Lucy got back to Mary's house, and calmed herself down before going inside.
She went in, and Mary was feeding the twins, and Hailey was playing with
Alicia in the living room. Mary saw her come in, and her hopes fell. Lucy
looked terrible, and so hurt.
Mary finished up what she was doing, and put the twins in their bassinets. She went over to Lucy, and led her into the dining room. They sat down on chairs, and Lucy looked at her.
"He told me he didn't love me anymore, and that he cheated on me, and that he loves her more." She said, starting to cry again.
"Oh, I am so sorry." Mary said, hugging her, and stroking the back of her hair.
"Can I stay here until I figure out what is going on?"
"Sure, you can stay as long as you like."
"Thanks." She said giving her another hug.
For the rest of the day Lucy slept, while Mary watched the kids. Lucy was so upset, all she wanted to do, was sleep and cry. Mary didn't mind watching Alicia, but she was kind of overwhelmed.
Mary cooked dinner, and Robbie came in, when she was finishing.
"Hey baby." He said kissing her lightly on the cheek.
"Hey sweetie."
"Where are my other babies?"
"The twins are in the basinet in the living room, and Hailey is in the playroom." She said.
"Where is Alicia?" he asked, knowing they'd still be here.
"Umm.. Lucy took her upstairs about an hour ago. I haven't seen either of them since."
"Oh." He said, "How long do you think they'll be staying here?"
"I'll talk with you tonight Robbie, please not right now." she said begging him with her eyes. She saw Lucy coming down the stairs, and didn't want her to feel like they wanted her out.
He silently nodded, and went to get Hailey for dinner. He brought her back, and put her in her booster seat. They all ate dinner, with little discussion. After dinner Lucy returned to her room, and Mary and Robbie sat with each other on the couch. "So what's going on?" he asked looking her in the eye.
"She went over to her house today, and Scott basically told her he didn't love her, and he had been cheating on her."
"Ouch."
"I know." Mary said, "So I told her she could stay here until she got things figured out."
"Oh okay, how long do you think she will be here for?" he asked, secretly hoping it wasn't long. He felt bad for even thinking it, he really liked Lucy, but he felt a little uncomfortable with her living with them.
"I don't know, maybe until things get straightened out."
"Oh." He said.
"What, you don't want her here?" Mary asked, noticing his lack of enthusiasm.
"No, its just that she doesn't even work, how is she gonna get back on her feet?"
"I don't know, lets just not think about it."
"Okay."
Robbie bathed Hailey, while Mary put the twins to bed. He dressed her, and put her in her bed.
"Night baby."
"Night daddy."
He turned off the light, and went down the hall to his room. Mary was in the bed reading a book, and he went to wash up.
Meanwhile Lucy was thinking of all the day's events. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Her perfect world was crashing down. The one person she truly loved, her best friend, had stabbed her in the back. She couldn't believe it. She kept feeling like she was in a dream, and at any time she would wake up, but she knew the reality was she was already awake, this was really happening, there was no doubt about it.
She glanced over at the cradle Alicia was sleeping in. She looked so peaceful, with her little chest rising and falling as she took in each breath. Right at that moment, Lucy made a promise to herself that she would get through this, for her and her daughter. They would be fine, and she was going to make sure of it.

I would love to hear them. Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon. Peace and Happy Holidays to everyone!**
