New Begins

Exploring

We got up early the next morning to drive around so I can get to know where everything is. We drove by the grocery store by our apartment, then the studio where I would be working. The daycare is not that far from my work. We parked in a parking spot and went in. I wanted to know where my kids would be when I'm at work. We walked to the front office to see where to go from here.

"May I help you?" An older woman with white hair asked.

"Yes, my kids will be starting here tomorrow and I'm getting use to the area today. I wanted to get everything taken care of today."

"What are your kids names and ages?"

"Sydney Ray Jones, she is four. Hunter William Jones, he is one."

"What are their birthdays address, and a number to reach you." The woman asked typing everything into the computer.

"Sydney's is July 17th, 2010. Hunter's is December 6th, 2012. Our address is 136th south 3rd apartment number 16. My number is 469-549-6127."

"Okay, is there an emergency number?"

"Not anyone that can make it here."I said looking at my kids.

"Okay, what time will you be dropping them off?"

"Six a.m."

"Okay, if you follow me, I will show your their rooms and who will be watching them." We walked to the second door on the right. "This will be where Hunter stays. Stacey this is Britney. Hunter will be here tomorrow."

"How are you, Britney and Hunter?" Stacey asked.

"We're good." I told her

"Is there anything I should know?"

"Nope, Hunter is a good kid. You shouldn't have any problems with him at all."

"That's good. I'll let you go, and I will see you guys tomorrow." Stacey said

"Thank you, Stacey." The older woman said. We walked three more doors down. "Lisa, this is Britney, and Sydney. Sydney will be here tomorrow."

"Hi, Sydney. Do you like princess'?" Lisa asked with a smile

"Yes! I love Elsa!" Sydney yelled jumping up and down.

"That's awesome! We love to play princess' here." Lisa told Sydney.

"Momma, I can't wait till tomorrow!" Sydney yelled

"That's good baby."

"Alright, we will see you guys tomorrow." The older women said.

"Thank you, and we will be seeing you." I said taking Sydney's hand and walked to our truck We drove to go get something to eat I'm starving. I decided on this really cute diner in between our apartment and the daycare. We walked in and I put Hunter in a high chair.

"Hey y'all. I'm Misty and I'll be your waitress today. How are y'all doing this afternoon?" The bubbly waitress asked.

"We are good, how are you?"

"I'm good hon. What can I get y'all to drink?" Misty asked getting her pen and pad ready.

"What do you want to drink, Sydney?"

"Pop!" Sydney yelled.

"Okay, the two babies get sprite and I'll have a coke." I told her smiling.

"I'll be right back with your drinks."

  While I was looking over the menu I heard the bell over the door went off, I looked up to see Luke Bryan himself with his two adorable boys.

"Mommy, Luke!" Sydney said pointing at him.

"Sydney Ray! It's not nice to point." I told her.

"Sorry mommy, it's Luke Bryan your man." Sydney said loud enough for everyone to hear. I looked up to see Luke Staring at me smiling, as him and the boys sat down at the table next to ours.

"Here's your drinks." Misty said putting them down.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. Luke I will be with y'all in a minute. What can I get y'all to eat?"

"I'll have a cheese burger with everything and fries. Both kids will have chicken tenders and fries."

"Alright, I'll put your order right in after I get their order." She said walking over to Luke. "The usual?"

"For me yes. Bo wants a corndog and fries, and Tate wants chicken tenders and fries."

"Can I get y'all anything else?"

"I'll take her ticket." Luke said pointing at me.

"No, you don't have to do that." I told him.

"I want to." Luke said smiling.

"Thank you." I said smiling back.

"Your welcome, Darlin." Luke said making me melt on the inside.

Sadly that's all the talking we did. I was happy to see Luke in person, but he won't remember me. That night I got the kids ready for bed cause we have to be up early. I laid Hunter down in his bed and kissed him good night. I went into Sydney's room to see her crying on her bed.

"What's wrong baby girl?" I said picking her up.

"When's daddy coming back? I miss him."

"I know you do, baby." How do you tell a four year old that her daddy messed up, so I left with the kids. He tried making it up to me but I wouldn't have it. Now he's trying to prove himself by joining the army, I don't know how to tell her.

"When's granny and papaw going to be here?" Sydney asked taking the attion off of her daddy.

"They will be here in a month to celebrate your fifth birthday."

"Really? I can't wait."

"I know baby girl. But you need to lay down and get some sleep."

"Okay, mommy. I love you."

"I love you too." I said giving her a goodnight kiss.
