Life in the big apple) the wedding

The drive back home

Lena's: POV
The girls and I are just leaving the doctor's office
They both had to get physical exams before they start school in September. Ariana got three shots and Francesca received only too, now l'm heading to the pharmacy to pick my prescription and some children's Motrin
for Ariana. I texted Stef and let her know I needed to stop by the drug store, she let me know l didn't need to go by the grocery store. Cause she already had taken care the groceries for the month and plus she prepared dinner
Stef has really stepped up and taking care us, l don't know what l would do without her. We pulled up to the drive thru at the CVS, there were too cars ahead of me so l waited for my turn. I look through the rear view mirror and see Ariana is asleep, my poor baby is wiped out
She gets clingy when she's sick Stef's the same way
Frankie who's listening to music on her iPod, she has her head phones in. I pulled up to the window and give the girl my name and date of birth, l told her I wanted a bottle of children's Motrin. She says okay. So we just sit here and wait till she comes back to the window, l turned off the car so I don't kill the battery. There was three vehicles behind me in line, l see Ariana was still asleep. The girl finally came back. She slides back the window and gives me my total, l handed her my visa card and hands me the slip to sign my signature. I give it back to her and she gave me the bag, along with my card. I put it back in my wallet started up the engine, and drove off mommy do l think I can play a musical instrument this semester in school
Frankie asks me. What do wanna play cause there are so many different instruments Lena said to her daughter
Francesca thought for a minute, Gram told me that you use to play the piano when you were my age Frankie States. I played all the way up to eleventh grade it takes hard work and you have to practice every day no matter how hard it takes you can't give up when you make a mistake Lena responds. Okay mommy l won't quit
Francesca replies, we jumped on to the highway
There wasn't a lot of traffic out but their vehicles on the road. It didn't take us long to get back, we pulled up to the gate. I punched in the code and watched the double gates open up and l drove on through and continue driving
Until I parked the car in driveway turned off the car grabbed my bag and got out the vehicle, Frankie unbuckle
Your sister's seat belt for me please Lena asked Francesca
Alright mommy Frankie did as she was told while Lena went to checked the mail box. Francesca carried Ariana
Up the pathway, Lena was looking through the mail
Mommy can you unlock the door please Frankie Stated
No sooner than Lena unlocks the front door both dogs came running out the house Lena shook her head.
Stef was rushing out the door and tried to catch up with Sofia and Gigi, you know better Sofia and Gigi to run outside. Stef tells both doggies she waited as they sniff around for a spot to use the bathroom, Sofia was done
Gigi was still trying to find a an empty spot to pee at
Sofia ran back inside the house, while sat on the swing couch. Rubbing her belly with her eyes closed, the twins kicking up a storm. Lena didn't feel Stef's presence beside her, hey baby how did everything go at the doctor's office
Stef questioned Lena. Ariana needed to get four shots and Francesca received two, the pediatrician said Frankie needs glasses only for reading so l'm gonna take her to vision works to pick a set of nice eye glasses overall their in perfect health Lena responded without opening up her eyes. Love you wouldn't believe who showed up while you guys were out Stef says to me, let me guess Callie
What did she have to say for herself as to why she didn't Call. Lena asks me, l gave her a piece of my mind
When I told her I knew what kinda work she was doing
She was trying to come up with some lie but l called her out on bull shit. Sweetheart l'm so pissed at Callie for not reaching out l thought she was hurt, l don't why l'm letting this bother me so much Callie maybe twice and that was it
Stef said. Love you can't beat yourself over Callie's behavior, she's an adult and making reckless choices
Lena explains. I know but she could have gotten herself raped or killed, that young woman was only two years older than Callie. I'm not gonna let Callie come in here and make false promises to our children, Stef States
I understand and I don't want Frankie getting hopes up again. After what happened the last time when Callie was supposed to take her to the mall and she never called
Lena said, enough talk about Callie let's go on inside
And get ready for our dinner guess Stef Stated
