Why are things so hard? - Sequel to We'll get trough this together

Chapter 2

Tim's POV:
I can't believe the girls haven't been helping Faith out around here when I was gone. She looks so tired, I don't think she has slept for more than 3 hours for the past week. The girls walked into our room. "Hi." Gracie said, she didn't even look at me, she just sat down in the chair and picked up her phone. "Hey, dad. Welcome home." Audrey said and sat next to Gracie. "Hi, dad. I missed you." Maggie said and sat next to her sisters. "Girls, where have you been?" I asked them and looked at them. Maggie and Audrey looked down and Gracie was on her phone. "Gracie Katherine, put your phone down." I said but she didn't do anything. I walked over to her and took her phone. "DAD, GIVE THAT BACK!" She yelled at me. "Don't raise your voice at me young lady!!" I said kind of harsh. She sat back down and crossed her arms. "Where have y'all been?" I asked again. "At the mall." Gracie said. "Doing what?" I asked and put my hands on my hips. "Oh, I don't know dad, what do you usually do when you go to the mall?" Gracie said and rolled her eyes. "Don't be rude to your father, please." Faith said. "Oh, shut up." Gracie said and both Maggie and Audrey stared at her. Faith sit up quickly. "Gracie Katherine McGraw. You do not talk to your mother like that!!" I said. "Your mom hasn't been sleeping because Samuel has been sick, then she has to cook for you, clean the house and what do you do in return?! Nothing!! What happened with y'all? You were always helping us and doing things for us!!" Gracie looked at me and stood up. "Sorry for being such a bad daughter. She said and turned to walk out. "Gracie, we're not done here." I said. "I want you all to go clean around here tomorrow. This place is a mess. Y'all help out around here when I'm here, your mom shouldn't have to do this all by herself." I said. They all walked out quietly Except for Maggie. "I'm sorry, mama. I should've helped you instead of listening to them." She said and walked out of our room. "Wait-" I said but Faith stopped me. "Leave it, baby. Let's just talk to them together tomorrow." She said and laid back down. "Okay." I said and got undressed. I climbed in bed with her and held her tight. "I'm sorry for-" I started saying but she shut me up with a kiss. "Can you stop apologizing?? I was the one who told you to go!" She said and laid her head on my chest. "Yeah but I was supposed to be gone for a week but not 10 days." I said and put my fingers in her hair. "Baby, have I ever told you to just shut up?" She said. "Yes. You say that to me almost every day..." I said and smiled. She looked at me and smiled. "Goodnight." I said and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, sweet dreams, baby." She said and laid her head on my pillow. I heard Samuel cry. "Your turn." Faith said and turned around. This is gonna be a long night.
