My Little Secret C.H

CHAPTER TWO

*Nat's POV*

As I held the small little girl in my arms I couldn't help but smile. She stayed the night with Katie last night so it was weird not having her around and I'm very happy she's back. Even tho I don't 100% like how our lives turned out I wouldn't trade my princess for anything. "Hi my angle. Did you have fun with aunt Katie?" She stood on her tippy toes kissing my cheek lightly. "Yes I always do mommy." I smile at her little lisp she had.. Just like her daddy. "I'm so glad baby! I got your breakfast heating up so why don't you take your night close upstairs while I talk to aunt Kate ok?" She shook her head yes lightly as I kissed her. Her little feet made there way up the stairs as my beautiful sister walks in smiling over to at Kaylee.

My sister turned and gave me a look of pity. The look most people give me due to them knowing my struggles. I'm a great mom but being a single mom is definitely not the easiest position in the world. Having to work almost all day, everyday day, while my sister watches Kaylee constantly, paying every bill by myself, keeping food on the table and trying to keep my little girl happy is all put on me, and me only. Don't get me wrong my sister helps so much! And never asks for a penny which is very helpful. I don't know what I would be doing without her.

"How you doing sis?" I swear she asks that every-time she comes by and every time I have to keep myself from rolling my eyes. "Like usual Kate. How was she last night?" I ask as I walk over to the cabinet getting out two plates and a sippy cup for her juice. "Same free loving little girl like always." I smile to myself feeling very proud I have such a happy baby girl. The pop-tarts finally pop up meaning time for food! "Kaylee! Breakfast!" I yell walking and placing her plate on the table. After waiting a few moments and not getting any answer I yell again, "Kaylee Joy Jones! Get down here please!" Walking over to the fridge I notice my sister making a face. "What's with the face?" I glance over while pouring Kaylee her pink juicy, my sister, still making her face states , "That name." I sigh turning to her. "Kate even been other this." I watch as she rolls her eyes.

I restrain myself from snapping at her and let her walk her grumpy butt to the living room. Kate always gives me crap for Kaylee's full name because of her middle name Joy. I didn't want Kaylee to have the last name Hood due to that being obvious to who the father was which has remained a secret from everyone except Katie and close friends. I felt a little guilty when I decided I wasn't going to have Hood as her last name for reasons I'm not sure about. I wanted the Hood family to be apart of her somehow. So I choose Joy due to the many things that sweet women did for me when my parents left me and Kate behind while me and Calum were together. I'm not gonna say I don't miss that family because they were the closest thing I had to one after that.

My thoughts were cut off by my little girl talking to me, "Mommy can I have my juicy?" I smile walking over to her seeing the blueberry filling all over her face. "Sorry baby mommy was distracted. Here you go." I make sure the lid is on nice and tight while handing her the cup. "Are you gonna eat with me mommy?" I glance over the time realizing it was time for me to start getting ready for my work day. "I'm sorry baby mommy can't this morning. Gotta get ready for work." I could see the sadness in my baby's eyes. She's only 2 but she knows that mommy's not around much and it kills me but I don't have a choice I would be home with her all day if I could. I sigh leaning down leaving a kiss on her head.

Making my way upstairs is dreading to me due to the fact I don't wanna go. Working as a waitress is a very tedious job. But due to me getting pregnant at 18 I didn't go to college so it was the job I was stuck with. When I got to my room I took in my appearance with the mirror on my desk, sighing, I grabbed my make up to cover up the dark bags under my eyes. Deciding to get dressed I walked to my closet grabbing the same clothes I wear everyday, black leggings, white button up shirt, and a black apron. After slipping on my shoes I sit back down in front of my mirror putting my long, blond hair into a side braid and spraying some perfume on me. Looking at my reflection one last time I said to myself, "Let's get this day over with."

Walking down the stairs holding my purse, car keys, and water bottle I glance into Kaylee's room to see her not in there so I just continue  down the steps making my way to the living room. When I get to the bottom of the steps I see Kaylee no longer at the table but playing with her dolls on the living room floor. I walk over to her leaning down to her level, "Bye baby mommy will see you later ok?" I got no response just a sad little look to the ground. I sigh standing back up and walking to the door opening it lightly walking out while stating I loved them both. The guilt consuming me with every step I took while thinking, "Damn you Calum."
