"I want to stick my fingers so far up your-"

"Shh." I cover Justin's mouth with my finger as Aviella walks in.

"Mommy, when are we going home? My Shopkins miss me." She climbs into the bed and sits in my lap.

"We'll go soon. I have to talk to Uncle Frankie when he gets home."

"Okay. I'll tell Grandma Jojo." Aviella gets off of my lap and runs out of the room.

"As I was saying-" Justin starts.

"I don't wanna hear it." I shake my head as Bella starts crying.

"What's wrong, lady bug?" Justin picks her up and I laugh.

"I see you still haven't found a nickname."

"Actually, I like ladybug. So leave me alone."

"I'm not messing with you."

"You're talking to me." I roll my eyes and Justin takes Bella's pacifier from her mouth.

Of course, this

"Give it back, you bully."

"I'm not a bully. I'm protecting her from being addicted to this thing."

"Oh, shut up, Justin. You sucked on these until you were 4."

I take Bella away from him.

"She's hungry anyway."

3:00 pm

"Mommy has the best food you'll ever eat in your entire life. Don't forget that, Bella McKynzie."

"Mommy, Uncle Frankie's home." Aviella yells.

I start to get up but Frankie walks in my room instead.

"My niece said you wanted to talk to me."

"I do. Sit."

"No thanks."

"It wasn't a question." I stare at him until he sits down in a chair by the window.

"Thank you."

"What did you wanna talk about?"

"You know exactly what I wanna talk about. You're mad at me for no reason."

"I'm not mad at you."

"Don't lie to me, Franklin. What's upsetting you?"

"I didn't agree with your decisions. I honestly still want to kill your husband. But, you two seem to be alright, so it's whatever."

I look at Justin and he shrugs.

"Frankie, I'm sorry you didn't agree with what I did. I understand you're my brother and you want to protect me, but I'm a grown woman and I have to choose to do what's best for me and my family. Seriously, think about it. If I chose to be all dramatic and stop talking to Justin, then what would happen to my daughters? Especially Aviella. He literally kissed a girl, who he thought was me, while he was drunk. Technically, he thought he was doing the right thing, even if that makes him sound stupid."

"I am stupid." Justin says.

"The point is, I can't just think about me. I have to think about how this would affect everyone else. If I really wanted to leave him, I would've done it a long time ago. But, he's my husband, I love the crap out of him, and that will never change."

"I may not agree, but I understand, Ariana. And I love you."

"I love you too." I give Bella to Justin and stand up to hug Frankie.

"Now get out of my room. You know you're not allowed in here." I push him out and he laughs, walking down the hallway to his own room.

"Can we go now?" Aviella asks.

"Yes, Aviella Monet. We can go."

The next part will be skipped ahead 2 months, then there will probably be 1 or 2 more parts after that. Just thought I would warn you because I'm feeling nice.
