"where is Mommy Layla" Joan asks walking in. "Mommy having a bath" Layla smiles making Joan nod giving her a big cuddle. "i'll go tell mommy your here" she ran up the stairs to me. "what can I do for my angel" I asks looking at her "Nona here" she gave me a big kiss. "Oh, Mommy will be out soon" I take her hand making her nod.
She left the room and came back in climbing in the bath. "Hello?" I question smiling wrapping my arms around her. "mommy okay?" "mommy having a good day today" I stroke her cheek slightly.
At the end of the day. I was a mommy. I was the one who had to wake up feed her and make sure she was safe day in day out. I had to get out of bed in the mornings just to keep my girl safe. Thats the main thing right not that i was struggling alone at night when i had no cuddles or kisses or anything.
"Layla cheer mommy up. You only need me" she giggles making me smile "i do. Layla cuddles make everything better" "yay" she cheers.
Poor Layla had seen everything. She screamed the other night when my brother went to take her for the night. She just wanted me to be okay. I was in a bad way, If I am being honest probably wasn't fit to even look after her.
"can we go park today?" "I have to see what Nona wants first before I say yes but if she not want anything important sure we can go park" I smile standing up with her in my arms "lets get dry and warm should we" I wrap up in a towel taking us both to get dressed. "fluffy socks mommy" she bounces her leg "okay okay mommy get you some" I tickle her feet making her wiggle and hide them from me. She honestly helps take the pain away sometimes.
"got to give mommy your little feet back so I can put your socks on" I gasps "no tickle though" she pouts handing me them. "Mommy promises" I place them on giving her some kisses.
"hello you two gorgeous girls" "you know you could have come ho right?" "Yeah of course. Just heard you both having a giggle and didn't mind staying down here."
"Came to see if you needed anything?" "maybe something later but right now i am okay and this girly wants to park"
"oh that would be fun for you both"

"Mommy push me" Layla ran over to the swing making me follow ready to push her on the big girl swing because she hated the baby swing now. As she was a big girl.
"Wee" Layla beams making me smile happy girl meant everything to me.
Layla jumped off the swing in mid air landing on the floor "don't give mommy a heart attack like that" "sorry" she giggles running to the slide.
I look up and there was a happy couple walking towards us. I pout. I wanted that. I wish Dalton was here playing with her making us one happy family. But he was't I had no idea where he was.
