"ma hurry uppp." lyla groans as i attempt to put her messy curls in a ponytail.
"love, stop moving please so this can go much faster." i remove my hands from her hair when she starts to cry.
i sigh and look over at vinnie walking through the door. "HII DAD!!" lyla runs up to vinnie as he catches her. "hey princess. were you crying?" he questions her.
"noo.." she looks down.
"baby, please let mommy do your hair. she knows what she's doing?" she looks up at him with her beady eyes.
"but i don't do want to." she begins to kick in his arms.
"ly don't. listen or you're going to timeout." once he says that, she stops and rests her head in the crook of his neck.
"cmon baby, let mom do your hair and then we can play. okay?" he tries to persuade her.
"DEAL!" she giggles and jumps out his arms, sitting in between my lap again.
i begin to wet her hair and she tries to pull her head away from me. "ly, please try to stay still."
"this is why i like daddy better." i hear her mumble. i look over at vinnie who looks unamused.
"uh uh. that's not okay lyla. come here, you're going to timeout." vinnie grabs our daughter's arm and puts her in a corner.
"SEE MOMMY YOU GOT ME IN TROUBLE!" she yells as she faces the wall.
"girl, don't talk to me. you're facing a wall right now." i laugh at her.
"and you, y/n, don't argue with a toddler." vinnie looks at me.
"she gets on my nerves." i say.
"and who's fault is that? she's literally a mini you. you can't get mad." he laughs.
"i CAN get mad at you for not pulling out." i mumble to myself.
"i heard that." he kisses my forehead and walks out the room.
"did daddy leave?" i hear lyla from the corner.
"yes he did ly."
"FINALLY HOE!" she giggles and runs up to me.
"aht aht, go back to the corner and don't say that." i push her back to the corner.
"but you say it." she pouts.
"and i'm grown, you're not."
"YOU A HOE. HOE HOE HOE HOE HOE HOE!" she repeats. "lyla hacker, say that one more time and you're getting a whooping." i scold.
she turns back around and stays quiet.
"hoe." i hear her mumble. i keep my cool and go downstairs to talk to vinnie.
"how was our child, hoe?" he asks. i shoot him a stare making him stop laughing. "vinnie, what the hell are we gonna do with her? she's so spoiled and doesn't know how to act."
"and who's fault is that?" he raises an eyebrow.
"don't blame this on me. we're BOTH her parents." i cross my arms.
"i'll go talk to her." he walks upstairs.

i open the door and see lyla crying. "what's wrong angel?" i place her on my lap.
"mommy doesn't love me anymore." i furrow my eyebrows and try to get her hands away from her face so i can talk to her.
"mommy does love you ly. she always will."
"but she doesn't. she never plays with me anymore and she always seems tired." my heart aches at the fact our daughter thinks that. y/n has been working a lot more than usual because she got promoted to CEO of the hospital.
lyla just doesn't know why or understands why.
"lyla, you know she only works to provide for you, right? she loves you a lot and fun fact, she loves you more than me." i say making her burst into a fit of laughter.
"who wouldn't." she hops of my lap and runs downstairs. i laugh at her sudden mood change, completely reminding me of y/n.

i hear loud, little steps run down the stairs and see lyla run into me before i can even do or say anything.
"i'm sorry mommy. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry." she rocks my leg back and forth.
i pick her up and look at her like she's crazy. "you have nothing to be sorry for."
"but i do. i got- got- mad because i thought you didn't love me anymore because you're always working and you don't play with me anymore. but daddy told me it's because you love me."
"oh and because you love me more than him." she whispers the last part. i laugh at the rose tint on her cheeks and hug her tightly.
"are my two favorite girls finally good again?" i hear. both lyla and i look at vinnie who's smiling at us. "HEY. THIS IS MOMMY AND DAUGHTER TIME. GET OUT!" lyla points her finger.
"i'm getting out. i'm getting out." he puts his hands up and walks out the kitchen.
"i love you mama." she kisses all over my face.
"uh huh i love you too ly."
