"Mom, I can not handle her anymore."

"Oh sweetie your grandma isn't that bad." My moms fake voice that I've grown up listening to her use and could easily point out from a mile away.

"Your fake voice is showing."

She pauses for a few seconds, "What fake voice?"

"Mom, I can't handle her anymore. She's gone through at least ten bottles of wine within a week."

"You know how she is honey. She drinks but she's so funny."

"Then why is it you don't want to spend any time with her huh?"

"Because I spent 18 years with her I've spent plenty of time with her trust me."

"I'm hearing lots of bullsh-"

"Ana honey! I'm out of wine again!"

I roll my eyes.

"Could you hear me roll my eyes mother."

"No that would be weird."

"Whatever. Mom I really think she should come stay with you for a day or two ya know."

"Ana you know Bob doesn't like her but I have to go now dear. I'll talk to you later. I love you bye!" And then there's just a beep on the other end.

I throw the phone on to my bed and head toward the girls rooms. They've been asleep for a while, always taking good naps, and it's almost dinner time. Ariel is just waking up when I come in and is stretching in her crib.

"Hey baby." I say in a happy and bubbly voice, "Did you sleep good my beautiful babygirl." I rest her head on my shoulder and head through the play room into Ella's room. Ella is still sleeping soundly but will need to wake up for food. I set Ariel down in a bouncy seat and start to wake Ella up. I start by lightly rubbing her face.

"Ella it's time to wake up baby." I start to pick her up and see her eyes flutter, "Wake up babygirl." She lets out a little gurgle sound and forms a smile.

I've gotten carrying both of them at the same time down to an art at this point. I adjust Ella to my left side and pick up Ariel from the bouncy seat and put her to my right. I carefully walk down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Sweetie will you put some bottles in the maker please."

Christian grabs two bottles of already made formula and throws them in our bottle maker. He kisses my cheek quickly as he walks past me.

"Your grandma needs more wine apparently."

"I heard. Mom still isn't willing to let her come stay with her."

"Well she leave on Sunday baby so only four more days. And don't forget Thursday the man is coming to install the new security system and Friday I have that meeting at eleven."

I nod and set the girls down in their bouncy seats where we feed them on the counter. I hand them a little stuffed toy animal and went to the calender and wrote down the information that Christian has told me. When I finish I see Christian turning around and testing the milk then handing it to the girls.

"We should go out tonight." Christian says randomly as he turns and leans against the counter.

"I don't know."

"We should. We'll have your grandma watch the babies and tell her we'll get her wine after we leave. Go get in the shower and I'll tell your grandma."

I look at him, "I just don't know, ya know Elena is still out there some where."

"We already have the normal alarm system I'll show her how to set it and everything and leave the numbers to call should she get concerned. Now go get ready. Dress nice! We'll leave at 6. Go."

"Fine!" I say playfully and walk off to our room.

I get in the shower and let the steam from the hot water surround me. I wash my hair with strawberry shampoo and let my conditioner sit while I shave my legs and under my arms. I rinse the conditioner out and wash my face. I turn the water off and slide the door open and grab my towel. I towel dry myself off and then step out onto the mat beside the shower and finish drying off. I wrap the towel around my body and throw another towel around my hair.

I put my moisturizer on and start to blow-dry my hair. When it's completely dry I plug-in my hair straightener and begin to go over my hair. It's straight and falls perfectly down my back when I finish. I leave it plugged it in but turned down while I pick out my outfit for the night. I decide on a teal dress with a lace print over it and matte black heels. Since I got out of the hospital we've had Christian's personal trainer come and do light work outs. And even though I still need to lose a bit of weight I can suck in and squeeze into some of my old clothes. To night I will just have to hold my breath and it doesn't look too bad. I pull my bangs up and out of my face while I put on my make-up. Light foundation, smokey eye, and a nearly invisible pink lipstick. I pull my bangs back down and go over then again with the straightener before unplugging it.

There's a knock on the bathroom door, "Ana honey can I come in?" It's my grandma's voice.

"Sure grandma."

She opens the door and walks beside me where she leans again the counter, "You look amazing. I wish I had looked that good after I had your mama. Lord she ruined my figure for years. Up until I had her everybody wanted me and after her birth I was forced to be with the shit called her father."

"Oh grandpa."

"The day I left that man's house my soul was free. And I got my men back." She winks causing me to make a face, "Now by then your mama was probably five or six so that was a problem in its own. Maybe that's why she's been married so many damn times. Always needed a man, since she was fifteen if she wasn't dating one she was breaking up with one."

I just lightly smile. What's funny is that grandma is the same way.

"I'll watch the babies good you know. I know you don't think I'm the best at raising babies and what not, and I'm not perfect, but I won't let that woman get in this house. You ain't ever seen your old granny fight." She winks again.

"Well that makes me feel better grandma. Thank you."

"It's no problem babygirl." She kisses my cheek, leaving a bright red lipstick stain, and then rubs it off. "Now y'all go have fun at dinner all right?"

"Okay grandma."

"And don't forget the wine. And none of that cheap shit either." She laughs and walks out while I just shake my head.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I know it's pretty short but I didn't want to leave y'all hanging any longer! Let me know what you think!
