"Grandma said it's because of work," Athena replied. "Right baby, Mommy had a lot of work and we didn't finish on time, so I decided to sleep over. You guys missed Mommy right?" I asked, my face beaming with smiles. "Yes, Mommy we did" they chorused.

I shouldn't have brought her here, maybe if she didn't know her way around the house she wouldn't have escaped, what was I thinking? I should have been more careful" I lamented, clenching my fist hard."Ooouch" I groaned in pain as I struggled to stand on my feet. I walked slowly to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. I needed to be calm to think about what to do next. I gulped down the whole content of the bottle and slowly walked to the living room and sat down on one of the couches."That nitwit had the guts to hit me, and of all places, my freaking balls!" I let out vehemently. I was about reducing her to nothing, I was about reminding her of who she will ever be regardless of how hard she tries not to be that person.

    I woke up the next day with a migraine from the hangover. I dragged myself out of bed and entered the bathroom for a quick shower. Thank goodness it was the weekend, otherwise, I would have gone to work with a headache. I changed into something casual and headed downstairs to make breakfast before Zion and his siblings wakes up. I was almost done with making breakfast when Athena walked into the kitchen. "Good morning Mommy" she greeted, trying to rub the sleep off her eyes. "And how is my sunshine doing this morning?" I asked with a smile plastered on my face. "Great Mommy" She replied. "What are you making for breakfast Mommy?" Jasmine asked happily as soon as she entered the kitchen whilst walking up to me for a hug. That was something she does whenever she wakes up from sleep. She would hug my legs with her tiny hands or open her arms for a hug, I always find it cute whenever she does that. "Mommy is making macaroni and cheese, now, you both go upstairs and freshen up, t
