Sofia

I couldn't believe what Ryder had told me.
I was getting £500,000.

I wasn't giving my mom a penny. She had never insured anything in the house. It was me that did and it was my money.

Finally Jaxon and I would be able to move out of the apartment and into an actual house, and before our second child was born, we had 3 bedrooms but our place wasn't big at all, and we didn't have a garden, children needed space to play.

As soon as I finished my shift I text Jaxon

Sofia; got some news for you boo xxx

Jaxon; god no I can't take any more bad news xx

Sofia; bad news? Xxx

Jaxon; I'll explain later xx

Sofia; This is good news. Do you want me to pick Ez up. Xxx

Jaxon; I get off in half hour I'll grab her xxx

Sofia; okay I love you xxx

Jaxon; you too xxx

It made sense to wait until Jaxon finished work, by the time I drive there he would be finished anyway so it would just be a waste off gas.

I went to the shops and got a bottle of white wine then headed home.

I put some chicken nuggets on to cook for Ezmaya and some potato waffles and waiting for them to get home.

I heard the door open and heard Ezmaya shout "mommy."
She came running over. I picked her and gave Her a big cuddle and a kiss "did you have a good day?" I asked her.

"No" she said. She always said no. It was still her favourite word.

Jaxon laughed "how was your day?" He asked me.

"It was really good, yours?" I smiled.

Jaxon shrugged "it was okay."

"Well let's feed little lady." I took her to the kitchen.

I put her in her high chair and sorted her food for her then opened the wine and poured two glasses handing one to Jaxon.

Jaxon looked at me "are we celebrating?"

"I grinned "we are yes"

Jaxon frowned "okay what happened?"

"were £500,000 richer." I said full of excitement.

I saw the shock in his face. "what? How?"

"I got home insurance when I was living with my mom and because the fire was accident the company are paying out" I grinned.

"Oh my god no way." Jaxon said in shock.

"I was shocked too" I laughed.

"So what are you going to do with your money?" He asked me.

"OUR money." I corrected him.

Jaxon laughed. "I'm sorry our money."

"Well you're getting a motorbike." I grinned.

His face lit up; he always wanted a new one after selling his to pay for bills.

Jaxon sounded so excited "Are you sure babe?!"

"course I'm sure. And we're getting a real house." I kissed him.

"Yes, anything you want sweetheart."
