Ashley’s POV

Finally

A moment of peace where I can just sit back in this over priced office chair and say ‘ahhh’

Today was rather long considering it consisted of nonstop meetings but I feel the need to establish a solid and trustworthy connection with my staff. The little work I did do gave me a familiar distraction and a new drive for my passion. It felt good to be working again after everything that has happened the past six months. My drive to make my form of art was pulsing through my veins again and there’s only one more thing I need to complete my day.

After 7 hours 55 minutes and 49 seconds have passed since I last saw them I’m pulling into the parking garage to pick up my angels

Locking the car and walking into SMC I’m met with the same staff I was introduced to during the tour

“Hello Mrs. Davies. How are you doing this evening?”

“Great Sharin, how about yourself?”

“Very well, thank you.”

She comes from behind the counter, “I will walk you to where the kids are all playing. I think Arin and Emma are playing Barbies and Addison is well…” she trails off when we enter the play room where I see him laying across the lap of a beautiful blonde who seems to be dozing off herself and we share a quiet laugh.

“That is definitely my boy. Thank you again Sharin.”

“No problem. I’ll see you later Mrs. Davies” she says as she pats my shoulder in a friendly way

I walk over to the play area and sneak up behind Arin covering her eyes. “How’s my little teapot?”

“Short and stout!” She squees and jumps into my arms giving me a tight hug. “I miss you today mommy”

“I missed you even more baby girl. Have you been good today?”

“Yes, great! Gampa let us eat pancakes and fruit for lunch and then he drop-ded us off and we watch-ded a movie and Dr. Spencer took Addi cuz he was asleep and drooly on me and I’m playing dolls with Emma.” She shoved the blonde haired doll in my face, “See look and we dress-ded her all pink cuz thas both our favorite colors and now you here so I go home.”
