We walked into my house and I showed Katy where she was sleeping. "So where's your new house?" I asked while helping her unpack
"Three houses down on the other side of the street." She said as she pulled out her last item in her bag.
"Where's the girls?" She asked as we walked downstairs
"With Shawn." I said when we got to the couch
"Awe father daughter time!" She cooed
"Yeah it's nice. I guess." I exhaled heavily
"You guess?"
"Well it's just that since Marci was born. He has spent every part of the day with the girls. And I only see them right before they have to go to bed." I rolled my eyes.
"You get alone time." She winked as I laughed
"I'm bored."
"I forgot! I brought something for us to do!" She exclaimed as she ran upstairs. She ran back down with movies in her hand. She slammed them onto the coffee table in front of me "Which one?" She asked as I leaned forward. She had It, The Fault In Our Stars, The Boy, and The Space Between Us.
"You know how much I hate clowns. The Space Between Us." I said as I put it in the dvd player.
Once The Space Between Us ended we watched The Boy at 8:30 pm then The Fault In Our Stars at 10:00 and at midnight we fell asleep watching The Boy again. At around 12:30 am I woke up to turn the TV off and get a 'late night' snack. I sat down at the counter bar in my kitchen and ate a chocolate chip muffin that I hid from Shawn.
As I bit into my chocolate chip muffin I heard the front door squeak open. I looked around for a weapon and realized that I left my mase upstairs in my bedroom. I finally grabbed a knife and crept over towards the door. It shut. The floorboards creaked with each step the intruder took. I took a deep breath.
I brought the knife close to my head, so I could easily attack the intruder. I jumped in front of the intruder then heard shrieks
"Oh my God!" It was a girls voice "Killer! Knife!" Another voice came "Daddy!" Someone screamed as I dropped the knife then someone grabbed me, picking me up
"Naomi turn on the light!" They yelled.
The lights came on
"Mum?" Naomi asked then I was dropped. I turned around and saw Shawn
"What are you doing here so late?" I asked him as he bent down to pick up the knife
"What were you doing with this?" He questioned while putting it in the sink "I thought you were an intruder." I replyed.
We heard Katy roll off the couch "Ouch." She moaned
"What was that?" Shawn asked while taking a 'karate' stance
"Katy." I said sleepily. I walked over to Katy and helped her up
"I can't help but notice you don't have any family pictures." She said while rubbing her head
"Shawn doesn't want to take any." I whispered to her
"Don't let him tell you. You tell him!" She whispered back.
"Shawn this is Katy she takes family pictures. I think she should do ours tomorrow." I said
"No thank you. We have enough pictures." He said while eating something
"One. We are getting a family picture tomorrow from Katy. Two. Did you just eat my chocolate chip muffin?!" I raised my voice
"It was just sitting here. I swear I didn't know it was for you." He threw his arms up. I turned back to Katy who was smiling. I can't believe we just had an argument and I won. I never win anything.
The Next Day
I woke up and saw Shawn going through his drawers
"What are you doing?" I asked sleepily "Looking for a tie." He said and I saw that he was wearing a white button up shirt with black jeans.
"You don't need a tie. You look good." I said while rolling out of bed. "But could you get Marci ready?" I asked as I brushed my teeth
"Sure." He said before walking downstairs
"Sky I'll meet you outside in front of the little forest!" Katy yelled from downstairs
"Okay!" I yelled down to her while putting on my makeup.
I put on a light blue dress with lace on it and it ended right above my kneecaps. I wore white wedges to match my dress and I left my wavy hair down. I walked across the hallway and walked into Naomi and Melody's new room. I opened the door and saw Naomi in a purple dress with pink flowers on it and Melody in a pink dress with purple flowers. Naomi had her hair in little curls and then had it pulled back into a ponytail. Melody had her hair in a messy bun on top of her head. Me and the girls went to Marci.
I opened the door and saw Shawn with Marci in his lap and he was braiding her hair. She jumped out of his lap
"Mummy! Mummy! Look how good daddy did my hair!" She said while turning around so I could see her hair.
"That's so pretty." I said while grabbing her hand and twirling her around. I finally got everyone outside so we could take pictures.
"Okay first why don't we have the girls in the front and parents in the back?" Katy said while we got in order then she took the picture.
She gave me a discount since we're friends. Shawn started walking off with the girls
"Hey Shawn I'll go with you!" I hollered after him
"No it's okay just stay here!" He said before they all got in his Jeep and drove off.
