Rylee's POV

The next weekend I'm running out of my mind trying to get ready for my date. I haven't been on one in so long I don't know what to do with myself. The red dress maybe?

I'm freaking out. Jax is supposed to be getting the kids in fifteen minutes but I'm still not ready and Evan is going to be here in an hour. Plenty of time, I think. I take the hot curlers and put them in my hair before cleaning my face. I'm about to start my makeup when the bathroom door abruptly opens showing me a very happy Lance covered in dirt.

"Lance! Your dad is going to be here soon." I tell him as he laughs. "Look what I found." He tells me as I look in his arms. Oh my fucking god, a kitten, a solid gray kitten. The only cat the kids had ever known was Bee, and he passed away two years ago.

"Lance where did you find that?" I ask wiping my face as I adjust my tank top and shorts. "Outside mama!" He tells me as I take the little thing out of his arms. It looks newborn, and the mom is probably wondering where it is.

"Come show me, baby," I tell him pulling his hand with me out the bathroom door to the patio door. I see the evidence of the dirt when the siding on the side of the house has been messed with.

"Daddy used to go down there and spray for bugs all the time but I hear meows so I went down there. There's more mama." He tells me as I palm my forehead with a small kitten in my arms. I hear Jax's truck doors as he pulls into the garage and comes around the back.

"Jax" I spit out as he follows the sound of my voice. He ruffles Lance's hair when he runs up and hugs him before looking at my hands and Lance's clothing.

"Want to take a guess at what your son did?" I ask as he laughs. He looks at my hair rollers before staring at my whole body.

"Maybe. Where are you going?" He asks as I sigh. "None of your business. Out with the girls. Now, will you please go down there and get the kittens out so I can take them to the no-kill shelter." I tell him as he laughs.

"Why would I do that?" He asks crossing his arms as Lance looks at his and does the same thing.

"Because he did and almost gave me a heart attack. What if there was a snake down there or some sh- stuff, you've lived the longest not Lance or me, it's a natural selection if you die. Now in you go." I tell him pulling him to the side.

"If I do this we don't get a divorce." He tells me as I glare at his head. "You should be medicated. We're done, this will be your house in about a month anyway, so I suggest you get them now." I tell him as he glares at me.

"Ry-" he goes to start as I shake my head no. "No. I'm not living here anymore and I'm not doing this when I've got other stuff to do." I spit out as I look down at Lance staring at us. He doesn't deserve this at all.
