For Better Or For Worse (rewrite/ Continuation)

Chapter 41

Three weeks later, second week January 1999,

The charity building had opened its doors two weeks ago and already was a succes, the entire community wanted to check out the new place, sign up for the workshops or simply have a place to go to after school where they could learn something new or make new friends with other kids from the neighborhood

"Shouldn't you do a fashion workshop at your hubbies charity thing?" Will asked Tracee while they worked on the teen mom collection

"I would love to but I don't have the time, I'm working on three lines already at the moment, besides I'm already two weeks behind with the teen mom collection" Tracee answered

"When is the deadline for Melody's choice?" Will asked taking a sip of his much needed double espresso

"April" Tracee answered while folding a piece of fabric

"Like late April almost May?" Will asked, just to be sure since there's still enough to do

"No, first of April, no joke" Tracee answered seriously while sorting the different piles of fabric by color and size, deviding them in the baby and the mother pile before making a boys and girls pile of the baby pile

---- Meanwhile,

Michael was having lunch with all volunteers to thank them for being part of the charity and all their hard work since they opened the doors nearly three weeks ago, but also for helping with cleaning up once the builders were done

As everyone was leaving one of the younger volunteers who stayed to help clean up was talking with Michael because they were doing the dishes together

"Do I know you from somewhere?" Michael asked since she looked familiar as if he seen her before

"Last year I was at the office of Mrs Jackson for the teen mom collection" The girl answered

"You're the girl with two little girls? Four and two, right?" Michael asked

"Yes, Jessica, my girls are with their father now, we kind of have shared custody now, that's why I want to volunteer to get my mind off of my little monsters, terrible twos are truly terrible, especially the second time, so be prepared" Jessica told him and smiled at Melody who was falling asleep in her stroller

"Melody being terrible? No she's an easy baby, only wakes up twice a night" Michael answered

"She's not walking and taking yet, the second she's figured out how to walk she'll run around at the horrible hour of two AM and scream for candy" Jessica answered

"And I'd probably give her candy then, how could I say no to her cute little self" Michael mentioned

"All dad's are the same" Jessica smirked

"What?" Michael asked

"My dad can't say no to me either, my girl's dad can't say no them either, they've my dad wrapped around their little fingers too, I'm the big bad mom because I tell them no" Jessica explained

"I'm sure your girls love you tho" Michael answered

"I know" Jessica smiled when her phone rang "Lemme guess it's their dad asking if the girls can have ice cream for dinner" She sighed and looked at the callers ID not recognizing the number "Jessica Greens" She answered picking up "Really? Yes I'll make sure to be there, thank you, thank you so much for calling me" She smiled happily and hung up "Will from Tracee's fashion just invited me to the fashion show for the new collection" Jessica gasped

"Of course you're invited, you were a part of designing the blue prints of the collection" Michael told her

"We've only given ideas, Mrs Tracee and her team did all the work tho" Jessica answered
