Chapter 422 - Preparing the best gift ever

Iris woke up when Jeff is teasing Jean. She just stayed calm so the siblings will continue their bickering's. But she could hardly control at their counter attacks… 

"Well, your sleeping Beauty woke up Mr. Valdez. I think you have something important to do now" Jean teased. 

"Jean, wait for Mr. Summers to come back. I bet you are in more need to have this quality time than us. Missing him already" Iris teased. 

"Oh…Iris. Why are thinking dirty. I just mean that sleep is the important thing you have to do now. Why are you in 'that mood'. Don't worry…Jeff is there right beside you" Jean chuckled. 

No one can win this verbal battle with Jean. 

"Jean, is it true that after getting pregnant the desires will increase drastically. Are you feeling it now" Iris asked and Jeff coughed. 

"Honey it is still too early to tell" he gave her the explanation. 

"Oh…..I get it. But Jean how do you feel to be pregnant. It would be miraculously strange and joyful I think" Iris asked in sheer excitement. 

"Yes. I feel too happy but equally nervous and scared" Jean's happy face morphed into worry as she caressed her tummy over and over again. 

Jeff who detected the off tone of his sister pursed his lips. "Iris, if you are that excited to know why don't you experience it by yourself. I can help you with it very gladly" he gave her a sinister look but he mostly did this to make Jean laugh. 

As expected Jean laughed heartily and Iris blushed. 

"You idiot, pervert, gangster" Iris cursed but she is really trying to hide her shyness. 

Well, not that she is against his idea but this is not the right time yet….

She is in middle of mess…as well 

"Iris darling, I think it is very good idea. See, Jeff is already ready with weapons" Jean teased. 

Her baby really brightened her mood. After knowing that she is pregnant Jean is trying her level best to not think about stressful matters. So, she often tried to indulge in talking with others and teasing them like this.

Iris almost coughed her blood. Jean indeed became too bold and teasing, which is never her type. She is very shy and introvert when it comes to things like this let alone speak so boldly. 

May be pregnancy changed her a lot. But it's been only three weeks. Naturally they understood that she is trying to keep her negative thoughts away. 

So caring and cautious even from the start. 

She will really make a good mother. Little they would have imagined that her children will create a history which no one will forget. They will accomplish something greater and higher than their parents. 

"*cough*…..*cough* Jean, Iris is blushing profoundly that I started worrying if all her blood got acc.u.mulated in her face region" Rick laughed seeing a ride tomato in his arms. 

"Haha… all right. I already wasted your precious time right now. I called because I need your help" Jean asked. 

"Sure. Whatever it is we are willing to help" Iris said. 

"No problem Jean. Ask" Jeff asked. 

"Tomorrow, I am planning to tell Scott and I want to make it special" Jean said while skimming her fingers on her stomach. 

"Wow, it's good. He will be totally surprised and happy Jean. Don't forget to record it" Jeff laughed. 

Poor brother in law...his tough life is going to start now. He will be eaten by his own jealousy. 

"How can we help in it. Did you plan anything" Iris asked as she donned herself in a bathrobe. 

"Yep. All I want is to distract him for at least three hours so I can prepare everything" Jean said. 

"OK when it is time, message me so I will call Scott to come to main base. But it will only buy to two hours at most" Iris said. 

"I will distract him with the talk about my new business project. I will ask his advice and I can distract him for other two hours" Jeff said. 

Jean chuckled and smiled. "Thank you guys. Thank a lot." Jean thanked them. 

"No problem Jean. It is nothing" both of them said at the same time. 

"Thank you guys. Good night have happy time" Jean didn't forget to tease them. 

"Well, you too" they laughed. 

...

Scott came back only to see his wife sitting in balcony and looking at sky. She had a smile plastered on her face while her hands fidgeted with each other. Clearly showing that she is in deep thought. 

"What's wrong baby." Scott asked and sat beside her before pulling her into his lap. 

"I am bored. Let's go out for a walk and I have to do some shopping" Jean said and snuggled closer. 

She took his hand and kissed it before placing his hand on her stomach. It is so normal action that Scott didn't notice that she did it deliberately. 

'Baby, here is your father. Is his touch warm just like mine' Jean thought. She knew that she is being irrational but talking to her baby like this made her too happy. 

"Hmm….get ready" Scott kissed her forehead. 

Jean smirked inside. 

After buying everything she need to surprise him they came back and slept. Though Scott wanted to do something more Jean pretend to be fast asleep. Sighing sadly he took her into his arms and drifted into sleep. 

But Scott is not even aware of what all she had bought so he didn't suspect anything when Iris called him all in sudden on the next day. 

After Scott went out Jean excitedly started her preparations.
