Lexie woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. She almost had everything she wanted. Her kids, her job and Mark, well almost.
As usual, she woke up around 5:30 am and went to take a shower. As she undressed, she looked at her growing bump in the mirror. It wasn't as big as it was when she was at that stage of her pregnancy with the twins, but she still started to feel huge.
She could see the stretch marks on her ties and on her abdomen, that's one thing she had forgotten about being pregnant. She didn't resent that part of pregnancy, she loved it. She loves observing her body change as she grew this little human.
She went and took a hot shower before going downstairs and prepare hers and the kids' breakfasts and their lunches.
She was making scrambled eggs and ham sandwiches. As she scrambles the eggs with the spatula, some left the pan and landed directly on the stove. With her index finger, she picked up and burned the side of her hand at the same time.
"Shit!" She cursed as she put her hand under room temperature water.
"Mama?" She hears coming from upstairs.
Lexie shut the robinet and went upstairs to go see why her kids needed her.
"Hey!" She greeted them. "Good morning!"
Both of her kids were standing in the door frame of the bathroom and looked angrier than usual.
"She won't let me go to the bathroom," Brian whined.
"I was there first!" The little girl told her mother.
"But I need to pee!!!"
"Brian, go to the bathroom downstairs and Leslie hurry up. You have to get ready for school."
"It's not fair..." Brian said as he walked down the stairs and his sister closed the bathroom door. "Why do I always have to go downstairs."
As he said that, the fire alarm went off. Lexie ran into the kitchen to find her rambled eggs burned. She took it off the stove and the content of the pan into the garbage.
She picked up the hand towel and waved it under the fire detector. It finally stopped screaming and Leslie walked into the kitchen fully dressed with her red backpack on.
"Mommy, can you do my hair?" She asked.
Leslie looked at her daughter and then at the garbage. She did not have time to make eggs again. And so she popped two slices of break into the toaster and picked up the hairbrush. She braided her daughter's hair and just as she finished, the toast popped out of the toaster. She spread them with strawberry jelly and gave one to Leslie and knocked on the bathroom door to let Brian know that his time was up and that they needed to keep rolling.
As usual, Brian and Leslie were ones of the first kids who arrived at school at 7 am. Lexie helped them out and gave them their lunch boxes and planted a kiss on each one of their foreheads.
"I love you. Have a great day." She told them and they ran inside to join other kids.
Lexie drove to the hospital where she parked right next to Mark's car as he got out of it.
"Hey!" He said.
"Hey!"
He walked over to her and offered to take her bag which she accepted.
"How was your morning?" He asked
"Awful." She responded.
Mark chuckled at her response.
