"I just...I can't.....You......you had the.....and then......AHHHHH. WHAT THE FUCK MCKENZIE!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA-" "Do I? I have have ANY IDEA?" "NO! Do YOU. Do YOU have any idea what I have been through?! You- of ALL THE FUCKING PEOPLE ON THE PLANET do not have the right to judge me." "What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?! I think I have THE MOST right to judge you- just a little bit. I mean- goddamn Mckenzie you just DISAPPEARED. *poof* GONE. And suddenly I'm up to my ears in diapers and wabbit tabblets- and you don't think you owe me just the tiniest little bit of an explanation?!?" "I mean- what I lost.....I'll never get that back." "Oh boo-fucking-hoo, so no more parties in the bluffs for you. Pardon me while I play the worlds smallest violin for your lost innocence." "Is THAT what you think this is about?! FUCK that- I'm talking about what I lost with my kids. They were toddlers when I met them. TODDLERS. I missed their first steps, their first words, I wasn't there when they were born. YOU. You made that decision for me. You took that from me." "Not to mention.....what you took from them. What you're going to keep taking from them. What.....what am I supposed to tell them when they ask me why you're not there? What am I supposed to say when they ask me why you didn't want them?! You may not want to tell ME anything- but you owe them more than that." "...................................." "I mean, do you love them? Do you even care?" "....AAACHDGH." "You fucking IDIOT. Of course I love them. I love them more than anything else in the world. And YOU- how DARE you even suggest otherwise. You don't know me- you, you don't know anything that I went through. I didn't ask for this- I didn't WANT this. My life was GREAT until I met you. This whole thing.....it was never supposed to happen." "I don't get it. If you love them- why did you do this? Why didn't you just tell me?" "I don't know." "Oh come on." "I. DON'T. KNOW. Why does anyone do anything? Because they're stupid? Because they're scared? I mean- I'm twenty one, I never wanted kids. But just because I didn't want them- doesn't mean I don't love them. That's why I went to Candice. I knew she'd take care of them. I knew she'd give them the love that I didn't know HOW to give. I didn't know she'd contact you. I thought she'd just find them a good home and that would be it." "And what about me? What about me made you think that you couldn't come to me? If you didn't want them- fine. I can make peace with that- but why wait so long? We....we could have done this together." "I don't think it matters now. What's done is done." "Well, for what it's worth- she did. We have a great home. In a really fucked up kind of way- I owe you. Those kids are the best thing that ever happened to me." "That....makes me happy. Despite everything- I want them.....I want all of you....to be happy." "You could- you could see them. If you wanted to." "No. I don't want to see them." "Mckenzie......" "I said no. Just.....take care of them. And yourself. I.....have to go, I have a plane to catch." "Mckenzie....." "I have to go. Goodybe Austin." "Go if you want Mckenzie-I won't stop you. I'm done looking for you. But one day- you're going to have to face them. Until then, I hope you'll be okay." "Goodbye." "Goodbye Mckenzie." "For now." "Ugh. Hey buddy- you would not believe the night I had." Tell me about it. "Do me a favor." After THAT- name it. "Next time Saya throws me a party- DON'T. LET. ME. GO." Deal. *CRASH* I think it came from the kitchen. "At this point- I'm not sure I can handle anymore surprises tonight." "What the-" "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!" "Hahaha- what did you guys do in here? Have a party while I was gone?" "No- we baked a cake! The babysitter helped us with the oven and I did the frosting!" "Hey Mira! I helped too!" "Oh puh-lease Matty- spare me. All you did was lick the bowl." "Hahahaha- okay guys, settle down. I love it! It's a beautiful cake! Thank you so much- best birthday gift I ever got!" "Really?!" "Really. You two are the best thing that ever happened to me- so I know you've already made the best cake." "Okay- blow out the candles now! And don't forget to make a wish!" ".......and then I was like- 'No Jonah, you can't move your rook there. You're never gonna win like that." "So chess club is fun?" "Oh yeah- it's the best." "As if Mira- it's just a nerd club." "You're the Dork Matty. At least I have friends in chess club." "Well at least I'm the cool one." "Nuh-uh." "Uh-Huh." "Okay- enough of that- how about a movie?" "Yeah!" "All right!" "Adiós." "Por ahora." "Hi Miss Sheena!" "Oh hi Matthias! How have you been?" "Great! I came to tell Miss Candice that Daddy loved the cake we baked!" "I'm sure she'd love to hear about it- check the playroom, I saw her there last." "Okay." This is great. It's been a rough few days- I need some adorable child antics to balance things out. Let's tell Miss Candice all about the cake Matthias. Matthias? "Who is that?" Oh come on. What is it with the men in this family? You fall hard- and you fall fast. *sigh* Go on Matthias- make an adorable move. "HI! I'm Matthias Viridi, the coolest kid in Newcrest!" .......First of all- that title has been claimed forever by Brad. Second of all- what? "Hahahaha- you're funny. I'm Leah- wanna play?" "Sure!" Huh. That worked. I guess nine year olds are much easier to impress. "Miss Candice." "Yes Dear- what is it?" "The counter is sticky again." "I keep telling you Sheena- it's a childrens home- every surface is sticky. Learn to embrace it dear." Now that's how you impress a lady Matthias- invite her to a club! It's already more sucessful tha than the poke-VOIDCRITTERS thing that your dad started. "This is AWESOME Matthias! How did you come up with this?" "It just came to me." Oh yeah- I don't need credit, it's cool. Future Astronaut? Secret Spy? Who knows? ;) And just like that- our puppy is an elder Doggo. Looking a little grey there Arlo Bud. But at least we have Bernie the Hamster! Here's to hoping no one dies from Hamster disease. After all that drama, I'm looking forward to a peaceful evening and uneventful rest of the season. OH COME ON.

I'm loving this story! I was sad to read about Madi - talk about plot twist! - but am glad to see that Austin has stepped up.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you're enjoying the ride! Yeah- that thing with Madi was shocking to ME. lol But the good news is- I learned my lesson and bought a sprinkler. :)

Yes, those sprinklers are really important, ugly though they may be. I learned that quickly with my first TS4 legacy family. The kitchen started to burn - lost the stove, a counter, and the tea pot before she got the fire put out. Sprinklers in all my houses now, as soon as I can afford them. Leave a Reply. |
