The Bad Part About Loving Her

Chapter 24

The next morning Alex woke up to Kayden wailing on the baby monitor. She threw the covers off her body and went to his room.

He was standing holding onto the rails crying. She picked him up and put him on the changing bed. She changed his diaper and went back to her room with him in her arms. She turned on the tv and got back in her bed. She laid him down next to her and drifted off back to sleep.

Alex woke up again and looked at the time. It was noon. She got up and went to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. She peeked in her bed to see Kayden glued to the tv.

"You wanna do something today?". She asked.

"Yes pease". He nodded.

She nodded.

She went on her phone to see what would be good for them to do.

"You wanna go to Bounce World?". She asked.

Bounce Catle was a field full of bounce houses that people could rent for up to six hours. Alex would only rent it for one hour.

He nodded. She put her hair in a bun and got dressed in a white and blue dress with gold sandals. She changed Kayden again and put his clothes on. She combed his hair out and braided it.

"Ok, let's go". She smiled down at him.

She got his diaper bag together and grabbed her phone and keys. She held his hand as they walked out of the door. Paparazzi was at the end of Alex's driveway.

"Mommy! Wook!". Kayden yelled as they snapped pictures.

"It's ok Kay, just ignore them". Alex sighed.

She strapped him in and sat his bag on the floor below him.

"Looking good Alex". One of them called.

"Feeling good, vulture". She shot back.

Alex hated paparazzi. They were always trying to get pictures of her.

She backed out of the driveway slowly careful not to give the paparazzi any ammo against her. She drove to Bounce Castle and texted Nick and Jordan to meet her there. Once she got there she got Kayden out and put him on her hip. She grabbed his bag and headed toward the building. Once inside she paid and waited for Nick and Jordan. Alex put on some socks provided by the Bounce Castle. She slipped Kayden's shoes off and took him to a bounce house she rented. She sat their stuff in a locker across from the bounce house and put their stuff away. She led him to the castle and put him inside. He stood up and began bouncing.

Alex got inside and began jumping with him.

"WooHoo!". She cheered watching Kayden jump around.

Minutes later Nick and Jordan joined them. Nick had a little girl with him.

"Hey yall!". Alex called jumping up and down.

"Hey!". Nick waved.

He put the little girl inside and she began jumping around. The three adults sat in a circle in the middle while the two children jumped in circles.

"So who's the pretty girl?". Alex asked.

"Why thank you". Jordan chuckled.

The three laughed.

"My daughter, Kensey". He nodded.

"She's a cutie". Alex watched the two interact.

After the kids finished bouncing, the five of them went to eat at Red Robin.

"Jay you want some fries?". Alex asked.
