My Life as Mrs. Crosby

Bringing Home Raider

Kinda short, but I hope you guys enjoy it! I should be updating this more often. Or at least more than I have been :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charlie wasn't happy that she was a big sister, but the fact that she wasn't going to have another girl in the house made her happy.

Sid was happy too but I wasn't really worried about him. He got his son, he had his baby girl, and he has me. He would be happy if we only had one child or five.

Charlie definitely needed extra attention so when our parents had Raider, we took Charlie out and switch off.

"We can't keep doing this." Sidney told me one night after we put our children to sleep. I was getting ready to take a nice, hot bath and he was brushing his teeth.

"You're going to break your little girl's heart, you know that right?" I could guilt him into doing anything for her. "Just while our parents are in town. Then we can figure something out so that she won't get so upset." I tossed a bath bomb into the tub and stepped in while it was still filling.

"I guess. But what are you going to do on my next road trip?"

"Miss you." He gave me a look like he wasn't amused and I rolled my eyes. "Sidney, I have a team of wives willing to help me."

"We could hire a-"

"Nanny? No."

"Just for road trips. Babe, I'm going to be gone for a week." He leaned against the counter, crossing his arms. "Just think about it."

"I'll think about it if you join me." The bath bomb was mostly glitter and I knew it would stick on him and not wash off. I'm sure the boys would love that.

"We can't even do anything for another 3 weeks."

"You can rub my feet because you're an awesome husband like that." I smiled at him, knowing he would give in eventually.

As soon as our bath turned not so innocent, Charlie was knocking at the door.

"Mommy I can't sleep."

"Okay Charlie, mommy will be out in a few minutes." I stood up, grabbing my towel to dry off. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

A few minutes turned into Charlie sleeping in the bed and me eventually falling asleep.

"The water got cold and Raider was crying." Sidney walked in, holding our son. I tried not to laugh, but the look on his face was priceless. "Seriously, will you think about getting a nanny? Just for when I'm gone on trips and Raider is older?"

"Fine. I'll start looking tomorrow and you can pick which one you think is best fit. Even though they won't have to do much." Sidney laid our son down, leaning over to kiss me goodnight.

"I love you."

"Love you too, Sidney."
