Holding Out For A Hero

4 Days Later - Feb.6/18

Dave and I had spent the past four days staying inside our home and just hanging out with the kids. We were home for another three days before Dave went back on tour and we had the girls with us until friday night. Dave drove them to school every morning after family breakfast and I would spend the morning with Ophelia playing with James until Dave came back. Today however I was going out to lunch to lunch with Gisele and Abby. Dave came home after dropping the girls off and took James from me so I could go get ready. Ophelia went with Dave but when I came out of the shower she was on the bed waiting for me.

"Can I come with you please? I don't want to hang out with Daddy and James," she asked as I towel dried my hair.

"Did you ask your dad?" I asked back.

She shook her head no and then got off the bed and said she'd go ask. I messaged Abby and Gisele to see if they'd be ok with Ophelia joining us if Dave said yes. I got dressed in jeans with rips in them, a short silvery crop tank top with a floral kimono. I grabbed a hat and a pair of sandals and headed to the bathroom to blow dry my hair. Ophelia came running in before I started the hair dryer with a huge smile on her face.

"Daddy said it's ok if mom says it is too. He's on the phone with her," she said.

"Ok. Hey can you grab me my phone please Fifi?" I asked and she ran out of the bathroom.

I started the hair dryer and started doing my hair. When Fifi came back she put my phone in front of me and then sat on the floor watching me. I saw both Abby and Gisele said it was ok, so now we were waiting on Jordyn. I was done blow drying and now brushing my hair when Dave came in with James.

"Did mommie say yes?" Fifi asked excitedly.

"She did. Remember to be polite and to say please and thank you," Dave replied.

"I will daddy. Thank you," Fifi said. She hugged Dave's leg and then ran out of the bathroom.

"You're welcome. Well well well look whose back to herself," Dave said as he walked over to me.

"I'm on vacation technically and I just got back from Canada where it's freezing," I said in defense of my oufit as I turned to face him.

"Not what I meant. You've been covering up since you had this little guy and it's just good to see you back to yourself. It's not a bad thing, you just seem more comfortable with yourself again. I missed it and you look amazing," Dave responded with. He then kissed me on the cheek and James made a happy little baby noise.

"Do you agree with you daddy?" I asked as I took James and held him in front of me. James point at me and smiled and I smiled back, taking that as a yes. He turned his head sideways and smiled at himself in the mirror. I sat James down with his feet in the sink and his back to mine and he sat there happily looking at himself and me in the mirror.

"Is this how you did your make up while I wasn't around?" Dave asked. I had started putting on mascara but I stopped briefly and nodded.

"It is but only when your mom needed a slight break. He likes looking at himself and who could blame you? Look at these cheeks," I said in a baby voice and gently pinched James cheeks which made him smile.

"I can't wait for this tour to be over," Dave said as I looked up at him in the mirror.

"Why? Thought you loved touring," I asked.

"I do but seeing you two together is making me realize how much I'm missing," Dave replied with. I finishing putting on my chapstick and walked voer to him with James.
