A Lovely Surprise II

Struggles With Us

"Come over." Terrence texted me.
"I can't, my parents will get suspicious. I'm not ready to tell them. We're still dealing with the whole Kenny thing. They won't even let me leave the house." I texted back.
He sent me a sad face back. "I love you. I really want to see you though." I texted again. "I'm sorry!" I texted again panicking that he maybe mad. "I'm not mad Ari, it's okay lol. I will see you at school. I love you." He texted back. I forget Terrence is more relaxed and understanding. Kenny would get mad if I stepped in the wrong direction. "You could ask my dad if you can come over for dinner ;)." I texted. "I already did lol, he said yes. I'll be there soon." He texted back making me smile. "What are you smiling about weirdo." Jayden asked coming into my room. "Go away Jayden!" I groaned. "Sissy!" Demi squealed running into my room as my dad chased her. She was only in a diaper. "Come here I'll save you!" I told her protecting her from our dad. "She's fast." He said out of breath. "You're just old." I laughed. He gave me a death glare. "Yeah Daddy you old!" She laughed. He sat next to me, "who are you texting?" He asked. "Terrence." I replied. He nodded, "he's coming over for dinner." He stated. "Oh really? Cool," I smiled. "Yep, I'm gonna teach him how to make some steaks." He joked. "Oh god, Mom is letting you cook?!" I laughed. "Oh hush." He laughed putting his arm around me kissing my head. "Daddy! I want loves!" Demi whined. He hugged us both then Jayden jumped in. "Where was my invite?!" Mom laughed.

The love I see Michael give the kids is so pure and amazing. I love just watching him be with our kids. I left letting them be together. I began to clean a little then started dinner. I felt Michael hands gently grasp my shoulders. "How did we end up with three beautiful kids?" He asked me. I shrugged, "My good looks i guess." Making him laugh. "I definitely have a beautiful wife." He said kissing my neck. I gave him a soft smile. "Is everything okay?" He asked. I nodded, "I just feel off today." I sighed. "What do you mean by that?" He asked. I shrugged. He held my face, "Do you want to start back on your exercises?" He asked softly. I shook my head. "I'm just having a bad day Michael that doesn't mean I'm getting depressed again." I said. "Okay." He sighed. "We need a date night." He said. "Cause that went so well last time." I said rolling my eyes. "I won't be a jackass this time." He giggled. "I just want you to myself for a day." I sighed hugging him. "I know baby, we need some us time. Maybe if we sweet talk some people we can actually take a vacation, just us." He said kissing my neck making me melt. "Ew can you guys stop." Aria gagged. Michael shooed her away still kissing me. "You guys act like a bunch of teenagers." She groaned. "You better not be acting like this." Michael warned her. She rolled her eyes. "Let's talk later about a vacation. I really think we need one. Josh and Erin kind of owe us." He joked. "After that weekend, yes!" I laughed. "I'm here." Terrence announced. "I feel like we have four kids." I laughed. "Yeah but we can send Terrence back to his mom." He laughed. "Alright I'm ready for this grilling lesson," Terrence laughed. "Me too Dad!" Jayden said. "Alright. Let the pro show you." Michael said rubbing his hands together.

"Wow babe, this is good." I said wiping my mouth. "I can cook yah know." He said. "I made it momma." Jayden said. "Oh please I did." Terrence added. "I think I need to put some fear back into this one." Michael told me referring to Terrence making us all laugh. "I was so scared of you for the longest time." Terrence laughed. "Good." Michael chuckled. "So What is this vacation I hear about?" Ari asked excited. "It's just me and mom going." Michael told her. "What? No fair!" Jayden hollered. "We need a get away. We love you guys but your mom and I need some us time. Nothing is even set in stone." Michael said. "Not cool." Demi said making us laugh. "Who taught you that phrase?" I asked giggling. She pointed at Jayden.

"Everyone is down." Michael sighed coming into the bedroom, "Are you sure?" I asked from our bathroom. "Uh Yeah." He said confused. "What are you doing babe?" He asked. I took a deep breath and put my robe on and fixed my hair.
