Billie's POV

"Mommy up" Elliot shook me awake

"Hmm" I groaned

"I'm hungry"

I reached for my clock and looked at the time that read 5:30am, 2 hours before I usually get up for work because I'll just get ready, grab a muffin, a fruit and coffee then walk out the door.

"Alright let's get you some breakfast you early bird" I pulled the blankets off me and grabbed our robes before going downstairs. I cut up some fruit and put it on a plate giving it to Elliot to snack on while I made some vegan banana pancakes a family recipe. I cut up Elliot's pancakes and poured her some orange juice in a cup. After we ate our food I washed our dishes then we went back upstairs. I changed my clothes, brushed my teeth etc. I got Elliot ready then we left and i drove over to the daycare, she does go to school but she's on break rn so either we find someone to watch her or we take her to daycare.

"Mommy will pick you up later okay?"

"but i wanna stay with you" she looked down at her feet and fiddled with her fingers

"Hey I'll pick you up next week on monday okay and we'll spend the whole week together"

"Promise" she held out her pinkie

"I promise" I attached our pinkies together but I noticed she she was starting to cry "hey it's okay come here" I pulled her into a hug, I don't blame her because we rarely see each other, I only have part custody of her and she was in the system because of me, I was a drug addict and an alcoholic, Lucille was also on drugs but she wasn't as fucked up as I was. It took so long to get her out of there but we finally did it even though me and my ex aren't on good terms right now, one fuck up I'll get my daughter token away from me again.

"I love you so much okay?"

"I love you too mommy"

We pulled away and I wiped her tears before kissing her head

"Monday I'll pick you up and I'll take you out anywhere you wanna go okay?"

She nodded and attached our foreheads together

"I have to go but be good for me okay?"

"Okay"

"Bye bye my love" I held up my hand

"Bye bye mommy" she put her little hand against mine

"See you soon" I kissed her nose then got up leaving while waving goodbye, I drove to work surprisingly making it on time getting to my first class early.

The next day

Audrey's POV

It's my 18th birthday finally, I'm so excited for today and mostly excited for what Billie has planned for me, I got ready for school and went downstairs for breakfast, I poured some fruity pebbles into the bowl then the milk. My mom came downstairs sprinting back and forth looking for something, she was in her flight attendant uniform do I knew she had to leave soon.

"Hey pumpkin have you seen my car keys?" My mom asked in her southern accent that I so happen to love so much

"Right here" I grabbed them out of the drawer

"You are a life saver oh I feel so bad for leaving you on your big day"

"It's okay mom we'll have fun tomorrow" I grabbed both of her hands

"I'm so proud of you and your father is too, he may not be here but he's still in our hearts and our minds and if he was here I'm sure he'll tell you how proud of the young woman you are and that he loves you so so much"
