A Mother's Love Rekindled

Jeanette was a little depressed, and I just had to talk to her and make feel better. It was like back when she was dating those guys and they just lost interest in her.

“But do you ever wanna see your mom again?” I asked.

“Well she's my mom. So I guess I do, why do you ask?” Jeanette asked.

“Well, nothing I guess. I mean, I don't know how you are feeling exactly, well because I haven't been in that boat, but I can't imagine anything that would make me never wanna see my mom again,” I replied.

“I wanna see her again, I'm just pissed right now I guess. I don't know how long I'll be pissed off exactly, but still this is bullshit,” Jeanette said.

“Well OK then, but you are just feeling bad, and I just want you to feel better,” I replied.

“I know, you are still a good friend,” Jeanette said.

Then she gave me another hug on my back and she gave me a quick kiss.

“I love you Jeanette, don't worry we'll get through this,” I said.

“I love you too, and I know. Just give me some time,” Jeanette replied.

Then after that, Jeanette was a little depressed from time to time, but she didn't wanna get into it anymore after that, and I respected that. By time she was 22 weeks along, they stopped coming over so much. It was OK not having them over so much, because John and I had more time to ourselves with little Jeanette. John just got home from work as I was feeding little Jeanette. She was 14 weeks old.

“So how is my sweet baby?” John asked as he looked at me and kissed me.

I thought he was joking or something.

“And how are you little Jeanette?” John asked.

“And I'm the sweet baby in that scenario?” I asked.

“Maybe,” John replied right before he laughed a little.

Then we kissed once and enjoyed our time alone for a little while, but of course big Jeanette and Christina still managed to come over every now and then.

“There's the other pregnant lady,” John said.

Then they both sat down with us.

“How is this Jeanette?” Jeanette asked.

“A handful. Almost a big of a handful as you are,” I replied.

“Bleep you. We wanted to know if you be interested in coming in on a little trip with us?” Jeanette asked.

“What trip?” I asked.

“This baby store in the mall. I mean this one is growing fast, so why not?” Jeanette asked.

“Sure why not?” I asked.

“Beats me why not, then we could get some dinner after wards,” Christina replied.

"And you couldn't call us and ask, you just showed up here and asked?" I asked.

"Sweetie, these two are unpredictable," John replied.

"Obviously," I said.

Then I finished feeding little Jeanette and burped her. After that we went off to the mall to find that store. It was nice and big there.

“Well this is nice,” I said.

“Yes it is,” John replied.

Then a saleslady came up too all of us.

“What's her name?” The saleslady asked.

“Jeanette,” I replied.

“Cool, you must be a proud grandfather,” The saleslady said to John.

Then we both had a weird look on our faces.

“No, he's my husband, not my dad,” I said in a tone.

“Oh I'm sorry, he's just older than you. I don't know what else to say, I'm sorry, I had no idea. Well congratulations to you both,” The saleslady replied.

Then she left. I was a little disgusted, but at the same time I knew that had come up before and would again in the future. Of course everyone saw it was bothering me.

“Are you OK sweetheart?” John asked.

“Yes, I'll be fine,” I replied.

“You two go ahead, we'll catch up,” John said.

“OK we can take little Jeanette from you,” Jeanette replied.

Then big Jeanette took little Jeanette and they went off looking at stuff.

“We both know I'm more than a few years older than you, but screw everyone that doesn't like it or doesn't understand it. We both love each other to no end. That's all that matters, you remember that. We have that wonderful little girl over there and we're happy together too. So don't let that get in the way of anything we have our minds on, like shopping for our little girl. We got our eye on the prize of being happy, don't let some saleslady ruin it,” John said.

Then he gave me a hug and kiss. I don't know why exactly, but that lady just kind of got to me for some reason. We all looked around the store to see if there was anything we could get for little Jeanette. After about an hour of looking we came across some stuff we liked but I still had that comment on my mind. We bought some pajamas and went back out into the mall. We headed back outside and went out to dinner. We got a table and sat down. By then I was feeling a little better, not tons better though, and it was as clear as day. So he did something for me after we ordered.

“Hey can you two watch Jeanette for us?” John asked Christina and big Jeanette.

“Yes,” Christina replied.

“Come here sweetheart,” John said to me.

Then I gave little Jeanette to Christina and he brought me to the bathroom.

“Are we going in the bathroom?” I asked.

“We're gonna do something that might make you feel better angel,” John replied.

Then I connected the dots on that.

“Wait you wanna do it in the bathroom?” I asked.

“Yes why not? We can be adventurous even though I'm a lot older than you can't we?” John asked.

I couldn't argue with that. So we both went in the ladies room and got a stall towards
