Saving My Life

Kenzie's First Day

"Lunch is ready!" "Ok. Be we'll be down in a second." Kenzie, Skai, Peyton, Zach. Let's go to lunch." We all walk downstairs and sit at the table. Zach came over when we got back from the daycare.

"So what are we having?" I ask Sean who was in the kitchen with Ariana the whole time. "Grilled Cheeses." "It took her that long to make those?" I ask since it has been almost 30 minutes since she just started.

"Let's just say she didn't get much work done while I was with her." "Ew, Sean. Gross!" "Well you asked." He says shrugging his shoulders. Ariana walks in with the food and plates and places it one the table.

"Bon Appetit." "Thanks Ari." "No problem. Gotta look out for my kids." "But we're not your kids." Skai says gesturing to her, Peyton, and Zach." "Yes you are. Just think of me as your aunt or something like that."

"Thanks 'aunty' Ari. I like how that sounds." "Me too." We all eat and go into the living room to just sorta chill out. Kenzie takes a nap on me and Zach's lap while Sean and Ari sit on the other couch and Skai and Peyton sit on the other one.

We are watching The Visit. I don't even know what movies we watched so we are probably gonna keep watching movies we've already seen. "I'm so tired." Ariana whines. "That's what I'm here for." Sean says smirking.

"Yo, get a room." "This whole house is our room." "Yea, but not in front of the children." "Fine. We'll stop." Ariana says laying her head on Sean's shoulder. She falls asleep almost instantly.

The movie is about halfway through and me and Sean are the only ones awake. Zach fell asleep on my shoulder. It should be the other way around, though. Since we both have people laying on us, we just turn off the movie and go to sleep. NAP TIME!!!

"Taylor, wake up. I have to potty." I wake up slowly and check my phone. It's 10:00 and Sean and Ariana are awake watching Spongebob. Probably since Kenzie was awake. I lead her to the downstairs bathroom and wait.

When she's done, we go back into the living room and Kenzie starts playing with her toys on the floor as I get comfortable back in my spot and go back to sleep. The last thing I hear is the funny laugh of Spongebob.

2 Days Later

"Kenzie, wake up. I know you're used to sleeping until the next day but your first day of daycares today. You have to get ready." She slowly gets up and rubs her eyes. "C'mon let's get you ready."

I pick her up and take her to get ready. When she is all ready, I grab her diaper bag and bring her downstairs. Everyone is waiting for me and Kenzie with the exception of Skai, Peyton, and Zach. They all have careers of their own.

I go in the kitchen and grab 2 granola bars and head to the car where Ariana is finishing up strapping Kenzie in her car seat. "I'm so ready to work again. I haven't worked in a long time." "Me too." I say, smiling and giving Kenzie the other bar.

We eat the granola bars on the way to her daycare which is the closest. After we drop her off, Ariana is dropped off at her studios, followed by Sean, and me. My set is the farthest away.

"Hello everyone. I have missed you all. Now get to work! We have a couple episodes to film." The director yells to no one in particular.

2 Hours Later

"Ok. That's a wrap. Have a wonderful rest of your day." The director yells as I leave and head to the limo which already contains Sean. "How was your day, Taylor?" "Cool. We filmed a couple episodes. Why are you out so early?"

"My manger had family matters so we had to cut it short." "Oh. Ok. Who's next?" "Ariana. Kenzie is last. I can't wait to see her. She has to have had a wonderful day at that beautiful place."

We arrive at Ariana's studio and she's sitting in a bench, texting. The driver has to honk the horn to get her attention. As she rushes to the car, she gives the driver a quick hello and slides in.

"Sorry about that. Alexa texted me. Had to answer. She's my best friend." Ariana continues talking on her phone as we pull up to Kenzie's daycare. I volunteer to go get her and hurry out of the car since we are running a little late.

The same lady is at the front desk and she directs me into a huge playroom with a bunch of kids running around and playing with toys. "She is actually taking a nap in the 'Quiet Room'. She just ate lunch."

"Oh. That's fine. She is a really heavy sleeper." We go into a door and she leads me into the quiet room. "Kenzie is in crib number 4. You can get her if you'd like. I heard someone at the door."

I pick up Kenzie and she squirms before laying her head on my shoulder and falling back asleep. I walk out the way I came in and thankfully, the kids have gone to the cafeteria for lunch time.

I issue the desk lady a quick hello before walking out the door and into the car. Kenzie's head tilts to the side as I lay her down on my lap. She gets uncomfortable sleeping in her car seat.

We arrive at home and I put Kenzie upstairs before going downstairs and falling asleep shortly afterwards.
