Ally's POV
I woke up early. It was Friday morning and I had to get the kids ready for school. I have three kids Adalyn; 3, Sarah; 6, and Anna; 7. I was 17 when I had Anna and the other's followed. You may ask where their father was. We had gotten a divorce shortly after Anna was born. I didn't know anything was wrong but one day he suddenly decided he was over it and he left. He got the kids every other weekend. This was his weekend so after school I had to meet him in the parking lot of the old store where we always met.
"Anna, Sarah it's time to get ready for school." I called into their room. Sarah came to the door and told me they were getting ready. I laughed quietly and went to get Adalyn. She was too young to go to school so I kept her with me most days. I put her in a little pink and green dress and put on white slippers. She ran out the door and yelled pancakes. She got her love of pancakes from her father. I started making breakfast and Sarah and Anna came downstairs. Sarah was wearing a blue dress white leggings and flats and Anna was wearing a similar outfit but in red. I smiled at them and sat the pancakes in front of them. I put juice next to each of them and I heard the doorbell.
"Hey Trish." I said when I saw it was her.
"I'm going to kill him." She said.
"Who?" I asked.
"Dez." She said and I rolled my eyes. Dez was Trish's husband and he happened to be best friends with my ex-husband.
"What did he do this time?" I asked.
"He put my white dress in the washer white the red load and now it's pink." She said.
"Mistakes happen." I said.
"With him they always happen. I don't know if I can do it anymore Ally." She said seriously. I looked at her for a moment.
"Come with me while I take the girls to school. We'll talk about this together." I said.
"Thank You." She hugged me. We went into the kitchen and the girls had already put their dishes in the sink.
"Hey Aunt Trish." They said in unison. She smiled at all of them. I knew she wanted kids but she and Dez had been trying for a while with no luck. We all got up and I strapped Adalyn in to the baby seat while the other girls got in. I finally got into the driver's seat and we were off. I dropped the girls off at the front and drove to a store. I looked at Trish and smiled.
"We're going shopping?" She asked.
"Yep. We'll talk after you've calmed down a little." I said. We shopped for a while and we both bought a few things. We drove home in contented silence. Since we were gone so long Adalyn had fallen asleep in the car and when we parked Trish got my things while I got her. I put her down in her room and came out to find Trish sitting on the couch.
"Are you ready to talk now?" I asked. She nodded.
"Dez is driving me crazy. I thought he would grow up once we got married and had to move out of our parents houses but he's still just as childish. I can't handle him." She said.
"Okay, I get that Dez is a little strange but we all knew that before you two got married." I said gently.
"I know. I think it's a combination of things. His being childish, not being able to have kids not matter how hard we try. I just want so many things, so badly Ally. I'm afraid that if I don't leave know I'll never get them." She said. I looked at her for a moment.
"Do you love him?" I asked.
"Of course."
"Look, I'm not going to tell you what to do, but think about it. When you look into your heart do you still see yourself with him? I would hate for your marriage to fall apart because of something you can work on to make better. Think before you act, this decision will affect the rest of your life." I said and she nodded.
We watched TV for a while together and she got up to go back home. I hugged her and after she left I started reading a book. Adalyn came in and smiled at me.
"Hi, mommy." She said. I laughed.
"Hi, sweetie pie. How are you?" I asked.
"Good." She said and laid on my lap. "Mommy, why doesn't daddy live with us?" she asked looking up.
"I don't know, baby girl." I said and kissed the top of her head. She had slept through lunch so I made he a snack before grabbing the keys to go get the girls. When I opened the door my dad was standing there. Great just what I needed. We hadn't gotten along since I married Austin when I turned 18.
"Hey Ally, do you need someone to take the kids this weekend? I heard you and Trish were having a girls weekend." He said.
"You know Austin has the kids this weekend." I said. I covered Adalyn's ears because I knew what was coming next.
"He shouldn't have the right he's nothing but a sperm donor." Dad said and I rolled my eyes.
"I've got to go." I said locking the door. I got in the car and drove away. I picked up the girls and drove to the parking lot. Austin was leaning against his car. He looked the same as he always had. He was wearing a red t-shirt with a black jacket over it and black skinny jeans. On his feet were red converse. I got out and got Adalyn out of the seat. Anna and Sarah had already ran up to him. I walked closer carrying Adalyn. He looked at me and smiled lightly.
"Mommy will you go out to dinner with us?" Anna said. I looked down at her questioningly.
"Daddy said he was going to take us to dinner. Will you come?" She asked again. I sighed and finally said
"Sure."
