Sitting
in the kitchen at Jimmy’s home, I was flipping through a bridal magazine to
find a matron of honor dress for Sue’s wedding to my uncle. It was early May
and the wedding plans were nearly completed, save for my dress choice and
choosing a wedding cake. Lauren was going to design a dress for Sue and was
nearly done with it. I had no idea what it looked like, so I was going in blind
in choosing my dress. The only thing I knew was that the wedding was going to
be casual.
Leah
was on the floor playing with Charlie, who was squirming and trying to explore
the new space. Sue was sitting on the overstuffed couch, watching over my son
and her daughter.
Seth
was standing behind his fiancée in the kitchen, trying to pick out wedding
invitations. Uncle Jimmy was experimenting. He was trying to figure out how to
incorporate some new ingredients into his menu at The Blue Swan.
“Bells,
try this,” Uncle Jimmy said, putting something onto a plate. “What does it
need?”
I
took the proffered plate, cutting into the meat. I moaned when I tasted the
meat. “Oh my God. This just melts in your mouth, Uncle Jimmy. What is this?”
“Beef
spareribs,” he answered. “How’s the sauce? Too spicy? Not spicy enough? Be
brutally honest, Bells.”
“What
are you planning on serving this on?” I countered. “Mashed potatoes?”
“I’m
thinking some homemade mac and cheese,” he replied.
“Then,
the sauce is too sweet,” I said, focusing my attention to the sauce. “You need
more heat and the sauce needs to be more savory, less like a barbeque.”
Uncle
Jimmy nodded and pulled out another pan. He began throwing ingredients into it,
muttering to himself. I snickered, enjoying the remaining meat on the plate.
I’d
been staying with my uncle since Edward was out of town and had been for the
past week. I was fine with staying at the house on my own, but Edward wanted me
to either stay with his parents or with my uncle because Jake, Felix, Liam and
the rest of the guys needed to go with him. Seth was staying back since he and
Claire had several appointments they couldn’t miss.
Alice
was staying with Peter and Charlotte in Carlisle and Esme’s home. Carlisle was
with Edward, doing whatever Mobwardy thing they needed to accomplish. It was a
big deal. Most of the family was needed and they flew to Italy. My husband
checked with me when he woke up and before he went to sleep every day, but I missed him. I slept
like shit without my husband. Charlie was persnickety, anxious to see his
‘dada’. Though, his vocabulary had expanded in the past few months.
Dada,
momma, no, ball, yuck and yay are his favorite words.
He
also picked up his father’s potty mouth.
Charlie
was sitting in his highchair, enjoying some apples with Nonna Esme and he
blurted out ‘fuck’, giggling happily. I blushed furiously, gaping at my child.
Esme stared at him in shock, but gave me an understanding smile. I’d been
pretty good at curtailing my cursing, but it appeared that Edward had not. With
Edward as Charlie’s father, it was a foregone conclusion that inappropriate
language would be a possibility. Also, trying to reason with a baby was insane.
It’s like arguing quantum physics with him.
No,
Charlie, you can’t use the word
‘fuck.’ It’s not good for babies to use.
Mommy
and Daddy did a lot of fucking to create you …
