Kate Part 30:
Wrapping up Jared and Julia...
2 1/2 Years after Julia disappeared with her mother:The day after they reconnected at the beach...
Julia called Jared and told him she had a surprise for him and to please be open minded. He got the address to her new house in town and rushed over...

He walked in and noticed a bunch of baby items around the house. Julia must be running a daycare he thought to himself.
A big hug and a bigger kiss....


Then Julia asked if Jared would like to see the surprise....He said he already saw that she was running a home daycare and thought it was a great idea!
"Um, I think you have the wrong idea Jared...I want you to meet your sons...." Julia prayed he would be happy with his children and not reject both them and her. Jared didn't even notice the two little boys playing on the floor when he walked in he was too eager to see Julia. She introduced him to Michael and Joseph...his twin sons who were conceived on their wedding night.

Michael:

Joseph:

Jared went right over to Michael and scooped him up,
"Joseph is my dad’s name" he said.
"Yes and Michael is your middle name” said Julia.

"I love them!!" Jared smiled.

He went over and picked up Joseph...

"I wish you could have told me about your pregnancy" sighed Jared.
"I wish I could have too but my mother moved up to somewhere called Bridgeport and magically locked me in the house, it was a spell even I couldn't figure out".
"The spell was broken when my mother got hit by a bus, I didn't want to be happy that she died but I admit I was, she was a hateful very evil woman".
The two decided right away that Jared would move in with Julia and the kids. Connor might be surprised that his ex girlfriend was now married and had two sons with his brother but Jared said he would just have to get over it if it peeved him, he dumped Julia and Jared was smart and lucky enough to grab her.
They spent the rest of the afternoon catching up and playing with their boys.



Jared took it upon himself to teach Joseph how to walk.

Then cuddle time..

Julia taught Michael how to walk..

Joseph playing with his blocks..

Jared playing with the peg box with Joseph..


A few minutes to do a bit of reading while Julia finished up teaching Michael how to walk.

Supper time!

Joseph looked at his "food"...

and decided "No Way!!"

Jared cleaned up the mess right away, he loved even the yucky parts of being a dad.

Joseph got a bath...

Michael played in the playpen..

Jared loved his kids!

Joseph's favorite hiding spot.

Julia had changed into her nightie, Jared noticed and rushed to get the kids to bed.


10 seconds later......he had missed his wife terribly!




Not sure what that thought bubble is but she keeps getting it!

Michael has recently discovered how to escape from his crib in the middle of the night and wander around getting into everything.




He even went in to visit mom and dad!
********************************************************I had to change the time frame from 4 years to 2 1/2 because 3 year olds already know how to walk and talk. 4 years would also clash with when Jared was involved with Erika, which happened before he met Julia. Riley was not on vacation with his dad when they went to IP because he decided to stay home with Kate....lets say they were taking a summer class together, at the school.
My mouth is feeling better, took some of the heavy duty painkillers today because tylenol just wasn't doing it. I graduated to mashed potatoes and yogurt, I feel like a 6 month old! :o
