I am so sorry for the wait! I had writers block and then when I finally wrote it, MY DUMB COMPUTER DELETED IT! And I had to type it all out again.
"Hey!" Chad called out as he walked inside.
"Hey Chad!" I called from the kitchen. "Have you heard about this new thing people do? They knock before they enter!" I said sarcastically.
"You're the one who gave me a key." he said, rolling his eyes. As if that solved the question of why he was here.
Chad walked into the kitchen just as I opened a cabinet and pulled out a bottle.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Fixing Autumn a bottle." I said, as I sat the bottle on the counter and pulled out her formula. Autumn may have been less then a week old, but she had an appetite!
Right then she was sleeping, but I knew she was going to wake up soon, and be hungry.
Then I heard the door open.
So I walked out of the kitchen and into the hall, figuring that Tawnie must have been back from her "much needed" pedicure.
My guess was correct and Tawnie was standing in the doorway, staring at her nails (I guess she got a "mani" too).
But before I could even say hello, I heard a loud splash and a crash, the sound had come from the kitchen
Then a loud scream. That had undoubtedly come from Autumns room.
Tawnie looked up at me, and immediately ran to towards Autumn room, shouting as she ran, "I've got it!"
I quickly walked (or waddled) into the kitchen.
The moment I opened the door I saw Chad grasping about a 100 paper towels, standing in the middle of what appeared to be a small formula pond.
"What did you do!" I yelled. Milk was everywhere, on the counters and all over the floor. Chad had managed to dump the entire jump of formula every where, and some of it had fallen in the milk.
"I was trying to help!" he cried out as I grabbed some paper towels from him.
"Well you did a great job!" I shouted, my voice just dripping with sarcasm. "How did you manage to make such a mess!" I turned and started cleaning the counter.
"I measured out the formula and filled the bottle with water." he said, starting to wipe up the floor. "But then I dropped the bottle and it spewed everywhere, and when I reached for the paper towels I knocked the tub everywhere."
"Why can't you mind your own business!" I shouted angrily. Over the past few days Chad had kept trying to "help" by butting in. He decided he could burp Autumn, I didn't think his clothes will ever stop smelling like baby barf; he decided he would wash Autumn clothes, everything that was white was pink (Tawnie thought he actually did something good there…)
"I said I was trying to help!" he screamed, just as Tawnie walked in, cradling a much calmer Autumn.
Even though I only caught a glimpse of her. Autumn looked adorable! She had on a short sleeved denim dress with a long sleeved purple shirt under it on. With her blue eyes (which she'd gotten from Chad) and the few strands blond hair she had (which she also gotten from Chad. She just looked so cute.
Tawnie just loved dressing her up. She had already bought her a closet full of clothes (despite my protests).
I turned my attention back to Chad. "Then stop trying to help!"
"Fine! I will!" he said standing up.
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Waaaaa!" "Great!" I shouted throwing my wet paper towel down. "You made her cry again!"
I walked over to Tawnie and took Autumn from her.
Is walked out of the kitchen, but not before telling Chad that if he really wanted to help he could clean up his mess!
Tawnie followed me as I walked into my bedroom, and as I sat down on the bed and tried to calm Autumn (and myself) down, Tawnie raised her eyebrows.
"What?!" I asked, annoyed.
"I can't believe you just did that!" she said., placing her hands on her hips.
"What!? I yelled at Chad. His feeble attempts to "help" have really gotten on my nerves. Is that so wrong?!"
"No! You did you whole fine, fine, good, good crap!" "We were arguing!" I said plainly.
"No! That is your twisted way of flirting!"
"What!? No it's not!"
"Whatever!" Tawnie said in a sing song voice. "Here let me take Autumn, I'll go she if I can make her a bottle correctly."
I handed her too Tawnie, much to the delight of Autumn. I guess she didn't like seeing her mommy frustrated.
Tawnie walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"Oh!" she said a few seconds later, opening the door again. "I forgot to mention, Nico called and said, he and Grady are coming by tomorrow. They said they were sorry that they couldn't come sooner, by the director of their movie practically keeps them under lock and key." she smiled. "Funny, you think the director of such a crazy comedy could loosen up a bit." Then she closed to door.
I fell on the bed, and groaned.
My life was like a soap opera. I have a couple who acted like they hated each other, then got married, then one leaves, there's also the pregnant women and the man who doesn't know she's pregnant with his child, and to top it all off the old friends are coming over too.
Then I heard Tawnie gasp, followed by a crash and the unmistakable voice of Chad say, "oops".
I sighed and closed my eyes. I hate soap operas.
