That moment when you burst out crying in your room & you realize that no one knows how unhappy you are.

Kayleigh's POV

   Tatum and Sean both turned around. "Daddy!" Tatum said, running to the man.

Sean sat down. "Daddy, come pick me up." He said.

I laughed.

"I see you made it." Timothy said, looking at me.

I nodded. "Here I am." I said.

Tatum giggled. "You're funny." She said.

"Thank you." I said.

Timothy laughed. "Hettie, why don't you show Kayleigh to her room?" He asked.

   Hattie nodded. "Follow me." She said.

   I followed her down a hall.

   "This is Tatum's room." Hettie said, opening a door.

   I peeked into a totally lavender room that was decorated to the max, and looked very girlie.

   Hettie laughed. "Tatum is only a girlie-girl when it comes to colors." She said.

   "Otherwise, she loves sports, games and pretty much whatever her father is into." She added.

   "Well, I can understand why." I said. "No offense to you, but you know, she's always had a mother."

   Hettie nodded and moved on to the next room. "This is Sean's room. He, like Tatum, much prefers Timothy." She said.

   I smiled, peeking into the room that was painted a nice royal blue, with sports posters on the wall.

   Hettie smiled. "And, your room is right across from Tatum's." She said, leading me to a room.

   I opened the door, and peaked inside. "Oh Hettie." I gasped.

   The room was painted a soft white, with pink curtains. My name was on the wall in a curvy black font.

   I turned around and hugged Hettie.

   Hettie hugged me back.

   I pulled away and sat down on the bed. "So. How is everything?" I asked.

   Hettie giggled and sat next to me. "You do realize we just met like less than an hour ago?" She asked.

   I smiled. "You act as if we haven't been texting back and forth for the last year and a half." I said.

   Hettie shrugged. "I'll take it. Well, marriage is something new, and now I have two kids!" She said.

   I laughed. "Well, now you have a nanny." I said.

   Hettie smiled. "That I do. And I'm sure you'll be great." She said.

   I sighed. "I hope so." I said.

   Timothy knocked on the door before entering the room.

   "Do you like it?" He asked, gesturing to the room.

   "I love it. Thanks so much." I said, getting up and hugging him.

   "Kayleigh, you're welcome." Timothy said.

   "Yeah. I'm lucky I made it here." I said.

   "Finally." Hettie added.

   "Yeah." I said.

   "So, is Jack with Jennie tonight?" Timothy asked.

   I looked at him. "Jennie? She left Jack right after..." I shook my head, willing myself to stop thinking about that.

Timothy and Hettie looked at each other.

   "Well, we should let you get settled." Hettie said, standing up.

   I smiled. "Thanks." I said.

   Hettie smiled. "It's no problem Kayleigh." She said, putting her arm around Timothy.

   "Our bedroom is just down the hall. And there's a bathroom right beside this room." Timothy said, then he and Hettie left the room, closing the door behind them.
