Summary: What's going on you two? I could hear you yelling all the way downstairs
Olivia's Day With The Twins
"Liv, you're going to be ok with the girls today? You know what happened the last time I left you alone with them?" Melinda said, laughing.
"Yeah, well that was my first time having the girls by myself. I'm good now, don't worry. We're going to the movies to see Shrek Forever, and then I'm going to take them to the park afterwards. The girls and I are going to have fun today watch, you'll see", Olivia said as fixed Taylor and Mackenzie's breakfast.
"Ok, well I got to run, see ya tonight", Melinda said as she walked over and gave Olivia one of her wet kisses.
"Bye mommy, the girls said at the same time".
"Bye my two sweethearts, love you", Melinda said as she gave them both a big hug and a kiss on the forehead. "Be good to mommy today, ok".
"Ok," the girls said.
The girls finished breakfast and went upstairs to pick out their clothes for today. They're very smart to be 4 and half years old. The money Olivia and Melinda are spending on their tuition is definitely worth it. Olivia is down stairs cleaning up the kitchen and she hears Mackenzie yell.
"Moommmmmy, Taylor took my shirt. Give it back"
"No, mommy buy this for me not you", says Taylor
"Taylor give it to me...give it to me"
"No"
"Give it to me now" said Mackenzie
"No"
"Mommy…..mommy…. make Taylor give me the shirt".
"Good Lord, it's only 9am and they're at it all ready" Olivia thinks to herself.
Olivia ran upstairs and enters the girls' room.
"What's going on you two? I could hear you yelling all the way downstairs".
"Mommy", the girls said at the same time as one tried to drown out the other explaining their side of the story.
"Wait, hold on. I can only hear one of you at a time", Olivia says. "Taylor, what happened"?
"That's not fair", says Mackenzie. "You get to hear Taylor side of the story first".
"Well, Ok than Mackenzie you go first" Olivia said.
"Mommy, that's not fair, you said I could go first".
"Gee girls, I tell you what, I will pick out your clothes for the day, ok".
"Ok", said Mackenzie.
"Ok, but don't pick green", Taylor said. "I don't like green".
"Me either", says Mackenzie.
"You got a deal", Olivia says smiling.
"See, that wasn't bad at all", Olivia thought to herself. "I'm a damn good detective at work and Mel, thinks I can't handle the kids. Heck I solved that problem in two minutes".
Olivia ran their bath and let them playing in the tub while she ironed their clothes. Olivia then took a shower of her own. Olivia got out the shower and they all got dressed for the day.
"Girls, it's 11 o'clock, it's time to go. The movie starts in 30 minutes"
"Ok, we ready mommy" says Taylor.
Olivia and the girls leave their home and heads for the movies.
"One adult and two kids for Shrek Forever" Olivia says to the girl.
"That will be $22.50, Ma'am. Thank you and enjoy the movie".
"Mommy, popcorn, can we get popcorn?" Mackenzie says.
"Yes, we're getting popcorn".
"Can we get candy too, Taylor says".
"Yes, we can get candy too".
Olivia had a hard time saying, No, to the girls. This is where she and Melinda disagree the most. Melinda is the disciplinary in the family, while Olivia let the girls do whatever they want. She buys popcorn, sodas and candy for the movie. They walk into the theater and take a seat. The movie has only been on for 20 minutes then..
"Mommy, I gotta use the bathroom", Taylor tells her.
"Ok, come on lets go. Mackenzie, you have to come also"
"Why mommy? I don't have to use the bathroom".
"I'm not going to leave you here by yourself, so lets go".
"Ok….I'm coming", Mackenzie says disappointedly.
They return from the bathroom and start to watch the rest of the movie. 30 minutes have passed by.
"Mommy, I gotta use the bathroom now" Mackenzie said. "I drank too much soda".
"Ok, come on Taylor lets take you sister to the bathroom"
A few minutes later, they all returned to their seats.
"Mommy"….Taylor said before being cut off by Olivia.
"Let me guess, you have to use the bathroom?" Olivia says.
"No" says Taylor.
"Well, what is it sweetheart?" Olivia says to Taylor.
"Can we go to the park now?"
"Yeah, can we mommy?" says Mackenzie.
"The movie isn't over yet. There's about 30 minutes left, you don't want to see the end?" Olivia says to her daughters.
"No, we want to go to the park" the girls say.
Olivia gave in. Her and the girls left the movie theater and headed for The KinderPark. This park was for kids 10 years old and under. Melinda and Olivia would take them to the park at least once a week. They loved the swings and merry-go-round.
"Mommy…mommy…can you push me" Mackenzie says.
"Yes, sweetheart" Olivia says. "Taylor, don't swing so high, it's dangerous".
"Weeee, Mommy look at me", Taylor say, as she continues to swing.
"Sweetie, slow down. You're swinging too high"
"Ok mommy" Taylor says.
20 minutes passes by and the twins hear the sound of the ice cream truck. They both run up to Olivia with a big smile on their face.
"Mommy, the ice cream truck is here, can we have a Popsicle" Mackenzie says.
"Please…please mommy"
"Ok" says Olivia.
After eating their popsicles, the girls got on the merry-go-round.
"Mommy, faster…faster…mommy" Taylor said, as Olivia pushed them on the merry-go-round.
"Ok, hold on you two"
Olivia pushed them for about 10 minutes before stopping. The girls were dizzy and could barely walk straight. Olivia took a hold of their hands.
"Ok, it's time to go home now" Olivia says to the girls.
"Mommy…mommy, I don't feel….
Just as Mackenzie tries to tell her mother she feels sick. Mackenzie vomits all over her mother's pants and shoes.
"aaaww sweetie, you got sick from the merry-go-round" Olivia says. "Olivia takes the girls into the bathroom and washes out Mackenzie's mouth and washes Mackenzie's face off. She then, rinse off her pants and shoes. Olivia picks up Mackenzie in one arm.
"Taylor, grab a hold of my hand" Olivia says, as she heads for the new SUV Melinda bought her for her birthday.
It was more like a gift for the family instead. Olivia has a 1966 Mustang and Melinda has a '09 BMW 745 series. They needed a family vehicle because their cars were too small for the four of them.
Olivia pulled up to the house…
"Come on girls, we're home" she says.
"Mommy, Kenzie is asleep", Taylor says.
"Ok, I will get her. Sweetheart could you grab mommy's bag"
"Yes ma'am", Taylor says.
Before Olivia could open the door, Mackenzie vomits again. This time she vomits all over Olivia's back.
"Oh Gosh, Mackenzie" Olivia says.
Olivia puts Mackenzie down and takes off her shirt. She has a tank top under the shirt Mackenzie vomited on. She opens the front door.
"Taylor, put the bag down in the living room for mommy, please"
"Ok"
"Come on sweetie, I'm going to put you to bed" Olivia says to Mackenzie.
Olivia feels Mackenzie's forehead… "Good Lord, you're burning up" she says, looking at her sick daughter.
Olivia goes into the master bathroom and gets a thermometer. "Ok sweetheart, I need for you to open your mouth for mommy and place this under your tongue. 30 seconds passes by then the thermometer beeps.
"Oh No, 103. I got to get you to the hospital" Olivia says to her daughter.
"Mommy, am I going to be alright?" Mackenzie says as she starts to cry.
"You're going to be fine, we just need to get you there so the doctor can check you out" Olivia says with a concerned look on her face.
Olivia arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later. She calls Melinda to inform her of Mackenzie's situation. Melinda rushes to Mackenzie's side.
"What happened? She was fine this morning" Melinda says to Olivia.
"Yeah, she was fine, but then after she got off the merry-go-round she began vomiting. I thought it was because she was dizzy but when we got home, I noticed she was burning up so I checked her temperature and it was 103."
"Liv, baby, what did she eat today?" Mel said.
"She only had breakfast and what we ate at the movies and a Popsicle at the park"
Doctor Connor walks in the room….
"Doctor Benson, I'm surprised to see you here" says Dr. Connor.
"Olivia called me and I rushed right up to see what was going on with Mackenzie"
"Well, don't worry. It looks like the little one has a stomach virus. She had a fever of 103 but that broke. Now her temperature is 99 degrees. Nothing to be too concerned about" Dr. Connor tell the Bensons. "Doctor Benson, you know the deal, give her plenty of liquid, nothing hard and no junk food."
"What a relief" Olivia thought to herself.
"Sweetie, you're ready to go home" Melinda says to Mackenzie.
"Yes, mommy"
"Ok, lets go"
When the Bensons got home, Olivia cooked dinner and made Chicken Noodle soup for Mackenzie.
"So, how was your day with the twins?" Mel said at the dinner table. "Did you girls have fun?" she said, smiling at Liv.
"Funny Mel, you need to stick to your daytime job" an upset Liv said.
"Sweetie, I was joking"
"You always do this to me?" Liv said as she leaves the dinner table.
" Liv…Liv, baby" Mel says as she runs after Liv.
"I'm sorry, I was just kidding."
"I know I'm a good wife but I feel like a failure when it comes to the girls" Liv says crying. "Every time I decide to spend time with them, something happens. Mel, what am I doing wrong?"
"Sweetheart, you did nothing wrong. Mackenzie has a stomach virus. She most likely got it from school, with all the germs at schools these days. You're a wonderful mother and I love you for that. I think you're a better mother than I am"
"Really" Liv says.
"Really" says Mel.
"In a way, I'm a little envious because you get to spend more time with them than I do. Don't you see how much the girls adore you? How much they love you? The next time you feel insecure about being a mother, just look into those two little girls eyes. You will see the love they have for you"
"You're right, I don't know what came over me". Olivia says.
Mel and Liv sit back down at the dinner table with the twins.
"Mommy" Mackenzie says to Olivia.
"Yes sweetie"
"I love you" Mackenzie says.
"I love you too sweetie" Olivia says with tears in her eyes.
