The Better Half Of Me

Sick and sicker

"Cleo baby..time to get up.." I knock gently on her door, making my way to the side of the little girls bed. She yawns and eventually stirs till she awakens, sitting up from her warm sheets "I don't wanna go mommy.." she whined

I nodded, "I know baby but once you get there and all your friends are there, you'll be excited" I assure her, carrying her over to her bathroom "meet me downstairs once your dressed okay honey?" I ask. She nods this time, allowing me to leave the bathroom and pick her outfit out for her, lying it on her bed

I head downstairs to the kitchen where Neilson sat at the table of freshly cooked food "you know you left your clothes in the washer, right?" He smirked as he saw me enter. My eyes widened, "No! I completely forgot!" I gasp. He chuckled, "don't worry..Mandy took care of it.." he bit into a piece of crunchy bacon

I sat down with a huff, "we have a busy day today..I need to have a meeting with our CFO and whoever can help me look into extending the company" I inform him. He pouts, "you're really looking into going over there?" He asked

I nodded, "I don't wanna be away from him anymore..I'd feel too bad making him the one to give his life up to move here..I already sprung a child on him..and then another child.." I reply "mama who are you? You are a boss ass bitch and he is lucky to be with you. And I know for a fact, for. A. Fact. That he is so in love with you that he would move to the Australian outback if you wanted him too. You got the ability to make anything happen, you aren't springing a family onto him at all. If he didn't want to have a family with you, he wouldn't have proposed to you even though you aren't boyfriend and girlfriend, he wouldn't have flown up to meet her and he would've worn a Condom the second time round" he sassed

I heard a small laugh, "you see the thing is, Lucas would probably quite like Australia" Farkle chuckled as he entered the room with Riley "but Neilson is right, lucas is so in love with you" Riley added

I sighed softly "I'm not sure..I guess you're right..I still wanna talk to them though..Riley how are you finding it?" I ask, completely changing the subject. She beamed, "I love it! Neilson has been showing me around while you were away and my office is so close to yours I'm coming in for lunch everyday!" She replied happily

"Hey and me, what am I third now?" Neilson sassed again playfully. "No you aren't third you are-" I was cut off by the kitchen door being pushed open "mommy! I'm ready!" Cleo stated loudly, climbing up onto the chair beside me "good girl, have some breakfast and then Neilson will take you to school" I reply, stroking the back of her head gently

"Morning mini money!" Neilson greeted from across from her "good morning Neilson! And Aunty Riley and uncle Farkle" she chewed on a strawberry with a giggle "morning cutie" Riley replied with the same smile as always

She had soon finished, allowing Neilson to lead Cleo out to the main room "goodbye baby! Ill see you after school okay..I love you" I crouch down to her level, holding the small girl that smelt like raspberry's in my arms. "Okay mommy! I love you too! Bye uncle Farkle and Aunty Riley!" She waved, taking Neilsons hand, "see you soon ladies" he replied before leading her away

I stood up too quickly, a rush flowing to my head and then back down to my stomach causing a churning sensation. I groaned, "not again" I whine, walking as fast as I could in these louboutins to the closest bathroom, dropping down to the toilet

There goes my breakfast.

I felt hands hold my hair back, stroking my back soothingly "feel better now?" Farkle asked quietly. I nodded, reaching for the flush "Maya move!" Riley quickly joined me on the floor, however I managed to escape before she threw up herself.

I rose to my feet, wiping my mouth as Farkle held back Riley's hair this time "seeing you sick made me sick" she stayed with head head half in the bowl still. I giggled, "I'm sorry riles..at least we get to go through this together.." I reply

She nods, reaching for the flush and standing with Farkles help, "we're gonna look at places to live tomorrow..get our own place.." she replied "and I'm gonna transfer to be the owner of the New York branch of Minkus International" Farkle added proudly

I smiled wide, "aw guys! That's so amazing!...the place below is up for rent.." I wiggle my eyebrows. Riley's has dropped, "Farkle I want it" she gasped. We laughed again, making our way back out to the main room "we'll see" he replied

"Okay..ready for work?" I ask the brunette. She nodded, "yep..ready to throw up in the office toilets.." she muttered, grabbing her handbag.
