Saving My Life

What's Wrong

When I wake up I just lay there since I don't have to take care of Mackenzie. Then I hear a knock on the front door. "Zach wake up someone's here." "Uhh. I hate mornings. Fine." He says as we both get up.

Walking down the stairs, we go over to the door and answer it. "Hey I just came to check on Zach. I have a very busy schedule today." Taylor says while looking at her phone. "Hey Taylor." "Well I'm gonna go get some breakfast while you 2 talk."

While they finish talking, I go in the kitchen and make some pancakes. "Ok. Taylor's gone." "Can you go see if Alexa's awake please?" "Yea sure." He says as he walks out of the kitchen.

While I finish the pancakes, Alexa walks in while Zach walks in with Mackenzie. "Good morning." "Good morning." "So you're making pancakes? I love pancakes." "Cool." "How exactly do you fix a bottle?" Zach says as he puts her in her high chair.

"Ariana said she already took care of her before she left." "Oh. Well she was awake just staring at the ceiling so I brought her down here." "Ok." "Hey guys I'm gonna go to the store after breakfast." Alexa says as we all sit down at the table.

While we eat, Mackenzie is banging on her high chair. "Maybe she is hungry. I'll go make her a bottle." "Ok." After I make her a bottle, I take it into the dining room. "Here you go sweetie." I say as I give her the bottle.

"Ok guys I'm gonna head out now." "Ok bye." While Alexa walks out Zach's phone rings. "Hey Taylor. What's up?" "Ok. Thanks for telling me." "Alright. Bye." "That was Taylor telling me that she's done for the day so we can call her if we need her." "Cool."

"Lets go into the living room." I say while picking up Mackenzie and walking into the living room. "Turn on Spongebob." I tell Zach while placing Mackenzie in her play pen and sitting on the couch next to Zach.

While Mackenzie plays with her toys, me and Zach watch Spongebob. "I think I'm gonna call Ari and Sean. See how their doing." I say as I dial Ariana's number. Waiting for her to pick up I turn down the TV.

"Hello?" "Ariana?" "No this is Sean." "Oh hey Sean. How are you guys doing?" We're doing good. We're on our way to Tallahassee, Florida.  Ariana's sleeping. That's why I picked up the phone." "Oh. I was just calling to see how you were doing."

"Oh Ariana's awake. Here." "Hello?" "Hi Ari. How are you?" "I'm great how's everyone at home?" "Everyone's great. Alexa's at the store, Mackenzie, Zach, and me are in the living room watching Spongebob."

"Cool." Ariana says as Mackenzie starts crying. "Oh I gotta go Mackenzie's crying. Bye. Love you guys." "Love you too. Be safe." She says as I hang up the phone and go over to Mackenzie. "Hey sweetie what's wrong?" I say picking her up.

"Lets go get you some food. Maybe your hungry." Walking into the kitchen I place her into her high chair and start making a bottle. When I'm done I take her out of her high chair and try to feed her but she won't take it.

"Lets go change your diaper." I say giving her a pacifier only for her to spit it back out. "Ok." When I get up to her room, I try to change her diaper but she's being difficult. "Ok. Sweetie I'm gonna need you to cooperate please." I say changing her diaper.

"Ok I'm done and your still crying." Giving her another pacifier, I put her in her crib. "Ok sweetie I'll be right back. Try to go to sleep please." I say walking out the door and down the stairs. "Zach something's wrong with Mackenzie can you call Alexa please?"

"Sure. What's wrong with her?" "She won't stop crying. I tried feeding her changing her diaper and putting her to sleep. She's still crying." I finish as Zach calls Alexa and I go upstairs to check on Mackenzie.

"Ok Mackenzie I'm trying. You gotta stop crying. Please baby?" "What's wrong sweetie?" "Zach says as he walks in. "I called Alexa. She's close. She was already on her way back when I called." "Ok. great." I saw picking up Mackenzie and sitting down in the rocking chair.

Trying to rock her back to sleep, Zach's phone rings downstairs. Coming back upstairs he walks in the room talking to Alexa. "Ok. That's fine. She's quieting down now. Bye." "Alexa's on her way but she got stuck in traffic." "Ok."

As Mackenzie slowly falls asleep, I stand up and place her in the crib. Quietly walking out the room, I slowly shut the door and walk downstairs. "Ok. Done with that. Now I'm hungry. I'm gonna go eat some lunch." I say walking into the kitchen.

After finishing my lunch and cleaning up the kitchen, I go into the living room and sit next to Zach. "I'm gonna go get Mackenzie you get her portable crib." "K." Walking up the stairs to get Mackenzie I feel even more tired.

When I get back downstairs I place Mackenzie in her crib and lay on Zach's lap. Slowly falling asleep, I see that Zach and Mackenzie are both sleeping so I turn off the TV and go to sleep.
