"No, we can't advertise that about the laptops," Amity said into her phone. "Because the advertisements have already been finalized and have already gone through countless safety tests and marketing tests. Not to mention that if we advertise something that doesn't exist, we will get sued for false advertising, and that would be a PR nightmare. It already has a release date." Sitting on the couch holding her 8-month-old, Lily, Amity continued to argue with the person on the phone. "Because you work for me, Taylor."

Taylor said something that made Amity sigh. "When did this come through?" She groaned, "Of course, this came through while I'm not at work. Okay," Lily decided that this was the perfect time to yank on her hair. "Ow ow ow! No, don't do that!" Taylor asked if it was something she did and apologized if she upset her.

"What? No, not you, Taylor. My 8-month-old just yanked on my hair. Here's what I want you to do. Send the files and information over to my assistant and tell her everything. I will look at it when I go into work. Thanks for telling me this, bye." Amity closed her phone and groaned.

She hated it when her co-workers contacted her about work when she wasn't in the office. Ever since Amity got the promotion to be the head of marketing, Luz made her promise not to bring work home with her. Not to answer any work calls texts, or emails, unless it was an absolute emergency. It wasn't easy for Amity at first, as she felt she needed to be productive. But over time, saw how much of a positive impact it made. Not only in their relationship, but on her mental state as well.

Lily's giggle brought her back to reality. She tickled her daughter, causing her to giggle. "You are just a little mischief-maker, aren't you? Yes, you are. Yes, you are." Lily started to babble. "Yes, mommy's job is important, but you will go onto to change the world."

More baby talk. "Really? You already have an idea funded?" Lily babbles once again as she put her hand in her mouth." "$100,000? That's a very impressive accomplishment." Yes, Amity has conversations with her baby.

As Amity talked to her baby, she smelled something that made me gag. After changing dozens of diapers, she thought she would get used to it. Oh, how wrong she was, as the smell always made her want to gag. "Wow, someone needs a diaper change."

Taking Lilly to her room, she plugged her nose so she wouldn't have to deal with the horrible smell. After changing her diaper, Amity took her back to the living room and set her on the floor so she could play with her toys. She dropped onto the couch and sighed, finally happy to get a chance to relax.

Amity felt like she hadn't had a chance to relax at all the past few days. With the release of a new laptop, a new computer chip, the conferences she's attended, and Lily's crying. Being the head of marketing and research was a demanding and challenging job, but she loved it. However, nothing made her happier than right now as she watched her baby play with a stuffed giraffe.

Amity's life may be hectic and stressful sometimes with her job and raising 2 kids, but she wouldn't trade it for anything. She has a great job, married to the greatest woman in the world, and has two beautiful kids. She felt like the luckiest person in the world. Hearing the door open, she turned her head and saw her eldest daughter walk into the house. As soon as she saw her though, she knew something was up. "Mom, mom, I'm home."

"Hi sweetie, how was school?"

Jasmine didn't look her mother in the eyes. She didn't even look in her direction as she just kept staring at the floor. "It was fine." She kicked off her shoes and set her bag down.

Yeah, something was definitely up. Jasmine was usually shy, but this was something different. "What's wrong, honey?" The urge not to pry in her life was getting stronger, but she somehow resisted.
