"Iddy, you bought me way too much, baby!"

"You're making two of my children, Jessie. You deserve it!"

Jessica pouts. "I love you."

"I love you so much more, Princess!"

"Yeah?" Jessica smiles. "How much more?"

"I'll show you.."

"Enough!" Bradley makes a face.

Jessica laughs. "We're in love, leave us alone!"

"Well so am I but you don't see me grossing you out!"

"I'm sorry!"

**

Later that evening the family came over to celebrate.

"Honey, what time is Abri coming?"

"I'm not sure. She just said she'd be late."

"Oh. Okay. You need help with the baby?"

"No mom, he's cool. Thanks though!"

"No problem."
Jessica walks over to find Idris and he immediately grabs her and presses his body against hers.

Their lips crash together and they share an intense kiss.

"I wish my father in law would just get his tongue out of my mother's mouth!" Bradley says.

Jessica pulls away and sighs. "Will you go find someone to talk to?"

"Yeah, let us kiss! You're in our home anyway." Idris says standing behind Jessica and wrapping his arms around her and placing them on her belly.

"That's very true, darling." Jessica smiles and lays her head back on him.

**

Jessica sat back on the couch resting while Idris made his rounds speaking to their guests.

"Jessie, you are HUGE!"

"Thank you, Daddy." She responded. Her belly sticking straight up.

"When are you gonna have them?"

"Well I don't know, I thought I'd just keep them in forever, Dad!"

Albert chuckles and pats her stomach. "What are you gonna do if they're Hank's?"

Jessica immediately started crying.
"You know dad, I really-"

"I'm so sorry, I was just making conversation! I didn't mean to upset you, I swear!"

"They're Idris' no matter what! Skin color or blood doesn't make a family. It's the love, and that man has plenty!"

"That's great! You look so pretty." He smiles.

"Stop trying to get on my good side, I'm mad at you, daddy!" Jessica purses her lips.

"Oh Al, what did you do?  Did you comment on her weight again?" Dorothy asks.

"Even worse!  I don't want to say it!" Jessica tries standing.

"No Jess, don't get up!  I'm sorry, honey."

"I have to pee!" Jessica gives him a look.

"Here, let me help you."

"Thanks.." Still Jessica does not crack a smile.

After using the restroom Jessica sits right back in her chair.

"Jessie!" Idris calls her.

"I just sat dowwwn!" Jessica whines.

"Oh sorry, love!  I didn't see you!  You stay put, my little Mummy."

Jessica smiles as Idris walks over to keep her company.

"You two are so sweet!" Jane smiles.

"Thanks!" Idris responds with a smile.

"Yeah.. I don't hate him yet." Jessica says looking lovingly into Idris' eyes.

"You still like me?" He smiles, bringing his hand up and softly caressing her bump.

"I still like you!" She crinkles her nose.  Her hands resting comfortably on top of her ginormous belly.

"I'm so glad because I like you too!" He kisses her lips.

"Man I can't wait to be nakey with you later."

"My baby sister." Jane smiles softly and claps her hands.

"Jane.. Get Away!"

Idris laughs and shakes his head.
"You're Mrs. Grumpy pants with everyone!" He baby talks.

"Not with you." She smirks.

"And why is that?"

"Cause I like you, silly! Don't you remember?"

"Oh yes, of course!" Idris chuckles and kisses her lips. "I'm so lucky you do, Darling."

"Yep!" Jessica says making Idris laugh.

Idris then kisses her stomach making Jessica's heart melt.

"You love them so much, don't you?"

"Absolutely!  These are my little pals." He smiles.

"Aw you're so cute, Iddy!"

"Thanks!" Idris says with a chuckle.

**

An hour later Abri arrived.

"Idris, did you see Abri?"

"No, I didn't even know she was here."

"She's here and she's drunk!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Kick her out!"

Idris chuckles. "I'm not gonna kick her out, darling."

"Iddyyy!" Jessica whines and bounces.

"Baby, kicking her out is only going to start something."

"I hate her, Idris. I hate her!" She fusses.

Idris looked at Jessica and could tell she was exhausted, more than likely in pain, and frustrated with Abri. He wrapped his arms around her and she laid on his chest.

"Honey.. do you need a nap?"

"Maybe.."

"Okay, let's go nap."

"But it's Christmas.." Jessica says in a low voice.

"Pregnant Mummy's are allowed a Christmas nap, love."

".... Kay."

"Okay." Idris smiles and pats her back.

"Let's go rest, Mummy."

"Will you rub my bottom?"

"I would be honored."

Jessica giggles and walks towards the elevator.

"Where are you going?" Ziah asks.

"To take my Christmas nap." She smiles sweetly.

"No, they're gonna have sex." Ann says.

"Ann!" Jessica shouts.

"You know Momma Jay." Ziah sighs.
"You've already scarred us all last night, just have at it!"

Jessica laughs and nods.
"Thanks, Zi."

"Anytime Mum." He smiles.
Jessica smiles and hugs him tightly. "Is he not the best son in law ever?"

"You really got lucky, didn't you?"

Jessica laughs. "Definitely!"

Ziah rubs her belly then places a kiss on his brother and sister. "Are you two having your own little Christmas party in there?"

"A party or a wrestling match! Something's going on in there!" Jessica laughs.

"I see that!  Anyway, you go rest."

"Yes, let's go, darling." Idris takes her hand.

**

"Gosh you're the best for having them add in an elevator when we found out I was pregnant." Jessica says as it takes them up. "You're fucking rich, man!"

Idris laughs softly.
"Well first, what's mine is yours, my darling." He clasps his hands with hers as he gently presses himself against Jessica's belly.

"Aw my boo bear." Jessica smiles.

Idris kisses her nose and continues, "I knew it'd be way to much for you to get around this house carrying twins."

"How did I end up with the most incredible and caring man ever?"

"Sometimes you just get lucky."

Jessica laughs.
Idris' lips touch Jessica's and they fall into a deep and passionate kiss.

"Mmm.. maybe Ziah was right.  Sex sounds way better than napping right now."

"Mmm, you are correct , Ms. Lange." Idris says, the elevator opening, he then guides her to their bedroom.

Jessica takes her dress off and lays in bed only in her underwear.

Idris smiles and rubs her bare belly.  His feet still on the ground, his upper body resting carefully between her legs.

"How beautiful you are, madam." He rubs and kisses her belly.  The twins moving like crazy.

"Thanks!" Jessica giggles.

Idris chuckles and once again kisses her stomach.
"I love every inch of you, Jessica Lange."

"That's a whoooollleee lot to love!" Jessica says making her lover laugh.
"But I do love you more, Idris Elba." She smiles.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"It's going to be quite a journey, mister." Jessica pokes his nose.

"Mhm.." Idris slowly lifts his upper body, then in a quick motion he grabs her thighs and pulls her towards him. "You better hang on tight, Blondie!"

"Ahh!" Jessica covers her mouth then laughs hysterically. "Iddy, you scared me!"

"I'm sorry!  Please don't wee on me!"

"I'll think about it." She says with a cheeky little look on her face.

"You better not!"

"Oh yeah?  What are you gonna do about it, my little chocolate bar?"

"I'm gonna give those little.. eh.. big fat vanilla cakes a pow pow."

Jessica couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't tempt me, mister."

***

December 28th.

"Iddy!" Jessica stands beside him and whines.

"Yes, my queen?"

"These babies are never coming out!" She cries.

"Baby girl, they'll be out soon!  I just know they will!"

"Well what's taking them so long!" She shouts.

"I told you they just find Mummy the most comfortable little thing ever, and they just want to enjoy it a bit longer.

"But I don't want them in there!  I want them to leave NOW!"

"I know, my darling.  Hey I know!  We can go for a nice walk?  Maybe we can go to the shops and walk around.  Get those babies ready to come on out and join in on the fun!"

"Okay.." Jessica wipes her tears. "We can do that.  I can do it!  That actually sounds nice" Jessica smiles softly.

"Yeah!  Let's go now, darling."

**

While walking around trying to induce labor, Jessica did have a few pains, but nothing strong enough to head to the hospital.

"Still not coming ouuuut!" Jessica whines as she holds her belly and bounces up and down.

Idris looks to her with a pout.
"I'm so sorry.  I wish I could get them out for you myself."

Jessica pouts and rubs her belly.
"Me too.."

Just then a woman walks over to them.
"Excuse me, sir.  Do you need something?"

Idris turns and smiles to the woman.
"No we just-"

"You've been walking around here for a very long time.  Ma'am, is he bothering you?"

Jessica makes a face. "Bothering me?"

"Ma'am, I appreciate you trying to protect her but—"
Idris stops mid sentence when he sees security walking towards him.

Jessica grabs Idris' arm.

"This is him." The woman says to the security guard.

"Wait a second, what are you doing!" Jessica jumps in front of Idris.

"Jessie, it's okay." Idris places his hands on her shoulders.

"No!  What are you doing?  This is my husband!" Jessica shouts.

"Oh!  Well I saw him walking around and—"

"And what!" Jessica was fuming.
"You thought we were stealing?
  Or just him?  Why?  What would make you call this wimpy ass security guard over here and ask my husband to leave?"

"Ma'am, I'm so sorry!"

"Stop!  Don't apologize to me!  You weren't throwing me out.  You weren't passing judgment on me.  You were passing judgment on him.  And why is that?"

There was a pause.  The woman just stared at her with wide eyes.

"Because he's black?"

Idris rubs Jessica's back and tries stopping her. "It's okay, babe.  Let's just leave."

"NO!  No, I will not let her get away with this!  How dare you be so disgusting!  You see a person like him and immediately pass judgment!  Well fuck you, bitch!  You wanna kick someone out?  Kick me out!  I'll give you a reason to kick me out!"

The woman staring blankly.

"Oh what's wrong?  You can't do that because I'm white?"

"Jessie, don't get too excited.  The babies." Idris reminds her.

"The babies are fine."
Jessica stares deep into the woman's eyes. "Black or white.  Black, white, brown, it should not matter!  We won't be coming back to this store anymore, and you better believe that I will spread the word that it is run by a racist!  There's nothing I hate more." The look Jessica had in her eyes sent a chill down the woman's spine.

"Come one, Idris.  This stuff is just a bunch of cheap shit anyway." Jessica takes his hand and walks out.

"Wow." Idris was shocked.

"I stand up for the ones I love.  I hate this!  I hate this world!" Jessica finally cracks once they are outside.

"My babies are going have to deal with assholes like this, and I will hurt whoever hurts them!"

Idris stops and brings Jessica into his arms.
"It sucks.  It really does, Jess.  But they're lucky to have you as their Mum.  Someone who will stand up for them.  And of course I'll be right beside you.  Together we'll make a great team.  No one will ever hurt them."

Jessica sobbed into Idris' chest.

"I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry you have to go through this, Iddy."

"Don't be sorry.
  Hey." Idris rubs Jessica's back and smiles down to her.

"What?" Jessica sniffles and looks up to him.

"You called me your husband again.  Is this your way of proposing?"

Jessica laughs softly and nods her head.
"Shut up, Idris."

"Let's get married." He smiles.

"What?"

"Let's get married!  Today!  Right now!"

"Iddy.. You already know we can't."

"But I love you so much!  I want to call you my wife!"

"Well you can call me your wife, but we cannot get married honey, and you know that."

Idris sighs and hugs her, bringing her to his chest.

".... Iddy?"

"Yes?"

"I love you and I love your hugs, but you're pressing the babies into my bladder, and I'm about to wee myself."

"I'm sorry!" He laughs and releases her.

"It's okay!" Jessica quickly walks into the trees.

"Jessica!  What are you doing?"

"I can't hold it!  I'm gonna go out here!"

Idris shakes his head and chuckles.  He then speaks quietly to himself. "Oh Jessie.. I love your crazy ass."
