Falling for Wanda Maximoff Book 2

I don't think I can do this

Its It has been over a month since Wanda left, and although I have missed her terribly, I have decided not to respond to her message that she sent saying she loves and miss us. With four kids to care for, life has become overwhelming. Although it was manageable at first, the stress has been building, and it feels like I'm constantly on the brink of breaking down. As I lay in bed with Aylena, who has become my new cuddle buddy, I find some comfort in her presence and take deep breaths, trying to find the strength to keep going.

I smiled at Aylena enjoying the silence when suddenly it was disturbed by shouting and I knew instantly who the voices belonged to. I got out of bed and went to Aiden's room, "Why are you guys arguing?" I asked both of them. "Because he stole my shirt" Aiden said grabbing the shirt from Pietro. "No its mine" Pietro said taking it back and speeding out the room to his own and Aiden teleported in there and I groaned and walked over there.

"Give me the shirt!" I said and they both stopped fighting and looked at me. "Don't let me repeat myself" I said and Aiden put the shirt in my hand. "Good now go get ready for school" I instructed. As I walked out of the kids' room, I realized that Aylena was crying. I quickly ran back to the room, assuming she had fallen off the bed, but thankfully, she was fine. I realized that she was probably teething, so I picked her up and brought her downstairs, where I took out a teething toy from the fridge and gave it to her. She immediately calmed down and settled in my arms, looking content with the toy.

Aylena is in the process of teething, causing her gums to be sensitive and sore, resulting in more crying. After making some porridge, I left it to cool while I prepared the kids for school. Aurora was still asleep, so I gently woke her. "Aurora wake up you have school" I said gently shaking her. "I don't want to go to school" she said and I sighed. "Come on Aurora you do this everyday" I said and she made a face to start crying. "Don't you dare" I warned her and she got up and I got her ready.

"No mommy" I sighed and lifted her on my lap. "It has to comb out" I said and started fixing her hair despite her crying, after that I went downstairs to see the kids eating. I walked downstairs to Aylena's  crying. I realized that she had dropped her teething toy, so I decided to give her a bottle instead. After I prepared it, I placed her in a chair and watched her drink, hoping that would soothe her discomfort. However, Aurora had not yet come downstairs, so I went upstairs to find her. She was sitting on the bed and it took some convincing to get her to come down and eat. Once Aylena was done with her bottle, we all got in the car for school drop-off. During the ride, I had to look for Aylena's teething ring, which had fallen off during the morning rush.

We drove to their school and I took up Aylena and we got out and Aurora made up her face. "Aurora I'm not in the mood for it right now" I warned her and I brought them to their class and told them goodbye and then walked back to the car.  Aylena had started to cry yet once again and I gave her a pacifier which did not help so I had to drive home with her crying the whole way. 

Upon arrival, I took Aylena out of the car seat and tried the pacifier again, which she accepted. Since her diaper was clean, I chose to just rock her until she fell asleep. It worked, and she soon drifted off, so I gently placed her on the bed. I took the opportunity to clean the house, starting with the dishes and then tidying up the mess in the kids' room.

After giving myself a much-needed break by taking a bath, I collapsed on the bed, exhausted beyond measure. As I closed my eyes, my phone began to ring. My eyes flew open as I checked the caller ID, realizing it was the school. I promptly picked up, hoping nothing serious had happened to the kids. "Hello?" The principal said ,"Uh pleasant good morning" I answered back. "Yes good morning which one of the moms am I speaking to?" she asked. "Y/N" I answered and she then proceeded to inform me that Aiden had gotten in a fight with a kid at his school and then teleported the kid to the flag pole letting him hang there and I needed to pick him up.
