"Can we bring Lottie and Gracie cookies from that place with the pink boxes?" I hear from the backseat, while she pets Willow, who is still chewing on the same bone from last night. We spent the morning eating breakfast in bed and talking about mindless stuff that a 7 year old would want to talk about. Then we got up, grabbed our swimsuits and went out to our pool and took a little swim, and then got ready to finish off their girls trip with some shopping. Even after multiple shopping trips, the girls still have very minimal clothing so I have been adding stuff to their collection every time we go out. Now we are in the car on the way home from a successful night. Ette is sitting in the backseat holding the flowers we got for Gracie and watching The Lion King.
"You mean Crumbl baby?" I ask watching her nod. Almost like she planned it, the Crumbl store just so happened to be a couple miles down the road. I pull into the parking lot and grab her and Willow out of the car. We go grab the cookies and get back into the car and head back on our way. After a few hours, me and Ette are standing in the doorway when I hear
"TAYLAHHHHH" coming from down the hall. I get in engulfed in a huge hug as I see Gracie following behind, what I wasn't expecting was for the young girl to have tear stained eyes and to be holding a very large glass of wine. "Taylah guess what" she gives me about half a second to respond. "Me and Gracie watched a bunch of movies and ate so much ice cream. Then we slept in the comfy bed in the guest room until 11 o'clock." I look at Gracie with a raised eye brow and she mouths 'later', I nod and go back to loving on my girl.
"That sounds like a lot of fun baby, me and Ette brought cookies home about you go unpack them in the kitchen." I say, putting her down and giving her a huge hug, looking at Gracie, who is giving Ette a hug, I hear little feet patter off. Then I hear a fall, I look up and hear a little,
"'m good!"
Then Gracie looks at me, I can see it right when I look her in her eyes. Something is very off, she looks like she's been awake for 50 hours and she is wearing sweatpants past 1pm for probably the first time in her life. "What happened honey?" I ask, rubbing my hand up her arm as she watches the girls playing in the kitchen.
"Can I stay here tonight?" She whispers, I nod but don't quite understand why she needs to. She is a grown adult with a house. "I'll tell you why once the girls are asleep, thank you." She gives me a quick hug and walks into the kitchen.

8:00pm
Lottie is down for bed, me, Gracie and Ette are in the kitchen starting to put decorations together for Lottie's birthday party. It isn't until this Saturday but I want this to be her best birthday ever, she's been having such a hard time since they have been here. I can tell Gracie is getting more and more tired and that she needs someone to talk to. "Hey, E lets get you to bed baby." I say as I pick her up and put her on my hip so we don't have to struggle getting up the stairs with her leg. We have an appointment in a few days to hopefully find out a few way to get her moving around easier. Now that we are walking up the stairs she has started yawning and laying her head down on my shoulder. She has a habit of not realizing she is tired until she is about to pass out.
"Can I sleep in tomorrow, I think I stayed up a little too late." I lay her down in her bed and press I long kiss onto her forehead and tuck her in.
"Of course darling, I'll make sure you are up before James come over, yeah?" I say and she nods before snuggling into her pillow and blanket. Me and Blake have been planning on getting the girls together so they can have more friends, I also took the girls to a playgroup and was able to get a few people to invite to the party.
"Night Sweet Girl." I hear from behind me and see Gracie petting Willow as I stand to leave the room. We both walk out and shut the door. Gracie follows behind me as we head to the living room, sitting on the couch and sipping on our wine. After a long pause Gracie finally speaks up, "I don't know if I can live by myself anymore. I mean I've been living on my own for 5 years but after staying here and having the house be full of laughter and talking all the time, its just hard to go back to nothing and no one." She started crying and I pull her into a hug and start rubbing her back. We sit like this for a while before she leans up against me and rests her head on my chest.
"You are welcome to stay here as long as you need hon, the girls will be very excited to have you around." I say as I turn on the tv and pull a blanket over us.
