Jimi finally gets to come home tomorrow! I have been coming home every night for the comfort of the bed and my back. Elijah is with me along with Joyce, I'll take them to see Jimi for a while and have dinner there and then either Phillip or Kim offers to take them so I can be with Jimi. After visiting hours are over I go pick Them both up and we go home. After two weeks of Jimi there and not home, I'm tired of travelling and trying to get everything done while visiting. I ain't home so I do all my house chores at night after I put Joyce and E to bed at 8-8:30. I don't get to sleep until maybe midnight. The latest at 2am. I sleep for 3 maybe 4 hours depending on when Joyce wakes through the night and in the morning. Elijah gets up at 7 and by then Joyce and I are down stairs with breakfast made. I shower in the nights when both kids are asleep and I have the baby monitor with me.

Having a high risk pregnant at 46 years old and currently mothering a kid and a toddler by myself while my husband is broken at the hospital is very stressful. My morning sickness started lasting all mornings and afternoons of every day. I have another appointment tomorrow for me and the baby. I know I need to slow down but I can't until Jimi is healed. Even when he gets home he'll be slow and sore and just be on bed rest with his ankle and ribs. So I'll continue to do stuff. But having him home saves traveling and it's easier on me.

I look at the time on my night stand after I shower and change for bed. 3:27am. I lay down and fall asleep until Joyce Wakes me at 4:45 I move her in my room so I can lay her down beside me and fall back in bed. Once she goes back down she wakes up at 6. I change her diaper and clothes and go make breakfast. Elijah comes down around 7 and eats. Once done I take him up and he gets dressed and I put stuff in their bags to take to Kimberly's today. I get them both in the car and drive to the hospital. I take them to Jimi holding Elijah and Joyce's hands. I go into Jimi's room and he's awake and sitting up. Elijah runs beside him and climbs up on the bed to lay beside him. I pick up Joyce and pass her to Jimi. I kiss Jimi good morning.

"Hey baby, how was last night with the kids? They were good?" I sit down by his feet and sets a hand on his leg.

"Yeah they were."

"What time did you sleep?"

"Around 3:30 And up at 4:45 back to sleep by 5:15 then up for the day at 6."

"Babe you need more sleep. That was 2 hours of sleep. How often are you like this..?"

"Last two weeks dear."

"It needs to stop."

"Can't. Stuff needs to get done."

"Sleep."

"Not right now."

"How was your morning sickness?"

"Like usual. I threw up twice this morning. And now my stomach is just turning."

"Baby I'm sorry I'm not home to help. You're tired and don't need to be doin everything..."

"I'm fine..."

"You're not. You have bags under your eyes, you barely keep your eyes open. Wondering how you even drive. And your pregnant which makes you tired anyways. And the throwing up ain't helping."

"Like I said. Things need to get done. My appointment is soon."

"You can't solve this conversation by leaving."

"I can. Watch the kids. I'll be back." I give Elijah and Joyce a kiss on their heads and I kiss Jimi's lips and walk to the next floor up which is the maternity floor. I go to the desk and fill out the paper and wait. Once called they take me back they ask me questions, I don't lie to them and tell them everything. They look at the baby.

"The Baby is healthy, right size... making good progress. But the mommy is gonna have to take it easy. There is some stress and it needs to stop. I know your husband is admitted here, but you need to get more sleep and do less. And don't lift heavy things. Be on a better diet then cafe food here or fast food. And drink more water, your H20 levels are low. If you don't follow these instructions by the next appointment then I'll put you on strict bedrest."

"Okay. My husband comes home today. Or at least I hope he does. So things will be better. And I'll try my hardest to settle down."

"Okay. So since you're two and a half months, I'm gonna start moving your appointment to monthly. Everything seems to be good. Just follow as I say and everything should be fine. Any problems or questions come in or call."

"Thank you."

I go schedule an appointment for a month and go to the cafe and grab a tea and a coffee. I walk back to Jimi's room and my maternity nurse is in there talking with my husband telling him everything she told me with my kids in the room. Which is kind of rude. Does she not think I'm capable of telling my husband? She walks out and smiles and me. I smile back and go to Jimi passing him his coffee. As I sip my tea.

"I told you, you needed to settle down."

"I know..."

"No you don't. You could lose the baby, be on strict bedrest or be hospitalized."

"I know. I got the same talk she gave you. I do not need an 'I told you so' lecture right now Jimi... you know we have two kids, one is like you and the other is in her terrible twos. It's hard for me to catch a break to relax. They are always doin something that they shouldn't be. And they both know how to fight with each other too. And they don't just yell. They climb on each other and fight."

"I'm sorry baby... and they fight..?"

"I haven't caught them but both Kim and Phillip said they get angry and start hitting and kicking each other. I can't wait til I catch them doin it. Grounded for a while."

"What does Kim and Phillip do?"

"I told them to lock them in separate rooms with no toys or electronics and have them sit it out for now. And when they get home they go straight to bed."

"I wish I could help you baby. If I could make it easier on you, I would. I'm worried about you. You should never have to deal with all this while pregnant. And alone."

"Baby don't, I'm not alone. I have you."

"Barely. I can't help you."

"It don't matter."

"It does." I look at him as the kids are still cuddling him sweetly.

Jimi's doctor came in to check on Jimi and have him up and trying to walk. He needs crutches for his ankle, but he can move freely with caution of his ribs. But he said Jimi could come home and do as he pleases just being careful and no strenuous work. A nurse wheels him out as I take E and Joyce. Jimi puts the crutches in the back on the floor as I buckle Joyce in. Elijah is big enough. I go and offer Jimi an arm to get in with. Then I get in and drive us home. Once there I got the kids out and they ran inside. I helped Jimi who managed to get out. I gave him his crutches and we went inside and the kids were waiting for Jimi inside.

Kimberly texted and said she was almost here. I got the kids ready with their bags and sent them to Kim's. They were staying the night so Jimi could get used to home again and I could sleep. Kim and Phillip both new about my 'high risk' pregnancy and help when they can. Once the house was quiet I sat beside Jimi on the couch.

"Go sleep."

"The dishes, and clothes have to be washed. I need to check our emails and I have to call Jay and tell him to delay the recording for another two weeks for now."

"I can call Jay and tell him that and I can check out emails."

"Okay." I grab the phone and the laptop and give them to Jimi. I go do the dishes and then the laundry. When I get back Jimi has the recording session rescheduled and is almost done with the emails. I cook us something small and we eat. Once done he looks at me.

"Sleep."

"Okay." I get up and so does he. He goes upstairs and I am closely behind him in case he has issues goin up. Once there, we change for bed, I help Jimi and we both lay down. I carefully cuddle him and it's only 7PM but we didn't care. Then I get a text from Kim.

~The kids fought again.~

~Really?! Again?! If you want send them home.~

~No that's okay. They are separated now. Steve is taking Elijah fishing tonight and Joyce will help me bake.~

~Thanks Kim. Really appreciate it xo❤️~

~No worries Kare. 😘~

"The kids fought again at Kim's."

"Why do they do that?"

"I don't know."

"It's okay. We'll deal with it after, sleep now." I nod and cuddle him again and fall asleep pretty quickly.

I wake up a couple hours later and Jimi is awake and stroking my hair.

"Hey baby, how was your nap?"

"Much needed. Thank you."

"Don't thank me. You need rest. You've been doin too much."

"Yeah... but it needs to get done or it won't."

"I know baby. What is left? I can try and help."

"Unless you can ride the tractor and mow the grass, I don't think ya can."

"I can't but I can always try."

"No, I'm not letting you hurt yourself more."

"I can drive."

"The tractor is a machine you climb on, tell me how you plan on getting up and down with one foot and broken ribs?"

"I'll figure it out."

"No."

"Baby, you can't do it."

"I can so. But it wasn't getting done today."

"Take one day off."

"I'm using our day alone to catch up on stuff while the kids are gone."

"No, take one day off."

"Jimi, I love you, But life continues on."

"It does, But be with me today."

"I'm not gonna win, am I?"

"No." I sigh and get up and help Jimi. He denies and tries but I always help. I go to the closet and change into a my bikini and a sun dress. I help Jimi into his swim shorts. I help him down stairs and out on the back patio area. I bring out two glasses of ice water. He sits on the lawn chair and I take off my sun dress.

"Damn Baby. Still sexy as ever."

"Shut up."

"I mean it baby."

"Whatever." I walk into the pool and swim around some to cool down. It was pretty hot out. Jimi watches me as I swim around. I get out and help him up without his crutches and helps him on the steps into the pool. He sits on the second last step so most of his body is under water. His shoulders, arms and chest are out along with his head. I swim around and then when I get kinda tired I move between his legs with my back to his front. He holds me carefully and sets his head on top of mine gently.

"I love you J"

"I love you too baby"

"I was really scared when the cops came and said something happened.."

"I'm really sorry to scare you."

"It's not your fault. I was just worried."

"I know baby. But you need to be carful too. You're having another baby and you're already a couple months along. And if we had of known before my accident I wouldn't have ever left your side."

"I know... I realize I was gaining weight but I though it was because of the tour... and you're not gonna be over protective like you were for E and Joyce"

"I know baby. But now we know, and you know I'm over protective anyways." I nod and we end our day with relaxing and cuddling.
