,, Divitia stop hitting your brother!'' I hear chaos in the living room while I make dinner. I start to hear someone running in the kitchen.
,, Mom Divitia is pulling my hair'' I hear Nolan speaking behind my back. ,, Divitia stop hitting your brother!'' I yell again. ,, Can there be a single day without you fighting each other?'' I ask Nolan. I finish boiling the potatoes and then remove the pot from the stove. I hear the oven turn off as the chicken finishes cooking and I turn to face Nolan. Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, tanned skin, and long eyelashes, wears a blue silk pj, and looks just like his father. Suddenly I heard the front door open, It was James coming back from work.
''Go welcome back Dad, and say to come eat,'' I say to Nolan, kissing his cheek. As I gave him the kiss, he ran to his dad and hugged him. James took him in his arms and lifted him up as Nolan wrapped his legs around his waist. I hear Divitia screamingly running to her dad and hugging his leg, too. I smiled and then turned to take the chicken out of the oven.
I hear James groaning from behind me still with kids. I turn around and laugh. ,, Kids, let the dad breathe'' I say smiling. Nolan jumped off Dad first and ran to the table, but my daughter was still hugging her dad's leg. James looked down to see Divitia, picked her up, and put her on his right side hip. James turned to me. Dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, tanned skin, and his smile.
,, Hey love'' He kisses me. Divitia hugs her dad's neck. ,, Hey'' I smile I turn to the counter again placing the chicken on the board so I can cut it. I hear noises from behind me and seconds later I feel James touch, he wraps his hands around my waist and places his head on my shoulder. ,, What have my beautiful wife cooked this time?'' He says closing his eyes.
,, Chicken with potatoes'' I say cutting into smaller pieces for Divitia because she's only 3 years old. ,, Smells delicious. I'm going to take a shower fast'' He says as he leaves me alone in the kitchen. I turn my head to look at the dining room to see Nolan and Divitia fooling around at the table. I finished everyone's plates and started to place them on the table for everyone.
A few minutes later I see James coming from the bathroom in white t-shirt and dark grey pajama pants. He sits down at the table and looks at the kids who are fighting again. James calmly asked them to stop because he was a gentle parent so was I. We both taught our kids to be grateful, kind, and helpful, with calm parenting not abusive. As far as I know, they are great kids. I'm happy, my husband is happy and my kids are happy and that's all I could ever wish for. To have a happy family, have two loving kids, and a husband who wasn't like my father. 16 years old me could never believe what she has now. After all, today is Christmas who wouldn't be happy?
