My sister-in-law had the house looking spotless for us and even baked us brownies before she had headed out to be with her friends. The brownies were on the counter with a note beside it that read "For you guys. Enjoy!" with a smiley face written on the side and I indeed smiled as I began to devour the treat with the kids and Tyson. I usually was apprehensive about the kids eating too much sweets but I let them go overboard just a little because I knew Tyson would try and convince me to let them have some type of sweet. Fortunately, they were sleepy after we let them run around the house to play with their toys and put them down for a nap for a bit so me and Tyson could spend some time together as it was needed. I had laid on the couch, just minding my own business, when someone decided they were going to lay right on top of me. Literally.

"You big baby," I said. "What do you want?"

"Your nipple," Tyson joked.

"Those still have some milk in them for Tyra."

"Okay, well let me grab a cup so I can get some milk in my system."

"Oh, shut up, Tyson!"

"Hehe."

Tyson settled behind me on the couch with one arm drooped over my stomach and the other holding his head up so he could see the t.v. I decided to tease him by gently grabbing his hand and guided it to my breast which he happily squeezed gently while letting out a small chuckle as he did so. He kissed my cheek as he continued to squeeze my breast with his free hand that was having a shit ton of fun with my milk jug that he had been craving for who knows how long but we were alone and that meant we could do whatever we pleased. As long as the kids were still napping that is.

"You like?" I said.

"Hmm, I do. Feels good to just slow down a bit for once, take it easy, and grab this milk jug."

"Enjoy it."

"Oh, I will. I'm glad I don't have to wrestle this week so I'm going to take it easy, do some workouts probably. Or probably not."

"Just stay with me then we can eat more brownies later on, do nothing, and just be lazy as long as the kids are asleep. Those two wear me out but I love them."

"I'm going to train them to be wrestlers."

"Oh? And this will happen in a gym or a training center, correct?"

"Our backyard."

"As long as it's not in the house."

"It won't be in the house. Maybe a body slam here and there on the bed or couch but that's it."

"Yeah, okay."

Tyson finished fondling my breast and had his arm back around my waist but he made sure my hand was in his as we continued to watch t.v. until we eventually fell asleep on the couch for our own nap. I didn't sleep long and when I woke up, Tyson was still knocked out when I had gotten up to get a water bottle from the fridge to quench my thirst. I enjoyed the warm weather but I was also missing the weather of Canada and wanted to enjoy it soon after Tyson was finished with work here. My cell phone started to ring in my purse that I had left on the counter so I took my phone and headed out to the backyard so I could answer my mother's phone call. We were still on good terms but I haven't been talking to them much unless they were taking care of the kids whenever me and Tyson would drop them off so they could spend time with their grandchildren and spoil them of course. I answered the phone as I stood underneath the tree in the backyard so the sun wouldn't get me.

"Hey, Mom."

"Why hello, stranger," my mother said. "How are you today?"

"I'm fine. Just here in Florida enjoying the nice weather for a bit."

"Well, that's good. You know it feels as if we don't talk much unless it's about T.J. and Tyra so I want to know how is everything with you?"

"Fine. I am now officially starring in a one woman play at a theater near my house back home and I'm very excited about that…and if you and dad want to come see me, you guys can. It'll officially open up in November. It had to get pushed back until then but it's okay."

"Me and your father will definitely be there to support you when it's time for you to take the stage. Wait: who's watching the kids when you go to the theater to practice?"

"Some of the people who run the place watch the children for me. They actually have a playroom for the little ones to be in while I'm busy with the play so it's very reassuring to have some extra assistance when Tyson isn't in town."

"Speaking of you and Tyson, I want to tell you something. I'm sorry for how me and your father acted towards you guys about raising the children. I know we tend to go overboard when it comes to being parents but just know that we think you two are doing a great damn job of raising the kids. But me and your father are grandparents so we are going to spoil the kids just a bit because it's what grandparents do, you know? Sneaking them sweets, letting them stay up late, letting them run amuck for a while. I just love my grandbabies is all."

"Understandable. Just don't let them get too hyper because me and Tyson are going to have to deal with them bouncing off the walls 24/7 but it is important for them to just be kids. I never thought I'd be a stay at home mother but I'm really enjoying it. I'm glad I was able to audition at the theater near my home so I could dance and act again…I sure did miss it."

"Well, I'm glad you had the opportunity at your fingertips and I'm even more happy you grabbed it and ran with it. How did Tyson take the news when you told him what you wanted to do?"

"At first, he was a little apprehensive…we got into an argument about it and had to go see my therapist about what was bothering Tyson. I know he's been under a lot of pressure with his work and he's concerned with me along with the kids…at first he didn't really like the idea of me getting into theater but he realized that I need to do something that I love."

"You two haven't gotten physical, have you?" The tone of her voice was the very same sharp but serious tone she used towards me whenever she would discipline me. "Please, Tia, I understand you and Tyson are going to have arguments but if you guys are getting physical with one another, something NEEDS to be done."

"We're not fighting. Everything is fine, just fine."

"Okay, that's very reassuring. Oh, so I bought the kids more books to read and more coloring books! I'll give them to you guys when you guys come back!"

Oh, brother. More books to be scattered about the house. I couldn't do anything but laugh and tell my mother thank you for buying the kids more books.
