Nia's pregnancy is certainly no small matter for Jimmy, and it's the sa for Kevin. Even though it's just been confird, Kevin still insists that Nia takes a few days off. Coincidentally, Jimmy is also quite free these days, so he simply shows his face at the office and skips work to go ho.
Shopping for ingredients and cooking has beco quite the tradition for Jimmy. He used to do it occasionally just to remix things up, but now with Nia's pregnancy, in those first few most exciting days, Jimmy gave up on other activities entirely to stay ho with Nia, even going to see Roland less often.
Of course, Roland also knows about Nia's pregnancy. After visiting to offer his congratulations, he paused Nia's training, leaving it to be discussed at a later ti.
Naturally, Nia can't stay ho all day. Jimmy accompanied her twice to look at the house in Brooklyn and took a stroll around the area.
The house is indeed quite dilapidated, but Jimmy has already ntioned to Nia that he would hire a design firm and construction company for renovation, so there's nothing to object to. Nia's favorite part is the park next door, because the house is right next to the park; you can enter the park directly from the side. Strictly speaking, it could be said that the park serves as the garden for the house.
The church is nearby, and the surrounding residential area doesn't look too bad—at least it's not an unkempt and chaotic area. As for shopping for daily necessities and the safety issues in the area, those can be investigated later. At least based on Nia's on-site observations, building a small building here and moving in should definitely be comfortable.
Jimmy was sowhat relieved, as long as Nia had no objections to this matter, many things could be handled normally. If she didn't agree, they couldn't let a door cause family discord, right? Jimmy would definitely choose to just live his own life happily, leaving other things to fate.
Ti does not stop. Soon, the design company ca out with their plan. To protect the basent, Jimmy requested that the designer use the original foundation. Of course, reinforcent of the original foundation is certainly necessary; after all, this isn't decades ago. To ensure the safety of the two-story small building above, the original foundation definitely needs steel-reinforced concrete poured around it to strengthen it.
The small building is not small, about a hundred square ters, roughly the sa size as Jimmy's current apartnt. But the house to be built is two stories, so the usable area is larger. The first floor consists of the living room, kitchen, bathroom, a storage room, and also a small activity room. The second floor includes the main and guest bedrooms and a separate nursery. Besides the necessary rooms, there's also a walk-in closet and storage room. The biggest benefit brought by ample space is that none of the rooms will be cramped, making living more comfortable.
Jimmy and Nia have visited the small building multiple tis, and they've also communicated with the people at the church. Nia's pregnancy news got out this way. So, without any preparation on Jimmy's part, the Priest White who officiated their marriage left St. Andrew's Church and ca to Manhattan, inviting Jimmy and Nia to et.
Priest White is an important person to them. After all, allowing Jimmy and Nia to use St. Andrew's Church for their wedding brought a lot of hidden benefits to their family. So when Priest White called, they didn't even think of refusing and happily visited Father Rodney's church.
As Jimmy expected, even though Nia's pregnancy is not yet showing, the church's interest in the future child is very high. After briefly chatting with them, Priest White arranged a blessing ceremony for Nia and her future child. To avoid interference, he even temporarily cleared the chapel of unrelated people during the ceremony. Jimmy, watching from the side, thought their actions were a bit over the top.
After the ceremony, Priest White specifically reminded Jimmy to take good care of Nia. Sigh, these church folks are really grounded in reality. They used to pay attention to Jimmy; now that Nia is pregnant, Jimmy seems to be yesterday's news. Facing an elder like Priest White, Jimmy could only nod helplessly, increasingly feeling that his own status was low.
Roland originally hoped to influence Jimmy through Nia, but now with Nia's pregnancy, his plans have been thrown into chaos. Asking Jimmy to temporarily abandon his pregnant wife and go to the Dark Tower World with him seems impossible just thinking about it. Helplessly, he could only choose to go back alone for a while and co back later, maybe also find the portal he used before to establish a connection between the two sides.
He understood what Jimmy was worried about, but if the portal between the two sides could be ensured to be unobstructed, allowing him to return at any ti, it should not be too unacceptable for Jimmy. After all, it could be considered as a little getaway, to see different sights, which might yield so small gains.
Roland's plan is good, but everything has to wait until that house is completed.
The holess people in the house have been driven out. Of course, Jimmy didn't go to extres. For others, it's settled, but he still needed to look after the two kids that Priest Koch knew. Jimmy gave them so money to improve their als temporarily and asked soone to find a cheap single room nearby for them to stay in temporarily. As for the subsequent arrangents, Priest Koch will handle that, and Jimmy doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
