Struggle|| A Heartland Life book 3

Chapter 1

It had been an amazing day. We were at home after a full day. I, Amy Fleming, am a Mother and Wife to a wonderful husband. I have 3 children one is a toddler, my lovely Kiarra, and my Twins Marion and Aldon who are just 6 months old now.

In one month we all are going to Mallory and Jake's wedding. I have been asked to be a bridesmaid. Kiarra and Marion are going to be flower girls and Aldon is going to be the ring bearer. Ty is going to carry Aldon down the aisle. We are also are going to France for a little while for a party of theirs. It will be a lot of fun.

We were at home. Ty was going to be home in twenty minutes or so. Kiarra is now 4, and she is currently coloring a Barbie color book that Ashley gave her for Christmas. Ashley was over right now, she has been coming over quite regularly lately.

"Hello Aldon," Ashley smothered, "He's getting so big! Oh, and so cute."

"I know they are growing up so fast! I remember giving birth to Kiarra like it was yesterday. Now I have two more as well!" I replied, giving a slight laugh.

"Auntie Ashley!" Kiarra screamed.

"Yes, Kiarra?" She asked.

"Look at the picture I drew!!" Kiarra said proudly showing it to her mom and Ash. It was just some really out of the line drawing and it was mostly pink and blue.

"Sweetie this is beautiful!" I smiled, giving her a pat on the back.

"It's really good Kiarra!" Ash replied.

"It's for grandpa!" Kiarra smiled.

"Do you want me to mail it to him?" I asked, with a smile on my face. I stroked my daughter's hair. It was to her shoulders and today she had pigtails on.

"Yes. Can you tell her hi from me?" Kiarra said, her eyes pleading with me.

"Okay. Go and play!" I said as Kiarra skipped to her room, "I am going to check on the twins I'll be right back."

Ashley nodded. I knew she really loved children and that someday she would be a great mother. Ashley and Caleb were talking a little bit, but Ashley had been dating a little bit. She had been dating a guy named Joshua. They had been dating for around 3 months. She seemed to be pretty happy.

Ashley got a text. She checked her phone.

Hey, ash, I am sorry to break this to you but I am breaking up with you. We can't do this anymore. I know you thought things were getting serious but I can't make it serious. I am sorry. Bye Ash.

Ashley stood back; she wouldn't in one million years have guessed this. I walked back and asked Ashley who had a shocked face, "Are you alright?"

"Josh, his he just broke up with me," She told me, having a very neutral voice, not showing any emotion except realization.

I sat down beside my friend, and put my hand on her, "Ashley, you will find the perfect guy, I know you will. Here let me grab you a cup of water, or would you like some tea."

"No thanks, I am just going to go home," Ashley said, still having this bizarre, shocked face planted on her, "Is it okay that I dump you before your husband is home?"

"Yeah, he should be here soon. If he is not here in 15 minutes then I'll give him a call. Don't worry about me, plus you have clients to meet and check and paperwork and all that boring stuff," I winked, trying to lighten up her mood.

"Of course," She replied before adding sarcastically, "How am I ever going to get through all that paperwork."

I let out a little laugh and then she responded, "Bye Amy, have a good night, sorry about ditching you.
