Chapter 32

Skylar's POV
"Don't you even-"

I took the snack pack out of my mouth.

"Fine."

I put Rosaria on the counter. I used my hands to open the snack pack. I handed it to Rosaria.

"Yay! Tank you!"

"You're welcome."

I picked her up then put her feet on the floor. I gave her some water.

"Let's go sit in the living room."

"Skyboy? Do you have any dirty laundry?"

I stopped walking.

"Go sit. I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay!!!"

I crossed my arms and started walking up to her.

"I'm supposed to be doing the laundry at the moment. You're supposed to be resting."

"Yeah...I know. I just feel bad that you've been the only person doing it."

"Okay that's technically not true. We both fold everything. I help you put things away. You're doing more than you think. You probably don't even realize it."

"I-I am?"

"Yeah. I don't even know how you've been pushing through school. So yeah. You're doing more than you think."

"So...you're okay with doing it?"

"Yeah. I'm fine with it. There's things that you can't do or you shouldn't be doing and I wanna help you. It's not a big deal. I don't mind. Plus...we're a team. You should go rest now. You look a bit tired."

"But I'm talking to my mom."

"It's okay. I'm coming back tomorrow remember?"

She hugged Masie and told her that she loved her then walked away.

"How'd she get so lucky?"

"Lucky how?"

"With you."

I shrugged. When Rosaria was done with her snack, I sent her to go play. I went to the laundry room and started working on the laundry. Once that was sorted, I went to check on Alixa. I saw that she was sleeping.

I walked up to her then kissed the side of her head. I quietly walked out of our room and quietly closed the door.

I found Rosaria in her playroom.

"You okay?"

"Mhm!"

"Alright. I'm gonna start to make dinner. I'll come get you when it's ready."

I made dinner then went back to the playroom.

"Sweetie? Dinner's ready."

"I no hungie."

"You're not hungry? Not even a little bit?"

I walked up to her and crouched down.

"You should eat. I won't force you if you're not hungry though. That'll just make you sick. But I also don't want a hangry Grier running around."

"Tiny hungie."

"There we go. Let's go see if mama's hungry."

Alixa said that we didn't have to wait for her to eat dinner. Me and Rosaria ate dinner then I got her ready for bed.

I went back to doing the laundry. I found Alixa eating in the dining room. Laughing woke me up in the morning.

"Shhh! He's sleeping!"

I got up and followed it. I found the girls in Rosaria's room. Alixa was trying to get Rosaria ready. I leaned up against the doorway.

"What's so funny girls?"

"DADDAAAAAA!"

Rosaria ran up to me.

"Hey! What's so funny to you?"

"She's just a silly girl."

I put my hand on Rosaria's head.

"That's true. I'm assuming...someone's ready to see grandma?"

"Yep. She is."
