kids. I had to raise two boys on my own remember. The one thing I did was raising you and your brother to be good men for some day to be a dad. Look Suz is a easy baby. Hardly does anything. You'll be fine because I know my son will be there all the time." Oh shit Ma has the key of wisdom.
"Yeah Ma I guess you're right. I'm just panicking. I just can't wait for them to come." We cleaned the kitchen after we were all done with breakfast. Suz was sitting quietly with bliss in the couch. "Ma. Are you busy later?"
"No, what is it?"
"I was wondering if we can take Suz and bliss to the park for a while. The one near here."
"Okay we can take them now." She was done washing the dishes "get Suz stroller and bliss leash."
"Got it." I walked out with the stuff. Suz was happy. Ma has to be sitting next to her. "Let me just tell this to Dylan. I don't want her to panic when she wakes up and not see us." Ma nodded her head yes. I unlocked the little gate. Walked upstairs to the bedroom. I sat down next to her. "Baby, I'm taking Suz and bliss to the park with ma. I'll be back in a bit."
She wakes up. "Okay baby."
"How are my boys? How are you feeling?"
"We're fine. A little bit better than the other days thanks to you baby." She kisses me "how is it taking care of Suz?"
"Pretty interesting." She laughs "it's going pretty good that I had to call Ma for help. But I'm getting ready so when these two come along I'll have more experience. She's a pretty easy baby."
"She got that from you."
"She the cuteness out from both of us." We laughed together "I'll be back soon. So we can do something together."
"I was going to take a bath while you're at the park with Suz."
"Okay whatever make my queen happy then I'm happy." I kissed her "I love you."
"I love you ger. Take care." I leave the room. Ma was waiting down stairs with Suz in her stroller and bliss on her leash. We left the house, I locked the door. It was nice peaceful walk to the park. Ma was telling me so many things about the past of how she use to take me and James to the park.
We arrived to the park. Suz was unbuckled from the stroller, she carefully went up the playground. Bliss went to go follow her. "I don't think bliss should be up there."
"Ma, bliss can't be away from Suz she loves her a lot meaning protecting her." I see her sitting down on a slide. The same slide where I lost my virginity. Great. Ugh. She was ready to go down the slide. I went to the end of the slide. "Ready to go down Suz?" She giggled. She went down and I catch her. "Was that fun huh?" She giggles. Then I let her go down and she grabs my hand "Suz I think I can't go up there. I'm to tall." She still walked me up the the playground. "Ma, how can I go down this slide? I don't think I can't go down, I can't bend or put my long legs down this slide."
My mom laughed "just try she wants you to go down the slide with her." I sat down on the top of the slide then I grabbed Suz to sit her on my lap. "See you could fit on the slide but your legs are already in the middle going down."
"Ready?" I asked her as one of my arm had her holding. "Yea." Suz said. We went down the slide. She couldn't stop laughing. The she looked at the swings and her finger pointed at the swings "you wanna go there for a while before we go back?" She gave me the cute eyes "yea." She answered quietly. I carried her going to the swings then sat her down. I carefully started pushing her on the baby swings. As the park was quiet without any chaos, paparazzi came and started flashing pictures. Bliss began to growl. "I think it's time to go now." I get Suz out of the baby swings. She doesn't understand the whole thing why we're leaving cause she still a baby but I don't want any of them to take any photos of her.
"I'll get bliss on her leash." Ma told me as she was getting the leash on her.
"One day just one day I hope the paparazzi can leave us alone for a while." I put Suz on her stroller. I looked at her "sorry princess but you know how Dadda doesn't like paparazzi taking photos of us." I gave her a blanket to cover. Ma was ready to go with bliss. We left the park. Ignore the paparazzi. Suz was quiet throughout the ride back, she was tired.
We arrived home. I opened the door and I seen Dylan cooking lunch. "You guys have came back so soon." Suz yawn "she had fun did she?" She smiled
"Yeah. We left cause the paparazzi showed up." We walked in. I locked the door. Ma went to go help Dylan. "How are you doing? How are my grandchildren?" She felt the bump.
"I'm fine. The twins are doing fine. They've been a little active lately." I looked at Dylan. Ma sees me and Dylan "what?"
"You guys know the sex of the babies!" She got excited. "Let me guess their boys! No, girls!" We tired not to ruin the surprise. "Aw come on tell me! I promise I wont say anything about it! Gerald this we be great since you and James are almost twins but you're a year older than your brother! And you want boys! And this would be the best thing for you and Dylan! I knew it more kids! Haha your aunt owes me money!"
"Ma, we don't know what we're having yet. Not until Dylan's next appointment." And that hit me "you bet money with one of my aunts?"
"It's not important Gerald. But I'm so happy for you both." She looks at Dylan "I'll help you set up the table."
"Thank you mama." Dylan looked at me with relived. Almost a close one. "Is Suz falling asleep?" I check on her. Her eyes where closing
"Yeah I think this little angel is falling asleep." I got her out of the stroller. "I'll take her to her crib." She yawns. I walked up stairs to her room. I took off her shoes and laid her down. I turned off the light and left her room. Bliss walked in with her leash on. "Let me just take this off." I took off the leash. She went inside of Suz room. I walked downstairs and Dylan was shocked. "You okay?"
"Jess is in the hospital with Matt. She's having the baby."
"She is? Matt must be happy." She looked worried. Then looked at my ma. "What's going on?"
"Something happened to the baby. Matt didn't gave us much information. He said that he'll call but it's most likely that Jess is having c-section. That was the only thing he said."
"Who's at the hospital with him?"
"I don't know Gerald. I just hope both Jess and the baby are fine." Ma hugged her
"They'll be fine. Jess is a strong women. She'll get through this."
"We should go see Matt." As I was grabbing my jacket and the keys, James came in the house.
"Matt is in the hospital with Jess." I looked at him.
"We know, I was going to see him in the hospital right now."
"Actually he said just me. He doesn't wants you guys to worrying especially Dylan." I dropped the keys back in the bowl. "He said he'll call once he has more information."
"He told you the same did he?" Dylan asked "Matt couldn't even talk."
"I know he's worried. I'll go to the hospital and stay with him. Mia is trying to get out of work." He hugs me "I'll call you guys if anything and also hi ma." James left.
We stayed at home and nothing from Matt or from James. Now I worry about Dylan. What if she has something after she gives birth to the twins. We were just sitting in the couch. Ma was checking up on Suz before she leaves. "What are you thinking?"
"It's nothing." Dylan looks at me. "Baby it's nothing I swear it isn't."
"It's about Matt."
"Yeah and it's you."
"Me?" She got confused "why me?"
"What if there complications when you give birth to the boys? Or something happens to you?"
"Nothing will happen to me or the boys. You know what the doctor said, I'm fine, their fine that's the only thing we need to focus on. I know Matt and Jess are really close to us and it would be so heart breaking if anything happens to them and their baby." She hugs me "everything will turn out fine." She hugs me close to her. She pets my hair and I lay my hand where my boys are. I feel them kicking, and I had to smile "they been active lately. Sometimes it's hard to even sleep." Then ma came done stairs.
"Suz is still sleeping. The day at the park did drain her down."
"Ma you should of seen her when she's swimming in the pool." I laugh "she a great kid."
"Yea she is." She sits down on the couch "you're still worried?"
"Yeah a little bit."
"Gerald they'll be fine." She looks at Dylan "how have you been lately?"
"Tired. It's not like I'm carrying one but these twins drain my whole energy." She laughs "but I'm happy to have my kids."
"That's I was when I had Gerald and James. And when Suz was born."
"Good memories ma." Then I looked at my ma. "you really want to know what we're having?"
"Yes but I'll respect your decision. Gerald did you say you wanted boys?"
"Ma it was just a joke. Crossing my fingers we do get boys." Dylan's laughs. "What's wrong of being overprotective with Suz. You know how I don't want any boys taking advantage of my princess."
"Gerald they won't because you'll be there to protect her."
"What about you Dylan?" Ma asks her. "You guys are really happy."
"Yeah we are. I was thinking maybe girls." She looks at me "I know you want three boys and two girls but what if it's the opposite?"
"Then that's where i have to be more overprotective with them." Ma and Dylan laugh. "I'm serious about this."
"Have you guys thought of names yet?" Ma was getting excited "sorry if I'm asking to many questions."
"It's okay ma. I had one or two in mind. Hayden."
"That's not a bad name." Ma like it
"I thought you wanted to name them if they were boys after James?" Dylan asked me.
"Yes. James will be the middle name."
"So what the other name?" Ma asked me once again.
"Maybe Ashton or Reign."
"How did you come up with these names?" Dylan was surprised "I really like those names."
"It just came up one night and I've been stuck with it."
"And what if they are girls?" Ma was more than excited.
"Allison Sage but shorter Alice, and Alaïa Skye. Those are the names."
"Ger there cute. I didn't know you had those in mind." Dylan was happy "when were you going to tell me that?"
"The day when our kids are born." I smiled at her
"Those are perfect Gerald." We heard a honk form a car. "That's my ride." Ma gets up from the couch. I got up from the couch. Ma hugged Dylan and I walked her out of the house. "Gerald I'm so happy and proud of you becoming the best father and husband."
"Ma, I got that from you. You raised me well. And I can't wait for my kids to be born." I hugged ma and she went to her cab. I went inside. Dylan was getting comfortable on the couch. "You like the names I choose for the boys?"
"Yeah but I feel bad of not saying to ma that we are having boys."
"Me to. But it will be the best surprise we give her. You really did like them?"
"yeah I did baby." She got up and hugged me. And I hugged her back. She looked at me "Hayden James Gillum Trujillo and Ashton James Gillum Trujillo."
"I like Ashton then Reign for one of the boys. And maybe if we get another boy we can name him."
"Can we stick with one or two kids at a time then we can talk about baby no. 4" she laughs "at least a year break."
"Yes my queen." Then I carried her in a bridal way without Dylan "A queen should never walk especially my queen pregnant with two handsome princes." She laughs. We went up to the room. I lay her down in the bed. I take off my shirt and my jeans. I lay next to her. We just look at each other. "What do you think they'll look like?"
"For sure like you." I laugh "one of them will be more invested with like school and other other one in music."
"And they'll have the best music teacher." Dylan laugh "Suz was walking around earlier in the house. She went to the office, sat on your chair looking around then she went to the studio. I think she's going to do both of our jobs when she's older."
"Yeah you think so?"
"Yeah I do. What would it be like with five kids? With different personalities and interests? That would be awesome if all of them have dreams to pursue."
"They will." Then Dylan felt the boys kicking. "They really live to be active. They got that from you ger."
"Oh god. They sure did." We both laughed.
We both fell asleep but Dylan woke up since the twins were actively moving around. "Ger." She looked at me tired. I went down to the bump.
"Hey guys. It's me your daddy. I know you both have been a little active lately but you know mommy has to get some rest cause she's taking care of the family. I know you both are excited to be here with us. We are to." I lay my hand to the bump and I felt them moving less "I love you guys." I gave them a kiss. Then went up to Dylan and gave her a kiss. Then I heard my phone ring. It was Matt:
"What's up matt?"
"Gerald...umm Jess gave birth."
"She did?" I was happy and nervous. Dylan was listening to the conversation and she got worried. "Is she okay? Is the baby okay?"
"Yes both are fine. Gerald I don't know how to say this."
"Tell me Matt. What is it?!" We both got worried.
"It's a girl. The c-section was successful. Now Jess and the baby are resting."
"Okay bro. Congratulations."
"I have a name for her but I want to tell this to Jess first. We'll come by soon when we're out of the hospital."
"Alright take care." He hangs up the phone. Dylan was looking at me. "It's a girl. Jess and Matt have a girl. Now there just resting."
"Oh okay. At least their both doing well."
"Yeah they come and visit soon." I feel calm but my only worrying is Dylan. "Let's get some sleep." I looked at her "I'm here for anything okay."
"I know baby."
One thing I fear is losing my family.
