It's true what they say 1 kid is like 1 2 is like 20 honestly me and Tess have been so fucking tired I forgot how much work a new baby is I turn over and check the time 6am I see Tessa is starting to wake up Auden should be awake soon "Morning"I hear her sleepy voice say "Morning beautiful"I give her a quick kiss and we hear Auden start to fuss "I'll get him"I climb out "Morning buddy"he coos as I take him up and lay him down beside Tessa and she rolls over "he is getting so big"she says and it's true Auden is only 3 weeks but he is a really big baby "I miss your mom"she says

"I don't"

"Hardin she was only here for a week you see her once a year be a bit nicer"she says softly "I am nice to her"

"Ok"she laughs "well I'm nicer to her then I was before"

"That is true"she smiles and Auden starts fussing again "are you hungry baby"she says and lifts him up   and then my phone starts ringing "who is it"

"Just my manger I'll be back now" I get up to answer my phone

"Do you know what time it is"I spit into the phone "of course I do I'm sorry for ringing this early out something came up they want you do fly to Los Angles to do an interview with a top magazine"

"Hell no my wife just had a baby"

"It will only be for one night"

"Leaving when"

"12 today"

"Are you crazy let me call you back"

"Hurry I have to book flights"she says and I hang up the phone "what was that about"Tessa ask when I go back in "They want me to fly to La for the night"

"Oh"

"Today"I add and her eyes go wide "so soon wow"

"I can say no"I tell her "no you have to go it's work"

"But Tess what about you and the kids"

"We will be fine it's one night we will be fine"she says but doesn't sound that convincing "I promise"she says

"I'll go let me call her back" I ring back my manger and tell her I'll do it and she sends me the flights details "fuck"

"What's wrong"

"The flight tomorrow isn't till the night"

"Don't stress it's one day I'll help you pack"she gets out of bed "Are you sure you will be alright alone"

"I used to be home with Emery alone when she was a baby it will be ok"she reassures me and she starts packing "Tess remember it's one night"

"I know I know......there done"she closed the small bag "what time are you leaving"

"12"

"Well you still have a couple of hours let's have breakfast you wake Emery"she says taking Auden and walking to the kitchen I know it's only 1 night but I don't want to leave Tessa and the kids and I know Emery try's to get a way more when I'm not around I just don't want her to stress Tessa with the baby
