6. Crying

I SAID I NEEDED SPACE~ CHAPTER 6:

~~Crying~~

INTRO:

"Hello Anna," I say gritting my teeth

"Annabelle," Billie says gruffly

"How are you guys?" she says again

"Doing just fine thank?" I say

"Oh really? I heard from a little birdie that perfect couple Pavies broke up, wa wa" she says rubbing her eyes, mocking a crying face

"What do you want Annabelle"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'M STARVING I say and I unwrap mine moaning when the smell hits my nose

"Yum yum yum," she says and takes a bite

But I don't get a reply as we are interrupted by the one person I hate and I don't ever want to see again

"Oh my god, Avery Davies! Or is Peters?" she says squealing "oh and Belinda" she replies snarling at Billie.

"Hello Anna," I say gritting my teeth

"Annabelle," Billie says gruffly

"How are you guys?" she says again

"Doing just fine thank?" I say

"Oh really? I heard from a little birdie that perfect couple Pavies broke up, wa wa" she says rubbing her eyes, mocking a crying face

"What do you want Annabelle"

"Oh nothing" she replies and I look at her up and down, her in a mini skirt, a tiny top and heels

"I am great as usual, thanks for asking," she says

"That's good," Billie says back

"Anyways, I just came over here to see what you guys were up to," she says and looks in our bags "and I can clearly see why Grayson left you" she snarls

"Sorry what," I say and I stand up aggressively, which causes her to step back and put her witch fingers to her chest

"Personal space please," she says

"Watch the way you speak to me" I reply

"Wow, that was harsh, no need to yell, point of the story, stay away from Grayson, he is mine, and he will forever be mine"

"Excuse me" I reply

"GRAYSON. IS. MINE"

"Okay then, just a reminder he has 3 kids with me," I say and she laughs tossing her hair behind her before walking back to her posse, I stick the finger up to her back and turn to look at Billie.

"What the fuck" I say and sit back down, now I need my sandwich

...

"All right, we are all clean, our jammies are on" I finally got all 3, bathed, dressed and somewhat settled, Billie and Michael have gone out for the night and the kids are with her parents, so it's just me and the girls alone.

"Jammies!" Ava says putting her hands in the air,

"Yes Ava baby" I reply and I grab one of her tiny fists, I then lift a squirming Lola up and I place her upright so all 3 girls are in front of me

"Shoe mummy shoes" Saskia then says, catching my attention, so I look at her pointing at her feet, before rubbing her eyes, she's exhausted.

"What baby?" I reply

"No shoes mummy, no shoes"

"That's right Sass, you don't wear shoes to bed" I reply

She begins to whimper and I see her eyes well with tears, and I can feel this as the beginning of chaos

"I know, I know," I say and I pull her closer to me and I pat her back

"Shoes," she says pointing to her feet again

"No Sass, you are getting ready to sleep"

"Mummy no"

"Okay if you really want shoes, go and get some" I reply, and she stands up to walk to the cupboard, to find some shoes

"Sissy's funny isn't she?" I say and I grab the iPad, putting on a kids TV show, so I can get a few things done before I put all 3 girls to bed.

Saskia walks back not even a minute later, tears rolling down her cheeks

"Where did they go?" she says crying

"Where did they go? I don't know baby" I reply and she cries harder

"Where did they go?" she replies shouting this, crying hysterically, but I don't get any further, because Ava screams starting to cry, causing Lola to cry.

Now all 3 girls are crying

I feel my anxiety rising, and I feel tears welling in my eyes, all 3 girls are now screaming and crying around me in this tiny bedroom and I have no idea what to do as if my day couldn't get any worse than what it has been.

"Oh my god," I say, I am so overwhelmed. This is the time that I need Grayson. I take a deep breath and try to make sense of what I can do.

"Ava come here baby," I say to her and she moves to my lap

"What happened," I say to her, whilst I see Lola crying sitting and Saskia crying in the corner

"Lolly hit me in the eye," she says hiccuping, I cuddle her close to me and I kiss her goodnight

"Okay baby, let me kiss it better," I say and I hug her closer, I wait a few moments before she has calmed down before, I place her on my bed, I then pick up the baby who stops crying instantly.

I think everyone around her was crying, scared her and prompted her crying, I then placed her next to Ava. I then look at Saskia who is hysterically whimpering for some shoes.

I finally locate some shoes and place them on her feet, which helps ease her cry before she latches onto my hip. I then grab the baby wrap and try my best to put it on without putting Saskia down, who cries every time I try.

I then move all 3 girls down to the living room. I fill Saskia and Ava's sippy cups with some warm milk and I make Ava a bottle, I then transport all of us up to the study/room, I know that Saskia isn't going to sleep in her bed tonight, so I place all 3 on the bed.

I quickly turn on the humidifier and sound machine,

Ava who is tired takes the sippy cup and starts to drink it laying in our bed, and before I know it she is slowly falling asleep. Saskia is a little more difficult. I lay her next to Ava and I rub her back slowly whilst she falls asleep.

After 30 minutes both girls are asleep. So I reheat the baby's bottle, and I rock her whilst I feed her until she falls asleep, where I place her in the porta cot. I then sit down on the rocking chair and sigh.

These are the times I really miss Grayson.
