Seems Like A Lifetime

Our Family, His Kids

"Mommy, where is daddy?" Troy Jr. asked me.

We're waiting at the airport for him. He was supposed to be here 2 hours ago and the airport hasn't made any announcements about his plane being delayed so I'm assuming he isn't coming... AGAIN!

"I don't know sweetie, maybe his plane got delayed." I hate lying to my children but they're just too young to understand what's really going on with their father and me.

"Oh." He says a little dejected.

This is the third time Troy has flaked on coming to see his children and quite frankly I'm sick of it.

I pull out my phone and call Ashley.

"Hey baby, is he there yet?" She asked me immediately.

"No." I tell her. She sighs. "How is Megan?" I know that she was really excited about seeing her dad.

"She hasn't stop saying, 'Is daddy here yet mama Ashley?' since you guys left." See this is what pisses me off. He gets their hopes up every time and then disappoints them.

"Well I'm pretty sure he isn't coming so could you find a way to let her down easily please." I tell her and I can hear the frustration in her voice as she says a quick sure.

She hates when he does this as much as I do. She loves Megan and T.J as much as I do.

I hang up and throw my phone into my bag.

"Come on sweetie. Daddy's not coming." I tell T.J and I can see his face fall and how disappointed he is.

We began walking towards the exit, T.J looks back one more time.

"DADDY!" T.J breaks loose from my hand and runs towards the terminal.

I turn around and see none other than their no good daddy.

"Hey there champ. How you been?" Troy asks T.J as he scoops him up in his arms.

"Good daddy. I missed you." Troy Jr. says as his dad puts him down.

"I know champ. I missed you too. Where's your sister?" Troy asked looking around.

"She's at home with mama Ashley." T.J said pulling his daddy towards me.

"Mama Ashley huh?" He says shooting daggers at me.

"Damn right." I say sternly.

"You have my children calling your damn lover mama Ashley?" He asked, well semi myelled.

Mostly yelled though.

"Yep." I say and start walking towards the exit. He doesn't deserve anything else. "I have you set up at a hotel about 2 miles from our home. I'll bring the kids by later on today and pick them up in the morning. I also have you a rental car in case the kids want to go out or something." I tell him.

He rolls his eyes. Probably upset that I don't need him anymore. Ha! I told him.

We leave the airport and I drop him off at the hotel and go home to pack up T.J and Megan's things.

"So he's here now? I just got Meg to stop crying." Ashley says as she sits down on the bed next to the bag I was packing.

"I know baby. I really thought he wasn't coming. I'm sorry." I say throwing a few more of T.J's shirts into the bag.

"I had to promise her ice cream Spence, and I never go back on my promises. We're going out for ice cream." Ashley said, putting her hand in the way so I couldn't put anymore clothes in the bag.

"Ashley baby that's fine. You can take her out for ice cream tomorrow. They're only going to be gone for one day." It wasn't about the ice cream, Ashley hated being away from the kids for long periods of time.

It was actually pretty cute.

"Fine." She said. A small smile breaking out on her face. "I'm just going to miss them." She admitted.

"I know." I say smiling at her. Man do I love this woman. "They love you baby. Troy can't change that. Okay?" She always said that she was worried that once Troy finally did show up for his visit he would try and and turn the kids against her. I assured her that could never happen.

They adore her entirely too much.

"K." She says in a small voice.

"I love you, too." I say leaning over and kissing her.

"And I love you." She says deepening the kiss.

I'm not really sure how I got here but right now my back is against the wall, Ashley is in front of me attacking my neck.

Shirt...gone.

Pants...gone.

"Ashley, honey... wait." I try.

She's not hearing me though.

And I don't blame her. We haven't really had sex in a while.

You know, having a real family now takes a lot of time and effort. Not really anytime for the type of sex Ashley and I like to have, especially with kids in the house.

Oh shit! The kids.

"Ashley wait, I need to take T.J and Megan to their dad's." I Tell her trying to push her off me so I can get off the wall.

"One more minute." She moans into my ear.

MY weakness.

I stop fighting and let her continue to attack my neck.

I'm getting entirely too turned on and I know that if I let her continue then we're going to go all the way.

And we can go for HOURS.

Hell, days.

I'm pushing her off me again.

"Ugh! FINE!" She yells in frustration. I know how she feels.

"I'll be right back." I tell her throwing back on my clothes and grabbing the bag off the bed and running to get Megan and T.J.

We leave and I go to drop the kids off, I got to get back to my woman!
