I woke up to Adam shaking me awake.
“Lacey, Come on, Get up.” He said, in a whisper, as to not wake up Angela.
“Mhm,” I grumbled.
I sat up and followed him down the stairs and on to the porch. We both sat on the steps, and I rested my head on his shoulder.
“I really like sitting outside in the morning with you,” I said to him.
“Ditto darling. It really is nice.”
“Adam?” I asked him, looking into his eyes, only to meet his gaze. “Can I go back to school?”
“Do you think you’re ready?” He said, anwsering my question with one of his own.
“Well, I wanna work on getting to the toilet on time, but, yeah, I wanna go back. I miss my friends, my teachers, I miss being busy.”
“If you want to, I’m sure Ang can help you with your day time accidents. I think going back to school would be good for you.” He said, putting his arm around my shoulder and rubbing my back.
“Okay, I think I will talk to mommy this morning then.” Was said in the middle of a yawn.
“Well that wou–” He started, but got cut off by the creaking of the screen door opening.
Angela walked out with the cordless in one hand, she was in a robe and her hair looked like it hadn’t been brushed in ages, it was kinda funny. I just couldn’t help but giggle.
“Jeremy is on the phone.” She said, referring to one of Adam’s co-workers. “And just what are you laughing at little missy?”
“You look funny with your hair all messy.” Was heard through my giggling fit, I put my hand over my mouth to stiffle them.
“Well, you don’t look so hot yourself now do you?” She said, with a big grin on her face.
“Hey!”
“Oh don’t worry about it.”
In the background you could hear Adam talking in a muffled voice, he got up and walked in the house, but you could still hear the occasional “Mhm” coming from him. He walked back out, gave Angela the phone and looked at us.
“I have to go in now, there was a huge system error, I will probably have to stay late today.” He said to us.
“Awwe! Okay, bye bye,” I said.
“Bye sexy, call me when your on your way so I can have our dinner ready,” Angela said, giving him a kiss on the neck.
Adam came over and gave me a hug and a peck on the forehead and he was off.
We both went inside and Angela got me a bowl of Lucky Charms and I ate it while she sat and watched, having a piece of toast herself.
“Can I go back to school?” I asked her.
Angela looked at me, with a suprised look; I didn’t know it at the time, but it was a look of relief at the same time.
“Of course you can!” She exclaimed. She looked happy, and I was also, she liked my idea, that was a big relief.
“I thought you might be mad.” I said to her.
“Why would I be mad?”
“I don’t know…” I replied, becuase, I didn’t know why, in fact, it seemed pretty stupid to even think of that.
I finished eating breakfast and we both went upstiars.
“Okay, I figure you want to make it to the potty on time, so potty training boot camp starts today. Soldier, lay down!” She said with a grin, putting her hand to her forehead in a salute. I giggled and lay down. She took off my night time diaper and then cleaned me up a little.
“Okay, step,” I stepped into the goodnight she was holding out in front of her.
I went to my dresser and took out a denim skirt and a yellow t-shirt with Tweetie on it, and got dressed.
“Ready?” Angela asked me.
“Yeppers mommy!” I said.
