Secluded Heart
Zaira had everything going for her. She was excelling in her junior year at college at age 21, was involved in multiple extracurricular activities, and was madly in love with her boyfriend, Travis. Everything seemed to be perfect, that is, until she met him and he turned her world upside down.

About three weeks pass and I am missing my husband like crazy!! I miss Julian so much. I get really sad sometimes, but I try my best to keep it together. He calls me at least twice a day and we FaceTime at least once a day as well. He says the training is going really well and I am happy to hear that. He is really looking forward to his first official day at the job. I am so proud of him. JJ and Alexis are doing just fine. They miss Julian just as much as I do and sometimes they get sad, and I do my best to console them. A lot of nights we have all slept in the same bed just because they wanted to. I don’t mind one bit, those are my babies! My pregnancy is going just fine now as well. I am only about 10 weeks pregnant, but so far my first trimester has been great. I have not had any morning sickness, but I go get tired quite easily these days. I still can’t believe that a new life is growing inside of me. I have dreamed of this for so long and I am so happy that is finally a reality. Anyway, it’s Friday and I decided to do the commercial! I am pretty excited. It’s fun to me and I think I am actually pretty good at it. We are at the studio now in Richmond and I am getting my makeup and hair done. Since Julian isn’t here, they changed the script a bit so the storyline is similar to the first commercial, but instead of a date, I am just going out with friends. So it’s a group of two other women with natural hair and three males, Xavier being one of them. Xavier is really friendly towards me, but he has never made a move on me. I truly think he respects me and Julian’s marriage. Anyway, once I am all dressed in THIS I go to Karen, JJ and Alexis, since they all came to support me.
“Oh baby you look gorgeous!,” Karen said.
“Thank you so much Karen,” I said while smiling.
“Mommy you’re so pretty,” JJ said.
“Yes so beautiful!,” Alexis said.
“You are both too sweet,” I said. I grab both of their faces and I peck their lips and they both giggle afterwards. Just then Xavier comes up to me wearing THIS. He smiles at me and I smile back.
“Zaira you look beautiful,” Xavier complimented.
“Thank you Xavier, you look nice as well,” I said.
“Thank you....they’re ready for us on set.” I nod my head and I follow behind him to the set. We do a few shots inside but then we take it outside for a few sets. The commercial shoot went very well. Everyone tells me I am a natural, which I really appreciate. Once the commercial is over, I change back into my clothes, and the director tells me I can keep my outfit. The director then gives me my check, and then he gives me the products that were used for promotion in the commercial. He even gives JJ and Alexis kid sets. We are all so thankful. Once I am all ready to go, we all leave to head out. As we are leaving, Xavier comes up to me. Karen takes the kids to the car and I look at Xavier.
“Zaira you did a really nice job today,” Xavier said.
“Thank you, so did you,” I said.
“....Would you like to get something to eat? Your whole family can come as well.”
“Oh no that’s ok. We have to get to the bank before it closes.”
“You know you always turn down my offers. You’re not allowed to have friends Zaira?”
“Oh Xavier I’m not trying to be rude. I am allowed to have friends; I just don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea about us you know? I’m married and I don’t want to do anything to respect Julian.”
“I understand completely and I would never make an inappropriate move on you. I am very aware of my boundaries.....but friends can go out to lunch or dinner right? Is that allowed?”
“It is Xavier.....but not today ok?”
“Ok I get it Zaira. I’ll back off.....you have a good day.”
“Thanks you too.” I turn to the car and Karen drives me to the bank and I deposit the $7,000 check immediately into my account. Julian and I agreed to keep our accounts separate. We trust each other completely, but we think this is best, even though we are married. Once we leave the bank, we go to Chipotle’s to eat. After that, we head back to Karen’s house. We all walk in and take off our shoes, but we are startled when we hear a noise from upstairs. We all look at each other in fear.
“Mommy what was that?,” JJ asked.
“I’m not sure baby,” I said. We hear a door open upstairs and we all gasp when Julian walks downstairs while smiling big. What is he doing here?!? Damn he looks good!!
“Daddy!!,” JJ screamed in happiness.
“Juju!!,” Alexis said excitedly. JJ and Alexis both run to Julian and he falls on the steps with both of them in his arms. He kisses them both all over their face so many times.
“I missed my babies!,” Julian said to JJ and Alexis.
“Julian boy, you scared us,” Karen said.
“I’m sorry ma. I just wanted to surprise you all. My training got done early and I got on the first plane to come back home to my beautiful family.” For some reason, I just bust out crying. My husband is back and he looks so good!!
“Hey beautiful come here,” Julian said to me. JJ and Alexis sit next to Julian on the steps and I run to him and he grabs me and holds me tightly in his arms as I kneel in front of him and cry on his chest.
“Zaira baby don’t cry....I missed you,” Julian said softly.
“I missed you Julian,” I said through tears.
“Let me look at you.” I pull out of the embrace and Julian wipes my tears while smiling at me.
“You get more beautiful every day,” Julian complimented. Julian then grabs my face and kisses my lips multiple times. His lips feel so good!! Lord knows I want to jump his bones now! I have been so sexually frustrated lately.
“Let me say hi to my baby girl,” Julian said. I smile and I stand up and Julian lifts up my shirt and smiles big at my stomach.
“Hi baby girl! Hi! It’s daddy!! I missed you so much. You have probably gotten so big since I left huh?,” Julian said sweetly. He kisses my stomach multiple times and I laugh as I rub the top of his head. He puts down my shirt and stands up and then hugs me tightly again.
“We f***ing tonight?,” Julian whispered in my ear. I just giggle and I nod my head and he bites my ear gently and then he lets go of me and hugs his mom tightly.
“Daddy I’m so happy to see you. We all missed you,” JJ said.
“I missed all of you too so much. I was going crazy without my family so when I was told that the training was done early, I was too excited and I really got on the first plane that I could.”
“We’re happy you’re home baby,” Karen said.
“I’m happy to be home......Zaira baby you did the commercial today right?,” Julian asked.
“Yes I did baby it went really good. The director says it will air within the next few weeks.....this time it will be countrywide, not just in Virginia like the last one,” I said.
“Really?! Oh baby that’s great! My wife is going to be a star,” Julian said while smiling big.
“You’re so sweet baby....I put the check into my account today....baby we are doing really well with our savings. We can start seriously looking for a house really soon. Do you want to start looking soon?,” I said.
“I would love to baby. I think we all should do it together, even you ma. I think that would be best,” Julian said.
“Oh I can’t wait!! I’m so excited to live with you Juju and Zaira!,” Alexis exclaimed. We all just smile at her and we hug her tight. We all go into the living room and talk for a while. I sat right in Julian’s lap as he held me tight. I am so happy my husband is home!! I missed him beyond measure and I plan to show him that tonight ;) We all cook dinner together and once the kids are sleeping soundly, Julian and I go into our bedroom. He closes the door and then looks at me and I instantly strip for him and he just smiles at him.
“Baby you are so beautiful. I missed you so much. I was going crazy without your fine ass. I thought about you and the kids every day I was gone.....and our baby girl of course....I see you have a little stomach now,” Julian said while smiling.
“Yeah just a little one,” I said while rubbing my small protruding stomach. Julian just smiles at me and I strips completely naked and I just smile as I look him up and down.
“Damn you look good baby. You are so damn fine,” I said while biting my bottom lip.
“You’re horny huh?,” Julian asked.
“Yes baby! I have been so sexually frustrated since you have been gone....I was going crazy without your sexy, handsome ass.”
“Ooo I like this! Come here!” I literally run to Julian and I jump on him. He laughs as he holds my legs so his arms are under my legs. I kiss him deeply and he opens his mouth and I instantly slide my tongue in and play with his. He slowly walks us to the bed and lies me down and gets on top of me in between my legs. He rubs his d*** against my pussy and we both moan out in pleasure.
“Baby put it in please,” I begged. Julian instantly slides inside of me and we both moan loudly. He feels so good!! He starts out slow and he lifts up his head and looks me in my eyes and I look into his.
“Zaira I love you,” Julian said softly.
“I love you Julian.” He pecks my lips then rests his chest against mine so his head is on my shoulder. I am so happy my husband is home :)

Julian
So exactly two weeks pass and today, Sunday, I am going to Atlanta. My training for my job starts tomorrow morning at 8 am. I’m excited because I am very excited for my job, but I am not excited to leave my family. Gosh I am going to miss them so much. Especially with Zaira expecting, I feel terrible for leaving her and JJ and Alexis like this. It’s going to be difficult, but I know we will all be just fine. It’s 8 am in the morning and I am finishing my packing as Zaira lies down in the bed watching me. My plane leaves at 10:15, so we are all trying to be at the airport by 9 am. JJ and Alexis spent the night with Zaira and I so they could be here when I left. I just look at Zaira and she looks so sad. I hate it when my wife is sad :(
“Baby don’t be sad. You are going to make me sad,” I said.
“I’m sorry baby but I don’t want you to go. I want you in our bed every night and I want to wake up to your handsome face every morning. I am going to miss you so much Julian,” Zaira said as tears swelled up in her eyes.
“No baby don’t cry. Please don’t cry.” Zaira covers her face with her hands and I see her start crying. I sigh and I go over to her side of the bed and I lean down and I hug her and she grabs me and hugs me tightly as she cries on my chest.
“Calm down gorgeous. The month will fly by. I am going to call you every second I am free and we can FaceTime whenever you want to. Baby just know that I am doing this for our family,” I said in Zaira’s ear. Zaira slowly nods her head and I pull out of the embrace and I wipe Zaira’s face of her tears. She’s too beautiful to cry.
“I know Julian, I just don’t want to be without you....but I will do my best to stay strong for the kids....I am going to make sure they are getting ready,” Zaira said softly. I nod my head and I kiss her lips and then she gets out of the bed and leaves the bedroom. I sigh and I continue my packing. Gosh I HATE when my wife cries, it kills me. Zaira is going to stay with my mom and the kids so she won’t get lonely for the month I am gone. Damn I don’t want to leave them at all. Once I am all packed, I go into the kitchen and I see Zaira and the kids eating cereal and fruit. I smile and I go over to JJ and Alexis and I kiss the both of their foreheads.
“Baby are you hungry?,” Zaira asked.
“Yeah I’ll just fix a quick bowl of cereal,” I said. Zaira nods her head and I fix a bowl of cereal and I sit next to Zaira and she instantly sits in my lap. I smile to myself and I kiss her cheek and we eat our breakfast. Once we are all done eating, we all get our bags and head to the airport. Once we get there, I check in my bag, keep my carry-on bag and then we all sit down and wait for my flight number to be called to start boarding. Zaira sits next to me and the kids sit in my lap. I wrap my arms around all of them and we talk until 9:45, which is when my flight is called for boarding. I look at Zaira and the kids and I stand up with the kids in my arms and Zaira stands up next to me.
“JJ and Alexis I am going to miss you two so much. But I am going to call you every day and we can FaceTime as often as we can ok? Now I want you to both take care of Zaira ok? She’s pregnant and she may get tired at times, so just help her out whenever you can ok?,” I said.
“Ok Juju we will take good care of Aunty Zaira don’t worry,” Alexis said while smiling a bit.
“Yeah daddy we will take care of mommy. I will make sure she isn’t sad,” JJ said while smiling.
“Ya’ll are so sweet. I love you both so much,” I said.
“I love you too,” JJ and Alexis said in unison. I hug JJ and Alexis tightly. These are my babies I am going to miss them like crazy. I kiss the both of their cheeks multiple times as well. I then set them down and I look at Zaira. She is looking down; I know she is fighting tears.
“Baby come here,” I said while opening my arms. Zaira just looks at me and walks into my arms and I hold her tightly.
“Baby I’m going to miss you so much. Have a safe flight. Please call me as soon as you get there,” Zaira said through tears.
“I will baby. I love you so much Zaira,” I said.
“I love you too Julian.” I pull out of the embrace and I look at Zaira and I wipe her face of her tears. I then look down at her stomach and I smile. I squat down a bit and I lift up her shirt and I kiss her all over her stomach as she rubs the top of my head.
“Hi baby girl its daddy. I just want you to know that daddy has to go away for a month. But I will be thinking about you and mommy and JJ and Alexis every second I am gone. You be good for mommy ok? I love you so much baby girl,” I said to Zaira’s stomach. I kiss her stomach again and then I put it down and look at her and she looks at me.
“Baby girl huh?,” Zaira said while laughing a bit.
“Zaira I know it’s a girl. I am positive it’s a girl. Trust me,” I said while smiling. Zaira just laughs and she hugs me again and I kiss her cheek while we hug.
“Alright baby I have to go ok?,” I said while rubbing her back. Zaira nods her head and she pulls out of the embrace and grabs my face and kisses me deeply. After a few passionate kisses, Zaira backs away from me and smiles.
“I love you beautiful,” I said.
“I love you more Julian,” Zaira said. I pick up my bag and I hug the kids and Zaira one last time and then I head to the gate. I go through security and then I look back at my family and I wave and blow kisses and they do the same. Damn I am going to miss them! Once I am in the terminal to the plane I sigh heavily. I already just want to turn around and go back to my family. I still feel terrible for leaving so abruptly, but this is what I have to do and I hope that my family understands that as well. This is going to be a long month.
Zaira
Once Julian disappeared in the terminal, I just sighed heavily. It hurts so bad to see him leave when I just want him here with me. I just keep telling myself that it’s only a month and the time will fly by. It’s hard to even convince myself of this though. I look down at the kids as they hold my waist. I smile and I put my hands on their backs and they look up at me.
“Are you two ok?,” I asked.
“I miss daddy already,” JJ said.
“Yeah I miss Juju too....I hope the month goes fast,” Alexis said.
“I know....it may get hard but we have each other right? We will get through it,” I said while smiling. JJ and Alexis smile and nod their heads and I lean down and I kiss both of their cheeks.
“How about we go to the mall? Julian and I owe our babies some new clothes how does that sound?,” I asked.
“Yay!!,” JJ and Alexis said in happiness. I just smile and I grab both of their hands and we leave the airport and I take them to the mall. We stay there for a bit and we do a bit of shopping and we eat lunch there. Once we are done at the mall, I take the kids to Karen’s. Karen helps me get my suitcase and the bags from the mall and then we all sit on the couch together.
“Zaira baby you doing ok?,” Karen asked.
“Karen I miss Julian so much already and it’s only been a few hours.....I know usually I am strong, but your son....is my weakness. I am so weak when it comes to him. He is my heart, my everything, and I just want him here with me at all times,” I said as tears swelled up in my eyes.
“Mommy don’t cry,” JJ said while rubbing my arm.
“Yeah you’re too pretty to cry Aunty Zaira,” Alexis said while rubbing my cheek.
“Oh you are both so sweet,” I said while smiling quickly. I wipe my eyes and I kiss the both of their cheeks.
“I know it’s going to be hard baby, but like you said you are strong. You are incredibly strong and you and Julian are going to be fine. I know it will get hard at times but we are all here for you. Don’t forget that,” Karen said.
“Thank you so much Karen,” I said.
“How is my grandbaby doing?,” Karen said while rubbing my stomach.
“Just fine....Julian is convinced that we are having a baby girl. At the airport he kept calling the baby, baby girl. I don’t know how he is so sure,” I said while laughing a bit.
“That’s my son....he actually may be right. When Krystal was pregnant, he was positive it was a boy and nine months later JJ was born,” Karen said.
“Wow.....that’s crazy,” I said.
“He said that it came to him in a dream....maybe the same happened with this little one,” Karen said while smiling. I just smile and I gently rub my stomach as well. Maybe Julian is right. I would be happy with anything God blesses us with :) JJ yawns big and I look at him and smile.
“Baby boy are you tired? I know you and Alexis got up early today,” I said.
“Yeah mommy can I please take a nap?,” JJ asked.
“Of course baby boy. Let me tuck you in. What about you Alexis you ready for a nap too?,” I asked. Alexis just nods her head and I smile and I stand up from the couch and I take their hands and I walk them upstairs. I tuck JJ in and then Alexis in their rooms. I then go into Julian’s bedroom and I just look around and smile. It reminds me so much of him and I need that so I will be sleeping in this room while Julian is gone. I lie down in the bed and I look at my phone at a few emails. I notice one is from Xavier and I open it. I read the email and I see that’s another opportunity for a commercial. I read through the details and it’s in a few weeks, when Julian won’t be here. The director also wants Julian to be part of the commercial. I just smile to myself at this. It would be great if Julian was here. I send an email to Xavier saying thanks for the offer, but I will have to decline. I won’t do it without my baby Julian. I then notice I have a missed called from Julian. I quickly call him back and he answers after the first ring.
“Baby I miss you,” Julian said quickly.
“I miss you too baby. I miss you so much and it’s only been a few hours,” I said.
“I know it’s going to be hard but we are strong ok? Remember that. We will be reunited in no time.”
“I know baby you’re right. Did you make it to Atlanta safely?”
“Yes baby I did. I will be staying in a really nice suite for the month. I like it, but it would be better if you and the kids were with me.”
“I’m glad you made it safely baby and I am happy you are comfortable.”
“Thanks baby. What are you doing? How are the kids?”
“They are ok. We are at your mom’s house and they are both taking a nap. We went to the mall earlier and did a little shopping and got something to eat. I am just lying down. I got an offer to do another commercial baby.”
“Really baby? That’s great! When is it?”
“Well it’s in a few weeks, when you won’t be here. They wanted you in the commercial too, but since you aren’t here, I declined the offer.”
“Baby you didn’t have to do that. I know how much you liked doing the first commercial.”
“I know but I can’t do it without you.”
“Yes you can baby. I wouldn’t mind at all.....if you were to do it with another man, I wouldn’t be mad because I know it’s acting and I know you would never cheat on me. Just no kissing! I mean that baby. Your lips are mine.....along with every inch of your body, especially your pussy.”
“So nasty! Baby I don’t know if I would feel comfortable doing the commercial with another man.”
“Zaira just find out more about the storyline and what you would have to do ok? Don’t just decline because I’m not there. If you are interested, then you do it.”
“Thank you so much baby for being so supportive....I guess I can reconsider. The job would pay $7,000 so that would be nice to have for our future plans.”
“Exactly baby. Just think about it ok? I will support you in anything just how you support me.”
“Julian I love you so much.”
“I love you more baby.....how’s my baby girl doing? She alright?” I just laugh and Julian laughs too.
“I know you think I’m crazy Zaira.....but I know we are having a girl. A beautiful little girl that is going to look just like the both of us,” Julian said sweetly.
“It is a bit crazy....but your mom told me you knew JJ was a boy....she said you had a dream?,” I said.
“Yes I did....as soon as Krystal told me she was pregnant, I had a dream about this little boy and the same thing happened after you told me you were pregnant.....but this time I had a dream about a little girl.”
“I think that’s really sweet baby and you may very well be right.....and she is doing very good,” I said while rubbing my stomach.
“I wish I was there to rub your stomach and talk to her.....baby when is your first ultrasound?”
“Well I scheduled it for a few days after you come back. I want you to be there. I will be about 11 weeks pregnant by then.”
“I can’t wait baby.” I then yawn loudly into the phone.
“Baby I know how tired you get now that you’re pregnant. Get comfortable in the bed and I will sing you and our baby girl to sleep.” I just smile and I get under the covers and turn on my side.
“Ok baby I’m ready,” I said. Julian starts to softly sing and I just smile. He’s so amazing. This month will be hard without him, but I know the time will fly by.
Man I seriously hope that nobody thinks that its the 'Window of Opportunity' for them to mess with Zaira in the month while Chris is gone and same for him. Xavier still hangs omniously in the air, IF however he makes a wrong move on Zaira.
Run iT! <3

Zaira
I wake up the next morning at around 9 am. I am wrapped in Julian’s arms tightly as we face each other. I look up at him sleeping peacefully and I smile to myself. My husband is so handsome. Wow that feels amazing to say :D I get my arms free from his grip and I run my hands up and down his arms as I admire him. This man is so damn fine, it should be illegal. No one could ever compare to him. I run my hands down his abs and I feel he has boxers on and the only thing I have on is panties. After Julian held me for a few hours, we did make love. He was so worried about having sex since I was pregnant but being a biology graduate, I explained to him that it was just fine ;) I never knew we could become more intimate with one another but we truly did last night. Julian was so gentle last night and he looked me in my eyes the entire time we made love. He also sang to my stomach for a good portion of the night. He is so sweet. He told me he doesn’t want me to do anything too strenuous. Gosh I love him so much. He is always looking out for me. He’s so beautiful inside and out and he’s mine forever! I love it! I lean in and I kiss his lips gently and I get out of his arms, but he quickly pulls me back close to him. I just look at him and he opens his left eye at me.
“Where do you think you’re going?,” Julian asked.
“I was going to fix my handsome husband breakfast,” I said while smiling big.
“Oh really? I don’t think so. My wife will not be lifting a finger while she is pregnant and when I am around.....what do you want to eat?,” Julian asked me while opening both eyes.
“Mmm.....you look pretty appetizing,” I said while looking Julian up and down and running my hand up and down his abs.
“Freak you can’t eat me,” Julian teased.
“But you can eat me?”
“That’s right,” Julian said while smacking my ass. I just giggle and I roll on top of Julian and I straddle him and he holds my waist. He looks my torso up and down and then he squeezes both of my breasts and I just laugh at him.
“My wife is so beautiful,” Julian said.
“Thank you baby.....how about we cook breakfast together?”
“Ok baby we can compromise and do that.....but first give your husband his morning kiss.” Julian closes his eyes and puckers his lips. I smile and I lean down and I rest my hands on Julian’s face and I kiss him passionately. He holds me close and runs his hands up and down my back. After a passionate kiss, he smiles at me and I smile at him. I sit up and Julian sits up so I am in his lap. He pushes me back a little bit and leans down and kisses my stomach and I just laugh.
“Hi baby! You doing ok in there? Huh? Mommy and daddy can’t wait to see you. You have a brother too! His name is JJ. And a beautiful cousin her name is Alexis. And a beautiful grandmother too. You are going to have so many people that will love you and spoil you. I will spoil you to death,” Julian said in his baby voice.
“You’re so sweet baby,” I said.
“How do you feel?”
“I feel great baby.”
“You know I knew yesterday you had this glow but I could not put my finger on it. I can’t believe I didn’t guess you were pregnant. Deep inside I wanted it, but I wasn’t sure how fast you would get pregnant you know? You did a really good job hiding it from me. You really wanted it to be a surprise huh?”
“Yes I did. I wanted it to be our present for our honeymoon....do you want to tell everyone the good news today?”
“I would love to what do you think?”
“I want to. I know everyone is going to be so happy for us.”
“You’re right.....ok you need to get out of my lap babe before I put another child inside of you,” Julian said while smirking. I just hit Julian’s chest as I laugh and I peck his lips and then I get off of him and I stand up from the bed and he stands up as well. He kisses the back of my neck and I smile. I put on one of his t-shirts and he puts on a beater. We both brush our teeth and then we go into the kitchen and we make breakfast. Julian was so worried about me and watched me very closely. He’s so sweet and he always just wants to protect me. We made eggs, grits, hash browns, bacon and orange juice to drink. We say our blessing and we enjoy our breakfast. I sat in Julian’s lap for breakfast since he said he just wanted me close to him. Did I mention I love this man?! He is a pure sweetheart. After breakfast, we cleaned up the kitchen area and then we take a shower together, no sex. Once we are done showering, Julian helps me lotion and then we both get dressed. I washed my hair in the shower so my curls would come back, so no more straight hair. I dry it, and then style it as Julian gets ready. Once we are all ready, we pack up everything and then we leave the villa and head to Karen’s house. I can’t wait to tell everyone our good news. Once we get there, we get out of the car and walk in hand in hand. Julian closes the door behind us and we go into the living room and we see Karen, JJ and Alexis. When they see us, they all smile.
“Hey newlyweds!,” Karen exclaimed.
“Hey ma,” Julian said.
“Hi Karen,” I said. JJ and Alexis run to us and we hug them both.
“Everyone....we have some news to tell you,” Julian said. JJ, Alexis and Karen nod their heads and sit on the couch and Zaira and I stand in front of them.
“Well I am honored to say that......Zaira and I are expecting our first child together,” I said happily. Everyone just gasps in shock and JJ and Alexis hop off the couch and clap their hands.
“Mommy you’re going to have a baby?!,” JJ exclaimed.
“That’s right baby boy. I am going to have your little brother or sister,” I said happily.
“Oh yay!! I am going to have another cute cousin!,” Alexis exclaimed. They both hug me tight and I hug them back. Karen is already crying and she comes over to me and hugs me tight.
“I am so happy for you two. You both deserve it. I’m going to have a third grandchild I can’t wait,” Karen said.
“Thank you Karen. I love you,” I said.
“I love you too baby,” Karen said. Julian hugs us both and then we all sit on the couch and JJ sits in my lap and him and Alexis rub my stomach and talk cutely. My family is so sweet.
“Julian baby how is the house searching going? Any new leads?,” Karen asked.
“It’s hard ma.....Zaira and I want something we can afford but also something with enough space. With the new baby coming, we want at least four bedrooms for all of us, but a decent four bedroom house is out of our price range right now. We need to save up some more money before we can comfortably put a down payment on a new house,” Julian said.
“I understand baby. I know it’s hard, but you all are more than welcome to stay here until you find just what you are looking for,” Karen said.
“Thanks ma,” Julian said. I notice Alexis stop rubbing my stomach and I look down at her and she is frowning a bit. She rests her head against my shoulder and I look down at her and I rub the side of her face.
“What’s wrong pretty girl?,” I asked.
“Juju, Zaira......it’s ok if you just want to live with JJ and your new baby......I know I’m not really your child, so I would live with grandma. I don’t want to hold you two back,” Alexis said sadly. Julian and I just look at each other in shock.
“Alexis no, you will come too,” JJ said.
“Alexis, you are my baby girl. I know you aren’t technically my child but I feel like you are. I love you just how I love JJ, and me and Julian’s new baby. Julian and I would never go anywhere without you. You are part of this family,” I said strongly.
“Yeah Alexis. You are my baby girl too. You know how much I love you. You are just like my child in my mind. I promised you I would take care of you right? Zaira and I promised you we would and we will not break that promise. We would never just abandon you just because you technically aren’t our child. You are in this family, don’t ever forget that,”’ Julian said.
“You’re right I’m sorry,” Alexis said. Alexis climbs into Julian’s lap and he hugs her tight. She then climbs in my lap next to JJ and hugs me tight and I kiss her forehead multiple times. JJ then hugs her tightly.
“Alexis I know you are my cousin, but you are more like my sister. I love you,” JJ said.
“I love you too cutie pie!,” Alexis said. She kisses JJ’s cheek and they hug again. My babies are so cute!! I know they will love our new addition just as much as they love each other.
“Oh my you are all such a beautiful family.....Julian and Zaira I am here if you need anything.....and I have been thinking about something,” Karen said.
“What’s that ma?,” Julian said.
“Well....I love this house you know that Julian.....but.....I think....maybe I would pass it onto you and Zaira,” Karen said.
“Karen no. We cannot ask you to do that,” I said.
“Ma you worked so hard for this house. You worked so hard to support me and Justin on your own so you deserve this. Zaira and I could not take this house from you,” Julian said.
“Listen baby. It’s just me now, I don’t need this house. I would be fine in an apartment somewhere close to you all so I could come visit.....just think about it ok? If no other options become available by January then consider it ok?,” Karen said.
“Karen thank you so much,” I said.
“Yeah ma this offer is so nice of you,” Julian said.
“I love you two so much,” Karen said.
“I love you too,” Julian and I said in unison. Julian and I sit with Karen and the kids for most of the afternoon. We enjoy lunch together and we leave at 4 pm. We get to our apartment close to 5 pm, and Angela, CJ and Cameron are coming over for dinner at 6 pm. We are going to tell them our good news! Once we are at the apartment, Julian and I go into our bedroom and we sit on the bed. Julian takes out his laptop and looks through his email. As he is doing so, he makes a sigh of frustration. I scoot close to him and I rest my head on his shoulder and I wrap my arms around his waist.
“What’s wrong baby?,” I asked.
“Zaira.....I have to do a month long training for my job in about two weeks,” Julian said sadly.
“Oh that’s not so bad baby? So you’ll be gone like 9 to 5 every day or something?”
“Baby......the training is in Atlanta,” Julian said while looking me in my eyes. I just look at him and I frown. A month without my husband? I don’t want to do that.
“Really babe? Atlanta?,” I asked sadly.
“Yeah baby,” Julian said.
“Oh Julian I am going to miss you so much....ever since we met basically, we have always been together. We haven’t been without each other for a long period of time like a month.”
“I know baby you’re so right. We just got married and found out that you are expecting, I don’t want to leave you like this. I feel awful.”
“Baby don’t feel awful. You are doing this for your family and I love you for that.”
“You’re right....and for the training the company will give me a $5,000 bonus so that will be very helpful for our future.”
“Really baby? Well that’s great! Oh I’m so proud of you Julian.....and I know we don’t want to be apart, but I will be alright with the kids for a month.”
“I don’t want to leave my wife or my kids......I wanted to be around every day of the growth of our baby,” Julian said while rubbing my stomach.
“Oh I know baby.....listen I won’t go to my first ultrasound without you. We can schedule it before you leave because I don’t want you to miss anything either.”
“Thanks baby. Thank you for being so understanding Zaira. It’s one of the many things I love about you.”
“Baby we are in this together.....it may be hard and I may get sad, but I can do this.....I’m going to miss you so much though Julian.”
“Baby I am going to miss you more.....you and my family are my everything, I don’t like being away from any of you.”
“You’re so sweet.....we’ll get through this don’t even worry.” Julian smiles and puckers his lips and I peck them multiple times. He then hugs me tight. Damn I am going to miss Julian so much, but I am strong and I will have to stay strong for the kids. This will be our first “test” since our marriage, and I am confident that Julian and I will pass :) At 6 pm, the doorbell to our apartment rings. Angela and Cameron are bringing takeout for all of us to eat. Julian and I go to the door and Julian opens it and Angela and Cameron smile at us.
“Hi newlyweds! Zaira kiss,” Angela said. I just laugh and I peck her lips and then I hug her tight. Cameron then hugs me while carrying CJ’s car seat and then they both walk in and Julian closes the door behind them. We all walk into the kitchen and Angela sets down the food.
“Ok let me see my handsome munchkin,” I said. Cameron and Angela laugh and Cameron takes CJ out of his car seat and I smile big at him. My gosh he is so handsome! And he has the cutest outfit of jeans, a t-shirt and Jordans. He looks soooo cute!!
“Hi honey! It’s your god mother. Let me hold you!,” I said in my baby voice. Angela and Cameron kiss CJ’s cheek and then Cameron hands CJ to me and I kiss him all over his face.
“Hi handsome! Hi. You look so cute today,” I said in my baby voice. CJ just looks at me and smiles and I smile back.
“You’re always so happy CJ. I love you,” I said. I kiss his forehead and then I hand CJ to Julian and Julian kisses CJ all over his face and CJ kicks his feet in happiness.
“You are happy huh lil’ man?,” Julian said cutely. I just admire Julian. This man is going to be the best father to our newborn. Julian rocks CJ gently and CJ squeals out in happiness and we all laugh at him.
“You are both so good with him. I can’t wait until you have your baby,” Angela said. Julian and I just look at each other and smile big and Cameron and Angela both caught onto that.
“Zaira!! Baby! What was that look? Oh my god......are you pregnant?!?,” Angela shrieked in excitement.
“Yes Angela! I’m pregnant! About five weeks,” I said happily while smiling big. Angela just screams in excitement and hugs me tight.
“Oh baby I am so happy for you! You and Julian deserve this happiness,” Angela said.
“Thanks boo,” I said. She pulls out of the hug and kisses my cheek then lifts up my shirt and kisses me all over my stomach and I just laugh.
“Hi baby! This is your god mother Angela....I can’t wait to see you!,” Angela said to my stomach.
“Man I am so happy for you. Congratulations,” Cameron said to Julian.
“Thanks man I am overly excited. I have wanted this for so long and I can admit I got impatient at times, but it was definitely worth the wait,” Julian said while looking at me. I just smile and I peck his lips multiple times.
“Oh you two are such a beautiful couple. You both deserve everything good in this world,” Angela said.
“Thanks,” Julian and I said in unison. We all hug each other and then we sit down and eat and just have a good time together. I played with CJ for most of the evening. He stayed awake for me :) I swear I love him like he was my own. He is just so beautiful to me. I can’t wait until I have me and Julian’s child. I hope these nine months fly by. Last night, Julian was already talking about names! We don’t even know what we are having yet but Julian is insistent in that we are having a girl. He says he is 100% positive it’s a girl. I think he’s crazy, like how does he know? He says it’s just a feeling he has. I would be happy with a girl, a boy, twins, quadruplets, anything! I just know that whatever happens, Julian and I will be so happy. At 9 pm, Cameron, Angela and CJ head home. Julian and I clean up a bit, and then we go into our bedroom and I sit on the bed and Julian sits next to me.
“Baby have you had any morning sickness or anything? Do you feel ok?,” Julian asked. I just smile at Julian; he’s so sweet!!
“Actually I haven’t had any morning sickness and I am thankful for that. My mom never had any morning sickness either....I think I got it from her,” I said while looking down. Julian gets behind me so I am in between his legs and he holds me tight.
“I know you miss your parents baby. I know that you would have wanted them at our wedding. I know you wanted your dad to be able to walk you down the aisle. Every bride deserves that. I know you want them here to meet our child. I know it hurts Zaira. I see the pain in your eyes when you talk about your parents. I know you were so close with them. I know how much you loved them and you know that they loved you. And just because they are gone, doesn’t mean they aren’t still here. They are in your heart and they are in you. You are a part of them and they are a part of you. Our child will be a part of them too baby. They will always live remember that,” Julian said sweetly.
“You’re so sweet baby you always know what to say to make me feel better. I love you so much,” I said while smiling.
“I love you more beautiful.” I never use to believe in happy endings or fairytales, but Julian proves me wrong every day :)
That was so beautiful man. From the graduation to the wedding. That song Julian sung to Zaira "Another You" was so beautuful. There vows they wrote for one another, the ministers prayers and scrpitures. The venue setup and the tux and dresses just so pretty.
