Finally, she looks at me and says, “You know what… yeah. I’m going to say yes this time. I need help, and I’m not afraid to say that.”
“That’s my girl! You hear that, Charlie? We’re partying tonight.”
He lets out a squeal and looks like he’s trying to clap his hands like he knows exactly what we’re talking about. Gigi and I both start clapping right along with him regardless.
“Okay.” She huffs out a breath. “I’m gonna go grab his stuff. I’ll be right back.”
“I still have his Pack 'n Play,” I yell after her as she makes her way out my front door. Taking a quick look at Charlie to ensure he’s still occupied, I grab my phone to look and see if I’ve missed anything important or if there are bookings from clients that need to be approved. The first thing my eyes see is:
*Dom has added you to the group chat
*Dom changed the group chat name to “Fearsome Threesome”
*You changed the group chat name to “Lil’s Bitches”
Dom the Don
Hey my group chat name was good!
Em aka Big Boy
Lil’s group name is better. I’d happily get on my knees anytime for her.
Dom the Don
???
Em aka Big Boy
*sigh* you too, Dominic
I simultaneously laugh and roll my eyes. I vividly remember telling each of them,several times, that group chats are the bane of my existence. Clay has tried multiple times to add me to a group chat with him and my brother. I have left said group chat, every time.
The constant pinging of notifications on my phone is enough to send me over the edge most days.
Does that make me sound like a bitch?Maybe.
Do I care?Not really.
And right on cue, another message comes through, and my eyes are rolling.
Em aka Big Boy
What are you doing Lil?
Dom the Don
Yeah we miss you
I snap a picture of the back of Charlie’s head as he plays with a soft book and send it with my next message.
Me
I’m on baby duty right now.
Dom the Don
Em she has a kid and we didn’t even know
