Life changes.

Bedtime.

I am taking Alex to the doctor again today. He is suppose to get his arm cast off today. Hopefully everything is good and it can come off. I walk downstairs in my jeans and tight straight across tank top. Having two kids my boobs are bigger and for some reason today they are wanting to show it. I had no option no matter what I put on, they were showing. I walk to the door and put on my flip flops. “Alex, let’s go.” Coming around the corner hobbling he waves his arm, “I’m coming, I’m coming.” I laugh and he starts my way still. “Come on.” He stops in front of me, “Stop mothering me, I am coming. I swear I feel like one of your kids lately.” I laugh, “I’m sorry, sometimes it is hard to turn it off.” He shrugs as we start to the car, “I know but its weird Ally. I have slept with you, I don’t want you to mother me.” I nod and stop on my side of the car, “I am sorry Alex, I really didn’t even know I was doing it.” He smiles, “Its okay.” Getting in I start the car and head for the doctors.

Pulling into the parking lot I find a parking spot and park. “Do you want me to come in with you?” He smiles, “Na, it should be quick.” I nod and smile, “Good luck.” I watch him get out of the car and hobble into the doctor. I grab my nook and start to read my book. I am two pages in when my phone starts ringing. I pick it up and put it against my ear, “Hello?” I hear him laugh, “Baby, what are we doing for dinner?” I put my nook on sleep and close the cover. “I don’t know. I am at the doctor with Alex. I guess we can do pizza.” He laughs, “I will order when I get off the phone.” I smile, “What have you guys been up to?” He laughs, “Aubrey is screaming that she is hungry and Aiden is working on rolling over still.” I laugh and smile, “Awe my baby is growing up.” He laughs, “I am going to order the pizza. See you soon baby. I love you.” I hang up and place my phone in my cup holder and bend down to put the nook back in my purse. I bend back up and see Alex coming out. I get out and he meets me in front of the car and wraps his arms around me. “I am so happy the cast is off.” I smile and watch him fist pump the air. “Come on, Austin is ordering pizza.” He smiles and hobbles to his side of the car and gets in as I get in on my side and start the car before heading home.

I pull into the driveway and watch as Alex gets out and starts up the small steps. I walk behind him and into the house to see Austin walking into the kitchen with pizza boxes. “You just missed the pizza guy.” I laugh and walk into the kitchen to get plates. Alex comes in holding Aubrey on his hip. I shake my head, “Aren’t you suppose to take it easy so you don’t chance breaking your arm again?” he shrugs, “This is easy. She isn’t heavy.” Aubrey giggles and leans in and kisses his cheek, “Love you uncle Alex.” I look at her and so does Austin and Alex. Alex smiles, “You are getting so good at speaking.” He puts her down in the chair, “I cant believe she is speaking so well for only being two.” I nod, “I know.” I walk away to get Aiden. I walk into the living room and see Aiden trying to roll over still. I laugh and then I watch as he rolls over, “AUSTIN!” Austin comes running into and runs right into the couch, “What’s wrong?” I smile wide and shake my head, “Nothing, look.” I fix Aiden so he is on his back again and Austin watches while Aiden tries to roll over again and then he does. Austin smiles wide, “He is growing up so much.” He comes over and wraps an arm around me and kisses my forehead.

Alex comes in and smiles, “Hate to ruin this but Aubrey is complaining that she is hungry.” I laugh and step away from Austin and grab Aiden.  I walk into the kitchen with Aiden in my arms, “I’m sorry sweetie, Your brother was doing something.” She crosses her arms and pouts, “Whatever. I hungry.” I smile and nod. “I’ll get you some food baby.” I walk to the pizza box and get out a piece and start to cut it up. I hand her the plate and then I put Aiden in his high chair and start to feed him some baby food.

Austin comes in with Alex and make a plate and they start to eat. Once Aiden is done I leave him in his chair and make myself a plate and start to eat. Aubrey looks at me, “I done.” I smile, “That’s good baby.” Alex stands up and grabs her plate and then looks at me, “I can get her ready for bed if you want?” I look up at him and then Austin and back at Alex, “That would help a lot. Thank you.”  He walks over to Aubrey, “Lets go get a bath.” She shakes her head and he bends down and smiles, “The tickle monster is going to get you.” She looks at him and he starts to tickle her and she start giggling and trying to push him away, “Okay.” He smiles, “Good, Come on.” He picks her up and walks out of the kitchen and heads upstairs to bath her.

I look at Austin as he gets up and puts his plate in the sink, “Its nice having some help around here isn’t it.” He shrugs and turns to look at me, “We have Hanna just we gave her the month off because we were off of school.” I nod, “I know I meant at night when we are trying to eat and get them fed and ready for bed.” He shrugs again and walks over giving me and quick kiss. “I know what you mean Ally and its nice that Alex is helping but we don’t need him or his help.” Grabbing Aiden he walks out and I sigh.

Finishing my food quickly I put my plate in the dishwasher and put the rest of the pizza in the fridge. Going upstairs I hear singing. I turn and walk into Aiden’s room and see him asleep  in bed with his night light off. I sigh and turn his night light on and kiss his forehead. I pull the door up and walk across the hall and peak in and see Alex dancing around and singing to Aubrey. She giggles then rubs her eyes, “Tired uncle Alex.” He smiles and kisses her forehead, “Okay, lets get you to bed then.” He puts her in bed and turns on her night light and reaches over and grabs her favorite doll that she sleeps with. Austin cant even get that one right. I smile and walk, “Hey baby.” She smiles, “Momma, Uncle sing.” I laugh, “Well hopefully he did good.” She nods and I lean down and kiss her. “Sleep tight baby girl.” She wraps her arms around me, “I love you momma.” I smile, “I love you too baby.” I walk out the door and Alex comes out a minute later and pulls the door up and smiles, “She is amazing.” I laugh and nod, “I know she amazes me all the time.” He hugs me and pulls away, “Night Ally.” I smile, “Night Alex.” He heads for the steps and stops and turns around to look at me, “Should I be expecting a late night talk?” I laugh and shake my head, “Not tonight.” He nods and walks down the steps.

I walk into my room and see Austin in bed with wet hair, “You took a shower.” He nods, “Aiden spit up on me.” I nod, “Did you tell Aubrey goodnight?” He sighs, “I forgot. “ I look at him, “Are you serious Austin, You forgot to tell your daughter goodnight.” He sighs, “I forgot Ally. Its only one night. I think she will be fine.” Turning over he closes his eyes and tries to fall asleep. Shaking my head I take my jeans off and throw on a pair of shorts and get in bed and roll on my side away from him and turn off the lamp. Closing my eyes I try to fall asleep but I am mad. What father forgets to kiss his daughter and tell her goodnight?

Hope you like it.
