"Zo, you can't play with Mommy's neck brace."

I laughed as Zoey tried to grab at my neck.

"Okay, time for bed girls."

Fergal said, picking Zoey up from my lap.

"No!"

Zoey and I both yelled as Fergal rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Yes! It's bedtime little girl."

He said, kissing Zoey's cheek and carrying her to her room. Soon he returned and crawled into bed with me.

"How's your neck feel?"

Fergal asked, helping me take my brace off.

"It still hurts a lot but it's getting better."

I said with a sigh.

"Can I talk to you about something real quick?"

Fergal asked as he rubbed my neck. Something was up.

"Sure."

I said.

"Would you be okay if I went back on the road?"

He asked me. Hell no. How the hell am I suppose to watch the kids in a neck brace? But...I didn't wanna upset him.

"Sure."

I said.

"You sure?"

No.

"Yep."

I said with a fake smile.

"Great. I love you. You just get it."

Fergal said, kissing me.

"Yep. I just get it."

I said with a sigh.

I'm screwed.
