The rest of our lives (book 7) (EDITING)

Chapter 12

"No Justin, I know we can work it out but I don't wanna work it out if your gonna turn around and do the same thing."

I turned around and walked upstairs.

I got ready for bed and then laid down.

He walked in here on the phone.

"Hailey what we've been doing is wrong, I love my wife, she doesn't deserve me hurting her like this and you were just my side hoe but I've realized I don't need one, my main chick is enough for me."

I turned away from him. He put it on speaker.

"Ya I understand I wish you guys the best in life."

"Thanks bye."

"Bye."

"Marriage counseling"

"What?"

"That's what we need marriage counseling."

"I'm not about to talk to a counselor about our problems."

"You don't have to, but I'm gonna do it and if you wanna fix our marriage then you would too."

He stayed silent. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up this morning and Justin was gone. I got out of bed and ready for the day.

I then walked into Michaels room and fed him then changed him and brought him downstairs.

Justin was still no where to be found.

I set Michael in his swing and made breakfast.

Amber and Autumn came down here with July.

"Morning mom where's dad?"

"Morning Amber and studio."

"Ah ok."

Autumn hugged me went to sit down. I served breakfast then they went to catch the bus.

Amber has a day care at school so July rides the bus with Amber and Autumn.

I set Michael in his play pin as Justin walked in.

"Good morning my queen and prince."

He kissed me and then grabbed Michael.

"Good morning where'd you go?"

"I had an appointment."

"With?"

"My therapist."

"Since when do you have a therapist?"

"Since last night, when you fell asleep I laid next to you and thought really hard about what you said and you were right I do need help and I do wanna work out our marriage problems, so if you still want we can do marriage counseling."

I looked him dead in the eyes too look for a joke and he wasn't he was dead ass serious.

"Jay your for real we can do it?"

"Yes."

I jumped in his arms. He wrapped his around my waist.

I kissed him then pulled away.

"Ima go make an appointment."

"I already did, it's for today at 6 so we can eat dinner then we've got the appointment."

"What about the kids?"

"Moms got it."

"Ok."

I kissed him again.

"I love you so much."

"I love you so much more."

I pecked his lips.

"Ok you can let me down now."

"Nope."

He started going upstairs.

"Justin the baby."

"What about him?"

"We can't leave him down here alone."

"But I'm tired and I wanna cuddle you."

"You're gonna have to sleep on the couch and cuddle me."

"Alright."

He laid me on the couch and laid on top of me laying his head on my chest.

I smiled and looked at Michael.

He started crying and reached his arms out for me.
"Mommy."

"Ok honey, I'm coming."

Justin got up and so did I grabbing Michael who stopped crying when I grabbed him.

"What a mommy's boy."

"Looks like daddy is gonna have to cuddle with both of us."

He held onto my shirt and laid his head on my shoulder.

"I'll take a nap when he takes a nap."

"Ok honey."

"I'll have you calling me daddy also."

I giggled.

"Justin stop."

"What?"

"Jay."

"Ok ok I'm sorry I'll stop."

I smiled and kissed him then went upstairs and got Michael ready to go to the park.

~~

Its now nap time and we got home.

I changed Michael and laid him down to sleep.

"Ok now it's time to put daddy down for his nap."

Michael smiled at me. I smiled back and kissed him and then walked into my room.

I laid down with Justin who opened his arms.

I laid in his arms and kissed him. He then soon fell asleep.

I just laid there and thought about what life would be like if I didn't have kids.

I'm not saying I don't want my kids anymore, I love them more then I love life itself.

I would give my life for my babies, but sometimes I do miss being able to go out.

Can you blame me though? I've been a mother since I was 12.

No matter how hard I laid there trying to picture my life without my kids I couldn't.

They're all I want in my life and I would never wanna take them out of it.

After a while I fell asleep too, cuddled up to my husband.
