Seconds later he answered and I walked in. I looked towards the living room and saw Lexie playing on the ground with her toys. “Hiiii baaaaby” I said to her while reaching my arms out to her to pick her up. She leaned towards me and I picked her up and gave her a BIG kiss on the check. “Ready to go home with mommy” I said in a baby voice. She squeaked out in joy and I walked her over to the coat closet pulled out her coat. I wrapped it around her and walked to the front door. I gave a small smile to the baby daddy, walked out the door and put Lexie in her carseat and jumped in.

I drove off and when we got home I saw grandma there. “Oh yay” I thought to myself. I took Lexie in her carseat and walked to the front porch. I took a deep breath in and walked through the door. I looked in and there she was sitting on my couch. “Hello Miss. Hickleson ” I said when I closed the front door. She looked at me didn’t say anything. “Im just here to see the baby” she said in a plain voice.

“Excuse me” I said kinda rude. “I don’t want anything to do with you” she said while I was putting the sleep baby down on the floor in her carseat. “Get out” I said in a yelling/whisper tone. “No. I want to see my new born baby niece” she relied in a more rude tone. “I don’t care. I want you out of my house” I said but this time I walked over to the door and opened it so she could leave. “I don’t care that you don’t care.

I am here to see my niece weather you like it or not” she said still not moving an inch. “I don’t have to take anymore shit from you. I am not married to your awful son” I said through my teeth. I was trying so hard not to grab her by her ear and throw her out. “I will leave in ten minutes. “GO!!!!” I hollered at her and at that point I didn’t care if the baby was asleep. Just jumps in shock and stood up.

“LEAVE!” I said loudly. She stared at me but didn’t say anything and thats when Lexie started to cry. She walked over to Lexie and picked her up. I shut the door and ran over to them. “Put her down and leave” I said while reaching out the take Lexie from her. “It took me a hour and half to drive here so I can her” she said while rocking Lexie to sooth her. “Maybe next time you call and we can make plans.

Not come home and see you sitting on my couch, in MY house” I said but this time taking Lexie from here. “Now leave” I said while walking over to the door and reopen it so she can leave. She didn’t say anything after that. When she was gone, I sat Lexie in her carseat and took her to the kitchen. I made a bottle for her and gladly excepted it. I made myself some dinner and afterwards I took Lexie (who was asleep) to the living room so I can watch some T.V before I go to bed. I flipped through a few channels but nothing looked good so I took Lexie into my room and laid her down on the bed and walked out of the room. I hoped in the shower.

I stood there for a few minutes letting the hot water run down aching back. After I washed my hair and body I got out of the shower and wrapped my hair and body in a towel. I brushed my teeth and got my night cloths on. I headed to my room and opened the door. I walked over t Lexie and turned on the lamp. I looked over at Lexie and there she was wide awake staring at me. “Awe. How didn’t cry” I said to her while picking her up to go and make her another bottle.

After I made the bottle and sat there for thirty minutes she finally doze off. I laid her down and laid next to her. I kissed her on the forehead before laying my head on the pillow. Within seconds I was passed out and I didn’t wake early enough to get ready to pick up my other daughter, who is four now, from my friend’s house, she was spending the night with her daughter. I throw on my cloths and a little bit of make up. I changed Lexie’s diaper while she was still sleeping. I packed her diaper bag and made sure I had my wallet in my purse. When I was done I picked Lexie and sat her down slowly into her carseat.
I put her in the car and drove to Taco Bell and got something to eat on the way. I drove up to my friends house (Zoe) and knocked on the door.

“Hey girl. She’s right over here” she greeted me while pointing over to the living room. “How was she?” I asked. “She had a ruff night but I think she’s feeling a little better today” she said. “What?
What do you mean she had a ruff night?” I asked kinda concern. “I think she’s getting sick” she told me. “Awe poor baby” I said while walking over to Kylee and Ashley playing with there toys and watching Frozen on the big fat screen T.V. I sat on the couch and Zoe did the same. “Hey love” I said. “Sorry for being late. I didn’t get up till like ten times ago” I told Zoe.

“Oh it’s okay. I didn’t wake up on time either. Both of them slept till ten and I didn’t wake up till they woke me up. “Wow. She doesn’t ever sleep in” I commented. She nodded her head in responds. “So did they eat a large breakfast or eat lunch yet?” I asked.
“They didn’t eat lunch” she reassured me. “Did the eat a large breakfast?” I asked once again. “What would you call a BIG breakfast?” She asked back. “What did they eat this morning?” I asked while staring at her. “I made eggs, pancakes, toast with orange juice” she replied while looking away.

“Is that all she ate this morning?” I asked because I knew something was up because she looked away. “No…” she answered while walking over to her daughter and started to play horses with her. “Come back here. We are still walking” I told her. “Oh” she said trying to act innocent. She slowly walked back to the couch and sat down. “She may have ate more” she announced.

“Mmmmhmmm” I said which told her to continued. “A hour after she ate all that she had pop corn while she was watching Dora….” she said while looking in the other direction. “And” I asked. “And a pop tart…….and more eggs and another pancakes…..” she admitted while she still looked at the T.V. “What else is there” I asked because she still wasn’t looking at me. “She also might have ate cereal and some watermelon” she confessed and I looked over at Kylee. “Oh my lord. You ate that much” I questioned her.

“Yeah” she answered with a big smile. “Where do you put it all?” I asked sarcastically. She pointed at her tummy and Zoe and I both laughed. “Ready to go?” I asked while picking up Lexie’s carseat and reaching out to hold Kylee’s hand. “Yes mommy” she answered while she got up and reached for my hand. “Bye Zoe.

See you tomorrow then we take everyone to the park. “Wait before you go, I have a question” she said while standing up from the couch. “Yes?” I asked. “Did your babies ever sleep at night when they were new borns?” She asked kinda concerned. “Not always. Why?” I questioned.

“Well Lola doesn’t sleep at night. I don’t know what to do” she confessed to me. “Lexie used to not sleep all night but I used this brand on diapers and they help her sleep all night. She doesn’t even wake up once at night” I reassured her. “Really?” She asked with awe in her eyes. “Yes” I answered. “What brand” she questioned. I told her the brand and she searched it up. “Ohhhh. It has five stars and the comments are good. Well…..most of them” she told me after ten minutes of looking at it. I already sat Lexie back down and I was sitting on the couch again and Kylee was playing with Ashley.

“What do you mean most of them?” I questioned her. “Well, I may have looked through like five hundred and forty-seven messages and there was like twenty-eight bad comments about it” she told me and I knew she was concerned. “Look Zoe. Those bad comments where probably from babies that was allergic of the diapers” I reassured her. “Okay. I will buy them when I go to Walmart today” she announced. “Okay sounds good” I tell her while getting up off the couch and tell Kylee that it was time to go.

“See ya tomorrow” I reminded her. “See ya tomorrow” she repeated. I put Lexie behind the passengers seat Kylee buckled herself in but of course I still went on the other side to make sure that it was buckled in all the way. After that I hoped in the drivers eat and drove off. When I got to the house I was my baby daddies car. “What the fuck is he doing here” I said out loud to myself. “Mommy you said a bad work” Kylee remind. “Mommies sorry” I told her.

I pulled into my drive way, right behind my baby daddy. “ I got out and opened Kylee’s door. I put child lock on both of the doors in the back because I would rather be safe then sorry. While she unbuckled, I went to the other side and got Lexie out. I waked to the front door and opened it. “Hello Nathan” I said getting the baby daddy. “Hello Barb” he said while standing to give Kylee a hug. I shut the door and turn around to see Kylee run up to Nathan and give him a big hug.

“What do you want” I asked while sitting Lexie’s carseat down and lifting her out of it. “I came here to talk to you about the way you talked to my mother” she told me. “I am not sorry for what I did to say. I am tired of her thinking she can say and do whatever she thinks she can” I told him while sitting in the chair that sat across from him. “I think you were a little mean to her” she commented. “Ashley honey, please go to your room” I told her. “But why?” She questioned me.

“Because I said so” I told her. “Because why?” she asked again but this time looking at me. “Because I am your mother and what I says go” I told her while I was pointing towards the hall that led to her room. She crossed her arms and stomped to her room. “Your mother said some rude things this morning” I explained to Nathan when I heard Ashley’s door slam close. “What did she say” he questioned, trying to get more information out of me. “Well for starters she wouldn’t leave my house until she made me make her leave” I told him.

“And how did you make her leave?” she questioned me but this time it seemed more serous. “I told her at first but she wouldn’t so I screamed
