A/N: So glad people love the last few chapters. Thanks again .
McKenzie woke up after only having 4 hours of sleep and took her daughter downstairs. Her dad was outside making a little rocking chair for Aubree. She was feeding her daughter when the house phone rang.
"Morris residence." She said answering.
"What are you doing?" Amber asked on the other end. "Want to go shopping today?"
"Sure." She said. "I'll have to get ready and get Aubree ready. Pick me up around 2."
"Alright, see you then."
She hung up the phone and looked at her daughter who had ketchup from her eggs all on her face. She giggled and cleaned her up.
"Want to go to the mall with Aunt Amber today, Bree?" She asked.
Her dad comes in for something to drink.
"Hey kiddo." He said picking his granddaughter up and looked at his daughter. "Wow, Mac…you look like crap..."
"Gee, thanks, dad." She said sarcastically.
"I didn't mean it that way, did you get any sleep last night?"
"Not much." She said. "Can you watch her for a few minutes? I'm going to get a shower."
"Sure."
McKenzie took a quick shower and blow dried her hair. She pulled it up into a ponytail and applied little makeup. She picked out some shorts, a Cornelia Marie t-shirt and her teal flip-flops. She grabbed Aubree from her dad and gave her a bath. She slipped some clothes on her daughter when the doorbell rang.
"Mac, Amber's here!" She heard her dad yell.
She slipped on Aubree's shoes and grabbed her purse and diaper bag.
"Hi, Aubree." Amber said picking up the little girl. "Let's go buy you something today."
"Don't encourage her, Am." McKenzie chuckled. "Or my credit card will be maxed out."
Amber giggled. They said bye to her father and Mac made sure the stroller was in the back and they were off to the mall.
There were at the mall for a couple of hours and McKenzie was in a trace the whole time.
"What's going on with you today?" Amber asked her friend. "You've been out of it."
"Sorry." McKenzie sighed. "I'm just tired."
They bought a lot of stuff and headed back to her dad's, unloaded the bags and went inside.
"Look, it's finished." Mark told the girls showing them the soft pink rocking chair.
"Dad, it's perfect."
Aubree loved her new chair and sat down in front of the t.v. The adults chuckled. Her dad left soon after saying he was going over to Matt's to help him fix something. Amber stayed for another hour and left.
"Well, Bree…it's just you and mommy." She told her daughter. "What do you wanna do?"
"Dora, Mommy." The little girl said pointing to one of her favorite cartoons on t.v.
"Ok." She giggled. "We'll watch Dora."
McKenzie didn't watch much t.v.; she just kept replaying what happened between her and Jake inside her head over and over.
She got up to make her daughter something to drink.
"What the hell is wrong with you, McKenzie Noelle?" She asked herself as she poured juice in the little girl's sippy cup. "Get a grip. You're with Zach and you're happy."
She kept repeating the phrase in her head, as she walked back in the livingroom. It had been a long day and before she knew it, she woke up to the phone ringing. It was now dark outside and her daughter was asleep beside her. She got up and picked the phone up before it woke up her daughter.
"Hello?"
"Mac, you need to come to the hospital." Her brother said.
"Why?" She asked in a panic. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know…I think Dad just had a stroke." He told her. "Chel and I are following the ambulance now."
"Ok, I'm on my way."
She didn't wait for her brother to say anything else. She woke up her daughter and grabbed their things. She headed to the hospital as fast as she could.
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter.
