Stilettos in the City

Chapter Nineteen

* Half A Month Later *

I sat down on the couch and dialed Lydia's number on my phone.

I smiled when she answered.

"Hey, Liz." Lydia said.

"Hey."

"Baby, don't eat that!" I heard Lydia scold.

"Is this a bad time?" I asked as I giggled slightly.

"No, it's fine." Lydia sighed.

"How's Ashton doing?" I asked.

"He's fine, but he's being a little annoying right now." Lydia scolded, I heard Ashton giggle.

I laughed.

Lydia sighed. "You're lucky you had a girl."

"Yeah, I am." I smiled

"So, how is Jay?" Lydia asked.

"She's good." I replied.

"That's good."

"I called to ask you if Ashton could come over and play with Jay. Can he?"

"Sure, are you inviting the other girls too?" Lydia asked.

"I hope so, I still have to call Karen and ask her."

"I hope she says yes, they haven't gotten to play together in a while."

"Yeah, me too."

"What are we supposed to do?"

"I'll have Caden watch over the kids and we can go out for a walk."

"Sounds amazing.." Lydia sighed.

"I figured we could all use a quick break." I giggled.

"I'll get off of here and bring Ashton over."

"Okay, I'll call Karen."

"See you soon."

"Bye."

I smiled and hung up. After I hung up I dialed Karen's number.

"Hey." I said.

"Give me one second." Karen sighed.

"Ok."

There was a silence.

"Sorry, I had to help Carly get ready."

"Is she having trouble?" I asked.

"No, she just wanted me to dress her today. She can dress herself just fine."

"I called to ask you if you would bring the girls over today, I invited Ashton over too. I think Jay would enjoy it. Plus, I have some news to tell you both."

"Ooh, I can't wait!" She squealed.

"I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah. See you soon. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and I walked into Jay's bedroom where Caden was playing with Jay. I smiled as I leaned against the doorway.

"Hey, Caden." I said as I walked over to them and sat down.

"Hey." He smiled at me.

"So, I invited Ashton, Alisha, and Carly over today."

"You want me to watch them?"

"If you don't mind."

"I don't mind."

"I knew you wouldn't mind, I just wanted to tell Karen and Lydia in private."
