"I'm Sorry." (Katelyn x reader)

Chapter 3

(Y/n).
I grab my phone annoyed right now. Whoever was calling me was going to hear my mouth. I signed off on another piece of paper. It's now Katelyn's week with Emersyn. So I don't know why the hell she was calling me. Rolling my eyes, I answer the FaceTime. "I'm kinda busy Katelyn," I say. "Mama," my sweet baby signs. "Oh, it's you honey. I'm sorry. I thought it was Mommy," I say. "Mama, Mommy is sick. You got to help Mommy," Emersyn exclaims! I lick my lips. Checking the time. "Okay, baby girl. I'll be there in a little bit okay," I say. Emersyn smiles widely before waving bye. I chuckle. Getting myself ready to leave. This was my company anyway. I could leave at whatever time I wanted. I notified my secretary that I was leaving early today. He nods and I head out. I need to stop at a pharmacy first to grab some medicine. And then a grocery store to grab ingredients for some soup.
Katelyn.
My eyes opened as I felt myself be moved. I looked to see (Y/n). She set me down in my bed. "(Y-Y/n)," I stuttered softly. (Y/n) hummed. Giving me a small smile. She covered me with my blankets. The action spreading warmth in my body. It reminded me of the days when we were together. When she would take care of me. "I got you some medicine. Do you want to take it now?" I nod my head. Pushing myself up so I was sitting. (Y/n) nods her head. Turning away from me. There was the sound of plastic wrinkling. And something being opened. She turned back and handed me one of those measuring medicines cups. Filled with a dark liquid. I look at her skeptically. How old did this girl think I was? "I'm too clumsy for a fucking spoon. So this is the best," she says. I shake my head. Smiling at her. I take the medicine, gagging at the taste. "Th-that ta-tastes like s-shit," I muttered. (Y/n) chuckles softly. Handing me a Gatorade. "It's medicine. Was it suppose to taste like candy?" I roll my eyes. Taking a sip of the Gatorade. I place it on my side table. Before laying back down. "T-Thank y-you," I whisper. (Y/n) shakes her head. "I'm going to help Emersyn with her homework. If you need anything just call my phone okay. I don't want you yelling," (Y/n) says. I nod my head. Letting my eyes slip close. I heard my door close gently. And sighed.
(Y/n).
"Is Mommy okay," Emersyn asked? I nod my head. Smiling at her. "She's fine sweetheart. Mommy is just sleeping," I answered. Setting the girl in my lap. Emersyn looks at me puzzled. "Why?" "Because the medicine made her sleepy. And it's good to go to sleep when you're sick. So your body can get better," I explain. Emersyn looked at me with bright eyes. Hanging on to my every word. "Mommy sleep forever," she ask? I shake my head. Smiling at the girl. "Not forever. Just for an hour or two," I answered. Emersyn nods. "We should color Mommy a picture! Something pretty," she exclaims. I nod. I grab us some paper and some crayons. Before sitting at the table with the girl. Though the doorbell rings. I stand up and grab it. Just to see Lucinda. "(Y/n)! What a surprise to see you!" I give her a smile. "I'm watching Emersyn. Katelyn got sick," I say. Her eyes darkened a little bit. "Does that mean you're taking care of Katelyn also?" I nod my head. Stuffing my hands into the pockets of my hoodie. "Oh. Well when Katelyn gets better, tell her I stopped by." I nod my head.
Katelyn.
I wake up to a savory smell in the air. My stomach growled at the thought. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it down. But I couldn't help it. (Y/n) must be cooking. She was a much better cook than me. I grab a shawl and wrapped it around my shoulders. Before heading downstairs. I find my baby and (Y/n) in the kitchen. (Y/n) making soup. "Mommy!" I smile at Emersyn. Turning my head to cough. "Sit. The soup will be ready soon," (Y/n) says. Using her magic to pull a seat out for me. My cheeks heat up. I sit down. Wrapping my shawl around my body even tighter. A shiver running through my body. "Mommy! Mama and I made drawings!" I smile at my baby. "Did you now?" Emersyn nods. Moving closer to show me the picture. I smile and praise the girl. Her eyes glowing. "Where's the bowls," (Y/n) asked? Turning her head to look at me. I move my hand to point at the third cupboard. (Y/n) nods her head. Grabbing three of them. "Lucinda stopped by. But I'm not too sure she was pleased to see me," (Y/n) remarks. I groan. "Great," I muttered. (Y/n) chuckles. Setting a bowl of soup in front of the two of us. She sits with her own also. I smile as I feel the steam hit me. "I'll take care of it okay. Don't worry about it." Another spread of warmth hit me. Maybe we weren't together. But (Y/n) did have a knack for making all my problems go away. Taking them on herself. Soon we're both alone. (Y/n) cleaning the kitchen for me. "Thank you. You didn't have to take care of me," I whisper. (Y/n) shrugs. "It's the least I could do for you, Kate," she says softly. I nod. Letting my eyes fall to my lap. I fiddle with my hands. "You don't owe me anything you know. I'm the one who caused our divorce also," I whisper. (Y/n) falls silent. I let my eyes glance up when I heard footsteps towards me. She leaned against the table. Tilting my head up to make me look at her. "Yeah we've both done wrong. But I didn't do things the right way. So me taking care of you, taking one of your problems, this is my way of saying sorry okay. Because I have a lot to be sorry for," she says lowly. I nod my head slowly. My tongue coming forward to lick my lips. I felt speechless with her so close. It felt like time had stopped. "I-I for-forgive you," I whisper finally.
