Chapter 10
Six Flag fun
So today Sam, Michelle, Michael, Jayden, Trevor, and there friend Lewis and me are all going to 6 flags. Sam is so excited to ride his first rollercoaster. Troy is staying home with Christopher so then I can also ride the rides! I have to admit I was also excited!
"C'mon little man we have to go and pick everyone up!" I said. I walked into the living room where troy was lying on the couch and Chris was in his swing.
"Bye baby mommas gonna miss you" I said kissing Chris making him laugh.
Then I stood back up and looked at troy.
"You better stay awake!" I said.
"I will!" he said. I rolled my eyes and kissed him.
"You've been moody lately" he said.
"Hey!"
It's true though…I have been a little moody….
"Ok mom I'm ready!" Sam said.
We walked out into the car and we picked up Jayden and Trevor. Trevor I have noticed is a lot quieter…he's just really different.
"Hey guys" I said.
"Hey nana"
"Hey gab" they said.
"Jay text Lewis and tell him to tell his mom we're on our way" I said.
"Oh uh…Lewis isn't coming…" Jayden said.
"Oh well ok. Sam get my phone out and text her" I said. he nodded.
It took only a few minutes till we pulled into there house.
"Sam move to the back" I said.
"Ok" he said. They came outside and they hopped in.
"Hey Mike" I said.
"Hey Mrs. Bolton" he said. I smiled I still like hearing that.
"Hey Michelle"
"Hey Gabs" she sighed. She looked stressed and tired…
We got to 6 flags in about 10 minutes.
"Ok Jayden and Trevor you guys can go off but Jay keep your phone on and I'll text you when we can meet up for lunch" I said.
"Ok" he said.
"Mom can we go with uncle Jayden and Trevor!" Sam said.
I looked up at jay and he looked at Trevor who just shrugged.
"Yea sure c'mon little man" Jayden said. I smiled.
"Jay starts off with a small ride with him first please!" I said.
"Gabi stop being such a mom!" Jayden yelled. I laughed.
"C'mon Michelle" I said. We walked around for a little bit and went to the water park. I just got my old body back and I am so showing it off in a bikini!
We were lying on the chairs and I finally asked.
"So where's Lewis?" I asked. She sighed.
"We're having some trouble with him…"
"What kind of trouble…if you don't mind me asking" I said.
"I found some stuff in his room…no I wasn't snooping all I did was walk in there and saw it! I don't know how to confront him about it…" she said.
I could see it in her eyes she was really concerned about it.
"I'm so sorry Michelle" I said.
"But I feel like I can't yell or be mad at him! I mean you remember high school!"
"yea I do…but I also remember that if he isn't being really careful about it then he;s not that into it"
"I was just going to keep an eye on it for awhile and if he keeps doing it then I will confront him…but I'm scared…what if he doesn't stop and what if I'm catchin him too late!"
"Do what you said keep an eye on him…if he comes home everyday high then be like Lewis we need to talk…" I said.
"Should I tell Larry?"
"That is all on you. I can't give you advice about that hun" I said.
"Gee thanks" she said.
We spent the rest of the time talking about the boys and high school and stuff.
I got a call a few hours later.
"Hello?"
"Nana…we're hungry" Jayden said.
"Ok uh…meet us at the front of the park" I said.
"The boys are hungry" I said. She laughed we got our stuff and walked to the front of the park.
"Mom!!!" we heard two boys call to us. We looked over and saw them running to us.
"Hey guys!" I said.
"Mom I rode all the big rides!" Sam said.
"Awesome!" I said.
"Yea mom I'm tired" mike said.
I looked at Sam and he was rubbing his eyes.
"I think it's time to go…" I said. Michelle nodded.
"Yea they were getting tired on some of the rides" Jayden's said.
"Look if you guys want to go for another hour and hang out while we eat you can" I said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yea we can pick you guys up some drive thru or something on the way home" I said.
"Thanks Gabi!" Trevor said. They left.
We went to the pavilion and ate, the whole time the boys told us about the rides they rode.
It was already 5 and troy should be at his wits end with Chris.
"Ok boys c'mon" Michelle said.
"Mrs. Daniels can Mike spend the night tonight?" Sam asked. Wow I'm glad I knew about this plan!
"Please mom!" mike said. I had to say yes…I can't say no to those faces!
"If it's ok with Mrs. Bolton" she said.
"Yea sure mike you can come over" I said.
"Yes!" they said. I laughed.
"Are you sure?" she said.
"Yea it's no problem" I said.
We met up with the boys and got in the car.
"Jay are you guys coming back with me for awhile?" I said.
"Yea" Jayden said.
"You can drop us off and I can drop him off. He needs a shower and all" Michelle said.
"Ok"
"Mike honey me and you are going home and you can shower and all and I'll drop you off later" she told them.
'Ok" he said. We dropped them off and then drove home.
When we got there I plopped on the couch and Christopher came crawling over.
"Hey baby" I said picking him up.
"Sam goes get in a shower and straighten up your room before Michael gets here!" I said.
"What?" troy asked.
"Ok mom!" he said.
"Sam's friend Michael is spending the night tonight" I said.
"Uhhhh ok" troy said. I rolled my eyes. Chris was lying on my chest half way asleep.
"Troy did you put him down for a nap today?"
"No he didn't want to go to sleep"
"Troy! He was supposed to nap at 2 so then he wouldn't get tired around this time and then he would sleep and then won't go to sleep at bed time!" I said.
"Sorry Brielle" he said.
"Ugh!" I said walking up the stairs.
"What's your problem Brielle!" he followed me.
"I leave you alone with your son for a few hours and you can't even handle that!" I said.
"I told you he wasn't tired!"
"Yea well now we are going to be tired because he isn't going to sleep tonight!" I said.
"You're blowing this up more then it needs to be!! I said I was sorry!"
"Fine whatever ok it's fine I'll take care of him" I said.
I don't even know why I'm in such bad mood. I don't even know why im yelling at troy right now!
"Ugh! I am really tired of your bad mood and can't wait till your not pmsn anymore!" he said.
"You know what troy! Just go for the night ok!" I said.
"Fine" he said grabbing his jacket and leaving. I walked out of the baby's room and downstairs.
"Nana?" Jayden said.
"Hey Jay…" I said.
"You ok?"
"Yea…look if you and Trevor wanna stay the night too you can" I said.
"You sure?"
"Yea, I'm going to need some help with the boys" I said.
"Ok I'll tell Trevor"
"I'll call mami and Lucy" I said. Right when I got downstairs Chris started crying.
"Damn it!" I said under my breath. I walked back upstairs and picked him up. I cradled him in my arms and went downstairs. I grabbed the house phone and sat on the couch.
"Hello?" Lucy answered.
"Hey Lucy, is it ok if Trevor stays the night? Jayden is too" I said.
"Yea sure no problem. Is troy there?"
"No we got in an argument and I didn't want to argue here since Sam is having a friend stay the night'
"Oh sweetie…is it getting stressful?"
"I guess yea. I mean it's like I get like no sleep! Because it's like I have all this stuff on my mind! And troy is just…I don't know. I just feel like I know how to do things, but with him, he knows but it's still not right to me! And I know that isn't fair to troy because I know he's trying it's just…I don't even know!" I said.
"Honey all moms go through it. It'll get better ok. Tonight, make Jayden and Trevor entertain the boys and if you want I can take Chris" she said.
"No it's ok…I need some company tonight" I said. She laughed.
"Ok sweetie well I'm here whenever you guys need me" she said.
"Thanks Lucy" I said.
"No problem honey"
I hung up the phone with her.
"Chris your pain in my side…" I said. He smiled.
"I still love you though" I said. He was resting on my legs. I sighed. Then I called my mami.
"Hola?" she answered.
"Hey mami" I said.
"Oh hi mija"
"Mami can Jayden spend the night tonight? Sam is having one of his little friends spend the night and I need them to entertain them"
"That's ok mija you need me to drop some stuff off?" she asked.
"Hold on" I said.
"JAY!" I yelled.
"Yea" he said
"You need clothes?"
"Yea."
"Ok" I said.
"Yea mami" I said.
"Ok I'll be over there later on tonight then" she said.
"Ok mami" we hung up the phone and walked in the kitchen.
"You ready to eat honey" I said. He did baby babble.
I made a bottle for him with my one handed skills. Then someone knocked the door when it was heating up.
"JADYEN OR TREVOR GET THE DOOR!" I yelled. I got the bottle and started to feed it to Chris.
"Hey guys" I said. It was Michelle and Michael.
"Mike, Sam is upstairs you can go up with the boys" I said.
"Ok bye mom" he said. He followed Jayden and Trevor.
"Well here's his stuff…my phone will be on…and yep…" she said.
"Okie dokey" I said. She laughed and said goodbye and walked out.
"Well Chris…it's me and you…and your brother and uncles and mike" I said. he laughed. I went back to the living room and rested Chris on my knees again. I fed him and he ended up going to sleep. I kept him in my arms because I didn't want to risk him waking up.
"Mom" Sam said.
"Sh!" I said. They got quiet.
"What's for dinner?" he asked.
"What do you boys want….i can order a pizza or carry out…?" I said.
"Pizza" they all said.
"Ok I'll call it right now. If you guys are gonna chill down here then you have to be quiet" I said.
"It's cool Gabs, we got them covered" Trevor said.
"Thanks for letting me stay Mrs. Bolton" mike said.
"Your welcome sweetie" I said.
They all went back upstairs and I called for the pizza.
**
It's like 8 now…and mami is coming over soon. I am so tired…I really just want to sleep.
Chris is still in my arms…asleep again. He woke up when the pizza came and the boys ate, then just a few minutes ago he closed his little eyes. It's not like I don't love being a mom and wife, but I miss the freedom I had when I lived in California. I'm still working on my lines but I just can't believe that in a year troy and I got two kids and now it's like…California was so long ago. Even though it was only 2 years ago…
I miss the girls…but none of us have called each other. I'm sure they all tlak but nowon to me.
Chris was in his swing and I answered the door when mami came.
"Hi mija" she said and kissed me.
"Hi" I said. She saw the look on my face.
"Mija what's wrong?"
"Troy and I got in a bog fight and I am so tired" I said.
"C'mon honey" she said leading me to the living room.
"Tell mami what's going on" she said.
"I feel like that all that I worked for in the past was for nothing! But I love my life now but I look back and think damn I had it all!" I said. I had tears in my eyes.
"Do you regret your life now?"
"No never…I love my boys and troy. It's just…I wish I still had some of that life…"
"Mija…it's going to be ok" she said taking me in her arms. I was full on crying now.
"What was your fight with troy about?"
"It was stupid and I'm just so tired and moody so I blew it out of proportion"
"You're entitled to be in a bad mood"
"But it's not fair to him mami, he puts up with so much and I still feel like this!"
"It's a rough time that's all. All husband and wives and mom and dads get through it"
"I know…" I said. I wiped my eyes.
"Do you want me to stay tonight?"
"No, you go. I have the boys tonight so you go and have some fun" I said.
"Are you sure mija?"
"Si mami go"
"Ok baby. I'll see you tomorrow" she said. I nodded.
**
about 3 in the morning I was still in the living room with Chris. He was awake again and we were watching TV. Then I heard the door open. I looked over and saw troy. I stood up and walked out him.
"I am so sorry" I said hugging him.
"Me too baby" he said kissing my head.
