29—Renleigh Kensington

I was exhausted.

I haven't felt so worn out in a really long time. My mind was everywhere. Some parts were at the house, some parts were at work, some parts were with my daughter and some parts were trying to keep my relationship going. I was so busy and I didn't know what to cancel out first to sort everything out. Realistically, I couldn't leave the house alone, I couldn't take time off of work, I had to take care of my kid and I also needed to put effort into what I had with Harry.

But as I sat there and tried to nurse Leila to sleep, the tears just couldn't stop flowing. It was mostly from stress and lack of sleep. She constantly cried and didn't want to stop. She wouldn't eat and even if she did, she'd only stay on the tit for half an hour before she'd scream again.

Harry was in the shower, probably for the first time in three days, simply because we didn't have the time to deal with things. That was new. For the most part, we'd done well with parenting and keeping our life going. But then something fell and ruined the whole schedule we had. It happened suddenly so we weren't prepared, clearly.

I probably had too much on my plate and that was my fault. I wasn't in the same situation as four years ago. I wasn't on my own. I had other people to care for and other things to work on. It wasn't just my business and I. In theory, everything seemed fine and doable. Then it came to actually doing everything and it all failed.

Well, nothing failed because I was still standing, Harry was still standing, our house was still standing and our businesses were still standing. But it was hard, you know? Being everywhere at the same time was humanly impossible.

And yes. We could have asked for help from our families and friends. But that wasn't us. We were too stubborn and too determined to make it work on our own. It was Harry and me against everything which was a new challenge. We haven't had to face so many things at the same time but it was clearly making us change and forcing us to work together.

I thought that was good for us.

We'd always had trouble settling things and keeping on the same page. Now, our main goal was to calm everything down around us and make sure we were happy and pretty much solid. With a baby and a whole house currently being built, we had a lot to get used to but somehow, it all seemed to come at the right time.

Leila was busy eating away as I held her in my arms. It was quiet for ten minutes now. The only noise I could hear was her little sounds as she looked up at me with her big, blue eyes. They started getting darker so I knew they were going to change soon.

"You are causing me so much stress, Little Miss," I spoke to her and she kind of furrowed her eyebrows. It made me chuckle as I moved my leg and crossed the right over the left, my left foot still on the coffee table so I could hold her comfortably. "I was thinking we could go on a walk later, hm? Might take Dax with us."

Well, that all depended on whether or not Harry was able to do that. I couldn't walk a dog and a baby at the same time. Not with Dax's playfulness. He'd randomly start chasing a bird or a squirrel and if that happened, whoever was in control of him, had to chase the damn animal, too. He gave you a proper work out.

"Wait, nevermind," I sighed when I realised we had other things scheduled for today. The top of the list included a shower and then nipping to the grocery store. I wanted to put an order down to get it delivered but with how busy we were all the time, it wouldn't have been convenient at all. "Shopping it is. And then your aunt might be coming over. Your uncle should tag along, too, because he needs to sort his shit out with your dad. Who knows? Plans never go right these days."
