Few months later...

Life's perfect Phoebe is finally three and may I add thriving! Her speech is improving more and more each day communicating with her big brother, Teddy is still enjoying school surprising me everyday with the knowledge he holds, quite clever for a five year old and Christian well Christian he's working his ass off of course he really needs to take a break sometime.
We're still trying for baby number three to complete our family, tracking down when the right time is to try
we've already been talking about baby names Christian is so excited he's like a little boy at christmas when it comes down to this, we like to take the test with each other but we've had no luck so far my tests keep coming up negative but I think we miss the prime time to try, I think we did it this time round and it's almost time to test again.

11:00am Saturday morning
Christian's at work yet again so it's just me and the children all day and night he's away until early Sunday morning, I haven't been with the children over night on my own for quite a while I wonder how I'll keep them busy?
"Momma dolls play with me, Teddy says no" Phoebe asks
"Of course baby, what's Teddy doing?"
"iPad momma"
Whilst playing dolls with Phoebe Teddy walks in annoyed and looks at me
"Mommy my IPad has died I'm bored"
Phoebe lifts up a doll
"No Phoebe that's girls toys"
I take the iPad and put it on charge and looks at Teddy
"Firstly little man those are not girls toys anybody can play with dolls and secondly your sister just wants to play with her brother she loves you and you're her super hero" I say kissing his head.

12:07pm
"Who wants to go the store? We can get McDonald's"
"Me me mommy" Teddy and Phoebe say in sync
The store was a great idea to get out, there wasn't much to do in the house the children were getting restless and I do need to pick up a few things for the house
I don't like driving alone with the children without Christian but checking my back mirrors I realise I'm technically not alone, Taylor is always following behind, sometimes I question do I look like a child? I can take after myself after all I am a mother.
Arriving at the store I get the cart and put Teddy and Phoebe in as I don't want them to run around, grabbing the bits that we need for the house I get to the aisle thats all things pregnancy
pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, vitamins and more walking around slowly looking back to make sure no one is around I sneakily put two pregnancy tests in the cart
"Damn why am I sneaking around like a teenager I'm twenty-seven years old for goodness sake and already have two children".
I flush bright red in the face at the checkout as the man takes my card
"$44.75 ma'am"
Giving him my card he scans and hands back my card
"Have a good day"
Smiling I say "you to".

"Mommy McDonald's you promised me" Teddy says irritated
"I know I didn't forget I'm going now, shit it's 1:30pm no wonder you're both hungry"
"Shit" Phoebe repeats
"Teddy!" I snap
"Mommy it wasn't me" he declares whilst pointing at his sister
"Shit"
"No Phoebe we don't say that it's a bad word"
"Shit"
Placing my head in my hands
"Urgh well done Anastasia look what you've done, you've taught your daughter who's still learning to talk a bad word.
"Phoebe if you don't say that again momma will give you candy" there I am again I'm now bribing my child am I really that mother?
"Candy" she smiles with grabbing hands
"After lunch"

Arriving home I sit the two children at the table to eat their lunch and turn on the tv so that they'll actually sit there and eat, once they're settled and eating I start putting the groceries away and hiding the pregnancy tests in the bathroom ready for tomorrow
I feel nervous thinking about it I've been showing symptoms but I've always had different symptoms with each pregnancy so only time will tell tomorrow.

A short while later I'm sitting reading one of my favourite books by Hardy when my phone starts to ring and I see "my Husband❤️"
"Quick Teddy Phoebe look who it is"
They come running over and I answer the FaceTime call
"How is my beautiful wife and our beautiful babies"
"Mommy took us to the store and then McDonald's and then..." Teddy starts to tell Christian a story and I smile listening when suddenly
"Shit" Phoebe says abruptly
"What was that?" Christian questions
"Oh Urm what was what?" I say to try and distract him
"Shit shit shit" Phoebe shouts
"That I heard it again who said that?" Christian questions again
"Well I realised it was late and that word may have slipped out in front of the children and now our daughter keeps on repeating I bribed her with candy to stop and she won't listen" nervously I say
"Anastasia Grey"
"What?" I say I know I'm in trouble when I get my full name
"You know you're not allowed to use bad language around the children I'll have to punish you for this"
"You will Urm what?"
"You heard me.." Christian says with a smirk
"I'm flying back to Seattle shortly and will be there when you wake up, laters baby"
and with that he's gone.

Sorry there was quite a lot of speech in this I'm trying to involve all the characters
Sorry for the delayed post I'll try to add a chapter whenever I can I haven't forgot about this
Thanks for reading
Katie
