Life is Short

Chapter 26

"Bye baby girl, have fun with daddy love you." I kissed her cheek before handing her off to Bradley and turning back to my boy's.

Every weekend we switch off who has the kids. This weekend I have the boy's while Bradley has Shiloh, then next weekend we switch so there's a girls day and boy's day. On Sunday we have a family day.

"What do you boy's want do today huh?" I had Sawyer curled up next to me with Harley on the other side of him.

"Let's go see aunt Mikayla." I got out of bed and scooped them both in my arms to get them ready. I quickly got them ready before I got myself ready.

"Hello." Mickey answered.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Nothing, just looking at wedding plans."

"Want to take a break and go get breakfast with your sister and nephews?"

"Yea I miss the littles, where's my niece?"

"Her daddy has her, so get ready I have to finish packing their bags."

"Okay so half hour?"

"Yea, meet you at the café." We hung up and I finished packing the boy's bag and put them in their car seat.

"Ready babies?" I smiled at them. I kissed both their foreheads before we headed to the café.

"Aunt Mickey is here." I smiled as I got out of the car and she came over hugging me.

"I missed you."

"I just saw you."

"So you're my sister."

"Come on help me with the boy's." I pulled Sawyer into my arms and grabbed the baby bag while she grabbed Harley. We went inside and sat down before ordering.

"This is Harley right?" I nodded.

"Yes."

"So guess who I saw the other day?"

"Who?" I frowned.

"Hadley."

"Did she say anything to you?"

"She asked how you were doing and I told her you were doing good." She smiled.

"Did you tell her that I'm married and have these little ones?"

"No she didn't ask. When's the last time you saw her?"

"Before I got married so probably when we were dating."

"Honestly why were you with her? Was it because of Bradley?"

"Kind of. This was before anything happened, we were at a party both of us drunk, and well we got dared to kiss. After that we hooked up and everything. She just took care of me and I latched onto that."

"What about Bradley?"

"He was away and we were fighting all the time because of Kenny."

"Was it always going to be Bradley?" I smiled thinking about my husband.

"Yea, without realizing it I would compare who I was with to him."

"I'm glad you two are together."

"Me too." I smiled, looking down at Sawyer who was just looking up at me.

"Hi baby." I kissed his forehead and he turned looking at his brother who was playing with Mickey.

"Ali?" I turned and there was Hadley looking at me with shock.

"Oh hey." I smiled nervously.

"Are they?" I nodded.

"Yea these are my boy's Sawyer and Harley. Their sister Shiloh is with their dad."

"Please tell me it's Bradley?" I smiled.

"Yea its Bradley, we're actually married. I'm sorry I would have sent you an invite, but I had no idea where to send it."

"I'm actually living in ST. Thomas now. I'm here visiting family." She beamed.

"Wow that's awesome."

"Yea I love it there."

"Are you seeing anyone?"

"Yea, his name is Franco."

"That's awesome, I'm happy for you really."

"What about you Mickey, you getting married, any kids?" She turned to my sister taking the attention off of me.

"No kids for me, but I'm actually getting married next month."

"Congrats, who is the lucky guy?"

"His name is Clay Lockhart."

"I know him." She smiled.

"Please tell me, you didn't sleep with him."

"No he wasn't my type then." She winked at me while I smirked. I looked down at Sawyer who was falling asleep against my chest.

"Gross." Mickey groaned.

"Hey, who was the one that came and lay in the middle of us when we were naked?"

"The blanket was covering both of you plus it was fun annoying you."

"It's okay. I know you had a crush on me." Hadley fought back.

"Whatever." Harley fussed and Mickey carefully handed him to me and I laid him next to his brother.

"Momma's boys."

"Sawyer is, Harley is just when he's tired."

"Do you want to head out?" Mickey asked.

"Yea."

"It was good seeing you guys, and nice meeting the boys. Maybe next time I will get to see the rest of your family." I nodded.

"Yea good seeing you too." We got the boys in the car and I hugged my sister good bye.

"Ali." I turned around and Hadley was there. She quickly pressed her lips to mine.

"Just as amazing as I remember." She smiled then walked away as I just watched her in shock. I got in the car and headed back home where I curled up with the boy's.

"Hey babe." Bradley smiled as he walked in the living room.

"Hey." I yawned and placed the boy's on the floor next to Shiloh.

"Hi baby girl." I kissed her forehead then let her talk to her brothers while I went to talk with Bradley.

"So what did you and the boy's do?"

"We went to the café with Mickey where Hadley showed up."

"Oh yea how did that go?" I watched as his body stiffened.

"It was good, she lives in ST. Thomas, and she's seeing some guy name Franco."

"Something else happened."

"Um she kissed me." I whispered.

"What?" He hissed.

"I put the boy's in the car seat and when I turned around she was there then just kissed me."

"Did you kiss her back?"

"No, why are you getting mad?"

"I don't like sharing." I went up to him wrapping my arms around him leaning up kissing him.

"You don't have to share me, I am yours okay. Bradley it's always going to be you, it always has been."

"I know I just don't like her."

"She was happy to know I was married to you."

"Good because that's not going to change."

"I hope not." The babies started crying so we went to tend to them.
