We Deserve It

Ellie hasn't seen Lacy in quite some time. She had been busy with Sophia, then taking Maddie to cheerleading practice and games constantly and now Ajay was doing karate. She barely even had time to breathe sometimes and never had much time to herself. So, now that Colt was back home, she hit up Lacy and told her she would pick her up so they could chill out and catch up. Ellie booked some time at the spa and was now outside Lacy's house. She texted her to let her know she was there.

I'm here to run away with you and get married. Come out darling!

Lacy saw Ellie's text and grabbed her purse and sweater. "Heading out, I'll be back." she said as she left the house and went to Ellie's car. "Hilarious," she said blandly, referring to her text message as she got in the car.

"You know you love it, dear." she smirked. "Hello hot stuff."

"Hi Ellie." Lacy snorted. "What brings this on?"

"Um, I miss you?" she chuckled. "I've been busy with the kids and you must be too, so I figured we could go out and spend the day kid free."

She chuckled. "If I'm not with the kids then I'm working."

"And you need a break." she snorted. "So, today is our break. Wooooo!" she said as she started driving to the spa.

She shook her head with a small laugh. "What's been up?"

"Not much, really. Getting adjusted to being a stay at home, Mommy."

"Crazy boring, isn't it?"

"Sometimes." she chuckled. "Sophia keeps me entertained for the most part when the kids are at school."

"Jack and Carly are starting to talk, so I actually understand them now." Lacy snorted.

"About time." she laughed. "Sophia says a few words here and there, but she's pretty easy to understand with the way she acts sometimes."

"She is your daughter." she joked. "Jack is in this stage where he freaks out if he thinks anyone is leaving the house."

"That's strange." She laughed.

"He just has a lot of feelings."

"Apparently." she snorted. "Sophia is strange. She'll get an attitude at home when she can't have alone time with Scott or whenever something doesn't go her way, but when we're in public she gets all shy and scared when a lot of people are around."

"At least she talks to you." she chuckled. "Carly barely tolerates us."

"Sophia barely acknowledges me when her Dad is home." she chuckled. "She only wants me when he's not home and that's only for food." she snorted. "Carly just likes to do her own thing." she chuckled.

"Carly mostly sticks with Brandon. She only talks to us if she injures herself." She snorted. "Which is a lot, considering she likes to play outside."

"Ah so she's not girly like Ally."

"Yes and it boggles Ally's mind." Lacy snorted.

"I can imagine how bewildered she must get." she said as she parked the car.

"She tries to make Carly play dress up and, well.. Carly's got a good right arm."

"Takes after her Mama." she joked. "We are here darling."
