《Peyton》I just got off the phone with Miss Aria from my daughters daycare they are having a hard time with abandonment issues I run to my office and grab my stuff once I got my things I run out of my office and run to the front desk Jackie I have to go to my daughters daycare so can you reassign new doctors to my patients please
《Jackie》Will do I hope your daughters feel better
《Peyton》Thank you I run to my car and drive to my daughters daycare once I get there I walk in and see that my daughters are having a meltdown I see the daycare workers trying to calm them down so I walk over to the girls I kneel down to their level hey girls come here when they hear my voice they run to me crying and hugging me so tight and what they said next broke my heart
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Oh daddy your here please don't leave us please don't be like mommy
《Peyton》Babies look at me right now they look at me and I continue talking babies I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever going to leave you OK I'm never going to abandon you, you are my girls and I'm your daddy and we're stuck together for life you hear me for life
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Yeah we hear you daddy we're sorry
《Peyton》Girls you don't have to be sorry I understand maybe I should just cancel the preschool interview for Monday, I look at Miss Aria if it's OK with you I'm going to keep them home on Monday I have the day off on Monday I was supposed to take the girls to a preschool interview on Monday but with seeing you them like this I just don't know how they are going to do in school
《Miss Aria》It's OK I understand
《Peyton》Well are you 3 ready to go home daddy took the rest of the day off I was thinking that we can go buy sub sandwiches and take them and have a picnic in the park how would you like that?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Yeah, we look at miss Aria we're sorry miss Aria
《Miss Aria》I kneel down to their level hey girls like your daddy said you have nothing to be sorry for now can I get a hug, they let go of their daddy and hug me, I look at the girls father, you know Mr. Meyer they were fine for the first part of the afternoon but then as the day went on they just kept saying that their daddy wasn't coming back
《Peyton》It's understandable they asked me about their mother this morning I told them that she just didn't want to be a mother so they asked me if it was something they did to make her leave but of course I said no it's not your fault she just didn't want to be a mother, well let's get going the girls and I walk out of the daycare I get them in the car then I get in and start driving to the sub shop you know girls daddy has that date with Rowan tomorrow?
