the ultimatum

first day of preschool

Tim and the twins had a lazy day just sat on the sofa watching movies and eating trash. It got to around dinner time, Tim made the twins just basic nuggets and fries and he baths them and gets them prepared for their first day of preschool the next day.

He tucks them both into bed in their new rooms and he gets their clothing sorted for the morning. He gets avalynn some black flared leggings with a plain shirt and white air forces and arlo some jeans and a plain shirt and white air forces.

He sighs, and gets his work stuff ready, he was fucking terrified to return..he has no one at work to even rely on or speak too..

He jumps into bed and finally exhaustion took over him as he didn't sleep the night before.

It was roughly 3AM when he heard little footsteps come towards him, he stirred and woke up, it was avalynn and she was crying.

"sweetie what's wrong" Tim panics sitting up and kneeling infront of her.
"n-n-nightmare"she stutters as tears stream down her face. Tim's face softens and he gathers her into his arms "your safe baby, I promise" he whispers in her ear to calm her down, she was still crying and whimpering- Tim could feel his shirt get wet.

He sighs "want to sleep next to daddy?" Tim asks softly and she pulls away and bit her finger nervously and nods. Tim smiles softly and helps her onto the bed and he lays back down. Immediately avalynn climbs onto Tim's chest and lays on him still sniffling and whimpering. Tim rubs her back softly and eventually her breathing evened out, Tim knew she was asleep so he shut his eyes and fell asleep too.

Tim's alarm went off at 6:30AM, he turns it off and sees avalynn still fast to sleep on his chest. He slowly lowers her down onto the other side of the bed and he jumps up to quickly have a shower,  and dress for the day.

He walked back into his room and he hears his phone start calling, it was Laura.
"hey Laura" Tim smiles as he walks into the kitchen to start the twins breakfast.
"Hey Tim, just saying good luck for your first day back" she says softly.
"Thanks..I'm not sure if the kids are going to preschool to soon though" Tim sighs
"how's that?" Laura asks calmly.
"Avalynn woke up with nightmares..she was sobbing- I can't take her to preschool..I can't leave her alone" Tim says and he hears Laura sigh in the background.

"Tim she'll be fine I promise you." She says softly.
"yeah..yeah.." he nods as he flips a pancake.
"Your a great man and a great dad Tim, your rocking this" Laura says
"hmmm I recall you calling me attractive not great when you were here" Tim chuckles, Laura blushes "I've got to go, I'll speak to you later" she chuckles and hangs up and Tim smiles.

He plates up the pancakes and wakes the twins up, they eat and Tim gets them ready for preschool..he never knew getting two little toddlers ready was so stressful when you are on your own..he supposes he had to get used to this.

He finally gets them into the truck and he drives to the preschool.

"Angela can you take Jack to preschool..I need to see a client" Wesley says as he rushes out the door fixing his tie.
"But babe I start work soon?" Angela snaps
"Sorry!!" He shouts just before the door shuts and she hears his car drive out the drive way.

She groans and sighs and looks at Jack who was sat on the sofa eating his cereal.
"daddy is being an idiot isn't he" she coos to Jack sitting next to him, Jack giggles and nods, Angela takes jacks spoon out of his hand and has a few mouth fulls of his cereal.
"Hey mommy!" Jack snaps and Angela smiles and kisses jacks head and heads upstairs to grab jacks clothes for the day.

She dresses him and grabs his bag and her bag and heads out to take Jack to preschool.
She pulls up and she carries Jack out her car and walks over to the drop off door and she sees Tim with the twins.

He was kneeling in front of them and hugging them and speaking to them..Angela's face softened for a minute..she stares at the interaction until Jack wanted to be put down.
"Mommy down" he kicks his legs and Angela puts him down.

"Uncle timmm!!" Jack runs over to Tim, Angela internally screams and follows him.

the twins move out the way and Jack runs into Tim's arms, Tim kisses Jack on the head "hey jacky" Tim says
"Your back from holiday!!" He celebrates and Tim looks at Jack confused so he expands "auntie Lucy says you were on holiday" and Tim sighs
"Yeah" he nods and Jack pulls away and runs inside the classroom as he saw his friends.

Angela was stood abit away from Tim he didn't realise her. Tim says bye to the twins and walks them inside and he was about to walk towards the preschool reception until he bumped into Angela.
"Oh.hey.." he says awkwardly.
"the twins are the double of you" Angela comments, Tim wipes his hands on his trousers and nods "yep."

"sorry about Jack..I tried to grab him but his little legs are somehow faster than mine" Angela says.
"It's fine..he said Lucy says I was on holiday..she didn't have to cover for me she could have said that I left her or something"he replies awkwardly.
"Yeah well she didn't want Jack to think you  are a bad person"Angela replies
"but I was a really shitty person" he says
"yeah you were and you still are"Angela agrees.

"look I need to go and fill out some paperwork at the reception..I'm just going to go" Tim sighs walking away, he completely forgot Jack went to this preschool.
He fills out paperwork and heads straight to work..hoping he has an okay day..
