The Best Mistake

Chapter Ten

Sunday was spent just as we planned. We lounged around the house for the first part of the day, staying in bed with the girls, talking, sleeping, and reading. Once we rolled out of bed, we pulled out the girls kitty pool and decided it would be a nice day for them to swim. While the girls played in their kitty pool, I relaxed in a lounge chair reading over a few chapters for work and Royce was playing with Spot. The sun felt amazing against my skin and I didn't want this beautiful day to come to an end. I was happy in my little bubble with my little family. Spot jumped on my thighs suddenly and I laughed running my hands through his fur. Royce jogged over to me and sat down at the foot of my chair.

"I guess Spot was missing you as much as me." He winked.

I smiled as Spot laid his head on my lap.
"Or maybe he was just tired of you making him chase a ball." I said.

"That's probably true too." He laughed.

"Momma, momma!" Lily came running towards us.

"Momma water!" She yelled. I laughed.

"Yes baby girl water." I said.

She ran back towards the pool and jumped in with Peppa. "They're so happy and carefree." Royce said.

"Yea, like how every child supposed to be."

"How is it she can play in the pool with ease but hate to take baths?" He asked and I wondered the same thing.

"I have no idea, maybe it's the whole cleaning process she doesn't like." I shrugged.

"Well she's not the only one who has a problem with the whole cleaning process." He mumbled causing me to giggle slightly.

He watched them for a moment before turning to face me. "Pizza tonight right?"

"Of course." I replied.

"I'm going to set up the living room. A movie would be a nice way to end the evening." He said.

He got up to head inside and Spot followed him wagging his tail. I put my laptop away and got up from my chair to go over to the girls. They were so happy splashing and playing, they hadn't realized when I came to kneel next to the pool.

"Hi babies." I cooed.

I placed my hand into the warm water and flicked my fingers at them playfully. They giggled covering their little faces.
"Momma, water." Peppa said.

"Yes baby, water. Are you having fun with the water?"

"Fun momma!" Lily yelled.

I smiled and played with them for a while, because the more tired they are, the better it is for me. I have work first thing in the morning and the last thing I want is them waking up in the middle of the night.

"Babe the pizza is here!" Royce yelled from inside the house.

"Oooo, girls the pizza is here. Roy got pizza, do you want pizza?" I asked excitedly.

"Pizza!"

"Pizza momma!"

Their little green eyes lit up with excitement and I knew this would be a perfect excuse to get them out of the pool. I helped them out the pool and they dashed inside laughing, while I tried keeping up behind them. Royce stopped them in the kitchen with towels and we wrapped them up.

"Come on girls, let's get you in your pajamas and we can eat pizza." I said.

After I got the girls and I cleaned up and got into our pajamas, we headed downstairs. The living room was set up and waiting for our arrival. Royce spread blankets on the floor, brought out a bunch of pillows and already had a movie set to play.
