Tw: swearing,

Edit: I have got to start remembering to put trigger warnings.

Saragon because I don't write enough of it. Anne and Cathy in grade 4, Anne is grade 3, and Kat is in kindergarten

Jane POV
I walk home in the snow, Henry had of course popped his tire and had to take my car, and now I'm walking home in the cold and snow with no gloves or a jacket. I walk up to our house and go to open it but it's locked, and Henry took my car keys which had my house key on it. "Fucking great." I mumble, I had to pick up Anne and Kat from school in 20 minutes.

I sneeze after snow flys up my nose, I look around and saw Catherine, my neighbor and parent to Anne best friend . "Hey! Catherine!" I yell and she looks around, until her eyes land on me. She gives me a small wave and I walk towards her,

"Are you picking up Anna and Cathy today after school?" I ask

"Yeah, why?"

"This isn't normally like me but Henry took my car to work along with my keys and I can't get in my house, and I can't go pick them up." I say

"Are you asking if you can come with me to pick up the kids?"

"And, maybe just stay with you until Henry gets home?" I ask

"Of course you can, I'm not going to make you stay out here in the cold with no jacket or gloves." She says,

"Thank you Catherine. Thank you so much." I say and she nods, she opens her door and motions for me to follow.

10 minutes later

"And, the bathroom is right there." She says and I nod, she was gorgeous in that jumper. Truth is I had liked Catherine since we moved here and Henry was my boyfriend, we hadn't gotten married because I didn't want to. He is Kat and Anne's dad but they don't like him because he's a jerk. "Alright we should probably go or we're gonna be late." Catherine says and I nod.

At school
Me and Catherine stand outside of the car waiting for the kids to walk out. I see Kat holding Anna's hand and Cathy holding Anne's.

"Mommy, why are you with Ms.Catherine?" Kat asks letting go of Anna's hand, I pick her up.

"Dad took my car and my keys so I couldn't come pick you up." I say and she lays her head on my shoulder,

"He always takes your stuff without asking, or without a heads up. Like 'oh hey Jane, I'm taking your car today so make sure you find another way to pick up the kids' or something like that." Anne says, I kiss the top of her head.

"Dads a dummy." Kat says

"Munchkin no name calling." I say

"Mom, she's not wrong," Anne says

"Alright who wants to go home and have hot chocolate?" Catherine asks 

"Wait are we going over to Ms. Catherine's house?" Kat asks and I nod

"We can't get inside the house either." I say and Anne frowns,

"But I have a project at home that's due tomorrow." She says, she was really looking forward to this project because you had to create something creative to show what they've learned before Christmas break.

"I know Annie, and I promise I'll help you finish it as soon as we get home." I say,

"Yeah, and you can help me finish mine." Cathy says and Anne smiles

"Okay." She says and they both walk to the car door, Anna climbs in after them and I set Kat close to Anna.

"Can you hold onto her, like hug her while we're driving?" I ask, Kat was small and still needed a car seat.
