last update Last Updated: 2023-11-29 15:48:11

The fact that Jessie would finally go shopping with Din was one aspect of the holiday that was beginning to go well. Shopping was never her thing, but this time, tree shopping was.

She had a conversation with Taylor the day after Thanksgiving and knew why she had opted to spend the holiday with her boyfriend rather than her friend. Din had talked her into not being angry, and Jessie realized that Taylor had her life now.

"Come on." As the door was opened, Din grabbed Jessie's hand. He grunted as he assisted her, and because Jessie was already gaining weight, carrying her was similar to lifting weights at the gym. Din didn't want to go near that area. Even though he loves Jessie dearly, he won't risk hurting himself by attempting to carry her into the mall. Besides, Jessie could walk perfectly. "I can help myself, Din."

"I know, but it's my responsibility as your husband—er, boyfriend—to assist you."

"Really?" Jessie let go of his hand. She smirked as she folded them across her chest

    "I wasn't aware that you meant to buy them pre-made when you said you wanted to go tree shopping." Cedric approached Jessie as soon as he noticed her standing in front of the tree, jolting her out of her daydream. Jessie swiveled around to face him. "I find this ready-made to be attractive." She said. "It has silver ornaments." After clearing his throat, Cedric stopped next to Jessie. "I'm not here for the tree, though, but I still think families should work together. And by that I meant that I believed Abby and you were intended to get the ornaments and decorate together. You know, the Christmas spirit." At Cedric's response, Jessie chuckled. She took a deep breath. "Believe me, I wanted that more than anything, but I still like this one. There are still other things we can decorate around the tree with since Christmas hasn't arrived yet. Like a red and white muffler, perhaps with a tiny Jesus Christ statue or star." "I will just tell myself that you know exactly what you are doi

    Jessie's only concern as she descended the stairs was to avoid talking about birthdays or anything else. She only intended to enjoy a nice meal next to Din, after which the rest of the evening would be history. "Good evening, family." She walked up to the dining room table. She was unable to bring herself to make Din's smile disappear as he gazed at her with such adoration. "Abby, it smells so good." "Thank you, Jessie." Abby spoke up as Jessie walked over to the chair to take a seat. When she looked at Din, she realized that if she kept grinning, things would get uncomfortable. Her throat was cleared. "I didn't see you all afternoon." Din put his face in Jessie's direction and dropped the spoon he was holding onto his plate. She bent to kiss his lips, and when she opened her eyes, she could see the color of his eyes, an ocean blue, as they stared down at her. With love. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out, "Well, I have been busy. Sierra had so many questions," he said, g

    Jessie got up at three in the morning. After she had spoken with Din about letting go of the past and making his birthday special, Din had dozed off while she was holding him. Din had everything, so Jessie thinks that giving him a gift for his birthday won't be particularly special. She knew she had to do something special for him, and the only thing that came to mind was...Jessie gasped. "Cake!" She screamed and covered her mouth with her hand as soon as she noticed Din had adjusted his body on the bed. This time, she whispered, "Cake." How will she accomplish getting a cake to him before he wakes up if the bakery won't have opened that early? She placed his hand on the bed after gently removing it from her lap. After getting out of bed, Jessie put on her slippers. She needs to think of another strategy, perhaps baking a cake for him herself. Jessie, on the other hand, was not a baker. She used to be more of a cook, so she is in need of all the help she can get. As she slithered o

    Jessie placed the cake in the oven and gave it 35 minutes to bake. During that waiting time, Jessie was getting ready to make her icing. She had not done anything as good in a while as this. She wanted to make the day special for Din because he meant a lot to her. When the oven began to beep, Jessie opened it. She was wearing a glove when she took the cake out of the oven. It was precisely the shade of chocolate she needed. After 10 minutes, she transferred it to a cooling rack, ran a knife around the pan's rim, and turned the cake out to finish cooling. Jessie started to adorn the cake the way she thought Din would prefer it and positioned a single candle in the center of it. She yawned and stretched as she reached for her phone to check the time. By that point, it was 6:49 a.m. Almost to seven. Jessie carefully held the cake in her hand, lit the candle, and walked out of the kitchen. With a smile on her face, she made her way up to her room. She went to Din's bed as soon as she w

    After hearing a loud thud, Din turned around. Jessie was lying on the floor. Eyes closed. As he stood up, he pushed the chair aside. He rushed over to her and knelt. "Jessie!" From the ground, he picked her up and placed her in his arms. "Jessie, wake up!" "I think she is tired because she stayed awake all night." Mary said. "She stayed awake? Why?" Cedric asked. "Get some water for me and stop talking!" Din yelled. On Jessie's hair, he put his hand. "Be quick, okay?" He yelled once more. Water in hand, Mary returned into the dining area. She handed it to Din. "Call 911. Nothing must happen to my wife and my children." "Yes, sir." Mary stood up trembling and rushed to grab the phone. While Din sprayed water on Jessie's face, she dialed 911. "Wake up, please." He held her closer to his chest while setting the bowl on the floor. "Jessie, please get up." He sobbed before starting to rub her hand. While laying his head on her head, he heard a sneeze. "Jessie?" He released her gentl

    "I still can't believe Jessie would stay up all night just to get you a birthday gift. Every day I see a different Jessie." As she seated herself next to Din, she gave him a bottle of water. "Din, I understand how you feel. I also feel sad." Taylor said. "Thank you for the water." Din popped it open and drank. Since he arrived at the hospital, he hasn't been in Jessie's room for the past two hours, and Jessie hasn't awakened either. Din felt that she needed the sleep because she hadn't slept much because of him. "When will the result be out?" "Dr. Andrew promised to call me as soon as the results are ready. I just hope she and the babies are alright." Taylor took a breath. "I really hope so." When she saw Williams approaching them, she waved. "You can sit next to me." Din raised his head and started looking around with his eyes. "What are you looking for?" Williams asked. Din gave him a look. "No one." He said. He was indeed looking for Bev, but given how close Bev and Taylor are

    Besides Sundays, of course, Christmas Eve is like the holiest day of the century. Families get together and celebrate the holiday while anticipating Christmas Day. In the middle of the afternoon, light snow was falling outside the house and automobile horns could be heard. "They've arrived!" As she sprinted to the window, Gracie yelled. She looked outside and saw the car light turned off. "It is James, Henry, and Kelvin. They are all here!" She continued to scream. "Really? James is here?" As she walked up to the window, Jessie had a pan of cookies in her hand. She gave Gracie the pan. "Go on. Eat it with milk. Tell Mary to prepare some for you." "I am not a child, you know?" Grace took hold of the pan."Well, if you don't want it, we can give it to people who do." Gracie rolled her eyes and strode off holding the cookie pan. Jessie walked up to the door and flung it open. When James got close to her, she started to laugh. "Goodness gracious. You didn't call to say you would be he

    Din heard a knock on the door while he was using his laptop. He had been debating how to inform Jessie about the doctor's remarks for the previous three weeks. "Come on in." He spoke while setting his laptop down on the bed. The door opened and James entered. Din was startled and surprised as he rose to his feet. "James?" He walked to him and pulled him to a hug. "Easy." James said before settling down on the couch. He took a quick look around. "I haven't been over here in a while, but it has changed." "It used to be my childhood room, but because Jessie is here, Granddad had to make some changes. He claimed he never let anyone use my room.""He couldn't give your room out. You lived here with Sierra all your childhood years and there isn't anybody he could give your room to if he even wanted to." Din sat on the bed and let out a breath. He smiled as he turned to face James. "Where have you been?" He queried. "You recently disappeared from the planet. Just like that." James star

    Three months later…"Come home early today. I have something to tell you.""Really?" Din asked. They were both standing at the doorway. She was seeing him off as he prepared to leave for work. Din was prepared to sue Beth when the babies arrived three months ago, but Jessie dissuaded him. She claimed that she could have handled things worse if she had been the one, but Din asked for legal action not because of the video she sent but rather because of the money she stole from him. "She cheated me, Jessie. For this reason, I intended to sue her. I need her to pay the money back." He had said to Jessie so she would understand that this isn't about letting Beth go. "Din, you used to love her. You should let it go. She is already paying for what she has done to you." While gazing at her, Din sighed. He said, "Do you know how beautiful you are?" and she grinned. "You are really beautiful, Jessie." He kissed her on the lips. "Alright. Tonight I will see you, okay? This coming weekend, we

    The month of March had just begun. The impending arrival of her children and Din's proposal on Valentine's Day made Jessie very happy. She'd been preparing her mind about having a fancy white wedding after a few months of childbirth. Din was a sweet man, and she couldn't stop loving him. They had also moved past their past, and they had been content ever since. "Do you like this yellow dress on me?" Din heard Jessie say as she turned to face him. She was getting ready for a Saturday picnic with the girls while he was on the bed working on his laptop. They would prefer to go on a picnic before she gives birth because they are aware that once motherhood begins, Jessie won't have the time to spend time with them. Din nodded. "You look good in everything." "I do." When Jessie got close to him, she kissed him on the lips. "I'm leaving right away. The girls will be furious if I come a little too late." "Alright. Have a nice day, my love." Din observed Jessie reaching for the door, but

    "Din." "Jessie, are you okay?" Din properly set her down. "Are you hurt?" Jessie shook her head. "I am fine. Thank you," she said. Awkwardly, they both exchanged glances. Din wanted to scream his apology and beg for pardon, but he was interrupted. "You two are here together. That is really odd." When Sierra saw the two of them together, she said. "I was on my way to get you two downstairs. The New Year is quickly approaching, and it won't be enjoyable without the entire family present." She took both of their hands, and they all descended the stairs. Looking at the entire family, Jessie felt a strange sensation in her body. It's been days since she last saw them. Cedric didn't seem angry; in fact, he approached her smiling. "Are you two okay?" He asked. "We are fine, granddad." Din said. "Yes. We are. I asked Din to leave the room for a few days because I was dealing with so much with the babies and I didn't want to hurt him." She quickly laughed. "Hormones are to blame," "Real

    In the blink of an eye, morning arrived. It arrived as quickly as a moving train. Din opened his eyes with a groan. Turning to his side, he looked out the window. He could also hear the chirping of birds and see the falling snowflakes and snow. Christmas day had just begun. He sat up and got out of bed. He didn't get to sleep in his own bed for the first time in a few weeks. In contrast, sleeping in the guest room was the worst experience ever. Din didn't get a lot of rest. He spent the entire night thinking about Jessie. He stretched his back and walked into the bathroom. There were extra fresh brush sets and a few plain tees in every room of the mansion. Din put on a plain t-shirt that he had taken. He wore the same pants he had on the previous day. Now that Jessie didn't even want to see him, there was no possible way for him to return to his room. He realizes that there is no way for him to proceed to the breakfast table. Jessie would be furious at him and would want to yell, a

    Din was sobbing quietly while his head was resting on the door. Beth won't get away with this. He would track her down and hold her accountable for her actions. The outcome he didn't want has now materialized. Jessie despises him and doesn't want to see him again. He sighed, and just as he turned to walk away, he heard footsteps approaching. "Are you okay?" Din swiveled around to face James. Din had sobbed, and James could tell by the dejected expression on his face. "What is going on with you? Is it Jessie?" "I don't want to talk about it, James." Din turned and strode off. He opened the door to their floor's guest room, went inside, and shut the door behind him. There was no chance he could save this relationship at this point. Jessie is gone now. The rest of the family wondered why none of them appeared at the dinner table that evening. "This has never happened before." Cedric said. He turned to face Sierra. "Are they okay? Should we call the doctor? This is Christmas Eve. The r

    "Is something wrong?" Din's gloominess caught Cedriec's attention. Ever since he informed him that Jessie was exhausted and had gone to her room, he had seemed unhappy. Din sighed. "I'm fine, granddad." On the sofa, he took a seat. Without Jessie, there was no chance for the game to succeed. When he saw Bev approaching, he stopped her. Din got up and led Bev over to the corner. "Tell me, is Jessie all right?" In all honesty, he had anticipated that she would scream or jerk her hand away, but Bev did neither. She behaved nicely. She nodded. "She looks fine to me. She is just asleep." "Thank God." Din breathed out. "Thank you for this information. I will check up on her myself when she is awake." Following a warm smile, Bev walked away. Din returned to the tree, and the contest started. With what Bev had said, he was happy. Just that alone gave him peace of mind that Jessie was doing well. Din assumed control of the situation and was requested to sing. He was initially hesitant, bu

    Jessie switched off her phone and looked in his direction. She gave him that ferociously intense look tinged with hatred. Every part of her hated him at the moment, and all Jessie wanted to do was approach him and yell at him. She wanted to grab hold of his shirt collar and ask him what she had done wrong for him to even consider ruining her life. Has he always been this cruel? Well, she knew Din Cooper was cruel, but she never imagined that he would destroy someone else's life in order to achieve his goals. "Jessie." Din waved after noticing her fixed gaze on him. She didn't wave in return. She was staring at him, but she wasn't in the moment. He placed what he was holding on the sofa and walked over to her. "Jessie." He called softly, putting his hand on her shoulder to startle her from her thoughts. Suddenly gasping in silence, Jessie turned to face him. Her eyes widened. She knew exactly how to keep her cool in front of this man. The man she loves. The man who will become the fa

    Standing by the tree, she couldn't help but turn to look at the young boy. Henry was a jerk when she last spoke to him three hours ago. How could he treat his son in that way? How could he behave in such a way toward his son? Jessie sighed as she returned to the room. The time for the game she had planned had already arrived. The door opened as she changed into a different outfit. She saw Din walking towards her. He embraced her and gave her a neck kiss. "How are you today?" He asked. Jokingly, Jessie rolled her eyes. "You ignored me the entire time because you were with your family." "That's not true. I kept thinking of you the entire time." And he was speaking the truth. Throughout those conversations he was having with his cousins, he had been thinking about her. Although he wanted to stay with her longer, he was unable to leave his cousin's side."Hmm." She whirled around and gave him a glance. She put both her hands on his shoulders. Jessie could tell from the expression on hi

    The girls stood in front of the television as the Christmas song started to play, singing and dancing along. The entire time, Jessie was smiling and content because she had resolved all of her issues with Din. They both made the decision to be honest with one another and made a commitment not to keep secrets. That way, they can keep a healthy relationship. "Come on, girls. Cookies!" The girls ran to her with giggles as she approached them holding a tray of cookies. They each chose two before returning to the television. Ben made the decision to leave Jessie's company earlier that afternoon and head to his father because the games the girls were playing involved dressing up. She won't blame him, though. After all, he was a boy, and no boy his age wants to play dress up. "Psst." Jessie whispered to Silver. "Come here." Silver rushed over to her when she motioned. Jessie bent down to be on the same level as the little girl. "I need something from you." Silver asked with a mouthful. "
