I was the day Tessa was coming home from her tour.She was on her tour bus heading home she was watching videos of Cadence and Cassie Mariah sent her every day so she could see them
It was a video of Cadence and Cassie eating dinner. Mariah's voice was heard in the video
"As you can see they are eating dinner"she giggled"Cady seems to be enjoying her noodles, while Cassie just likes putting the on her head"Mariah laughed"Can we show Mama what we learned today,can you say Hi Mama"she told the then a few seconds later Cassie gave the smallest wave "Well I know this isnt a big milestone Tessa but its so cute"she said "Cady hasn't picked on in yet"she told her "Say Love you Mama and miss you"
Tessa was smiling it hasn't been that long and she couldn't believe how much those girls have grown.She missed them so It helped that Mariah sent the videos and pictures but she missed holding them and giving them kisses. She decide to call Mariah
"Hello"Mariah answered
"Hey Baby it's me I wanted to call and tell you I'm on my way home to girls"
"That's good,how much longer do you think"she asked
"Probably another two hours hoping we don't hit traffic. I can't wait to see you and the girls. Are they napping"she asked
"Um yes,i just put the down a few minutes ago,they should be up by the time you get home"
Tessa could sense something was off with Mariah just by the tone of her voice"Hey Mar, are you alright"she asked
"Yes I'm good,just cleaning the house to pass the time"she told her"The girls are going ot be so happy to see their Mama"she said changing the subject
Tessa smiled "I can't wait to hold them and you"she said
:"Look I hate to cut this call short but I got to do somethings before you get home,so I'll see you soon"she said
"Alright,I'll see you soon,love you"
"I love you too"Mariah hung up
Mariah looked over at the girls who were wide awake in their car seats"I think that was the first time I have ever lied to your Mama"she said trying not to cry"So who wants to go see Grandma"she said as she played with their hands
Mariah pulled into Sharon's driveway and looked in the back at the girls and took a deep breath.She got them out of the car and set them in front of the steps and sat down in front of them
"My girls"she smiled at them"This is probably the last time we are together for a while"she looked at them just looking at her"Mommy is so sorry but I can't be your Mommy right now. I tried to be the Mommy you deserve, but I love you both so much and I know you Mama is going to be there for you two the way i can't"she started crying"Cadence Noel and Cassie Joy I want you two to know you are the best part of who I am and what I'm about to do I'm doing because I love. I just hope your Mama can forgive me one day"she was stroking their faces"I just hope this isn't forever"she smiled"Come on lets go see grandma"she picked up their car seats and knocked on the door
Sharon answered"Hey this is a nice surprise come on in"she took Cadence from Mariah and step aside to let Mariah in
"I hope it's ok we stopped by"
"Of course it is"Sharon said with a smile
"I was wondering if you could watch the girls for a bit just until Tessa comes home, I just need a little time alone with her"
"Of course I'll always say yes to spend time with my grand babies"she smiled at them
"Thank you"she hugged her"I love you Mom"
