Over the next week Lucy and Mary didn't spend that much time together. Mary
was busy with the kids, and visited her mother more often. It was Friday,
and Mary had just woken up. It was 8:00, Robbie had to wake up by 8:30, so
she left the room to go check on the twins. They were both still asleep, so
she went back into her room. She looked at Robbie, and smiled. She bent
over his sleeping body, and kissed him gently. He opened his eyes slightly
and smiled up at her.
"Come take a shower with me." She said, holding his hand, and pulling him up.
"Okay baby."
They went into the bathroom, and Mary turned on the water. She stepped on the scale, and looked down.
"Yes!" she exclaimed.
"What?"
"I am down to 137." She said smiling.
"Good for you sweetie."
"Guess what?" she asked him.
"What?"
"The twins will be 1 month tomorrow. March 17."
"Has it really been a month?" he asked.
"Yep."
When the water was hot, they got in the shower, and had some fun, then actually cleaned off. When they got out Mary threw a robe on, and went into the room. The baby monitor was going off, so she ran to go get the twins. Jessica was up, but not Justin.
"Hi sweetie. What's up?" she cooed, picking her up out of her crib and putting her on the changing table.
She changed her diaper and her clothes, and then sat down in the rocking chair to feed her. She began feeding her, and Mary just watched Jessica. Robbie was standing in the doorway watching Mary, but she didn't see him. She changed Jessica, and turned to leave. She jumped when she saw him in the doorway.
"Don't do that!" she said hitting him, "I could've dropped her."
"I didn't do it on purpose." He said laughing.
"Ha ha. It wouldn't have been funny if I dropped her." She said pushing past him, and going into Hailey's room.
"But sweetie, you didn't drop her."
He laughed again, and went downstairs to eat breakfast. After he finished, he left. Mary was trying to get all the kids dressed, and ready to go to Lucy's. Jessica and Hailey were done, and they were both sitting in the foyer, Jessica in her car seat, and Hailey on the floor. After she finished changing Justin she gathered all the things she needed, and stuffed them in her baby bag.
"Okay, diapers, wipes, change of clothes, keys, wallet, I think I have everything." She grabbed her bag, and threw it over her shoulder. She picked up both car seats, and instructed Hailey to hold her pant leg. She never had enough arms for anything anymore. She quickly went out to the car, and jumped in. They arrived at Lucy's, and Mary went to the door.
She knocked, and nobody came. She knocked again, and finally a very mad looking Scott came to the door.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." He mumbled, walking away.
Mary looked at him weirdly, and turned to go into the kitchen. Alicia was in her seat, but Lucy was nowhere to be found. Mary put down the car seats, and told Hailey to sit down on the chair.
"Luce?" called Mary, going into the living room.
No one was there. She saw Scott go out the door, and slam it behind him.
"They must've had a fight." Mary thought to herself.
She kept looking for Lucy, she finally went upstairs, and knocked on her door. She heard a muffled 'come in', and she opened the door. She saw Lucy sprawled out on the bed, her face in her hands, and the pillow wet underneath her.
"What's the matter sweetie?" asked Mary sitting down next to her, and moving her hair from her face.
"Scott, and I," she sniffled, "we had a..a...a fight." She sobbed
"About what?"
"I was feeding Alicia, and he came in the kitchen and I asked him when he'd be home, and he said it was none of my business. Then I was like 'it is my business, I am your wife'. So then he started yelling at me, saying I was so stupid, and I always nagged him." She said wiping her eyes.
"I'm sorry Luce."
"I didn't even do anything." She sobbed.
"Okay, lets just go downstairs, because all the kids are down there."
"Oh crap, I left Alicia down there!" she said, jumping up, and running out of the room.
Mary followed behind her, and they were relieved to find the kids safe, and not into anything. Mary spent a few hours there, and at around 4:00, Scott came home. The twins were sleeping, and Hailey was in the playroom. Alicia was awake, and sitting on Lucy's lap as they talked.
"Hey Scott." Said Mary smiling.
"Hi."
"Scott, can I talk to you?" asked Lucy.
"Okay."
They walked out of the room, leaving Alicia with Mary. They walked into the kitchen, still in Mary's hearing zone. She wanted to know what was going on, so she stayed quiet, and listened.
"Scott, I don't know what I did to get you so mad, but I am sorry."
"Lucy, I was just really aggravated and tired." He said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why were you aggravated?"
"I don't know, I just am."
"You are, or you were?" She asked.
"I was." He said sighing, "I am sorry."
"Yah, me too."
They hugged and came back into the room. Mart knew their fight wasn't settled, Scott didn't sound sincere when he said he was sorry, and he gave her a sorry excuse for a hug. She decided to leave before it got any uglier between the two. She dressed the twins, and left. She drove home wondering what was up with Lucy and Scott. Scott was never like that, he was always so nice, and loving. Now when she looked at him, he was bitter and mean looking.
When she arrived home, she made dinner for Robbie and Hailey. Robbie wasn't home, so she left his food in the oven. She bathed Hailey, and let her play, while she fed the twins.
Robbie was home soon later, and they watched television together and put the kids to sleep.
*Meanwhile at Lucy's*
"Scott can you feed Alicia, I need to take a shower!" Lucy called up the stairs.
"Feed her when you get out." He called back down.
Lucy didn't know what was going on, "Scott how am I supposed to take a shower if you aren't watching Alicia?" she yelled back up.
"I don't know, figure it out."
Lucy picked up Alicia, and walked upstairs. She was furious. She went into her room, seeing Scott lying on the bed.
"Why can't you just keep and eye on her for 5 minutes while I shower?" she said aggravated.
"I don't want to." He said stressing every single word, as if she were stupid.
"What is your problem?" she yelled.
"Nothing." He said looking back at the television.
Lucy went over to the television, and turned it off.
"Why are you being like this?" she yelled.
He jumped out of bed and walked over to her, standing in front of her, and towering over her menacingly. He looked so mad, almost mad enough to hit her.
"Turn the TV back on." He said through gritted teeth.
"Scott get out of my face." She said trying to push him away from her.
He grabbed her arms, and held on to them with his strong hands. Lucy saw all the anger in his eyes, she was terrified, he had never ever put his hands on her. She pulled back, and backed away, as tears fell from her eyes. She picked up Alicia from the bed, and left the room. She quickly packed a bag for her, throwing all the things she would need in it.
"Where are you going?" he asked, coming out of his room, when he saw Lucy pass the doorway with a bag.
She quickly ran down the stairs, being careful, because she had Alicia. She had to get out quick, she was scared, she didn't even know him anymore. She grabbed Alicia's snowsuit, and quickly put her in, she put her own shoes on, and grabbed her coat. She threw them on, and grabbed the baby bag.
"Where are you going?" Scott asked again, coming down the stairs.
Lucy quickly ran to the door, and threw it open. She draped a blanket over Alicia, and ran to the car.
"Lucy get back here!" Scott yelled throwing on his shoes, and coat.
She unlocked her car, and jumped in. she put Alicia in the car seat as fast as she could, and by then Scott was running down the driveway. She reversed, and sped down the street, all the time Scott yelling after her.
She cried all the way to Mary's house. Mary's was the only place she could go, he safe haven, where she knew she'd feel secure. She only hoped Scott didn't chase her. She pulled into Mary's driveway, and looked at the clock, 10:30. Lucy knew Hailey went to bed at 8:00, so she didn't want to ring the doorbell. She called Mary's cell phone, which she knew Mary kept in her room.
It rang a few times, and then May answered.
"Hello." She said a little out of breath.
Lucy knew what she was doing, she wished her and Scott's relationship was like her sister's and Robbie's. They loved each other so much, Lucy thought Scott loved her, but now she wasn't sure.
"Yah, hi." Lucy said trying to keep her tears back.
"What's the matter Luce?" Mary asked concerned.
"Can I come in, I am in your driveway."
"Yeah, sure. I will be right down."
"Okay bye."
A few minutes later Mary opened the door, and Lucy got out of the car. She took Alicia out of her seat, and walked over to Mary. Mary looked at her sister, her eyes were red and puffy, and she had a grave expression on her face.
"Lucy, come in." Mary said taking Alicia, and handing her to Robbie, who was standing behind her.
Mary led her into the kitchen, and they sat down on a stool.
"What's wrong?" Mary asked pushing a piece of hair away from her face.
"Scott. he.. he.. is an..an.. ass!" she said sobbing.
"What happened?"
"I just needed him to watch Alicia while I showered, for 5 freaking minutes, and he just wouldn't. he .. he went off on me, so I left."
"I'm sorry."
"I don't know what's wrong." She said wiping her eyes.
"Why don't you just stay the night here, and in the morning you can go home, and talk to him."
"Okay."
"You can have the guest room." Mary said standing up, and leading Lucy up the steps.
Once Lucy was settled, Mary went back to sleep. But Lucy couldn't sleep. She was too busy wondering what was going on. Scott was acting so different, she had never seen this side before, and frankly she didn't like it. She decided to try to sleep, and not worry about any of it, but she failed miserably. The whole night she tossed and turned, getting a few minutes here and there. She was miserable, so miserable.

"Come take a shower with me." She said, holding his hand, and pulling him up.
"Okay baby."
They went into the bathroom, and Mary turned on the water. She stepped on the scale, and looked down.

No one was there. She saw Scott go out the door, and slam it behind him.
"They must've had a fight." Mary thought to herself.
