I turned off the oven and went into the living room. I'd made dinner but was too tired to eat. The front door opened and everyone walked in. Dave took Bella with him and Cameron to get a haircut. He got the hint I needed a little time to myself, these past few days I've been feeling more drained than anything.

"Cass dinners ready?" Cameron asked.

I nodded my head as I sat up straight, knowing if I laid down I would fall asleep. Dave gave me a kiss before taking Bella upstairs. Cameron walked over and plopped down next to me.

"You feel any better today?" I asked, hoping he did.

"Not really" he shrugged.

"You going home soon you thought about it?"

He nodded "I know y'all want me out here but I can't leave her."

Cameron was a sweetheart and I know he wishes that he had it in him to leave. But I understand his reasons completely. As long as he knows that we're here if he needs it, I'm fine.

Once everyone was eating I slipped away, my body was aching I needed a hot shower. So I got undressed and hopped in. By the time I was done washing and drying off. The door opened and Dave stuck his head in the gap making me laugh.

"You ain't hungry?" he asked as he looked at me like he was hungry himself.

"No, I need some sleep."

I opened the door and walked into the bedroom. Dave turned me around and looked at me. "You okay?"

"Stop fussing I'll be fine."

He gave me a kiss before going back downstairs. Once I was done getting ready for bed I laid under the sheets pulling them right over me.

I opened the front door and Dave walked out with Cameron's bags. I'd said God knows how many prayers for him. Cameron walked downstairs with his last bag. He kissed Bella on the cheek before setting her back down.

"Remember what I said to you." I said and he nodded giving me a hug.

When Cameron is home we only have contact with him, Chelsea doesn't really speak to anyone as far as we know. I waved them off and closed the door. Since I didn't have any plans for the day I just decided to clean up the house and prepare something for dinner.

I turned off the water and checked the temperature. I'd been dying for a hot bath, so that was exactly what I was going to do. After taking off my robe I got in and turned on my speaker to play some music. As a mom now my only alone time is when I take a bath or after Bella goes to sleep.

"Mommyyyyy." I heard her sing.

I take back what I said, now that she walks I can't get my own bath time. She walked in, you could tell it was her bed time because her hair was all over the place.

She walked over and rested her chin on the side of the tub "Bub." she said pointing to the bubbles.

"Where's daddy?" I said and she just looked at me.

"You're not getting in." I said and she was already trying to take off her diaper.

"Jesus." I sighed. I gave in and picked her up to put in the tub with me.

She plopped her head on my chest and wiggled her hand around the bubbles. I rested my head back and just listened to the sound of her babbling away.

"Bellz." I heard Dave say.

"Stupid ass." I mumbled shaking my head.

I opened my eyes and Dave walked in. He chuckled quickly covering his mouth. "My fault mama I fell asleep."

"Next time I'm locking her in there with you."

"Booty you giving ya mama grey hairs shawty." he said making me laugh. For context, Booty is her nickname as she sleeps with her booty in the air,

I sat up and washed the both of us up. Dave grabbed Bella and wrapped her up in a towel. I hopped out and patted myself dry. Looking over I saw Bella trying to fight Dave, she was refusing to put her pyjamas on.

"Baby come on." I said and she quickly followed me into the bedroom.

Once she saw me getting dressed, she let me put her pyjamas on. I got into bed and put her next to me. Usually a bottle puts her to sleep so Dave went to go and make it.

Looking over she was sucking her thumb while her other hand rubbed her ear. Just like her damn daddy, always fiddling with her ear or someone else's. After getting myself comfortable she came over to disturb my peace.

We'd been doing good with weaning off nursing but she was still being dramatic at night time. "You ready to go to sleep?" I asked.

"Boobie?" she asked patting chest, I tried to stop myself from laughing.

"Look here." I said our king to the door as Dave walked in with the bottle.

Bella shook her head, she rested her head on my chest and put her little arms around me. I took the bottle from Dave and tried to give her a little, as soon as she got a taste she rolled over and grabbed it with both hands.

"Say thank you dada." I reminded, we were trying to get her to speak as much as possible.

"Tanks." she mumbled before closing her eyes. Dave chuckled and kissed her cheek before getting into bed bending me.

We don't really have sides of the bed anymore. Bella will move to whatever side she feels like and we lay on the opposite side. Dave flicked off the light, I felt his arms wrap around my waist. Bella fell asleep first so Dave put her in her nursery; me sing I could finally love over and get comfortable.

"Baby I'm hungry." Dave said walking in rubbing his face.

"So go and eat." I said quickly covering my mouth as I yawned.

"You don't wanna come wimmie?" he asked like a child. I chuckled and followed him downstairs, while he dug around I hopped on the counter.

Instead of my plan in getting some sleep, myself and Dave sat there for the next hour talking about whatever came to mind.
