Incoming!

Last month I was working at the DX....as usual. We had an unusual amount of customers that day, who seemed more interested in purchasing things inside than they did gas. The last customer for the noon rush had just left when Jelly walked into the store, with tears pouring down her cheeks.
"What happened Jels?" I asked. She handed me a wad of folded papers. I began reading them, and my heart sank.
"Kit?" I suspected, and Jelly's nod confirmed it.
"That's terrible....ya know, no matter what Steve did to me, I could never do something like this for revenge on him...friends don't do that." I explained, contemplating a talk/fight to soon be had with Kit.
Jelly's sobs quickened, and she fell into my chest, so I did the only thing I could....I wrapped my arms around her and held her against me.
"What did Dimitri say?" I asked.
"He was mad because I didn't tell him... because I lied to him...it was all about him. He has no idea how that made me feel, and it didn't seem much like he cared." Jelly said.
There was long silence after that, and then I heard Jelly mumble into my shirt, "Do you think we would still be together if that hadn't happened?" She asked.
I thought for a minute...what if that had never happened...would we never have separated?
I pulled her away from me and looked her in the eye, "Jels.. I think it was meant to happen. We weren't meant to be together. Back then we were little kids..we thought we'd be together forever. But, I can't imagine life differently than it is now...without Katie, without Skye. They're my world, I couldn't trade them for anything.... and yeah, Dimitri should have acted differently, but you still love him...you're still married to him, and I know you wouldn't want a life without him......this is the life you were meant to live Jels."
"Yeah.....I know, you're right." She wiped her wet cheeks.
"I can talk to him for ya, if you want?" I offered.
"No.....no, I need to do it myself." She answered, then she turned and headed out the door.

It was two A.M. when I got home Thursday after work...well, and after Steve and me went partying. Wow...only two in the morning? Were getting old -.-
Anyways, I heard Skye moving around, and sneezing. She'd had a cold for awhile. I walked into her room and saw her face light up. "Da, da!" she said, her first word that we discovered last week.
"Hey baby girl." I whispered, picking her up. I sat with her in the rocking chair awhile, playing with her toes until she fell asleep.
After putting her back in her crib, I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I got out I started drying off my hair, then I noticed something sitting on the counter. I held the plastic stick between my fingers and read "POSITIVE".
I slid into bed and noticed Katie was awake, I was glad...cause I couldn't wait to share my excitement with her.
"Another baby, huh?" I said.
"Yeah." She smiled, curling up next to me.
"You just keep giving me the best, don't you?" I smiled.
"So you're excited? You don't think it's too soon?" she asked.
"No... I think it's perfect." I answered.
