    "Yes we're ready just drive please I can't be late," Jenny told Lola who just laughed as she nodded. "Alright chill it. We'll be there on time. I'll guarantee that," Lola told Jenny with a smirk making Jenny look at her friend as she knew that look.

"And no speeding Lola," Jenny told the young mom, making the older girl groan as Jenny was taking all the fun of driving away. "But that's the fun part," Lola told Jenny who just pointed to the two sleeping kids in their car seats.

"You're going to speed with your babies in the car?" Jenny asked Lola who groaned again as she knew Jenny was right. "Alright you win no speeding but only because I can't afford another ticket," Lola told Jenny who rolled her eyes.

"Thank you now just drive please," Jenny told Lola as she just wanted to get this test over with. She barely got any sleep last night with Lola and Lola's kids there and she was terrified of failing.

"Hey Jen, you sure you're okay?" Lola asked her friend as she reached the school and Jenny looked like she was about to throw up just from the sight of the school.

Jenny just nodded as she tried to calm down. "Yeah I'm fine, just really nervous about this test today. My parents are going to literally kill me if I fail," Jenny told Lola who looked at her friend in concern as it was obvious the younger girl wasn't kidding around.

"Jenny, you'll do amazing. I mean you're like crazy smart. Don't be nervous alright. You can do this," Lola told her younger friend in her encouraging voice as she pulled her close to her.

Jenny just nodded as she tried to control her breathing. "Yeah you're right. Thanks Lola," Jenny told Lola as she grabbed her bag and left to go into the school.

Lola just sighed as she watched her younger friend walk into the school. There was something seriously concerning going on with her friend and she could tell, but she didn't want to be pushy.

"Mommy?" Carlos cried out causing Lola to snap out of her thoughts. "Yeah pup what's wrong?" Lola asked her son. "Is Auntie Jenny okay?" Carlos asked his mommy who just closed her eyes for a second before calming down and driving again.

"Yeah pup she's fine. She's just scared because she has a test today and that can be scary sometimes," Lola told the four year old who nodded. "Mommy what's a test," Carlos asked a few seconds later, making Lola laugh.

"Something you don't have to worry about for a few more years, so what should we do? We have about 7-8 hours to kill," Lola told the kids.

"Mommy, Mal has daycare and I have preschool," the four year old told Lola who rolled her eyes at that. Lola had no intentions on using either of those. "Yeah we're not doing that today. What else should we do?" Lola told her son who smiled as he looked at her.

"Can we go to the children's museum! Please mommy!" Carlos cried out as he remembered that his friends had been there before and it always sounded so much fun.

"Hmm that sounds kinda expensive but I guess we could fit that in," Lola told her son, making him get excited. "Yay! This is the bestest day ever!" Carlos squealed out excitedly making Lola laugh as she loved hearing her baby so happy.

Carlos stopped his excitement though as he looked over at his baby sister who had just woken up and started crying.

Carlos loved his baby sister but sometimes he missed it when it was just him and Lola back when he still thought she was his sister and not his mommy.

"Pup, you okay?" Lola asked the small boy as she didn't understand what caused his shift in mood. "Mommy does Mal have to go with us?" Carlos asked Lola who shrugged. "Yeah I mean where else would she go?" Lola told her son who just sighed as he nodded.

"Otay," Carlos sadly told Lola who just pulled the car over to a parking lot as she unbuckled Carlos and placed him in her lap.

"Carlos, what's wrong? I thought you were excited to go to the Children's Museum," Lola asked the small boy in her gentle voice, causing Carlos to just start crying as he hugged onto her.

     "Mommy I don't want Mal to go with us," Carlos told Lola as he kept crying

"Mommy I don't want Mal to go with us," Carlos told Lola as he kept crying. Lola froze as she just pulled Carlos closer and ran her fingers through his hair. She honestly didn't really know what to do in a situation like this but she knew she had to try.

"Okay so um why don't you want Mal to come with us?" Lola asked Carlos as she tried her best to sound like she knew what she was doing despite having no clue how to deal with this.

"Cause I wanna go just me and you," the young four year old told the young mother who smiled as she finally understood what was going on. "Oh I get it. You miss when it was just me and you," Lola told the small boy who just slowly nodded as he started to calm down.

"Aw I know I miss those days too but I also love having Mal with us. How about this we find someone to watch Mal for us and we can go do something fun just the two of us. We're gonna save the children's museum for Mal though. And we'll pick a day every week that will just be for the two of us. How does that sound?" Lola told Carlos, causing him to stop crying as he immediately got excited again.

"Really! Yay! I love you mommy," Carlos exclaimed excitedly as he hugged onto Lola again making Lola laugh again as she hugged him back then picked him up. "Yeah we can call it our special day and it will just be for you and me. And aw I love you too pup. Alright now we just have some slight problems starting with what should we do just the two of us and what do we do about Mal," Lola asked Carlos as she placed him back into his carseat and buckled him back up.

"Oo can we go to the amusement park! Mal is too little for that anyway cause she's just a baby and I wanna go! Pwease mommy!" Carlos begged Lola who just smiled as she pretended to look conflicted.

"Hmm I don't know. I mean I guess if you really wanted to go," Lola playfully told the young boy who just nodded his head. "Yeah I do pwease mommy!" Carlos cried out making Lola laugh as she couldn't help it.

"Yeah of course. I think that would actually be a perfect idea. Okay now we just have one more slight issue," Lola told the preschooler who started bouncing around in his carseat excitedly, but stopped as he looked at her.

"What is it mommy?" Carlos asked Lola who just pointed to the sleeping baby in the car seat. "What do we do about Mal?" Lola asked her son.
