our perfect paradise*
chapter twenty-one
Kimberly played Barbie�s with Alishia while Justin sat on the couch across from them watching tv.
Alishia was sitting in Kimberly�s lap. Bouncing on her leg and laughing, making lots of noise. Justin watched the two of them, Kimberly looked up seeing Justin looking at her.
�What?� She smiled shyly.
�Nothing.�
She looked back at Alishia.
�When are we going to have a baby?� Justin asked
�Huh? A baby?� She asked looking back up at him.
�Yeah.� He grinned.
�Do you�want a baby?�
�Only with you.� He said moving to sit next to her.
She was quiet for a few moments.
�Yeah I do want to have a baby with you�but when I�m- we�re both ready.�
�Are you ready?� He asked
�Dang Justin. It�s not like we could have one right now.� She said
�I know, but do you want to give it a try some day?�
�Of course.� She smiled. ��How many kids do you want anyway?�
�Um like only 4 to 6.� He said happy.
�Four to SIX? You�ll be the one popping them out.�
Justin chuckled. �Of course I�ll help you take care of them.�
�Yeah right.�
�I will.�
She shook her head laughing. Justin leaned over towards her. He whispered in her ear. �Why don�t we start now?� He said in a low raspy voice.
Her eyes widened. She looked at him.
�Justin!�
�What?� He grinned.
�Later�� She smiled. �Alishia is here.�
�She won�t even know, she can take a nap.�
�We�ll wake her up.�
�Yeah that�s �cause you�re the screamer.� He smiled.
She lifted an eyebrow. �But you like it.�
Justin licked his lips. �You know it.�
Kimberly smiled.
Later that night, JC and Danielle walked into the house. Justin and Kimberly ran to the door. Kimberly handed Alishia to Danielle.
�She was a good girl. We�re going home, see you tomorrow. Bye.� Kimberly said
�Bye.� Justin said as they walked out.
�Bye�� Danielle said. She looked at JC. He shrugged.
�Here I�ll put her to bed.� JC said taking Alishia from Danielle.
�Okay.� She kissed the top of Alishia�s head. �Goodnight baby girl.�
JC walked upstairs and into Alishia�s room to put her to bed. He turned the light off and walking into his room next door.
Danielle was sitting on the bed leaning against the headboard watching tv.
�Hey sweetheart.�
She looked up. �Hi.� She smiled. He walked over to the bed and got under the covers.
�I�m exausted.� JC said sighing.
�My poor baby.� Danielle said leaning over to him. She kissed his cheek. He smiled at her kissing her softly kissing her on the lips.
�Goodnight sweetheart.�
�Night, I love you.�
�I love you too.� He kissed her again before turning the light off and lying down.

A few months later�
Justin and Kimberly�s wedding day was about 3 months away. They decided to hire a wedding planner.
�Justin hurry up we have to meet the wedding planner at 2.� Kimberly said
�Okay, okay. I�m coming.� He ran down the stairs and they soon left.
�Where is this wedding planner?� Justin said getting impatient.
�Justin be patient.� Kimberly said
�I can�t.�
She set her hand on his leg.
�Please�� She looked up at him.
�Kimberly! Justin!� A guy came out of the hallyway.
�Hello, hello I�m Fronk.� The wedding planner said (Note: If you�ve ever seen Father of the Bride, he�s just like the Fronk the wedding planner. I couldn�t resist, he�s hilarious)
Justin looked over at Kimberly. Fronk sat in-between them.
�You�ve got to be kidding?� Justin said
�No, no, you two are one of the cutest couples I�ve seen.� Fronk said
�Thanks, I guess.� Justin said
�OH MY GOD!� Fronk squealed. Justin lightly jumped.
�What?�
�You are Justin Timberlake�OH MY GOD!...and you�re marrying him?� He asked Kimberly
�Yes.�
�Ooo�you�re lucky.� He hugged her. She laughed.
�Yeah I am.� She smiled at Justin.
�Ok so what do you two lover birds want at the wedding? Fronk will do it all!� He said.
Kimberly told him all of their ideas.
�How beautiful! It will be magnificent!� Fronk said hyperly.
�We want it to be perfect.� Kimberly said
�It will. It will be. Now where do you want the reception?�
�At our house. It�s on a beach side.� Justin said
�Ok, ok Fronk can work with that. We can put up tents and have it in the evening with lights. How about that?� He asked
�That�s a good idea.�
�Yes, yes. Very good. Where is the honeymoon?�
They looked at each other. �We haven�t decided on that yet.� Justin said
�Well decide quick. It will be here in no time. Any little ones?�
�In the future.� Kimberly smiled at Justin. He smiled back at her.
�Are there going to be any little ones in the wedding?�
�Our best friends� daughter. She�ll be the flower girl.� Justin said
�How old is she?�
�She�ll be one soon.�
�Ooo yes she�s a little little one.�
�And my little brother will be the ring bearer.�
�Good, good. We�ll let�s get to work. We all have a lot to do. Come this way.�
Justin and Kimberly followed him.
�He talks about himself in 3rd person.� Justin whispered to Kimberly.
�Shush�don�t be mean.�
�I�m not. I�m just making a point.�
*****
A week later.
Kimberly sat on her bed leaning against the headboard reading the Harry Potter book. Justin wasn�t home, he was out of town and he�d be back in 3 days.
Before he left, Justin told JC to check up on Kimberly once in a while.
JC knocked on the door, no answer. He had an extra key so he let himself in. The house was dark, he guessed Kimberly was upstairs in her room.
Kimberly�s head snapped up.
�What was that?� She asked herself.
She heard footsteps. She got out from under the covers and stood up. She had the huge book in her hand ready to beat the �attacker.� She walked out of her room and down the hallway slowly.
JC came to the top of the stairs and he saw Kimberly walking down the hall in her robe and slippers and something was in her hands.
Before he could say anything she attacked him.
�Get the fuck out of my house!� She screamed throwing the book at him, hitting JC in the head. He lost his balance and fell down the stairs. When he got to the bottom he laid there for a few moments then got the energy to stand up.
�Kimberly what the hell is your problem? Why�d you do that?� JC asked rubbing his head and holding his aching side.
�JC?�
�Yes its me. The one you hit with a book and pushed me down the stairs.�
�Oh I�m so sorry�� She began to walk down the stairs, �I thought you were someone breaking into the house.�
�No. Justin wanted me to come check on you.�
�Oh�I�m really sorry JC.�
�It�s alright...are you ok? Can I go home now?�
She chuckled. �Yeah. Tell Danielle I said hi and I�ll call her tomorrow.�
�Of course.�
�Shut up.� She lightly hit him in the arm.
�I�m getting out of here before you beat me to death.� He opened the door and walked out to his car.
�Goodnight JC�sorry!�
�Bye!� He said then driving off, going home.
