"Be Good, Okay?" I asked holding Tavi's hand as I walked her to her class.

"Of course, mommy." She smiled up at me.

My pretty baby. She was growing up so fast. I hated it.

When we reached her class, I squatted down in front of her and held her hands.

"You're so pretty babygirl, oh my god." I cooed at her.

"Just like you mommy." She smiled leaning into me.

"Give me a kiss." I puckered my lips.

She leaned in and kissed my lips.

"Mwah!" We both said at the same time.

She giggled.

"Okay, well I'll let you go." I said not wanting her to go.

"I'm going to see you after school mommy." She said looking at me.

"Well, no." She looked at me confused. "Daddy is picking you up and you're going to spend some time with him and your brothers." She frowned.

"And what about you?" Her voice changed.

She obviously wasn't too happy about that.

"Mommy isn't going to be there this time." I said squeezing her hands.

Her face had dropped and I could tell she was getting sad.

"But mommy will be here to pick you up from school tomorrow?" I said hoping to get her to smile but she just looked off.

"Tavi," I said sighing. "We talked about this baby girl."

"I don't like this mommy."

I don't either baby. Believe me.

"I know baby, I know." I brought her closer to me and wrapped my arms around her. "But it's all going to be okay."

"Promise?" She held her pinky up to me and pushed her nose against mine.

"I promise." I locked my pinky with hers.

She pulled away and giggled.
