Letty POV
"Noah, please be a good boy eat this for mommy" I pleaded with with 5 month old son with the spoon full of baby food.
"Gah" He turned his head away from the spoon avoiding it yet again.
"Baby please" I was exhausted Noah was up all night, Sophia is in this phase of singing at night when she should be sleeping, and Bella she was sneaking out of her room to watch movies in the tv room at night.
Of course Dom would help but the last two nights he has been complaining that he is tired which has caused us to fight since this morning.
"Vrooooom" I tried making a car sound so he would open his mouth and take it but still no such luck. Then he reached for it with his hands I smiled thinking he would eat but no...He grabbed the food and threw it in my hair.
"Why won't you eat Noah" I slammed the food down on the counter I pulled Noah out of his high chair and put him on my hip and carried him around the house before setting him in his swing while I tidied up a bit. I swear this house can't stay clean for more than 5 minutes.
I just finished picking up the toys and started to wipe the floors, halfway through the front door opened and my daughters ran in the house.
"Mommy!" They said running up to hug me with their dirty shoes still on.
"No girls! Mommy just washed the floors." I sighed putting my head down.
"Sorry mommy" they said putting their heads down feeling bad which made me felt even worse.
"It's ok, I can do them again. How was school ?" I smiled hugging them.
"It was fun! We coloured pictures and read stories !" Sophia said.
"You did! Did you bring mommy any pictures?!"
"Yes!"
"What about you Bella?"
"It was fine"
"What did you do?"
"Handwriting, and I hate it!"
"Aw babe, it's not easy it took mommy a long time to learn how, even daddy isn't very good at it. We will work on it together ok?"
"Ok" Dom walked in behind them holding their backpacks, like me he looked exhausted but we were still fighting so I tried to not feel bad either.
I saw Noah starting to fuss and I wanted to get these floors clean. So I picked him up and bounced him to calm him down.
"Baby, why so fussy?" I cooed at him bouncy him lightly which made him scream louder. I walked over and tried to hold him out to Dom.
"Can you please take him I need to finish"
"Letty I just walked in the door let me breathe for a second" This made me see red.
"Breathe for a second ? Are you fucking kidding me right now! I haven't had a chance to fucking breathe in a week Dom! I'm cooking cleaning trying to get him to eat getting the girls ready, I barely leave this house, I'm up all night and you need to breathe for a second !" I screamed I just snapped.
"Mommy you said bad word put a quarter in the swea-"
"Sophia ! Not now, go to your room..NOW!"
"Letty, calm do-"
"Dominic, do not tell me to calm down!" I stormed off upstairs sitting on my bed with Noah in my arms attempting to nurse him hoping that might work. At my attempt I heard Sophia crying in her room, great job Letty. I was about to go check on her but I heard her and Dom talking.
"I didn't mean to make mommy mad" She cried which broke my heart.
"I know Princess, it's not your fault it's daddy's. Mommy is just really tired so we have to all help out to make it fair on her ok?"
"Are you and mommy going to live in other houses?" Hearing that made me freeze up. I know Dom and I have been fighting but in no way did that mean we were separating, I love him way too much to leave him and it broke my heart that my daughter thought we were.
"Oh no baby, come here. Mommy and I love each other so much. We will never ever separate ok? Why did you think that?"
"I heard Billy Fader say his mommy and daddy yelled at eachother then his daddy left to live at another house because they don't love eachother." She said sadly.
"Well baby mommy and I love eachother very much so you never have to worry about that. Sometimes grownups get upset and it makes us shout but that doesn't mean we don't love eachother we do."
"Ok daddy"
"Go play with your sister for a bit ok? I'm going to talk to mommy."
"But daddy, she's annoying"
"Sophia, remember we're taking it easy on mommy so place nice"
"Ok daddy, loveyou."
"I loveyou more princess."
I sat on the bed and heard Dom come in. He smiled softly at me and sat next to me on the bed putting his arm around me pulling me close. I felt myself calm down and when I did Noah started to nurse.
"Finally" I said and Dom looked at me confused.
"He wouldn't eat anything, wouldn't breastfeed, wouldn't take the bottle. Nothing"
"I'm sorry babe"
"I know, I'm sorry for snapping. I'm just exhausted, Noah's not sleeping, Sophia's singing frozen all hours of the night, Bella sneaking out of her room to watch movies, trying to cook, clean get the girls ready when you're at the shop is exhausting."
Dom POV
I didn't realize how much Letty was doing, I mean I did but I was so consumed with stuff going on at the shop I was overlooking it. I watched her breastfeed Noah and she looked like she could fall asleep any second, I pulled her to me letting her lean against me running my fingers through her hair softly.
"I'm sorry Let" I said genuinely. she was clearly doing more work than I was at the garage. I saw Noah had dozed off and when she pulled him off her breast I took him from her and continued to rock him.
"You rest baby, I got the kids"
" I just want to shower" I smiled an kissed the side of her head but told her one second. I handed Noah back to her and ran to the bathroom. I cleared out all of the toys in the bathtub, we had 3 bathrooms and the kids always ended up in ours. Once I took them out I filled the jacuzzi tub with warm water and bubbles. I ran downstairs and poured a glass of wine and brought it back upstairs. Once the tub was filled with water and bubbles I lit some candles and turned the lights down.
"Let?" I called out to her while walking into our bedroom.
"It's all ready for you" I smiled proudly reaching out for her laid Noah down in his crib and followed me to the bathroom. I watched her smile from ear to ear. I closed the door and kissed her softly.
"Arms up" I told her and she did what I asked. I pulled her shirt off and pressed a kiss to her neck while i worked on getting her pants wasn't about sex this was about showing her how much I appreciate her. Ever since having kids I have gained a whole new respect for her. Not just as a strong woman or my wife but as the mother of my children. She gave up her body to give our babies life and protection and she still looks just as beautiful as the day we met if not more.
"Thank you Dom" she said pressing a kiss to my lips.
"Anything for you baby, you deserve a night off" I told her honestly handing her the glass of wine. She got into the tub and as much as I would have loved to just sit and watch her I had our kids to attend to.
"I'll be downstairs let me know if you need anything"
"Ok" She said letting her head drop to rest on the edge of the tub her full breasts barely peaking out.
I've heard the saying 'Happy wife happy life' before from the guys and they think it means don't piss her off and you'll be happy which is true but I also learnt there is a deeper meaning to that. Seeing your wife- the woman you love happy makes your whole body fill with happiness knowing they are too.
I went downstairs and saw my daughters colouring so I went over to sit with them.
"Mommy is resting for a bit ok so we're going to try and be quiet so we can let her ok?"
"Ok daddy, we should colour mommy a picture !" Sophia suggested
"Great idea Soph, Bella you want to color mommy a picture too?"
"Yes, we should make her lunch like she makes us too."
"You girls have the best ideas" The girls coloured pictures then we started on some lunch. Bella started to make a peanut butter and jam sandwich and said we should cut it like hearts because that's what she does. We added pickles and cheese on her plate too since it's her weakness since have Sophia. Bella added an orange, a granola bar, and some crackers. I smiled and grabbed their pictures and the tray of food and went back upstairs to Letty who was still peacefully relaxing in the tub listening to music with her eyes closed.
I went over to her and ran a hand down her arm making her jump slightly. I chuckled and apologized.
"It's ok, what's that?"
"This is our gift to you" I said showing her the food which made her laugh too and then she looked at the pictures made by our daughters.
'Mommy you are the bestest mommy in the hole wide worlde! and I luv you luv Sophia'
'I luv you mommy your my best frend ever thankyou four being the best mommy ever! luv Isabella'
I watched her smile reading the notes our kids left on her pictures.
" I love you " She said, I leaned in to kiss her "I love you too Letty"
