Chasing The Impractical (Brian Quinn Story)

Good Luck - Apollonia

"It's your turn" Q grunted as I rolled over in bed to check the clock. 3am.

Groaning I pulled myself out of bed and walked into Henry's room. This was the 5th time tonight I had to see to our crying new born. Once I had finally picked him up, he stopped crying and fell back to sleep. I knew the moment I put him back down, he would onlynstart crying again, so I sat back in the the big comfy chair we had placed in his room and held him against my chest. I still couldn't believe I was a mom and to such a beauitful baby boy.

Later that day Brian had left to go filming and Bella was at school. Today was my first official day alone with Henry.

"Right Mr. It's just you and mommy today. We got this" I announced as I tried to get Henry to feed.

After 30 minutes of failing to get him to feed from me, I gave up and went to make some formula. Henry was 5 weeks old now and if still not managed to breast feed, each time I tried I ended up feeling more like a failure.

I spent the rest of the day writing and cuddling with Henry. By the time Q came home with Bella, I was completely spent.

"What's for dinner?" Q asked as he flopped down into the sofa and kicked off his shoes.

"I dunno babe, why don't you go see what you fancy cooking?" I bite back annoyed.

"Come on, I've been filming all day" he groaned, still not looking away from the TV.

"And I've been looking after a crying new born all day. This isn't the 1950s Q, you can make dinner".

"Yeah, but staying at home isn't exactly working. Why don't ya order a pizza if you don't want to cook" he shrugged and finally turned to face me.

Bella was in the room and I had Henry in my arms so I tried to cool down my raging temper. There was no point arguing, instead I would make dinner and prove him wrong another way.

I created my master plan at teaching Q a lesson over text with Zoe. When everything was planned, I went to bed excited for the next day.

In the morning woke up before everyone and changed Bri's alarm for 6am before writing him a quick note.

Brian,

I love you dearly, so please know I am doing this for your own good.

By the time you are read this, I will be long gone. Today Daddy Q is in charge. Henry needs feeding every 4 hours, the formula and instructions are in the kitchen. Bella needs breakfast and lunch making before she gets on the bus.

I should be home by 8pm, but don't wait up, just in case ;)

Good luck!
