It was almost as if a seed of discord had planted inside us against each other and every word we threw at the other urged us to scratch out each other’s throat.
That wasn’t going to happen tonight, I was going to try my best to be understanding, to listen to him first, to not jump into conclusions and to let him see that I didn’t come to fight with him.
Immediately I pulled open the door the heavy scent of cinnamon filtered into my nose and the spice almost made me sneeze. Did Christie bring up anything with cinnamon very recently?
I moved in the direction of the guest room but a small squeak from Jessy’s room caught my attention and had me moving in that direction.
The sight of my daughter sat on the floor playing with the large amount of toys that surrounded her at midnight was not a very pleasant sight to see.
“Jess, are you okay baby? Why are you not sleeping? Are you not tired?” I asked my child softly.
I had put her into bed before going to my room for the night. Had she woken up again? That never really happened for Jessy. It was rare for her to wake up again during the night once she started sleeping.
“Tiyud mommy.”
“Then go to bed babe.” I urged, settling down in the floor beside her and ushering her into my arms.
My protruding stomach stood in the way of the hug I was trying to give her but we made it work like we were used to doing.
“I don’t want Simon to go mommy.” Jessy said, in the smallest voice that almost made me cry.
Sighing heavily, I squeezed my child a little before placing a kiss on her head.
“Me too honey, but Emilia gets to make that decision not any of us. She promised to bring him to see you often and you can also go and see him often too. So it’s almost like you’re still together, right?” I asked in an overexcited tone, hoping to rub off on my four years old.
But to no avail.
“Is daddy upset with me?” Jessy suddenly asked and I could swear that my heart skipped three beats.
Was Greyson being grumpy and mean to Jessy too? Last I knew he wasn’t, he pretty much kept his anger till I was the only one there. He was still here for Jessy, he still tuck her into bed, in fact to our child he was still the perfect father.
Why would she ask this?
“He could never honey. Why would you think so?”
“He hasn’t painted with me for a while.” She responded sadly and I swallowed heavily.
That was their thing. Greyson knew that and no matter how busy he got, he still found the time to do it with her.
“He’s just a little busy now honey. I’m sure soon, you’ll both would be turning another wall into your board again.” I said, tickling Jessy’s side, this time it worked and the giggle that tore out of Jessy was contagious.
“You’re so beautiful my baby, I love you so much.” I said softly to Jessy and she flashed her pearly whites at me, causing me

to do the same.
I tuck her into bed once more and place a kiss on her head.
“Goodnight baby.”
I watched as her eyes slowly dropped and finally she was asleep.
I picked up the pillow that I had abandoned at the side of the bed and continued in the direction that I had intended to before.
But this time the moment I pull the door open a loud moan hits my ears.
And froze me in my tracks.
