The consequence ( sequel to the price of love)

Chapter 40

BRITTANY'S POV

Life was peaceful. In the good way, not the way where it seemed as tho something would go wrong. It was quiet at home. People going in and out of the tower on missions or just....relaxing at home. That's all we did anymore.

Did I miss being on missions?

Yes! But I couldn't just go on a mission while the babies are still babies.

Today was one of those days where all you did was watch Netflix and eat. But it was the best day. Nick was gone to work for the day but he was getting three weeks off sometime next month.

I was currently lying on the couch, a few bags of chips and scattered chocolate wrappers on the coffee table in front of me. The tv was on and some stupid reality tv show was on. The only reason I was watching it was because I was dozing off and I was too lazy at the moment to change it.

My eyes were slowly closing and I was on the verge of entering the dream land when a cry filled my ears. It was coming from the kids room.

Great. Gweneveire ALWAYS wakes up in between her naps.

I pulled myself up lazily and started to walk towards her room. I've been getting even more and more tired since I gave birth. But I assume it's just something that happens with parents when they have kids that constantly wake them up in the middle of the night.

Lucky nick sleeps like a rock. Unless, someone breaks in but it seems he's un wake able when it comes to babies cries.

I pushed the door open slowly and sighed heavily, seeing the baby crying her head off.
" come here." I muttered, picking her up and placing her on my shoulder.

Making my way to the living room, I patted her back and soothed her. I sat on armchair and talked sweet words to her until my phone rang.

" hello?" I asked.

Nick answered.

" I'm uh...gonna have to skip out on supper tonight."

" why?"

" I've got some business to attend to."

" nick we've been over this. Work or not, you come home for supper on Sundays."

A heavy sigh sounded across the phone.

" I know Brittany. But give me a break. I need to get this done and then I'll be back by midnight."

" give you a break?!? Nick, I need help. I'm trying to raise three babies by myself. And it seems as if their dad is never there! If you keep working constantly it'll seem like they have no dad!"

" I'm trying Brittany. I'm really trying. Just give me tonight to redeem myself-"

" you know what? You can redeem yourself by sleeping on the couch tonight."

" but-"

I hung up the phone and threw it on the couch.

The only problem about a man who works constantly. They get on something and they can't stop. They can't give up until every thing and every back up of it is finished. It makes me sick!

I stood up and realized Gweneveire was asleep. I carefully brought her into the room and laid her in her crib. She moved slowly in her sleep but stayed asleep.

Then I walked into the kitchen to work on supper. This, would take a while.
