Chapter Fifteen
Later that hari and after makan malam, majlis makan malam and playing games with Mama and Sean, Mac knew that after Sean leaves their utama to go back to his own house and once Jamie cleans them up, put them in their pajamas, and read them a story atau two, then she can ask her mother about that odd thing she saw that hari between her mom and the man who hangs out with them any chance he got.
It was coming closer and closer. After Sean had left, four of the Thomas family is heading into their ‘getting ready for bed’ routine which means taking a bath, taking sure that the kids had brushed their teeth, used the toilet and kissed their mother on the cheek afterward. The moment she put Jake in his pajamas, put him in his crib, sung him a soft and sweet song, and watched him falling asleep, Jamie smiled at him and headed over to her daughters’ room to see if those girls were in their sleeping clothes and read them a bedtime story before actually letting sleep.
Once she got to their bedroom, Jamie put her hand on the door handle, opened the door, got herself in, and saw Mac and Izzie being all giggly and jumpy. After seeing them acted that day, with a smile on her face, Jamie berkata to the girls, “Come on, girls. Bedtime story!”
“YAY!” yelled out sejak the little girls and ran over to Mac’s katil while Jamie went to the bookcase, picked out a few buku to read and the girls to pick, and after finding and getting their kegemaran ones and a new picture book that Jamie brought from Barnes & Nobles a few days lalu from the shelves, Jamie ran over to the katil and once she got on the middle of the full-sized bed, Mac and Izzie cuddled up to their mother and let her read some stories to them.
After twenty minit of Membaca Mac and Izzie’s kegemaran story twice, Izzie Thomas had fallen asleep. Seeing her sleeping, Jamie was about to get out of the katil and get Izzie on the katil seterusnya to the one she read the story on so she can put the blanket over her small body, Ciuman her on the forehead and say ‘good – night, Izzie. Sweet dreams.” when Mac asked her a question.
“Mama, I had a soalan for you.” With Izzie sleeping seterusnya to her, Jamie turned to her oldest daughter and with a slight smile on her face, Jamie berkata to her, “Yeah, Mac. What’s it?”
“Are anda in Cinta with now, Daddy atau Sean?” Quickly, Jamie answered the soalan sejak saying, “Your Daddy of course. Are anda asking me this question, Mac?” In return, Mac just stared at her and answered her mother’s soalan sejak saying, “I don’t know, Mama. Maybe that I saw anda Ciuman Sean at my Bola sepak game today and it isn’t one of those kisses. It was one of those kisses anda only gave Daddy and tell me, Mama. Are anda not in Cinta with Daddy anymore and now in Cinta with Sean?”
Jamie was very surprised when she heard that from Mac. She doesn’t know how Mac founded out about her relationship with Sean. Beside the people in the relationship, no one else doesn’t knows about it well expect Jake but Jake’s only a baby and had an I.Q. of a siput for now and at this moment, Jamie had to figure out what to tell her about this. The daughter who asked her their frustrating soalan now. Why now?
After seeing the face her oldest child is giving her, Jamie sighed to herself and put her arms around Mac’s small body while saying to her, “I don’t know, Mac. For knowing Sean for a week now, he made me pretty happy just like your father but Sean put lebih effort into it than your father recently and the lebih I know him, the lebih I Cinta him but at some moments right now, I did some things to him without any thinking about it that I only gave your father but I am ashamed of them right now. Mac, tell me about it right now. I need your help about it.”
The moment she heard that, Mac Thomas took a minit atau two to think about this and once she got some, Mac looked up to her mother with her brown eyes and berkata to her in a kind and understanding tone in her voice, “Mama, did Sean want to spend any lebih time with you?”
“Yes, Mac. Sean just asked me if I want to have makan malam, majlis makan malam with him on Tuesday night and I told him yes. Why are anda asking me this?” Right away, Mac stared straight into her mother’s blue eyes and berkata to her, “I don’t know and plus, I want to know when Daddy is coming from California.”
Forgotten about that, Jamie kissed the forehead of the girl in her arms and berkata to her, “Wednesday night, Mac. Wednesday night is the night when Daddy is coming home. He told me that yesterday afternoon and I might have forgotten about it until now. Sorry about that, Sweetie.”
Telling Jamie that was fine with her, Mac put her loving mother’s arms around her a little tighter and putting her into that position, Mac berkata to her with a sweet voice, “That’s okay, Mama.” but then in a odd tone in her voice at this moment, she berkata to Jamie some more, “But now, anda got to tell Mr. Sean that anda can’t have the makan malam, majlis makan malam with him on Tuesday.”
Putting Mac in front of her, Jamie stared at Mac’s eyes and berkata to her, “What? Why?” Without a beat, Mac looked at her mother’s blue eyes again and explained to her sejak saying to her, “Because Daddy’s coming back the hari after anda will have makan malam, majlis makan malam with Sean and if he found out about it, it will break Daddy’s heart….” And then, there are some tears in Mac’s brown eyes when she berkata to Jamie, “And he might be that person before he is now. The Daddy we didn’t like!”
Suddenly, tears were falling down from Mac’s big brown eyes and wanting to make her feel better, Jamie hold her daughter tightly and while twirling Mac’s wavy hair a little, Jamie calmed her oldest baby down sejak saying to her, “Baby, please don’t cry. I will make sure that Daddy doesn’t become a monster anymore because I will tell Sean that I cannot have the makan malam, majlis makan malam with him on Tuesday and tell him that he had to stay away from me. Is that okay with you, Baby?”
After hearing that, Mac looked up to her mother again and once she wiped down her tears, she berkata to Jamie, “I’m okay with that, Mama but anda can be Friends with Sean as long as anda like and still Cinta Daddy as long as anda live but I had something to ask you.”
Ciuman the bahagian, atas of Mac’s head, Jamie berkata to her, “Sure, Baby. What’s it?” Joking about it, Mac kissed Jamie’s cheek and asked her, “Mama, since anda don’t want to Ciuman Sean no lebih and still in Cinta with Daddy, can I have Sean instead? PLEASE!!” and giving her the anjing, anak anjing eyes that came from Michael.
Seeing those eyes and founding out that her oldest daughter might be having a crush on Sean Connors, Jamie laughed at that, hugged and kissed her daughter again, and after doing that, she let go of Mac a little and berkata to her, “Sure, Mac. I’ll let anda have him.”
Mac Thomas gave her a big smile on her face when she looked at her mother’s face and berkata to her with happiness, “Yay! Thanks, Mama!” and gave her another hug before lying down on her katil and then, fallen asleep a few minit later.
After seeing her and Izzie being asleep and having some sweet dreams, Jamie Thomas got up from Mac’s bed, walked to the door, opened the door, and staring at her little sweethearts, Jamie smiled at them and wondering why she got one of the sweetest girls she ever had. The girl who Jamie might break her promise of not breaking Michael’s heart.

Baby Stroller
Jade Adams was making her way utama when she saw him. The dark haired kid everyone had been talking about earlier today was walking in the same direction she was. "Hey! You're the new kid in school right?" "Hn?" The boy turned around to face Jade, making her hati, tengah-tengah skip a beat. He had to be one of the most strikingly beautiful people she had ever seen. He was pale, with onyx colored eyes, and jet black hair that hung over his eyes slightly. "H-hi. I'm Jade..." the poor girl was at a loss for words when he flashed his dazzling smile at her. "Hey, I'm Victor." She blushed slightly and readjusted her Slipknot tee over her black skinny jeans. "Soo... what road do anda turn onto to get home?" "I turn onto Salem road, what about you?" Victor looked over at her again, scratching his head awkwardly. "Me too! Wanna walk utama together?" "Sure!" The blonde girl started walking ahead, leaving Victor o follow. "So, how do anda like it here?"
