After a week
Kate
'Emma you know how to tie your shoe laces ... so no more help...' I said in a mom tone
Emma replied ' ok mama'
' wheres Aria ' n I found her watching cartoons
' Aria come here ... we are getting late for school...' she came running
N said ' Look mama I wear my school clothes without help'
I just smiled ... she did wear the shirt but the buttons were put so wrongly
I said ' oh wow... such a big girl but let be put buttons in their place....'
I said to both girls ' ok girls come let me do your hair ... so who is first?'
Emma said she wants first... emma hair is just like emily light blonde so I secure it with a high pony tail
I make both side braid of Aria brown blonde hair ... n finally they were ready
Alex was waiting for them....
Emma nagged n said ' its so unfair ...Aria will be back in 3 hours n I have to be back in noon '
I replied ' because she just started the school n you in prep so timing changed baby'
Usually driver drive them to school but he has gone home for family emergency.... I started dropping them but it becomes too hectic for me ... so I reluctantly asked Alex to drop girls in the morning but I will pick them afterward ..... Alex says he has no problem but I told him that Aria school is two block left to emma he become still like he remember that Aria is also going to school.... I don't want to make things more difficult between Aria n him so I said I will drop them its no problem but alex stopped me n said he will dropped them in morning .... so this is the first morning Alex is going to drop them
Alex saw us coming n said ' ready !'
I said ' yup just let me put them in their car seats'
I said to emma ' Emma eat your lunch'
Emma ' okkkk mama'
I kissed my both girls ... then I give Alex his office bag n kissed his cheek ...n said goodbye ... I hope everything goes well.
Alex
Both girls was chatting n I was waiting for traffic light to turn green
Emma said ' I got A on spelling test.... what you got'
Aria thought a little ' I know 1 to 15 counting and a star on my writing'
Emma said ' silly thats it ... I know all the counting... '
Aria replied ' because you're five n im three tomorrow....n miss rose says im pretty with pretty brain'
I just smiled at her reply..
Emma ' im more pretty than you...you stupid .... daddy tell her? '
I said ' ok girls enough ... don't fight... n emma dont use such words... '
Emma said ' Sorry '
I stopped at emma school ... I unbuckled her seats n picked her .. kissed her n says goodbye ' bye baby '
I started my car again ... n start taking route to my office ... when I heard voice ' Daddy'
I looked at Aria ' shit' I forget she was there too
' shit' Aria said
Fuck whats wrong with me to use such words in front of three year old...
' ok don't say this its a bad word'
Emma excitedly run.... Aria saw her daddy that puts a big smile in her face n she run to him like emma ... I tired to stop her like always but she never lose hope ...
Aria said ' hello daddy' n put her hands in air ... indicating that she wants to be picked like emma
Alex looked at her strangely then he said ' good evening Aria ' in his emotionless voice
Aria face dropped n she looked so confused ... my heart breaks for her every time ... she run to me n hide her face behind my leg .... like she is embarrassed her daddy ignore her again... I gently picked her n kissed her cheeks ... why Alex why ... after all this time when she gets a little attention from you ... you take away from her again.
Alex looked at me awkwardly n said ' im going to take a shower ' n then he was gone
Dinner was silent except Emma was chatting about her day n Aria was quite
Emma said ' I want to eat chocolates '
I replied ' no ... you are not ... first dinner then sweets ok'
' but mama..' emma fussed
Aria also replied ' I don't want to eat ... '
Emma said ' Looked mama we both want to eat chocolates '
I replied ' emma ... I told you first dinner'
Emma said ' no im going to eat chocolates first.. come Aria'
I replied ' Emma ... don't misbehave ... its bad manner n dont teach that to your small sister ... you are big sister she learn things from you'
Alex angrily replied ' n who are you to say this to my daughter ... I know thats bad manner but kate don't use this tone in front of her again .. use it with your daughter n teach her all manner you want'
I looked shocked at Alex .... how dare he... after all this he is asking who the hell im to emma... I can't control my tears n they start falling ... I said ' excuse me'
And with that I left the table .
I was in my room ... n I cried ... Alex can say this to me I can't believe that... nothing is change ... im the second best always ..
