AN: Sorry it took so long to update, please Read and Review =)
Chapter 4 ~ "I gotta get through this, I gotta make it through. Said I'm gonna get through this, I gotta take my mind off you."
I listened to Peyton and took the day off of work. I took Emma to the park and she had the most amazing time, especially when se went down the slide. Afterwards we got some ice – cream, and I wanted to just stop by the store to make sure everything was running smoothly. Millie had the store under control; so I was going to do a little shopping and get some stuff for Emma, but it was getting close to the time where she would be taking a nap and I knew that she would get fussy since I forgot her purple money that Aunt Peyton got here; she never goes to sleep without it. We went home and as soon as we walked in, Emma went right for her purple monkey. She must have been extremely tired; I guess the park wore her out. While she grabbed her monkey, I played the voicemail that was on the answering machine.
"Hey B. Davis and Emma, just wanted to let you guys know that I got plane tickets for tonight; the flight lands at uhh… 9 PM. I know that is real late and past Emma's bedtime, but can you pick me up? If not, I'll grab a taxi and be at the apartment. Love you guys and I can't wait to see you soon."
"Did you hear that, my sweet baby girl? Aunt Peyton's coming over tonight."
Immediately Emma got all excited when Peyton's name left my mouth. She really did love her Aunt, and honestly I wouldn't have made it through these past couple of years without her; she was my rock. Realizing that it was currently 4, I decided to hold off on giving Emma her nap because we were going to be up late. We played in the living room for a little while, and then she fell asleep curled up with her purple monkey. Thank god, she did didn't put up a fuss fell right asleep. This left me with about two hours to clean up the apartment for Peyton and possibly the rest of the Jagielski clan… Jake… Jenny... and Ayden. The spare bedroom was cleaned, which Jake and Peyton sleep in. Ayden would take Emma's crib and Emma would stay in bed with me. The only problem would be where Jenny would sleep; I guess we'll figure that out when the time comes. I was so excited to see them, especially the baby. I've only seen the pictures Peyton sent me; I wasn't able to fly out to California when he was born because of meetings that the head CEO of Clothes over Bro's couldn't get out of. Peyton was understanding and knew that I would come out with Emma as soon as I had the chance. Pretty soon Emma was up and it was time for dinner. I kept it simple for tonight, simple pasta with marinara sauce. I put Emma in the living room with Baby Einstein on and she was occupied while I was cooking. Considering I was making pasta, it didn't take long to make.
"Come on Em…time to eat." I said, and she ran into my out stretched arms.
I love that about her, she runs to me whenever she hears her name leave my mouth. I picked her up and started giving her raspberries on her stomach, and that through her into a fit of giggles. And that truly puts a smile on my face. We sat down and started to eat, well mostly Emma ate cuz I wasn't hungry; a certain boy was on my mind and how much I missed him. But I had to push that thought away because Emma was done eating and now needed a bath since most of her food was her head and lap. I gave her and bath and let her play in there for a few minutes while I called the airline to make sure Peyton's flight would be coming in on time and it was. I dried her off and put her PJs on; she wasn't tired yet, but we sat down together and watched TV. Emma started to fall asleep after an hour had past, but it was time to go; so we got in the car, me in the driver's seat, and Emma in her car seat in the back, and we drove off to the airport to pick up Peyton.
