When We're Older

5th month; Chapter 29

Pacificas POV

woo, im more than halfway there only 4 months to go

I decided today that I would mix it up a bit

and I mean literally

like I'm baking...get the joke-

anyways

I decided to make a pizza today

I bought the ingredients such as flour...tomato sauce...um... and..cheese...

ok, I might need to check the list again, but other than that

I think I'm ready

Mabel's POV

today was a boring day

I went to work
got lunch
came home

the only thing that made me happy today was Sage

she texted me "good morning" today

she even added a smiley emoji at the end

she is so cute

I MEAN...she's nice

I wonder how Pacificas are doing?

Pacifica's POV

ok, so I've nearly finished

....setting up

look, baking isn't as easy as it looks

yes, I've had servants my whole life, but this time, I actually have to know how to do something that can help with the children

ok..let's see

First, get the dough

...yes, I bought pre made dough

anyways, first get the dough and roll it into a ball

seems easy

*10 minutes later*

this is more of a not semetrical ball than a round one....

ok, next step

Second, press the dough in to have a flat base

...wait with my hand or

Mabels POV

I decided to take the rest of the day slow and hopefully meet up with Sage

i should call her

*Mabel calls Sage*

May; Hii Sage

Sage; Hii Mabel

May; are you available soon, like this afternoon?

Sage; I wish but I have to go to my sisters show

May; oh

Sage: Yeah, it's a ballet show... the seven

May; I used to do ballet... Now that I think about it, I don't think my parents spent well money on me just to turn for 5 hours straight

Sage: Yeah, but maybe we can hang out next week?

May; yeah, sure

Sage: See you

May; bye

*Call ends*

I'm so glad I didn't have high hopes for ballet

anyways what was I gonna do now?

*ring ring*

who was that?

I went to my phone and went to see that Pacifica was calling me

"Hi Pacifica, are you OK?"

"Umm, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure..."

"Does 35 degrees sound like a good heat to bake a pizza at?"

"I'm coming,"

Well, I guess that's my afternoon booked

*5 MINUTES LATER*

"Hey Pacifica i-"

"Mabel, i can't bake a pizza ok"

"Wow, it looked like something went wrong,"

"Really, you think?"

"This is why we're friends."

"Thanks,"

I helped Pacifica with this pizza

and after 30 minutes, it finally looked...edible

"we'll as long as we don't look at that highly burned price. I think we'll be fine."

"Yeah.. hey Pacifica, why did you want to bake a pizza anyway?"

"Umm, no reason."

"Pacifica, nothing has no reason...why do you think I'm wearing this sweater?"

"Because you're promoting your brand -"

"ok besides that..."

"Look, I can't cook well...clearly, but I thought if I start now, it would be easier for when the babies come,"

"Pacifica," I said, then moved the pizza away from us

"Look, you don't need to know how to cook immediately to be the best."

"Go on,"

"it takes practice and lots of cleaning," I said to her

"I know I just don't feel as if I've done enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Mabel, I was raised with butlers head to toe they did everything for me. I feel like if I can't do one simple task on my own, then..what can I do?"

"You can...at least practice."

"Really?"

"Pacifica look at me in not perfect. I got stood up how many times, and I still bounce back,"

"What does that have to do with practice-" Pacifica said

"-makes perfect," I said back

"Look, if you need anything else, then just call me," I said to her whilst heading for the door

"ok, thanks, Mabel...also what's up with you and Sage?"

"Hmm?"

"Like, is she nice? you know I've only met her once, " Pacifica asked

"Oh yeah, she's nice,"

"ok, well, make sure you call me as well."

"Call?"

"Sometimes I'm just too lazy to text."

"ok Paz," I said to her

"Paz...Paz...hey isn't that the nickname you used to call me by?"

"Oh yeah...hey, remember when we delivered those cookies around the houses?"

"Oh yeah, and you kept going on about waddles..."

"waddles, yeah, I kinda miss him. we had to leave him in Monterey,"

"Why?"

"Pigs...public transport...not a good mix"

"I see."

"anyways I'll see you later," I said to Pacifica

"See you, Mabel," she said back,
