You ARE My World

TT! Look at my beads!

Today was the day that the kids were coming home, and I missed them terribly. I wheeled Tristen out to the car, and I helped him into the car. I put his chair into the trunk of the car, and we drove to the air port to get the kids. I'm sure Steven needed a break, and I really missed them. I couldn't wait to see Addison's tan face, and her corn-row braided hair. I got to the airport and helped him into the chair. I wheeled him in, and we went to the terminal where they said they would be coming from. When I saw Addison come out of the terminal, I smiled, and her eyes got big. She ran as fast as her little legs would take her, and I fell to my knees so I could hug her. She ran so fast into my arms that I fell backwards a little bit and had to regain my balance. "Mommy!!!!" She screamed in my ear. I smiled. "Hi Beetle. Did you have fun?" I asked squeezing her tight. She squealed. "I met Minnie and Mickey Mouse!" She said giggling. I made her famous 'O' face, and I gasped. "Did you get a picture?" I asked. She nodded. "And Nana is gonna print it out for me." She explained. I smiled. "Alright. Say hi to Tt." I said pointing to Tristen. She cowarded into my arms. "What's wrong Addie?" Tristen asked. I pointed to my leg in reference to his, and my forehead with the huge healing gash. He nodded. "Hey, sweetie. It's Uncle Tt. I hurt my leg, and I got a boo-boo. But I am alright. I promise. You want too see my bandaid? He asked. She walked over to him, and she nodded. He lifted up his shirt and showed him his Mickey Mouse bandaid. I laughed. I didn't know he ahd that on. "Cool!" She said pointing to it. "Look Uncle Tt! I got beads!" She said flipping her hair. We all laughed. I hugged Steven's parents and I took Grayson from Steven. "Hi baby!" I said making him smiled. "Oh mommy missed you so much!' I said kissing his chubby cheeks. "I'll help you bring stuff to the car." Steven said. "I brought the SUV, I have to put his chair in the back." I explained. Steven nodded. "What happened man?" Steven asked Tristen. "Car accident about a week ago. I'll be alright." He said cold. I know that Tristen was angry with Steven for hurting me. Steven looked at me and I looked apologetic. When we got to the car, he helped me load everything in, while I helped Tristen in. "Thank ya suga." He said kissing me . I blushed. "Anytime love-bug." I replied. I helped Addison in the car and I buckled her. "I missed you Addie Bug." I said kissing her head. "I missed you too mommy. Maybe next time you can come with us." She said. I smiled. "We will see sweetie." I said getting up and shutting her door. I walked around the back of the truck and I said goodbye to everyone. We drove to Tristen's first to drop him off. His sister came out to help me get him out. She said hello to the kids and wheeled him in the house. I drove home and I brought the kids in the house and I got their stuff and brought it in. Addison showed everyone what she got from her Disney cruise and showed off her beads. I sat on the couch with Grayson and I played with his feet. I missed my babies so much. Livy came down stairs from her nap, and when she saw Addison she went crazy. They hugged each other, and she played with her hair. "Daddy? Can I do this to my hair?" She asked Lucas. I've never heard her call her daddy. It was adorable. He nodded. "We can take you tomorrow to get it done." He smiled. She jumped up and down in excitement. "I know how to do it Livy. I can do it." I suggested to her. Her eyes lit up. "We need to wash your hair first though." I said playing with the rats nest. She nodded. Lucas took her up stairs and gave her a bath. I went into the game closet to dig out my old beads. I had a feeling she was going to want the same as Addison, they had this obsession with doing everything the same. I grabbed the brush and she came down in outfit similar to Addison's. "This is going to be a little tight on your head. Alright?" I asked. She nodded. It took me about an hour to do, and she sat through it all like a trooper. "Alright, last step. What color beads?" I asked. She picked pink and white. I figured. When I was done she hugged me. "Thank you Auntie Em." She said. I nodded. "Anytime sweet pea. Go play with Addison. She's in your room." I said patting her back. I picked up Grayson and I went and sat on the heated porch. I set him on the ground to let him play, and I texted Tristen.

Me- Sorry love, I've been busy braiding Livy's hair like Addison's.

Tristen- It's alright. I was sleeping anyhow.

Me- You alright?

Tristen- I'm really sore. My leg hurts so bad.

Me- Awe sweetie. Need anything?

Tristen- Mom just went to the store to get the refill on my meds and some groceries. I just feel like hell.

Me- I'm so sorry baby. I can come over, but I'll have Grayson.

Tristen- Don't worry about it. The weather is terrible. I tried to get mom to stay home. But it didn't work. I love you.

Me- Alright. I will be over tomorrow sometime to take care of you. Give your momma a break

Tristen- She'd appreciate it. And so would I ;)

Me- Haha. No problem. Love you.

I set my phone down and I got on the floor with Grayson. He turned over and I smiled. "Good job sweetie. Keep going!" I urged sweetly. He got excited and tried to move, but he couldn't. "Don't worry love. You'll get it." I smiled bopping his nose. I laid with him a little longer until he started to fall asleep. I set him in my lap and let him fall asleep. I looked at all his features, and noticed he looked more like Steven every day. He had his nose, he smile, and his eyes. Not much from me than his chubby cheeks. And then I realized that I really wasn't fully over Steven.
