"Where is Mom?" Lily and Grace ask when they come home from school

"She's staying with Aunt Hanna"

"Why?" Grace asks

"Because she wanted to"

Both Lily and Grace's eyes drop and they look towards each other

"When will she be back?" Lily asks

"I'm not sure" I admit

"We heard you shouting the other night. Are you getting divorced? A girl in our class, Presley's mom and dad are breaking up because they are fighting about money. Is that why Mom isn't here?"

"No. Grace, Lily. Mom and I love each other. You don't have to worry about us, she'll be back soon"

"Are you sure?" Grace cries

"Yes" I begin to cry as I hug Lily and Grace

Emily's pov

Wife💖💍👩‍👩‍👧‍👧
'We need to talk.
Come home asap' 

"She's breaking up with me Han"

"What?"

"Alison. She's breaking up with me"

"Emily what the hell are you talking about?"

"We need to talk. That's basically we are breaking up"

"You two really need to get better at communicating" Hanna sighs

"What if I've lost her?"

"Em, go home and talk to your wife"

I listen to Hanna and make my way home. When I reach the porch steps my breath deepens and my hands become sweaty. I pull my keys out my pocket and as I hold them up to the door my hands begin to shake, the keys fall out my hand and I stumble down to pick them up

"Mommy" Lily squeals, running from the back yard to the front of the house

"Hey gorgeous" I smile, hugging Lily

"Grace go tell Mommy that Mommy is here" Lily tells her as Grace runs around the outside of our house

The door nob turns and Alison opens the door. Lily runs past Ali and my legs go stiff, I stare at Alison unable to move

"Well are you coming in?" She asks me

I struggle my way to the sofa and sit down facing her

"Emily, are you cheating on me?" Ali sighs

"No, I promise. Alison I have always loved you, even when I thought you didn't love me back I didn't give up on you. Why would I ruin what I have always wanted?"

"We were young when you first loved me, maybe I wasn't as good as you expected? Lily and Grace came so suddenly, we weren't even together when we got pregnant. Maybe you don't love me, maybe you just loved the idea of me?" Alison cries

"Alison. You are the love of my life, I would never hurt you" my voice shivers
