A MONTH LATER
So you would think that after having a pretty dramatic life so far that I would be able to escape it but nope. So its only been a month and so far we've found out that Brooklyn is actually Bi-polar and is now on medication for that. But thats being managed and hasnt been to bad so far. Wyatt convinced Hallie that she can stay at his more often so now she stays there 3 nights a week. Monday, tuesday and wednesday and sometimes sunday as well. I miss my baby girl being home all the time but I would never stop her from going because I see how happy she is with the setup now. Lincoln is so good now Im loving the sleeping through the night thing he has graced us with. Luca just still being a boy hating school, loving sports and then Poppy is absolutely loving helping out with Lincoln, its pretty much all she wants to do these days so thats fun. Then there's me and Brandon. We can not seem to stop fighting and usually the fights are started with something to do with Wyatt and then the smallest things will set us off.
It's Saturday morning and the kids are still in bed except for Poppy and Lincoln. Poppy is watching cartoons while I give Lincoln his bottle next to her and brandon is sitting in the furtherest away chair possible.
"Mummy?" Pop asks looking up at me
"Yeah baby"
"I think we should move back to we're grandma and gram live"
I give her a confused look "Why baby you love LA?"
"I know"
"Well then why should we move back silly?"
"Because you and daddy next fighted back there" she says in a sad tone.
My face softens and I pull her in closer to me "Oh baby its ok, I promise it will stop"
"You sure?"
"Positive" I say and she smiles and then goes running over and jumps onto Brandons lap.
"Ohhh" Brandon shouts in pain.
Poppy giggles.
"You my little friend need to stop growing, soon your gonna be to big and acting like your sisters"
She giggles "No daddy its ok, Im poppy" she says making me smile.
"Yes you are. and you a very good one" he says lifting her up and onto his shoulders "Now does Poppy want to help daddy with breakfast?"
"YEAH!!!" she screams and he takes her into the kitchen leaving just me and Lincoln.
I finish up feeding him and when I walk into the kitchen they're done making their pancakes for everyone and the table is all set up. Im looking around the room for Poppy and Brandon comes up to me and takes Lincoln. "Hey big man" he says and gives him a kiss. Then he walks him over and puts him into his rocker.
"Hi to you too" I say sarcastically
He stood up straight and turned around and then looked at Poppy "Pop go wake the others up for breakfast" she nods and runs upstairs.
He then walks over to me "I thought we werent talking?"
"No. you werent walking because you were pissed off about something stupid"
"Callie wanting Hallie here in our home more than 4 nights a week isnt something stupid"
"When she isnt with us she is with him, which she has a right to be"
"Thats not the point"
"Then what is the point?"
"the point is that yes. he is taking responsibility now but where has he been her whole life before this. Nowhere. Thats right. I was fine with this to start with but now its just getting to me and I heard her the other day when he dropped her home. Do you know what she said to him?"
