On Monday Amanda stood in the laundry room of their building. Jessica leaned back against a washer as she held Aiden in her arms. Amanda had convinced Jessica to come over and show her how to do laundry, slowly Amanda was easing herself into the domestic thing.
"So are we going out for my big day?"asked Jessica.
"Oh yeah the big twenty five day,"said Amanda smirking at her as she folded some of Harry's shirts.
"Don't get to excited about it honey, you're coming up to twenty four soon and right after that it's twenty five,"said Jessica,"Ya ain't a young little nyphmet yourself anymore."
"Yeah, yeah,"said Amanda,"So what do you want to do?"
"I wanna party,"said Jessica,"It's been forever since you and me have just gone out and gotten sloshed and danced. You're all married and a mommy, you don't get to do any fun stuff anymore."
"I do get to do fun stuff,"said Amanda,"I had all weekend."
"Well now you get to have girl fun,"said Jessica,"And girl fun is the best fun."
"I'm gonna feel weird getting into the clubs not worrying about if they're gonna catch my ID,"said Amanda.
"You and me are gonna have fun,"said Jessica,"Like old times."
"Fine, Friday night it's you and me,"said Amanda as she put all the clothes in the laundry basket and left the laundry room with Jessica and Aiden.

Harry sat in the teacher's lounge marking an essay as he drank his coffee. He had been able to avoid Ronnie so far, he wasn't anticipating seeing her after what had happened the last time he had. At times he wished he could be like Amanda and just tell people what she thought and not give two shits about what they thought, she had a sense of confidence, she didn't care who liked her and who didn't, she had always been like that. That was one of the things that attracted him to her, she could go through life without a friend in the world and it wouldn't affect her, her smile wouldn't lessen, her spirit wouldn't dampen, nothing about her would change. Him on the other hand, he thought alot before he spoke, he wasn't concerned about who liked it or not, it was more of was it the right thing to say or did he had the gall to push the limit from stand out and pushy to down right honest.
As someone sat down across from at the table Harry looked up to see Lauren. She set down a stack of dutangs and looked upat him as she sighed.
"Looks like fun,"said Harry sarcastically.
"You wouldn't believe,"said Lauren rolling her eyes,"So are you going to the Christmas party on Friday?"
"No, I don't think so,"said Harry remembering Marilyn's long speech praising reasons for him to go earlier in the morning.
"Why not?"asked Lauren,"You should bring AJ."
"We'll see,"said Harry shrugging, he already knew Amanda wouldn't be thrilled about the idea of going.
"Well it should be fun,"said Lauren. Just then the shrill ringing of Harry's cell phone ran from his jacket pocket. Quickly Harry fished the phone out of his pocket and looked at the caller ID, it was Amanda.
"Hey,"said Harry answering the phone.
"Hey hun, are you busy?"asked Amanda.
"No, it's lunch,"said Harry,"Why what's up?"
"Can you pick up some pull ups on the way home? We're down to like one left and I just put one on Aide so I'm praying to God it lasts,"said Amanda,"Otherwise we're resorting to your boxers."
"Will do,"said Harry,"Anything else?"
"Kleenex I guess, oh and some of that baby cream, we're almost out,"said Amanda,"And apple juice."
"That all?"
"Yes, are you writing this down you won't remember,"said Amanda.
"I don't need to, if I forget I'll call you,"said Harry.
"Who says I'll remember,"said Amanda,"Just write it down." Harry silently sighed as he found a scrap piece of paper and jotted the items down.
"There it is all written down,"said Harry.
"Are you sure?"asked Amanda.
"Yes, would you like to ask Lauren, she is sitting right here and she seen me write it,"said Harry.
"Fine,"said Amanda,"I'll see you when you get home. Love you."
"Love you too,"said Harry before hanging up his phone before he looked over at Lauren who was grinning at him. She leaned over and looked at the list Harry had written.
"Apparently I'll forget my kid needs diapers,"said Harry.
"Actually, it's kinda cute,"said Lauren.
"Yeah all cute until you have to lug the damn things around the store, they're heavy and convientantly I'm always out when Aide needs them,"said Harry.
"Well I have to give AJ credit then, she's a smart woman,"said Lauren smiling.
"Too smart for her own good sometimes,"muttered Harry going back to his papers.

Harry walked into the apartment to hear splashing coming from the bathroom and the squeals of "Daddy" from Aiden. He set down the bags and made his way into the bathroom where Amanda was drying Aiden off with a towel.
"Hey,"said Amanda as she scooped Aiden up wrapped in the towel. Harry leaned over and kissed her cheek before fluffing up Aiden's wet hair.
"Did you get all the stuff?"asked Amanda.
"Shit, the diapers,"said Harry.
"Don't swear, and you forgot the diapers?"asked Amanda walking past Harry out of the bathroom,"You've got to go out and get more, I told you to write it down, I told you that you would forget."
"Don't get all worked up,"said Harry,"I've got them."
"Good,"said Amanda setting Aiden down on his bed. She went out into the hallway where shopping bags were. Amanda grabbed the one with the pullups in them and brought them into the Aiden's room.
"Daddy,"cried Aiden as Amanda came back into his room,"Daddy, Elmo broke."
"How did Elmo break?"asked Harry as he followed Amanda in.
"I don't know,"said Aiden waving his arms around as Amanda helpped him get dressed.
"Elmo's batteries died and Mommy ran out of batteries,"said Amanda as she pulled his pyjama top over his head.
"We have double A batteries in the drawer,"said Harry. Amanda turned and gave him a death stare.
"No there are not, because if there were any and Mommy had to listen to Elmo anymore she might just go insane,"said Amanda as Aiden climbed off his bed with his Elmo. He grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him from the room.
"Daddy come, come,"called Aiden as he lead Harry away. Amanda cleaned up the wet towels and some dirty laundry from Aiden's floor. She dropped them in the laundry hamper and went into the living room where Aiden was showing Harry his new Megablocks set Jessica had bought him.
"Auntie Jessi spoils you too much,"said Amanda as she flopped down on the couch.
"So how was your day?"asked Harry from the floor where he sat with Aiden.
"Fine, Jess came over and showed me how to do laundry,"said Amanda.
"Showed you how to do laundry?"asked Harry.
"Yes and if she hadn't all your white clothes would've been pink,"said Amanda,"I was unaware you had to seperate colours."
"Ya really do learn something new everyday,"said Harry.
"Ha, ha, so how was your day?"asked Amanda.
"Fine, hey do you want to go to the facuilty Christmas party?"asked Harry.
"I think on that one I'll play the Jewish card,"said Amanda rolling her eyebrows. Harry got up from the floor and came over to the couch and sat down next to her.
"It won't be that bad,"said Harry,"Who knows you might get some digs in at Ronnie."
"When is it?"asked Amanda leaning on him.
"Next Friday,"said Harry.
"Can't,"said Amanda,"It's Jessi's birthday, I promised her I'd go out with her."
"So you're gonna blow me off?"asked Harry.
"Pretty much,"said Amanda,"But you can go if you want to."
"I don't think so,"muttered Harry.
"C'mon it might be good, it'll give us a break from each other,"said Amanda.
"Well that's comforting to know,"said Harry.
"I'm serious, like in all true honesty have we spent a night apart since we've been married?"asked Amanda,"You even stayed at the hospital the whole weekend well I was in labour, I think by now we can trust each other to spent one night apart."
"Well I still don't know if I'm going to go,"said Harry.
"Then go out with Kyle, do guy stuff,"said Amanda.
"When Kyle hears your going out partying he's gonna wanna go with you,"said Harry,"Kyle enjoys girl stuff much more than guy stuff, in his eyes girl stuff involves girls."
"Then go to a strip bar,"said Amanda getting up.
"Hmmm,"moaned Harry.
"Yeah I really can't see you there either,"said Amanda,"Don't worry we'll figure something out."
