Stef's: POV
What a Day it's been a long and exhausting day. My staff and had too events back to back, apparently one of my employees booked a luncheon on the same day as the retirement party we hosted at the restaurant luckily there was an empty room available or else we would be in deep trouble. Now l'm sitting outside the house resting my eyes in my car hopefully Lena's day went better than me, l see the porch light come on. I turned off the car and head inside so l can take a long hot shower then spend some quantity time with my family
There was tons of food left over from both parties. Even though the cook prepared it
We didn't want to throw it away so l brought half of it home for the girls, there was chicken salad, tuna salad party wings
Meat balls and chicken lasagna. The chef put everything in a box for me, he made sure to cover all the containers up securely
I locked up all the doors in the car and grabbed the box to carry inside. I unlocked the front door, then stepped in the house
It was quiet than normal usually when l come home Grace and Hope would run up to me with hugs and kisses. I head straight to the kitchen and put down the brown box
On the counter, so much coming home to a hot desert meal. I wonder where  everyone  is at, just then l hear the dogs barking
I grab a cold bottle of apple juice from the fridge. It's not like Lena not to cook on a Thursday evening, we would take turns cooking. After finishing up my juice
I see the dogs have been fed, Lena probably didn't walk them. I washed my hands over at the sink, l stared out the kitchen window and saw the girls bike neatly beside each other. Tomorrow the pool guy is supposed to come and clean out the swimming pool
I decided to take doggies for a quick walk
Before l comfortable, they both came running towards me and l put their leashes on. Oh my poor babies must really need to go, as l was about to open the front door
Grace calls my name. Hi baby hi Stef says
She hugs me, how was your day at Nana's and pop pops house where's your sister at the blonde asks. She's in mommy's room watching a movie, mama mommy sick
Grace tells me. What do you mean love bug
Stef questioned her three year, mommy not feel good the girl repeats. How bout when l get back from walking the doggies we make
Mommy Mama's famous chicken soup Stef said, as Grace's face lights up okay mama
I go back upstairs and watch the princess and the frog Grace States. I watched her go up the steps, my poor baby is sick l open up the front door again and see Francessa's school bus pulled up to the house and gets off. She waves at me as I walk down the road, with both dogs, l have my mace and pepper spray in my pocket. Even though we live in a gated community, we barely have any neighbors if we do they must live a mile away somewhere. I continue to walk the dogs,
