Rat

Dimitri told me to take 4 days off a regular week, and Wednesday just happens to be the start of my work week.

Though it's Wednesday, For me it's Monday.

My assistant immediately starts filling me in on what's happened these past few days.

Apparently the French want to talk out an alliance.

In the Mafia, You definitely don't want to sound too eager, So I simply tell my assistant that the 15 of next month, We'll sit down to talk.

He just simply nods and walks out.

Sighing, I start to work on my laptop.

                                  ~Time skip~

Once the clock hits 2:30, Me and Adelina make out way out of headquarters to go pick up Lev.

Adelina settled down quite a bit, Thank god.

I got there speedy quick and it was 2:57.

I walk out of my car and get Adelina.

I walk into the front doors and sign Lev out of school for the day.

We get plombir and head back to headquarters.

Lev hangs out in the nursery with Adelina and plays on his IPad.

Adelina is all red and puffy from crying so much, but settled down after I fed her.

My assistant barges in and tells me that someone stole half of our weapons.

Crap!

There has to be a rat.

I only tell the people that are close to me the password for the weapons.

I feel like crying.

God I haven't been this hormonal since I was pregnant with Adelina.

I sigh and tell him to restock the weapons and try to find the rat.

I'm gonna shoot the rat.

Finally, your reasonable.

Shut up.

I pick up Adelina and hold Lev's hand as we walk out of headquarters and into my car.

Me and the kids arrive home.

Lev is watching TV in the main room, While Adelina is in her rocker with him.

"Dimitri?!" I yell for him.

"Dim?! You here?!" I yell again.

Sigh.

He must be on a mission.

I take Adelina out of her rocker and do tummy time.

Lev gets up from the couch and plays with Adelina's cute little hands.

I love their relationship so much.

I'm about to start dinner when Lev calls out to me.

"Mom!" He yells.

Freaking out, I run to him.

"What?!" I yell back totally freaking out.

"Adelina is crawling!" He shouts back.

My heart is filling with excitement.

I've only been waiting for this since she was 4 months!

Adelina crawls over to me.

"Hey pretty baby" I say kissing her cheek.

I put her in her rocker, not wanting her to get into anything, and Lev watches TV again.

I make Borscht for dinner.

Once it's done, I serve Lev.

I'm not in the mood to eat today.

I've gained 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks.

Sigh.

I hate my body.

I hang out with Adelina while I work on my laptop.

I really got to find out who this rat is.

I may have to start going to work normally again.

Not long after, Lev is finished eating and I give both of the kids baths. I feed Adelina and put Lev to bed.

"I love you baby boy" I say stroking his nose for the last time.

"I love you too Mama" he says back.

I kiss his cheek and walk out of his room.

Adelina is asleep in her bassinet.

I take this opportunity to bathe myself.

I start the bath and add lemon lavender bath scent.

I put on my face mask and get in.

God, I live for Self-Love.

After about an hour of relaxation, I get out and put on my fuzzy pjs.

I start to close my eyes when I hear Dimitri come in.

I rub my eyes and sit up.

"Hey baby" I said tiredly.

"Hi" He says back and gets into bed.

"Goodnight babe" He says turning off his side lamp.

Is that all? No sorry babe that I came home so late. No thanks for watching our kids babe. No how was your day babe?!

Ok, ok Nat. I'm sure he has a wonderful explanation. He's probably just tired.

Mhm, Your smarter than that babe.

I roll my eyes, but deep down, I know she's right.

I lay down and turn off my side lamp too.
