You Cheated, I Moved On

Chapter 4- Day at the Park

Cassidy

As I walk back to the playground area, I see my two baby girls playing on the swings. Violet is laying in her stomach doing the "superman" on the seat. Lilly is on the swing next to her sister just sitting on her bum. Violet smiles at her sister, and takes her hand. They love each other so much. It just makes me feel warm inside knowing that they have a best friend.

A smile is plastered on my face as I approach the bench near the swings. "Hey Danielle." Dani is changing Carson's diaper while she talks to my baby Logan. "Hi." She mumbles. Her eyebrows are furrowed, and she looks so concentrated as she pulls up the diaper. I hold back a laugh at the site. Why is she so serious? She has been acting strange since we were at the house...

"Danielle is everything alright?" I place a hand on her shoulder, and she kind of shrugs it off. Weird.. Something is definitely wrong. "Tell me what's wrong... Is Liam okay?" I start to worry a little bit because even though Liam is Harry's best best friend I still care about him. All of the boys for that matter. They are an amazing group of boys, Lou and Liam especially. They have kept Logan a secret from Harry and I couldn't be more thankful. I know my kids should know about their father but Harry is the one who left. He knows about his daughters and he has never tried to see them. Just because Logan is here, I don't think it would make a difference.

"Everything is fine. But Carson is getting fussy so I think we should eat, and start to head back to your place." Danielle interrupts my heavy thinking and I'm glad. I get a little carried away when I think about Harry... "Okay, sounds good. By the looks of it the twins are getting sleepy too." I call over my daughters and they come running over hand in hand. They are just to cute. I love them so much...

"Who wants turkey sandwiches!" I clap my hands together and my babies, and Carson screech. I cover my ears, and a few people walking by, glare. "I'm guessing you three do." I take out two Turkey sandwiches, and give my daughters each a half of one., and I hand Carson a half. "Thanks Mum!" Violet smiles showing her dimples. She looks so much like Harry...

Danielle's phone goes off and she holds up a finger and walks away. As she answers the call I can tell she's upset. When we get back to the house I'm going to have to talk to her about it... I absolutely hate seeing my best friend so upset. Especially when I don't know what's wrong.

"I tired!" Lilly yells. Here we go... Now she is going to start acting up. "I go home, now!" Her high pitched scream sends chills down my spine. It's definitely a scream that could kill... "Now, now, now!" Once again, I get the chills. Violet just looks at her sister while chewing her sandwich. She is used to her sister's tantrums, and this is a normal everyday thing. Logan on the other hand always gets fussy when Lilly gets like this. So I usually have to deal with two screaming children.

"Okay Lilly. Let's finish our lunch, yeah?" She opens her mouth to object but closes it. Thank god... I let out a deep breath. For a minute I enjoy the peace and quiet. The only sound being the chirping of the birds, and children laughing. I close my eyes and lean back in the grass, the spring air hitting my face. It covers me like a blanket. As quickly as it comes... It ends.

Logan starts to cry, and so does Carson. I let out a heavy sigh, and lean over to grab Logan out of his seat. When he gets into my embrace he quiets down a little, but Carson just gets louder. Danielle comes rushing over, with her cell phone in between her cheek and her shoulder. She bends over and picks her son up, setting him on her hip. She looks so frustrated, trying to settle her baby down while talking on her phone.

"Let's get ready to go." My kids jump up, and wipe there hands on there pants. I dressed them in matching blue jeans with a Thing 1, and Thing 2 jacket. Lilly has two pigtails, while Violet just has her hair down in her natural curls. I have to say they do look adorable.

After I am finished putting Logan in his stroller they both look at me and smile, dimples visible. "Num num!" They both demand. I have to start weaning them off of there binki's. But I don't feel like fighting with them, so I just hand them two purple ones. They pop them in there mouths, and wait patiently on the bench while I finish up.

Danielle comes over with Carson sleeping in her arms. "Here lemme grab him." She smiles weakly, and I take the passed out boy out of her arms. I hold him with one arm and carry him over to his stroller. After I buckle him in, I cover him with a blanket that Dani brought. I smile at how cute my little nephew looks. His head is tilted to the left and his arms are at his sides. "Your son is the cutest thing Danielle." He looks exactly like Liam, but with Danielle's eyes.

"Isn't he?" She looks down at her son, and her face is glowing. She is such an amazing mom. She loves her child so much... But you can tell that raising Carson by herself hurts her. She misses Liam so much. He is gone most of the year, and when he is home it is not for long. I mean atleast she has someone. Someone to support her financially. Someone to willingly be the father of her child. I wish I had that.

"Hey, let's just get back to my place. We can put the kids down for a nap and then watch a movie. Yeah?" I suggest to my best friend. I need to get all of this daddy crap off of my mind. It would be amazing to just sit in my bed and watch a film with Danielle.

"That sounds fantastic. Let's get going before your kids pass out." We both laugh a little and we start to head back to my house.
