I don't 2 (Raura)

Book 2~1: Skip

* ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER *

Araura's POV

"Pass me the glue Araura"

I gave Timmy the glue after he asked for it and he glued the last parts to our paper puppets. Everybody needed a partner, and since Rose wasn't here today, Timothy was mine. We made a puppy with spots. It was black and white. The teacher said it was called a da... dal... A dal-something, but its a really weird name for a dog

"I'm done, high five"

We high fived and laughed together

"Timmy, I'm having a birthday party next Saturday, can you come?"

He thought for a while

"I don't know, I have to ask my dads"

"Dads? You have two?"

"Yea, don't you?"

"No, I have one"

Oh, well what's your dad's number so my dads can call him"

"I'm not giving you my daddy's number. What if your dad tries to take mine, my mommy and daddy are already apart, it can happen"

"Don't worry, Raura, my dads are happily married. They don't want your dad"

He called me Raura, is that my nick name now?

"Ok, write it down" I waited for him to take out a pencil and paper. "443... 587... 2391"

"Ok thanks. Can I invite other people?"

I shrugged my shoulders. That would be cool if I had the biggest party out of every one in the third grade

Ross' POV

"Cream and lilac balloons... Yea.. It should say 'Happy 8th Araura, love R and L'. The 'and' should be the symbol, not the words"

I was ordering half of the things for Araura's birthday at the moment. Laura was ordering the other half. We didn't divorce yet if you're asking. Although the it's been two years, I guess we're just separated. Courtney and I ended up not working out, she's.... Fucking crazy. It's been kind of hard looking for some one that I liked being around, that Araura liked being around, and who didn't only want me for my money. There was no one that had all three requirements. Any ways, my little girl is turning 8, I'm so proud of her. It seems just yesterday she was 5, spelling me and Laura's names into the monitor at the bowling alley. I miss those days. While I reminisced about what life used to be, my phone began to ring

"Can I order the rest later....? Thank you, have a nice day"

I answered the other call, it was Laura

"Ross, did you order the cake and the bouncy house yet?"

"Trying to, you know, if you didn't call me every five minutes"

"Sorry, I just need this to be perfect, we only have until next Saturday"

"Every single one of Araura's birthdays was perfect. I don't think she'd be too pissed off you have a tiny fuck up every now and again"
