10 -- Going to get Daddy (Ellie's POV)
We
are going to the police place with mommy. All of us. Me, MJ, Chloe,
and Stefanie. I guess daddy's car isn't working again, cause he
is there waiting for us. His car breaks down a lot at the police
place. Maybe the policemens are just nice to daddy and so he likes
to go there when his car is broken.
It
took mommy a long time to get us all in the car. Usually, whenever
all four of us kids go someplace in the car, daddy is there to help
or Johnny or Max, but today they aren't. I got to be mommy's helper,
cause I holded onto MJ's hand while mommy put the twins in the car.
It took her a long time, cause they hate to go in their car seats.
They kept crying and screaming every time mommy tried to put the
bar things over their heads. Mommy said something real quiet to
herself about how they were definitely their father's daughters,
hating bars and all.
She
finally got them in their seats, but I think she was really tired
when she got done, cause she had to sit down in the seat for a minute
and she kept rubbing her back. Her tummy is really big again, MJ
told you there are two again, right? Mommy says this is it, she
is not having anymore babies. She said that last time too though,
so I don't believe her.
She
was super mad at daddy the day she found out. I don't know why she
was so mad at him; Auntie Kristina says that it takes two to tango.
I didn't know that when people dance they make babies. There is
no way I am gonna go to that stupid ballet class next week that
mommy wants me to go to. I don't like those pink fuzzy things they
make you wear and there are way too many babies in our house right
now.
After
she finished sitting down, we had to look for MJ. I let go of his
hand acc'dentally cause he forgot to hold onto my puppy's leash
and they both ran off. It took us a long time to find them in the
garage and when we did, mommy was really mad. She doesn't like my
puppy very much I don't think, but I don't know why. He is so cute
and he gives me kisses all the time, and he jumps and plays a lot.
Mommy
must like him a little bit cause she is the one who named him. But
mommy named him a grown up word. Don't you think "dammit"
is a grown up word for a little puppy? But that's what she always
says to him, so I guess that is what she wants his name to be.
She
was kinda mad when daddy got him for me. Daddy felt sorry for me,
cause I was sick and he thought a puppy would cheer me up. Daddy
was right, but I think maybe he should have asked mommy before he
got it, cause mommy was really mad. `Course, that was also the day
mommy found out about the babies coming, so it really pro'ly was
not a good day for the puppy to come.
We
finally found them and put them in the car. Mommy hates driving
this car and keeps saying that daddy is gonna have to buy a bus
when the new twins get here. The puppy kept crawling in mommy's
lap and she said for me to hold the puppy or she was going to stop
at the pound on the way to the police place and "dammit, that
dog is going to have a new family to torture."
I
started to cry and mommy said she didn't mean it, but I know she
did. Mommy hates Dammit and I don't want her to make the puppy go
away. I held onto him so tight that he got mad and bited me. I started
screaming and bleeding a little, MJ saw the blood and threw up on
the back of mommy, and the twins started crying cause the puppy
was yapping. Mommy was trying to be calm, but I heard her say that
Johnny and Max are fired for this and daddy may be better off staying
in jail cause when she gets hold of him, she is going to hurt him,
and then she said something bout a `sectomy again. I think daddy
better go to the hospital and get that op'ration.
