“It’s okay,” I told him “I’ll make sure she feels extra, extra loved And you too, if you need it”
“Oh, I need it,” Cade responded with a deep laugh “Alright, well tell her I’m sorry and I love her”
“I will See you tonight” I swished the water again
Cade let out a lol “No, I’ll see you tonight”
I finished et the kids I felt bad for Cade that he was unable to be there for Nova, but I knew she loved having me drop her off at ballet, so I was certain she would be okay I signed the kids out of their school, loaded them into the van, and started off for the twins’ baseball practice I’d been nannying the kids for close to aall of their activities It was thethe boys to baseball, drop Trey at karate, and then bring Nova to ballet Typically by the tiot those four dropped off, it was nearly already ti the reo and pick up the twins, bringing the theo back for Trey and Nova, bring theet a treat of their own, drop Trey at home, and then drop Nova
I climbed out in front of Nova’s ballet studio with Danille, Tyler, and Ricky Nova was a little sad that Cade couldn’t be with her, but I snuggled her up lots and gave her a kiss on the cheek as I sent her off to join her friends, telling her sweetly that I’d be back for her when the practice was over
She gaveoff to join the others she called out, “Bye mom!”
My heart was like a balloon that had been pue s I had never felt before That sweet girl cared about h to at least accidentally call me mom, and that made me feel like aback at Nova’s ballet practice to pick her up before heading out to pick up Trey, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was picking up hter
She ran up to e s I squeezed her tight, and then loaded her into the van and went to get Trey I dropped Trey at home and then took Nova to finally be reunited with her very exhausted papa
“Daddy!” she yelped as alked through the door
She ran up to hi “Hi, princess!”
“I got froyo from Jordan!” she said
“Did you? She spoils you a little too ed He wasn’t wrong “Well, go put on some comfy clothes and we’ll have some dinner”
