I dropped off the girls to dance practice and then me and Emilia went to the store to buy new clothes. Not for me, not for anyone else but Emilia. The spoiled one. She insisted on buying clothes that matched me or jen because she wants to be "twinny".

"Emilia don't run!" I said as we walk in the store. "Hurry mama!" She says and drags me along with her. I got her the cutest outfits. I knew jen would like them because it'll look so stylish on Emilia. Emme used to dress up this way. She still does but she's bigger now. Time goes by so fast when you enjoy it.

I'm in the fitting room with Emilia having her try on these loose jeans. Pretty much like boyfriend jeans but for toddlers. I just want to make sure it won't slip off her waist.

"Mama its too big!" "I know I see. I'll get another one but try this on first." I tell her and I put this black dress that's kind of puffs out at the bottom. She looked adorable. "This one is cute!" I tell her. She smiles and twirls. "Mommy is gonna love that" I tell her and she gets happy. Emilia has the most adorable smile. I know she got that smile from jen because they have the exact same face when they smile. It's just, Emilia is a baby but you could see their resemblance.

After that store, we walked around the mall a little more. I'm hungry but I'm waiting till the girls are done so I could take them out to eat too. Jennifer's out with her mom and sister so it's just me and the kids today.

There were some toys also in this kids clothing store and Emilia straight up ran off out of my sight. Great.

"Emilia!" I call out and look around. She's so tiny. How am I gonna find her?

"Emiliaaaa where are youuu?" I said and kept looking around.

I ended up finding her in the place I expected her to be at. Where all the silly putty toys were.
"Babe don't run away like that!" I told her and carried her.
"I want that!" She complains and reaches out her arms. "No you have some at home and Emme has some too" "I don't want Emmes!" "Why not? You have to share" "Emme dont share" she pouts and gives me those puppy eyes look. "I'll talk to her okay? We're just here to get your clothes" "hmph!" She pouts and crosses her arms as I'm carrying her. I smile and kiss her cheek. Then I did again, and again, and again till she started to smile.

"There's that cute smile" I said and squeezed her cheek and she laughs. "I love youuu" I tell her. "I love you mama" She says back and tries to kiss my lips so I kiss her back. Then she laughs and pokes her little finger at my lips and starts playing with it. She started to laugh even more and squeezed my face.

"Fishy!!" She says. I pull my head away and smile and then do the same back at her. "Now you look like a fishy" I said. She smiles widely with her mouth completely open. I love making her smile.

I put her back down and we walked together around the next store. I bought her shoes and sandals this time. She's been needing sandals for this hot weather and it'll match the dresses and rompers I just bought.

After another hour of shopping, we picked up the girls from dance and had dinner at a restaurant. We always sit in a booth. Emilia on my side and Emme and Sofia on the other.

After we ordered the food, Emme was drawing on the paper kids menu. It fascinated Emilia and she started reaching across the table and took the paper from her.

"Emilia!" Emme complains. "Emilia you have your own" I tell her. "This has color!" Emilia says. "Emilia give it back it's not yours" Emme says with an attitude. "No!" "Give it!" "Nooo!" Emilia yells out. "Emilia" I hiss and pull the kids menu out of her hand and give it back to Emme. Then she continues to color.

Emilia started to cry super loud but Emme ignored it and Sofia looked at me, shook her head and laughed.

"Stop Babe, here look!" I said and started coloring a picture on her menu. It calmed her down and she watched me color. "See?" "I try?" She shyly asks. "Sure" I said. I sighed and looked at Sofia and pouted. We've had this talk, just me and her before about how Emilia has been stressing me and Jennifer out but Sofia just kept telling me that we've prepared for this and we got this and were the best moms anyone can have...all that shit. I love my daughter because she really understands me and she's so happy with our new family. It's the most unexpected thing a child can go through but it turned out great.

"When's jen coming home?" Sofia asks me. "Hmm..I don't even know. Ima call her. I miss her" I giggle. "Aww" She says.

I FaceTimed jen. She answered right away but she wasn't paying attention. She was laughing at someone.

"Mommyyyy!!!!" Emilia squealed and grabbed my phone away. I look at Sofia again and press my lips and she just laughs.

"Hi gorgeous!" I hear jen say to Emilia. "Mommy where are you?" "I'm at grandmas house! I'm going home soon!" "Hurry!" Emilia says and gives the phone back to me.

"Hi" I smile. "Hey you" she smirks. "How was your day?" "Tiring! I just wanna go home and shower. And see my girls." "We wanna see you too. We're eating right now though. I'll bring you some food home if you'd like" I tell her and she gets happy. "Yes please" She said and scrunched up her nose. "Mmkay.." "I love ya" she says and rests her head on her hand giving me that adoring look. "I love you more" "no I do" "impossible" I shake my head.

"No. I love you more" "prove it" I raise my brow. "I'm not gonna talk about how I would prove it when the girls are there." "fine. But I need it later" I giggle. "Need it? Did something happen today?"

I look at Emilia whose continuing to color on her paper. Then I looked back at the phone and sighed. "The little one" I said. "What did she do now?" "I'll tell you later" I said as our food came. "I'll see you later babe. Our food just got here" "Okay bye! I love youuuu" "I love you too". I said and we hung up.

"You guys are cute" Sofia says and I look away from me phone and give her this look.

"I know we're cute" I giggle. "I'm so glad you two are married." "I am too" I say and we give each other a soft smile.

I always randomly think about how lucky I am. Jennifer helped me get back on my two feet and be able to raise Sofia and take care of myself too. And I got blessed with two other girls, Emme and Emilia. Now I'm wealthier than I've expected. I've never imagined to be this wealthy. I didn't date Jennifer for money though. She's offered me all the time to help because she liked me so much I guess. She cared for me and Sofia a lot and her and Sofia bonded so quick. It wasn't like that for me and Emme at first but we fixed that problem and now she loves me. I'm so lucky they're a part of my life.
