After the lunch, Stefan has been around the kids more. He went to watch the Ella's play, went to Elijah's game and even requested to pick up Anthony from school which I quickly denied seeing I still don't trust him.
"Hey mom" Ella said
"Yeah" I replied
"Is it fine if Stefan picks me up after school. He is gonna help me with soccer skills?" Ella asked
I didn't want to say but I know how much she missed Stefan and now having him back, she wants to connect. I shouldn't stop her from this
"Sure, just be home by dinner time" I said
"Thank you" she replied
"You're welcome" I said. She scurried off back upstairs as I continued working.
I needed to finish the reports by today in order for it to be authorized and sent out. I'm drowning in this work and all I want to do is spend time with my kids or sleep.
"Mommy" Anthony said running in
"Hi ant man" I said
"Can Stefan come over for swimming?" He asked
He still doesn't know much which I want to keep it that way, in order to protect him.
"Sure, he can come over" I said
"Yay" he cheered up and down.
"Thank you mommy" he said coming up to my desk and giving me a hug
"You're welcome" I said
He ran out of the room, and I went back to work figuring out what to do.
"Mom" Madeline said
"Yes sweetie" I said
"Can Stefan come to my birthday?" She asked
If I can't say no to the others, I can't say no to her
"Sure, I will tell him" I replied
"Thank you" she said walking out of the room. I was expecting Elijah to come in seeing the others did but he didn't.
My phone started ringing and I see it was Aaron calling.
"Hello" I said
"Hey, is it possible you could babysit Arabella?" He asked. I was gonna speak but he cut me off "and I know you are busy but no one else can and you know how paranoid I can be. I trust you" he said. It still shocks me that Aaron is a father and a husband. I will always see him as the immature, player who is now my best friend. I understand why he's paranoid, he's a father who's in a mafia and he cares about his daughter greatly.
"Sure, bring me niece over. I need to spend more time with her" I replied
"Thank you" he said
"No problem" I replied. Arabella is turning 3 and her brother is gonna be born in December.
I work until the doorbell rings and I get up. I open the door to see Aaron and Arabella.
"Auntie stassie" she ran and hugged me
"Hi Arabella" I said picking her up and putting her on my hip.
"Thank you so much, I'll pick her up at 9" Aaron said
"No problem" I replied. I looked back to Arabella. "Say bye bye Arabella" I said waving to Aaron
"Bye bye" she replied. I closed the door and sat her down on the chair across from the table
