Stef's: POV
I'm so glad that today was Friday
We would be leaving for our trip to blue ridge Mountain. This would be the first time in two years. That we were be able to go
Away as a family. Lena was the one who always travel, with our to children. Everything was set
I was just waiting my wife to get home. The kids were already packed and ready, l went to the store earlier to get some sandwiches and snacks for the road. We have a long ride in ahead of us. We were taking the SUV, cause our luggage and stuff
Lena called a hour ago. And she was on her way from work, she had meeting to attend to.
That was the hold up, her boss
Paige. Was a sweet and lovely woman, she would always invite over around the holidays. Sometimes she could be demanding at times, she knew how much Lena loved her family
Paige told us once, she considers us as daughters. Since she never had children of her own, this made Lena emotional. But I knew how sensitive my wife was
Since my mother in law passed two years ago from a brain tumor. Her death took us all by surprise. Dana was a healthy woman, we had our moments over the years. Lena was her only child. That Stuart and her had
Stuart never remarried after dana passed, Lena took it hard
Luckily my mother was able to come down for the funeral and help us out, she stayed with us for a month. The kids were excited to see their grandma
I remember when my dad died ten years ago. Frank never approve in my lifestyle. That put a strain on our relationship, Stuart always treated me like his daughter. I was thankful for him
He always made me feel like I belong.Lena's: POV
I was on my way out of the university. When one of my students needed my help with something. I told my TA to handle it, cause I had to get home
Earlier cause we were leaving for our trip. I think God for Courtney for stepping up in helping me, she's been with me since her freshman year.
She knows how much my family means to me. I used to be her teacher a few years ago, as l make my way toward the parking garage. Where my car is at, l already text Stef that I was on my way home. I unlocked
My vehicle and put my bag,
In the back seat. Then I got my car, and started the ignition
And pulled out the parking lot
It takes me about forty five minutes to get home. to shower and change clothes, Stef has already have our luggage in the trunk of SUV. We have plenty of money set aside for this trip, all the bills are paid. For the month
We always pay for everything a month in an advance, l do all the grocery shopping and cooking for a family. Once we return from our vacation, l have to take the kids shopping for their summer clothes. Brandon would be gone for most of the summer,
Frankie on the other hand.
Will have Mari down to visit us
I spoke with Mariana's mom already about enrolling the girls
In dance camp. Cause there's no way in hell, I'm leaving home by themselves. Plus neither Stef or myself would be there. I had to pay twelve hundred dollars for both of them, to go. Mariana is like a daughter to us, the camp is a over night for three weeks. At first Frankie wasn't going to, l told her she doesn't much of a choice in the matter. Her other was go down to Florida where Sharon lives at, she made up her mind real quick. So Mariana is coming in two weeks, the kids last day in school is next week,
Brandon leaves the following week. Everybody is leaving from the school, Stef and decided to get him a reloadable credit card and put money on to it. Brandon has always been a responsible young man when to saving his money. Both of our children have cell phones in case of emergencies. Everyone has their own electronic devices laptops, kindles, as soon as I pull up in the driveway of our house. Stef is putting more stuff in the trunk
Frankie is to young handle her money right now, we figured when she's around thirteen
We won't play favorites. When it comes to disciplining our kids
Frankie has Stef's attitude, and Brandon is like me laid back and chilled, they both have Stef's blonde hair mixed with brown
But have my skin tone. They shared their father's musical talent. We never meet our donor before, we chose to be anonymous. Due the process of me getting pregnant they used of Stef's since she couldn't carry, l didn't want her to feel left out
Our kids are not twins, we picked the same donor twice along with
Stef's eggs, there were some left over from the last time. I got out my car, and went straight in the house to say hi to the kids. Then I went to take a quick shower,
