Part written by Jen Says Hi

I was sitting at my desk working. It was a late night in the office. I was trying to get a few more hours in to get a bonus check for that new toy my son wanted. It was tiring to stay so late everyday, but I loved him so much I was willing to go through it.

I was mapping out how I could sort the case files on my computer. My eyes hurt from staring at the bright screen for so long, so I decided a small break wouldn't hurt.
I had been pretty productive that day. If the boss has got his panties in a twist over me slacking, he's probably got nothing else to get mad at.

I leaned back in my chair and sighed staring at the ceiling. My back hurt like hell. Yenzo always told me to straighten my posture or my back would hurt. I didn't bother with it though. But he's always right.
I stretched in my chair groaning. I shouldn't really be relaxing right now. I was so tired I felt like I could just fall face first into my keyboard and let it write my reports for me.

I opened the bottom drawer of my desk and moved some papers around. At the bottom of the drawer, there was a small folded piece of paper with a date written on it.
I grabbed it and unfolded it. It was me and the family. They all looked so cute together.
Yenzo was holding our son Speckle, our daughter Timber was standing next to him, and my son Noah was standing behind Timber and Yenzo.

Yenzo was leaning his head on my shoulder. But I wasn't in the picture. I cut my face out of it. I can't stand to look at myself.

Seeing the ones I loved made me smile to myself. I folded the picture back up and place it back in the drawer, burying it back up with the other papers. I closed the drawer and looked around to make sure no one saw. Then sat back up and started typing again.

The phone on my desk rang startling me. I grabbed it and answered it almost as soon as it rang.
