"...I didn't say that and you know it Alex!" I screamed.
"You didn't?! Cause it sure as heck sounds like you did!" He screamed at me.
"How could you say that!" I snapped.
"How can you act like you didn't just blame our children for you not being able to go out and sing?!" He yelled.
"I DIDN'T BLAME THEM ALEX!" I screamed, "I'm just saying that now that you are gone at work all the time I can't go out and audition for gigs! It's not like I can just up and leave the kids!"
"You can always call the babysitter Natalie! Oh wait! YOU FIRED HER!" He yelled.
The twins started screaming.
"GREAT! You woke the babies!" I said throwing my hands up.
He glared at me, "Don't worry, I'll go take care of them. Feel free to go audition for some stupid gig."
He walked upstairs.
I was fuming, I looked at Mason who just stood there akwardly. I walked away into the living room, I hated that Mason just walked into us fighting. I hated that we just had our first fight, and that I didn't know how to fix it....
...And I hated the fact that I was pregnant....
I'm not saying that I hated this baby, or regretted it. I don't, I love him or her. I just hate that we only had $345 right now. I'm out of work and as soon as Alex gets paid the bills are due. I'm scared that this baby is going to suffer, and that we still had three mouths to feed.
On a better note, Mason was doing great in school! He was on honor roll! He told me he got a job too!
"I want to help with... with the baby you know. I know things are going to be tight." He said.
"Honey that's sweet, but you don't have to do it. This is your first job, you have your own money now. You should be able to enjoy it!" I told him.
"But I want to help mom, I don't mind! I'll save a little bit for me, for my own car!" He begged.
I finally caved, how could I resist those puppy eyes?
He was so excited for his first day! So excited that he ran for the taxi that came and picked him up! I would have to tell him we couldn't afford a taxi, and he has to see if he can get a ride with a friend...
There was a lot to do around the house, and Alex and I still weren't speaking to eachother. He would make me supper and leave it in the fridge, and then sleep on the couch. I hated thinking about it, so I kept myself busy by cleaning up the millions of toys the girls had!
I was headed into the kitchen and Alex was heading into the living room, we both stopped and looked at the floor.
"Natalie I hate this." He mumbled.
I didn't know what to say.
"Natalie I'm sorry, I know that's not what you meant!" He pleaded.
"Then why did you say I did!" I snapped.
"I don't know! I was angry! PLEASE! I'm sorry! I cant stand you being mad at me!" He pleaded.
"...I'm not mad at you." I whispered.
We forgave eachother, he kissed me and then hugged me.
"...I'm pregnant." I whispered in his ear.
He stood still and didn't say a word for at least five minutes. He pulled me away with huge eyes.
"Yo-You are?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"I-But- Holy crap." He started.
"I know." I said.
"We only have $300! I'm going to have to pull extra hours!" He stressed.
"Hey! We will figure it out!" I told him, "We always do."
"I hope we can... Natalie, I really hope we can..." He whispered.
I saw something float passed our feet.
"CHARLIE!" I gasped.
He barked and wagged his tail, it was his ghost!
"Oh Charlie!" I said smiling.
"It's going to be okay Natalie, I'll make sure of it." Alex whispered rubbing my back. I just nodded.
Drama! Thank you all for the comments!!! Like always, let me know what you thought!
