In Between The Good and Bad

Chapter 22

Harrison's POV

"Ive got a 1 year old child and a 2 month old. I am not sure what sleep is anymore." I tell my mother who sat in the kitchen drinking tea. She had also escaped the party going in the house.

"Honestly... I am so proud of you guys. You are working on your marriage and seem happy. Your children are absolutely beautiful." She smiles at me. Ever since her health concerns came up, she has zoned in on what she thinks is perspective.

"Mom, youre getting all emotional on me." I say and she chuckles.

"Im allowed to. Im a grandmother. Who had near death experience." She smiles.

"You look good mom. Im happy to see you feeling healthy and well." I tell her and she nods. "God, it was a long road but Im grateful."

"Thanks for coming Kate." Penelope says walking into the kitchen looking at my mom. She hugs her walking over as my mom got up.

"You look so good." Penelope smiles.

"Thanks honey. Well you always do." My mom says as she looked at Penelope in her pink tight dress and heels. She was right. Penelope always did.

"Thank you. You know my baby turns 1 only one time." She smiles.

Riley being 1 was insane. Time was going way too fast. I wanted him to stay a baby forever? The baby monitor goes off with Ruby's cries.

"Well let me go see my grandbaby." My mom says. "When one wakes up... the other does." Penelope says and I chuckle. "Its true." I shrug as my mother walks out.

"You do look great." I tell Penelope who just smiles. "You like the pink?"

"I like the pink. More sliding off your skin." I tell her as I pull her in. "Eh... we have a kids birthday party going on?" She says as she kisses my lips. "Remember? The one year old we made?"

"Eh.. you can remind me on how we created him?"

"Harrison." She says laughing. "I need to talk to you about something."

"Okay."

"Okay two things." She says.

"Well this cant be good." I say as she fixed her dress and threw her hair behind her shoulder. Her hair always reminded me of gold, it had a golden shine to it as she was the prettiest blonde I have ever seen.

"I hired Simone back." She says. I snap back out of my dream of Penelope's good looks.

"You did what?" I ask. "Okay... you can take the dress off now." She says.

"Penelope. Are you serious?" I ask her confused about what just came out of her. I look at her dress, as tempting as it sounds I remember what she just said again and snap out again.

"Well she has kind of been here for like 3 days you havent noticed." She says and I rub my eyes hoping that I was not hearing this. "What? You are starting to piss me off Penelope."

"I told you. No funky business trust me but there isnt a nanny I trust. She loves the kids and Riley loves her remember?"

"Yes. And she loves my wife."

"No. She was just horny and heartbroken and your wife was just there." Penelope says waving it away.

"What is the second thing?" I ask her. My blood was boiling. I was ready to find Simone and fire her. This wasnt acceptable to me.

"Im going to LA for the weekend.. I have a wedding." She says.

"You have a wedding?" I ask even more confused.
