"I wanted to come home but dad wouldn't bring me." Cooper said.
"How did you get here?" I said checking him over making sure he was ok.
"I took the train."
"Does your dad know you are here?"
"No, he is at work."
"Alright I will call him, just go to your room."
"Ok." He said walking to his room.
I called Kunihiko's office.
"Mr. Aikawa's Office."
"Grace?"
"Anne?"
"Who is watching the kids?!"
"They are safe calm down."
"Let me talk to Kunihiko."
"He is in the middle of an important meeting."
"I don't care let me talk to him."
"I can't Anne, I can't even talk to him when he is in a meeting."
"Fine." I said hanging up.
I went to the boys' bedroom.
"Cooper, let's go."
"Where are we going?"
"To go pick up your brother and sister and then see your dad." I said walking with him out the door and locking it.
I went and picked up Cooper, Ayana, Hailey and Xander and drove to Kunihiko's work.
"What in the world?!" Grace said as we walked out of the elevator.
"I'm going to go see Kunihiko, Hailey stay with you mom." I said handing Xander to Grace.
"Wait…Anne…" she said as I walked past her.
I didn't let her finish.
I walked down the hall toward the main conference room where I could see him through the glass.
He saw me and told them something and walked out.
"What in the hell are you doing here? Why do you have the kids?"
"Who was it that was watching them?"
"Our neighbor Shiho. You shouldn't just show up and take them because we are not there."
"How about I come check on them and take them when Cooper decides to show up at home by himself."
"What, Cooper?" he said looking at him.
"He took the train by himself back home."
"Why didn't Shiho call me?"
"Because she was busy having a great time with her boyfriend."
"What?"
"I'm taking the kids home. Until one of you are able to stay home or until you find a decent sitter."
"What, you want to check out everyone we hire to watch them?"
"No, but I expect you to find one that will notice when one of the kids is missing!" I said yelling and walking with the kids back to the elevator.
"What is going on?" Grace said as we walked by.
"Ask you husband." I said as the elevator door closed.
We got back home.
"Go to your room boys."
"But mom…" Cooper started to say.
"Cooper you are the last person to argue with me right now. Now go, both of you." I said pointing towards their room.
I put Ayana in her bed for a nap and went to start making an early lunch.
I finished the lunch and went to the boys' room.
"Ethan, why don't you go eat some lunch, I want to talk with Cooper for a second."
"Ok." He said walking out of the room.
I went over and sat next to Cooper on the bed.
"Care to tell me why you decided to come home by yourself?"
"I just wanted to come home."
"Why, were you not having fun?"
He shook his head no.
"Why not?"
"Because, Ayana gets to play with Hailey and Grace plays games with them and everything."
"But you still have Ethan and your dad."
"No I don't, Ethan and dad are always playing football and I can't play because of my breathing…it's not fair that they have all the fun and I don't."
"Ok I understand that Cooper, but you don't ever come back to the house by yourself ok?"
"Ok."
"Next time just call me and we will see what we can do."
"I'm sorry mom."
"I know, just don't do it again." I said hugging him. "Now go eat your lunch."
He got off the bed and ran into the kitchen.
*sigh*
I ran my fingers through my hair.
I went out and ate lunch with the boys.
After a while, they boys and Ayana were playing in the living room when there was a knock on the door.
*knock Knock*
"Coming."
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Ok, I'm coming."
I said opening the door.
The second I opened it Kunihiko walked right past me.
"What in the hell is wrong with you?!" he says turning around to face me.
"Boys, take Ayana and go to your room."
They both took Ayana's hand and walked with her closing the door.
"What are you talking about, and don't ever come over and barge in like that."
"I will do what I please. What in hell were you thinking coming to my work like that?!"
"I was thinking that you would like to know that the sitter your hired was obviously not doing her job."
"I lost an important client because of the stunt you pulled."
"I'm sorry, do you even care to ask why Cooper decided to take his little trip back here?"
"Why?"
"Because you don't spend enough time with him."
"I do to, they are over every other weekend."
"That is not what I meant. He told me that Ayana is always playing with Hailey and Grace while you play football with Ethan."
"And?"
"Did it ever occur to you that Cooper can't play? He is wanting to spend some time with you and you don't even bother to ask him what he wants to do."
"Fine I will spend time with him. I'll take them with me and me and Cooper will spend the evening together."
"I will bring them by in the morning, its already dinner time."
"What?"
"I will bring them by in the morning and then you can have them on Monday night as well to make up for tonight." I said walking into the kitchen.
He grabbed my wrist.
"No you won't I am taking my kids with me."
"Ow…Let go of me!"
"No, I am going to…"
*Smack*
"Don't ever touch me again, now get out." I said walking over to the door opening it for him.
He left and slammed the door.
I leaned against the wall taking a deep breath rubbing my wrist.
I went back into the kitchen and started making dinner.
