"Hi, did you have fun?" Jackie's mom asked as she opened the door so Jackie could come in.

"Yeah." Jackie lied as she faked a smile.

"Good, the kids did too, they played with Jasper and wore the poor dog completely out."

"That's good." Jackie answered.

"Petty mama." Sloan said as he touched her dress.

"Thank you sweetheart." Jackie responded, leave it to the kids to pick up her spirits.

Sloan then put his little finger to his lips.

"Shhh, baby Noah seepin." He told her with a whisper.

"Oh ok, I'll be quiet." She told him with a smile.

Jackie's parents helped her get the kids' shoes on and then helped her load them in the car.

She then took the kids home before putting them to bed, which was easy considering her parents had already changed them into their pajamas.

Once the kids had been put to bed she angrily kicked off her shoes and took off her dress, not even bothering to hang it back up in her closet.

She then got into her ugliest and most comfortable pair of her pajamas and then went downstairs to the kitchen, poured herself a glass of wine and then got out the container of ice cream and a spoon, she took the entire container back upstairs with her, why put it in a bowl when she planned on eating it all? She crawled into bed, turned on the TV, and began eating the ice cream, the ice cream was good even if she did have to eat it alone.
