Beck's POV:
I have the girls this Saturday morning while Tori is spending some time with Andre. It can't be that hard.
Jade is still sleeping Cat is eating her oatmeal with banana slices she's dressed and her diaper is changed.
"Daddy its raining! I can't where my dress!" Cat said as she ate. She picked out her frilly pink dress today.
"It's just a small shower Cat you can still wear it" I said
Jade came downstairs rubbing her eyes "Why didn't you wake me up Daddy?" she asked
"You need your sleep Jade. Here eat your oatmeal" I said as I put her in her booster seat
"Where did Mommy go?" Jade asked
"She went to out with Andre but were going to do something special today you two can pick" I said
"Really?" Cat asked
"Yeah you were good with Grandma all week and Jade you were very well behaved at school with us" I said
"Can we go to the zoo?" Jade asked
"Cat do you want to go to the zoo?" I asked
"Yeah I can see the penguins!" she said
"Okay then we'll go after Jade gets dressed" I said
"Do we have to sit in the stroller still?" Jade asked
"Yes" I said
"I don't want to" Jade said
"You can walk to see the animals" I said
Jade put a navy blue t-shirt with a whale on it with white shorts and blue converse after breakfast.
"Daddy I brushed my teeth!" Jade said as she came downstairs dressed.
"Good job can you brush your hair by yourself?" I asked as I laid Cat down on the changing mat.
"Yes" Jade said
"Your new headbands are on the counter" I said as I lifted Cat's dress and opened her diaper before I wiped her down with a baby wipe and put a dry diaper on her.
"Okay go put your shoes on" I said as I stood Cat up on her feet. I threw out Cat's dirty diaper and then opened Trina and Tori's old light pink double stroller.
Jade pouted as she adjusted her white headband. "I wanna walk" she whined
"Jade you ran away from Mommy at school. If you run away outside you can get hurt or lost" I said before I put their sippy cups with apple juice in the diaper bag.
"I won't get lost" Jade said
"I wanna walk too" Cat said
"No one is walking get in the stroller please" I said. Cat went into the stroller.
"Jade get in the stroller now" I said strenly after I strapped Cat in.
"No I want to walk!" she yelled
I shook my head and grabbed Jade from under her armpits and sat her down in her seat. Jade pushed her chest up and tried to slide out of her seat.
"No!" she cried tears running down her face
"Stop it" I said as I held her back and put her arms in the straps before I connected them. Jade sobbed as I pushed the stroller outside.
"Jade you're okay stop crying I just want you to be safe" I said people gave me rude looks as we walked down the street. I ignored it
I stopped at a corner and kneeled in front of the stroller "You wanna go home Jade? You can finsh all this crying at home in timeout"
"I don't wanna go home!" she cried
"Then stop crying" I said as I reached to get the diaper bag and wiped Jade's nose with a baby wipe.
I handed Jade her sippy cup before I started psuhing the stroller again.
When we got to the zoo I bought myselft a ticket Jade and Cat are free and then I grabbed a map.
"What animal do you two want to see first? We can see them all but you two have to take turns"
"Bats!" Jade said
"Yeah Bats!" Cat said
I already know Cat is going to freak out when we go to that dark bat cave but I'll take them anyway.
I pushed the stroller to the bat cave. Cat whimpered "Uppie" she said reaching for me
I unstrapped her and picked her up. "Daddy I wanna get out too" Jade said
"No Jade its dark in there and you can get lost. Cat's afraid of the bats" I said while I pushed the stroller in.
Jade looked around in awe at all the bats flying around in the dark exhibit while Cat cried and whimpered into my shoulder.
"It's okay Cat it's almost over" I said
When we walked outside to the other side of the exhibit I turned to put Cat back in and saw that Jade's seat was empty.
"Jade?" I said loudly standing with Cat on my hip
I was about to run into the exhibit when Jade came running out crying with a young women following her. I scopped Jade up and she clung to me.
"I'm so sorry my son pulled her out of her stroller. Timothy what do you say?" she said scolding her son
"Sorry" the boy said
"It's okay I'm just glad she wasn't hurt" I said as we walked away
"I-I'm s-sorry!" Jade cried. I kissed her wet cheek "You don't have to be sorry Jade it wasn't your fault" I said
I strapped Cat back into the stroller with her sippy cup and held Jade hoping she would calm down.
"I'm sorry I know that was scary. You thought you lost Daddy?" I asked
Jade nodded and put her fingers in her mouth before she began to suck on them, I ignored it because she's upset.
As we walked over to the monkey's I tried to put Jade down again and she burst into tears and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Alright alright calm down" I said as I rubbed her back
Cat laughed at the monkeys "You like the monkeys Cat?" I asked
"Yeah!" she said
"Jade look" I said before kissing her cheek a few times like I used to do to her when she was my girlfriend. Well she still is she's just..you know what I mean.
Jade wiped her eyes and turned to the monkeys. "That one "sniff" has a banana" Jade said pointing to a small monkey eating a banana.
"Yeah" I said as I bent down and grabbed her juice from her stroller chair. I handed it to her and let her stand beside me before I picked up Cat so she could get a closer look of the monkeys.
"What does a monkey say?" I asked
"oo oo ah ah" She said
"Yeah. You wanna see the tigers?" I asked
She nodded and I strapped her and Jade back into the stroller and brought them over to the big cat part of the zoo.
Lions were first and I let Jade and Cat out since no one else was in here.
"Daddy that eats us right?" Jade asked pointing to a tiger
"If it wanted to it could yes" I said
"Uh oh" Cat said
"Come on lets go to the tigers" I said
"They don't look like tigger" Cat said as she tapped the glass
"Don't do that you'll make them upset" I said before I picked her up
By the time we went through the whole zoo both girls were tired and hungry. Jade didn't argue when I told her to get in the stroller.
"Is Mommy home?" Cat asked
"I don't think so but we'll see her soon" I said
When we got home Cat had a meltdown. "I wan Mommy!" she cried
"You're both hungry, Cat Mommy's coming later tonight its okay" I said before I picked Jade up and put her in her booster seat.
"Come on were gonna eat" I said as I put Cat in her highchair and started lunch. She didn't stop crying as I prepared peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for all of us.
"Why are you crying Cat?" I asked. I could tell she was frustrated like she couldn't tell me what was wrong.
"Are you wet?" I asked bouncing her up and down. I'm confused on why she's crying this much this can't be all about Tori.
I felt Cat's diaper and she was fine so I just took her upstairs and rubbed her back attempting to calm her down. "Shhhhh you're alright" I said
Cat fell asleep about two minutes later and I laid her down in her play pen.
"Is Cat okay?" Jade asked when I came back downstairs
"She's good I think she was just tired. She's still young so sometimes when she wants something she doesn't know how to tell me"
"Okay" Jade said
When Jade finished lunch I took her upstairs for her nap "Will you lay with me Daddy?" she asked as she laid her head on my shoulder
"Yes but you have to go to sleep" I said as I laid her down on the bed in the guest room.
"Night night Daddy"
"Night night"
Tori's POV:
Andre and I had a wonderful day but I left early because I felt really bad for leaving Beck with the girls alone almost all day it's already eight o'clock
As soon as I walked inside I saw Jade sitting at the table stirring Cat's bottle that was filled with milk and laying inside a bowl of hot water. Jade's dressed in pink and white floral footie pajamas.
Cat was sobbing in front of Beck who was sitting on the couch tapping up her diaper straps. I noticed the throw up on the floor beside Cat.
"Mommy!" Jade said running to me
I picked her up after I dropped my purse. I kissed her cheek "Hey Jade did you have fun with Daddy?" I asked
"Yeah Cat's sick" she said
"I see" I said as I put her down
"I'm heating her bottle" Jade said before she ran back to the island
"She has a bit of a fever" Beck said as he dressed Cat in the same pajamas as Jade
"M-mommy! My mommy!" Cat cried reaching for me
I crouched down near her after I grabbed some paper towels and cleaning spray
"You're okay Cat" I said as I cleaned up the mess on the floor
I picked up Cat after Beck finished dressing her she was screaming right in my ear. "Where's the new pacifier I bought her?" I asked
"The one with the unicorn attached to it?" Beck asked
I nodded and Beck ran upstairs as I brought Cat over to the counter bouncing her "Shhhhh it's okay honey" I said "You'll be alright"
"S-s-stomach hurts!" she cried
"I know" I said sadly before I kissed her cheek
"Her bottle's ready" Jade said before she handed me Cat's hot bottle. "Jade it's a little too hot let's wait a little while" I said
"I found it" Beck said as he tore the packaging the pacifier came in. I put it Cat's mouth and she sucked on it a little clutching the unicorn's legs with one hand and her stomach in the other.
"Mommy there's medicine in her milk" Jade said before she handed me Cat's bottle
"Thank you for helping Jade. Cat come on lets have your milk" I said as I slowly pulled her pacifier out and gave her the bottle.
Cat drank it slowly as I lifted her up into my arms. "Jade Daddy will read you a book and then its bedtime" Beck said
"I want Mommy" Jade said as Beck lifted her up into his arms
"I'll be there when Cat goes to sleep" I said as I took Cat upstairs to my room
I laid Cat on my bed and rubbed her stomach while she drank. I felt Cat's fore head and she was still a bit warm put the air conditioner on and opened her footie pajamas and let her lay down in her diaper.
Beck came in about five minutes later Cat was asleep "I check her temperature she's one hundred that's not so bad" I said
"One of us should stay and watch her. Make sure her temperature doesn't go up" Beck said
"I will. You should sleep" I said
"I wish we could talk to that witch because if something happens to them while they're so young-"
"We can't think like that" I said
"Wake me up if you have to take her to the hospital" Beck said before he kissed Cat's forehead and left
3:00AM
Cat woke up in the middle of the night crying. "Shhh! Does your stomach hurt?" I asked
Cat nodded as I brought her to my bathroom. "You want your bottle?" I asked just wanting her to stop crying
Cat shook her head clutching her stomach. "I-I g-go potty!" she cried
"Okay go potty" I said as I untapped her diaper and put her on the toilet holding her up so she wouldn't fall in
I'm happy that Cat made her big mess in the toilet and not in her diaper but I'm pretty sure she has a stomach virus now. She needs to go to the doctor.
"Good girl" I said before I wiped her down, put a new diaper on her and carried her downstairs on my hip and held her empty bottle and pacifier in my other hand. Cat's just sniffing now.
I put a diaper on Cat when we got downstairs to the kitchen and made her a bottle with cold water and some medicine for her stomach.
"Here Cat" I said before I handed her the bottle and picked her up bringing her to the couch.
Cat fell asleep again in between me rocking her and singing "Make it Shine"
THE NEXT MORNING:
I freaked out when I woke up because I feared that Cat would have a fever but she was fine cuddled up in my armpit on the couch.
I pressed my hand against her forehead and she wasn't as warm but I think she's still sick. I didn't want to wake her but I'm still in my blue sundress from yesterday and I want to take a shower.
Jade came downstairs "Hi Mommy" she said "Is Cat all better now?" she asked as she sat down on the couch
"No not yet. She's gonna go to the doctor" I said "Mommy will make breakfast in a second"
"Oatmeal?" Jade asked
"You just want oatmeal? Mommy can make you pancakes" I said as I settled Cat on the corner of the couch so I could get up
I picked up Jade and kissed her cheek "I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time with you yesterday but today well go to the park okay?" I said
"Okay" Jade said
As I started plating the pancakes Cat woke up and started crying. "Mommy!" she cried
"I'm right here hold on Cat" I said before I placed Jade's plate and sippy cup of orange juice in front of her
I picked up Cat from the couch and rubbed her back. I realized she was crying because her diaper is full. I laid her down on the changing mat and grabbed the diaper bag from the stroller and grabbed a long sleeved hot pink onesie for her from the shopping bag.
I held my breath while I opened Cat's diaper and I had to get up and throw it away before I came back and wiped her down. I put powder in her new diaper and then tapped it up on her before I put her onesie on. Cat's crying turned into little hiccups and sniffs
"Okay you're okay now" I said as I put her on my hip "Are you hungry?" I asked
Cat shook her head no. "You want your bottle?" I asked
She shook her head no. I put Cat in her highchair and gave her one pancake to nibble on.
Beck came downstairs "Good morning" he said
"Beck I'm going to take her to the doctor" I said as we both got some pancakes
"You want me to take her?" he asked
"Will you do that so I can take Jade somewhere?" I asked
"Sure spend some time with Jade" he said
"Mommy more?" Cat asked pointing to her empty plate
"No Cat you'll get worse I'll make your bottle" I said
"No!" Cat yelled
"Cat listen to Mommy you're sick you can't have all those pancakes" Beck said
I made Cat a bottle of milk and put it in front of her before I sat down.
Cat threw it on the ground "I wan a pancake!" she yelled
"Cat just because you're sick that doesn't mean I won't put you in timeout for miss behaving" I said as I got up to get her bottle from the floor.
"If you throw this on the floor you're going to the corner for two minutes" I said before I set her bottle in front of her again
Cat pouted and stared at it before she chucked it on the floor again
I stood up and put Cat in the corner. She started crying. "Nooooo!" she cried
"Listen to Mommy next time" I said before I went back to the table and ate my food
"Daddy!" Cat cried
"Cat come here" I said
Cat walked over to me messing with her diaper. "Say sorry" I said
"Sorry" Cat said "Are you wet?" I asked
Cat nodded "I'll change her Tori you can get ready" Beck said
"Thank you" I said before I went upstairs
After I showered and got dressed into a purple dress. Beck put jeans on Cat and I dressed Jade in lavender shirt with jeans and blue converse.
"Mommy do I have to get in the stroller?" Jade asked
"No but you cannot run away from me" I said
"I won't" Jade said
"Okay then" I said
"Bye Daddy" Jade said as she hugged Beck. Cat's in her highchair drinking her bottle.
I filled my purse with a few things for Jade before I took her hand and we left.
"Mommy used to go to this park when she was your age Jade" I said "There's a sandbox and tire swings! Even monkey bars"
I expected Jade to get tired of walking but she was good the whole walk to the park.
"No one else is here Mommy" Jade said as she looked through the big empty playground
"Then its just you and me Jade" I said as I picked her up "Come on lets go on the swing!" I said
I put Jade on the tire swing before I put my legs through "Hold on tight!" I said before I made us spin around
Jade burst into a fit of giggles. I laughed with her and then we played on the playground. I chased her around. As we did this I realized how much I loved being a mother. Even if it is to my best friends.
"Mommy's gonna get you!" I said before I picked up Jade and kissed her cheeks
I heard some clapping behind us and turned around quickly. It was the witch again.
"Well done Tori. Well done" she said
"If you're here to tease me more then please leave" I snapped as I put Jade on my hip
"I'm not I actually. I want to change your friends back you two did a good job taking care of them even if it was only three weeks. You handled Cat being sick well but if I change them you must promise me to never play that little game again" she said
"I promise please change them" I said
"I'll be at your house tonight" she said before she puffed away into purple dust
