Trevor I picked up the kids from school early so we have enough time to get ready. "how come we get to go home before all the other kids today, daddy?" Emmett asked curiously. "Because we have a surprise for mommy and we have to get ready," I explained. "But mom is at work, "Emmalee,… Continue reading Chapter 4.35

Dean "Come in," I said when I heard a knock on the door of my office. "Hey," Trevor walked in and took a seat at one of the chairs in front of my desk. "Hey," I nodded my head. It was awkward between us every since he saw me with Lisa. I get it, I… Continue reading Chapter 4.34

"Good morning," I said to Nora as I walked into her office, "what's on the agenda for today?" It's been a month since I came back to work and it was harder than I expected. My mom comes over every day to watch Emmalee and I used to call her ten times a day to… Continue reading Chapter 4.28

Dakota As soon as we brought Emmaliee home from the hospital, it felt like time started sprinting. She was already three months old. I saved all my vacation and sick days and added them to my family leave so I had four months to spend with my baby. The first few weeks we had so… Continue reading Chapter 4.27
