I cried Sunday night. I was hysterical Sunday night. I was rocking back and forth saying "She's gunna die" Sunday night. I didn't go to bed till 1Sunday night. I had to like coax myself to bed Sunday night. It was so f-ing awesome...


Daughters

" Mommy, wake up it's my birftday!"

" Ugh," Addison rolled over to the other side of the bed.

" Mommy!"

" Ok," She sat up and gave her daughter a hug. " Happy birthday."

" Thank you. Where's my present?"

" We have to go get it."

" Thanks for keeping this here." Addison said to Meredith.

" Oh, it was no problem. She was a fun addition."

" Ok. Thanks again."

" I'll see you later,"

" Yup,"

" Bye." Addison walked back to the car.

" Mommy, what's that." Kennedy asked pointing to the box in her mother's hand. Addison opened the box, " OH, MY GOODNESS."

>>

" Thank you, Mommy. Thank you. Thank you." Kennedy said bringing a tiny Calico kitten into the house.

" You're welcome." Addison said carrying the litter box, food dishes and other acessories.

" You're my favorite Mommy."

" I'm your only Mommy," She said with a smile.

" But you're still my favorite Mommy."

" What are you going to name her?" Addison asked.

" Twizzler." Kennedy said simply. It stopped Addison's heart.

>>

" Happy Birthday, Dear Kennedy. Happy Birthday to you," A group of Kennedy's school friends, Addison, Meredith, George, Izzie, and Eric sang happily.

" Make a wish." Addison said placing the cake in front of her daughter.

I wish that Daddy would come back.

>>

" Twizzler, come here." Kennedy said, chasing her new pet through the house after her friends had left.

" Twizzler?" Izzie said while helping Addison throw out the Dora the Explorer table cloth.

" Derek's nickname for her. Whenever he picked her up from school, they would go to the gas station and share a bag of Twizzlers. He said that she ate so many that she was going to turn into a Twizzler." Addison said with a small smile.

" Oh."

" Yeah."

" Eric! Have you seen my kitty?" Kennedy said smiling, as if everything was right with the world. Addison secretly wished she could have her childish innocence back.

>>

" Did you have a good birthday?" Addison asked getting into bed with her daughter and her daughter's birthday present.

" Yeah, Mommy." Kennedy said with a slight smile.

" You don't sound very excited." Addison stroked her daughter's hair.

" Daddy wasn't here."

" Oh, K." Addison wrapped her arms around her daughter while silently cursing Derek. Why did you do this to her? Can't you see it? She needs you. I need you. We need you. Derek, why did you do this? We weren't ready for this. Twizzler came up between the pair and started meowing in Kennedy's face.

" Stop, Twiz. That tickles." The cat obyed and curled up in the small space between Addison and Kennedy.

" Oh, it looks like someone wants us to go to sleep." Addison said leaning behind her to turn of the light.

" Good night Mommy."

" Happy Birthday, Kennedy," Why Derek? Why?


Happy Birthday Kennedy. I LOVE STEPH AND JEN! Seriously, these guys rock my world! What do you think will happen next week? Sid ya'll see the promo! Addi scared me. I feel so awful for her... I don't know how we're supposed to wait another 5 days? How?
