Healing a broken heart

Birthday plans and day spas

Chapter 119

Seven weeks later...

NORPOV

Man seven weeks since Walker Stalker Ella and I are doing great we had a couple of group therapy sessions to discuss how we're feeling and thinking I was rather shocked to hear how Ella feels about being a mom and being dissatisfied with where life is for her. I know she's unhappy about not working and with Misty here with us she has no focus or that's how she feels. I have a plan when we move into our new home in Montauk, we found a nice eight-bedroom house near the water with a patio and lots of room and what Ella doesn't know is I got her something amazing for Christmas I think it'll change her life and hopefully make her happy.

We're back in Los Angeles this time for a Christmas visit with the rest of the family, then on to Austin to see mom. The Sean's and I decided we were going to give the girls a break and treat them to a day at a day spa and we'd look after the kids. Oh, that should be fun eight kids plus one teenager, eleven kids seeming none of us have grown up.

"So guys what are we going to do? It's like kid Central here Flanery?"

"Pretty much whatever we want. Come on Porter, Charlie let's go to the playroom."

I'm carrying the twins as they aren't as quick as Stella is with her walking she's running everywhere.

"Okay, kids run wild in here mommy won't mind just don't beat each other up."

"You know Flanery you shouldn't be encouraging your kids to beat people up?"

"Jealous because Charlie could beat your ass, Sean?"

"Well, I'm a lover, not a fighter you know that Flanery."

"Charlie do not hit your brother on the head. Come on dude we talked about this. Use something soft now look. What did you do Porter come to dad."

"Daddy Ming play. Daddy Ming play." Said Stella.

"What do you want to play babe?"

"Fairy."

"Fairy? I don't know if aunt Lauren has a fairy outfit here but let's look she's got everything else." I'm looking through this box of dress-up clothes and find what looks like a fairy's costume I must get Ella to do this for the kids when we move into the new place. A room just for the kids so they can play to their heart's content. "Okay, what about this Stell? Is this good?"

"Stella, can I be a cowboy there's a cowboy costume here?"

"Yes, Ming."

"Hey, Sean are you sure Lauren hasn't just moved your guy's dress-up stuff here I could see you dressed as a cowboy."

"Yes, daddy fairy."

"Yes, baby."

I change her into the outfit she looks cute as a purple fairy. I take some photos to show Ella.

"Daddy fairy. Please."

"I don't think there are fairy wings that would fit me." I watched Stella start to take hers off.

"No baby you keep them daddy has an idea I just need some paper and pens and I can make some."

"Yay daddy." Shit, how do I make fairy wings? I grabbed some paper and traced what Stella's wings looked like. I cut them out and colored them in. "Flanery little help tape these wings to my shirt will you."

"Always knew you were a fairy."

"Shut up Flanery."

"Yay fairy daddy." And then Stella's dancing around, she stops and sees Emma and picks her up and carries her to me. "Emma."
