1 month later….
"I'm trying to tell you that I can't take her with me in the building, no one is going to be there to watch her. I'ma be too busy" My husband said on the other line.
"What the fuck Mason! Don't you think I deserve a break too?!"
"Excuse me I have been chipping in. I've help you with her since birth"
"Real mature throwing that in my fuckin’ face but who has to watch her 24/7 for three weeks now while you work?"
"Can you see I'm trying to provide for both of you. It's not easy"
"I'm tired, I haven't gotten any rest in so long! The last time I had a good rest was the first two weeks she came home."
"I understand but I'm sorry, I can't. If you want I can-"
"You know what, go to work, I'll call Marissa over. Fuck you!" I banged on him. I sat back in the chair and put my head in my hands as my fingers ran through my hair in frustration. God, why is it so hard to make him see things my way? When I looked up at Izzy she smiled at me with her toothless smile. I smiled back at her and I wiped the tears from my cheeks as I talked to my little girl.
"You know Mami loves you baby girl? Mami is just angry at Daddy for him being an ass to me when I need him the most, because sometimes you can be a handful. How about we call mama Rissa and see if she wanna hang.” Isabella just giggled. I grabbed my phone that was on the side of Izzy and called Marissa.
When she came over around four she was so happy to see her goddaughter. She hasn't seen her since I gave birth to her because she has been so busy lately with her cosmetics shop and all that. We just chilled and watched Supernatural while Izzy slept. Marissa had me cracking up because she kept saying joke after joke about every character. But then she got off topic for a second. "Oh my god guess what?!"
"What happened?”
"You remember that boy you had a crush on back in 2nd grade?"
"Who Rolando?"
"Yeah well I saw him at my job and let me tell you, when I say he was buff and sexy lookin. You gonna be wishing you never said no to that kiss"
"I was only like seven or eight and plus I was too shy to speak to him. Anyways I already have a buff husband now. But he acting stupid"
"Why, what did stupid do now?"
"He pissed me off because I told him I needed a break but no he wanna say 'oh I can't take her because no one gonna be there to take care of her' like what the fuck. No, you can get Caroline to help. But Noooo he wants to leave me with Izzy."
"Aw damn. So that's why you called me here?"
"Yeah that too but like I wanted to chill as well. We haven't got to in a while"
"I know but I didn't wanna bother you about anything because you been so happy with Izzy and all that"
"I am happy with her but sometimes it can be stressing to take care of her alone"
"Shit you think that it's hard now? Wait till she hit puberty"
"Ugh I know and I know I'ma get a lot of mood swings before she get her period"
"Hah wait until she get a bae"
"Oh no she ain't"
"Even if you tell her no, she's gonna wind up doing it anyways behind y'all back. So, would you rather her hide it or tell y'all?"
"It depends on what Mason wants to do ya know. That's his job but I'll let her date if I don't have a bad vibe from the guy"
"You remember your first boyfriend? Your mom almost flipped her shit"
"I knew right and you know what's so crazy, she still don't know about the guys that I used to talk to at those parties we used to go to"
"Really you are twenty-six and you still haven't told her"
"I might haha. You know what I wish?"
"What?"
"That I would have went to prom with Mason instead of Jonathan"
"I would have never thought in a million years you would be married to your crush."
"That's what I'm telling myself to haha. But I seriously love the hell out of him but he has been being an ass lately"
"Well, does he help you with Izzy?"
"Yeah"
"He's a good dad then"
"Hey I thought you were on my side"
"Who said that I was picking sides? I'm just sayin he's just trying to make money to support the both of you."
"True. But if he thinks he's getting any today. He thought wrong"
"Well can you at least talk to him and plan on who is going to take care of her?"
"I'll try I mean it don't hurt to try"
"There ya go. Now let's f-" before she gotta say anything we heard crying from the baby monitor. She said "I got it. You rest"
"No I-"
"No, I came here to help and that's what I'ma do for you."
"Thanks"
"No prob"

Mason was at work as always, I was with Izzy....alone is the house. Usually two months later, things went back to normal and Jay went back to Marissa would come over but today she had to work a night shift. Today Izzy just didn't stop crying and it was so stressful. Finally, after three hours of her crying I got her to go to sleep. I took a deep breath putting my hands on my forehead because I have a headache. Just in that moment I started crying because things are so hard without Mason but I didn't wanna bother him because I called him an hour ago so I picked up my phone and called mom.
"Yes sweetheart"
"I..." I took a deep gasp of air and burst out cry "I can't do this anymore"
"What can't you talk to mama?"
"Today has been so stressful and I can't take it."
"What happened?"
"When I needed Mason to help me with Izzy this week or for the past month for the matter...he wasn't available because. This fucking enterprise"
"If you want I can come over and help you"
"No no you got to take care of violet and I don't want to burden you"
"Don't say that...call Mason then"
"No I'm pissed off at him and plus I have a major fucking headache."
"You know what I think y'all need....a break just take some time off"
"I don't know who will take Izzy mom! And we didn't even get to go on our honeymoon yet we are six months into our marriage."
"Well let me take Izzy for the weekend and y'all can go relax"
"I don't know mom I don't want Izzy expose to-"
"Baby girl she's three months old she will be fine"
"I have to ask him if it's okay for you to take her"
"That's fine now, stop crying and go take Advil then take some rest."
"Okay mom thanks. I love you"
"I love you to baby girl" I hung up and wiped the tears under my eyes then grabbed a paper towel to blow my runny nose. Then I picked up my phone to FaceTime Wilmer.
"Hey angel what's up?" he asked, answering.
"Well I was just going to ask you, are you free this weekend?"
"Well on Saturday I have to be at the office till four then I'm off for the rest of the day and Sunday"
"That's great"
"Why?"
"Because I was just talking to mom and she volunteered to take Izzy for the weekend so we can have some time...together."
"Um....who are you and what did you do with my wife?"
I burst out laughing "Mason I'm serious. I think that Izzy is getting old enough to spend the weekend with her grandparents and Aunts."
"Okay...wow um...Okay that's fine with me and where are we going?"
"Staying home and having some quality time just relaxing"
"Well it's whatever you want to do"
"Okay"
"Hey um I almost forgot to ask you...are you okay?"
"Yeah why?"
"You seem like you were crying before you called me"
"It's just that...it's so stressful without you"
"I'm sorry...Daddy's coming home soon to cuddle with Mami and Izzy" that made me blush.
"Alright I love you"
"I Love you too"
When Mason came over to Mom's around the time I was expecting him, he greeted me with a kiss then turned his attention to Izzy who was crawling around the living room in every other direction. He picked her up and kissed her all up. I smiled at how adorable they were being bonding as daddy and daughter. God this week is going to be hard because I'm going to miss my ball of sunshine. As he was having time with Izzy, Mom and I were talking. She asked "So are you ready to be away from her?"
"Nope. But I know that if I want me and Will to have some alone time together this will be the only way to do that"
"True"
"I hope all goes well"
"Oh I'm sure that it will....tonight but as of the next day....I don't know"
"Well if you want you can call us whenever you'd want to talk to her"
"Thanks mom"
"No prob darling anything for you"
