Chapter 8

Danielle almost through the phone against the wall but composed herself before she did that. “He’s not available right now may I ask who’s calling?”

“Sure this is Jennifer, Craig Spencer’s assistant at the Soul Head Quarters. Craig is looking for 5 min. of Jon’s time.”

“Oh Jennifer hi, this is Danielle I thought you were a fan that somehow got Jon’s number.”

“Oh I’m sorry I should have identified myself.” Jennifer stammered.

“It’s ok. Go ahead and bring Craig on the line I’ll get him Jon.” Danielle smiled waiting for Craig to take the line. When he does Danielle smiled, “Alright buddy you have 5 minutes with my husband that I’m pulling rank.”

“Yes 7.5 month pregnant woman with triplets, you definitely pull rank.” Craig laughed as Danielle walked out into the living room where Jon and his parents were standing. “Jon Craig is on the phone for you, he promises he needs no more than 5 min.”

“Did you threaten him?” Jon laughed kissing Danielle and taking the phone.

“Only a little.” She smiled and turned to walk back into the bedroom when Jon’s dad caught her.

“Hey aren’t you going to talk to me? I know the kids got us over here a bit un-expected but how have you been sweetie?”

The kids, figures Danielle thought.

“I’ve been good, trying to get some sleep when I can since the children don’t seem to know the concept.”

“Which children?” Jon’s dad asked ready to scold the older kids if needed.

“Oh dad there’s nothing you can do it's these 3 that are being restless.” Danielle smiled rubbing her very large belly.

“Can’t Jon make them behave, doesn’t his voice calm them?” His dad asked.

“Sure it does but then somehow they get a look at him and freak again. Did you see what he did to his hair? Can I pay you to fix it?” Dani smiled.

“What’s wrong with his hair?” Carole asked but Dani ignored her.

As Jon walked back into the room and his father started laughing.

Jon was no longer on the phone and looked to his wife knowing she instigated this. “Ok dad I know you’re on her side, whatever she wants just do it.”

“Jon that’s not fair to you.” His mom says.

“Mom she has 3 of our children inside of her, I think if she wanted my hair purple, I’d do it for her.”
Dad turned to Danielle. “What do you like his hair to look like?”

“Have a nice day or this left; I could handle Bounce if I have to.”

“You’re talking in terms of his albums?” His dad laughed.

“yes.” Danielle states.

“Long shaggy blond?” His dad asked as she shook her head yes.

“Honey you realize I have short, cut, almost black hair.” He smiled that smile that normally gets him his own way.

“So fix it.” She said flatly.

“Pregnancy hormones make you so cute.” Jon smiled and kissed her.

“Baby these aren’t pregnancy hormones. I know you’re hair isn’t that dark. I have proof.” She laughed as the babies kicked. “Jon tell these 3 to behave. That one hurt.” Danielle cringed at that kick. She moved to try to sit down but because of her size couldn’t do it herself.

Jon helped to sit her down and wrapped his hands around her belly. “hey angels be nice to mommy. So how do you want me to fix it?”

“Stop cutting it, let it go natural in color then let dad reshape it when it gets longer.”

“Danielle, how have you been feeling?” Carole asks her directly.

“I’ve been well thank you.” Danielle answered formally.

“Do we have to be this formal?” Carole asked.

“You’re lucky I’m talking to you at all. I have little to no use for someone who is fake. You don’t like me, I don’t care. I’m married to your son I am his wife, not the woman you seem to worship so if you can’t get over that I don’t really give a damn. Now if you’ll excuse me the Dr. says I should avoid stress so I’m leaving the room.” Danielle looked to Jon for help up.

As she was standing Carole did something Danielle never thought she’d hear. “I’m sorry Danielle, I was wrong in how I treated you. I hope one day you can forgive me and allow me into the family you are creating with Jon.”
