Two months later
It was January, and Harry was leaving for his six months tour, so I was going to be home alone with two, two year olds and a four month old. I am freaking out; I've always had Harry right by my side.
I woke up early to make breakfast for my boyfriend and kids, starting to heat up a bottle for Callie. I didn't have time to breastfeed anymore.
When I was done making some eggs, I heard little footsteps coming down the stairs. I quickly went to stop one of my toddlers. Payton was slowly climbing down the steps, very carefully. I decided to let her concentrate, and when she got to the bottom I kissed her cheek.
"Hey baby. Good job, but only do that when you have me or Daddy okay? Is your brother awake?" He asked and she nodded, rubbing her eyes with her tiny hands.
"Okay. Go into the kitchen and wait for Mummy, I'm going to go get Cody."
Once I got Cody awake, I walked him down the stairs, sitting him in his high chair by Payton and Callie. The big kids had some juice with their eggs and I fed Callie half of her bottle and some puréed broccoli.
When the kids were done eating, I set the twins in front of the couch with some Elmo, and put Callie in her baby bouncer. Thirty minutes later, Harry walked in, a suitcase in his hand.
"I've gotta be there at noon," he said, looking at his watch. "So, I've got about forty minutes. Let's have some family time?"
"Yes! Dada!"
We sat on the couch, Payton on my lap, Cody in the middle, and Callie was on Harry's lap. We watched Cinderella, and the twins seemed to love it, while Callie got squirmy and whiny in the middle.
"Okay, let's get ready, we've got to leave in five."
I got the twins dressed, Payton had a dress with little dragonfly's on it and some black leggings, and Cody had a blue shirt with grey overalls that had dragonfly's on them. Then I put Callie in a black onesie with some knee high beige socks, and a cute flowery headband.
I gave them of Harry and went upstairs to change. I dressed myself in a pink oversized sweater, and some black leggings, and some Ugg boots.
We all got into the car and I drove Harry to the airport. We got the twins into a twin stroller, and I took Callie's car seat out and held her, while Harry took the twins.
I kissed Harry goodbye, as he ran off to his gate, because he was running a little late. I had a little trouble walking back tp the car. I had a car seat in one hand, a stroller in the other and I was trying not to cry. I just sent my boyfriend off for months.
