She was glad she told Dana, she knew not telling her would have slowly eat away at her own sanity, but looking around the room she wondered if her sanity was worth what she probably just lost.

7AM NEXT MORNING

When Alice walked into the kitchen she couldn’t help but smiled at the sight of Joey. He had obviously dressed himself for bed the night before. He had his San Fransico 49ers pajamia top on with his Harry Poter bottom. Though she found the sight of him adorable with his mismatched Pjs and his hair sticking up everywhere, she knew if Dana had picked out this Pjs everything would have matched perfectly.

Joey lately had been trying to do more for himself telling both of his moms how he wasn’t a baby anymore, and how he could take care of himself. Though it was hard for both of them they were trying to let go of Joey and let him grow up.

Alice knew with what was probably going to happen, his pleas of wanting to grow up was probably about to be fulfilled. She knew from her own experiences that nothing could cause a child to grow up more quickly then the split of their parents.

She hated what she had done to her family and what she was about to do to Joey. Because of one night of stupidity, Joey’s life was about to be turned upside down once again.

When Dana walked back into the kitchen she noticed Alice standing there watching their son. Dana wanted to shield Joey from all the problems she and Alice were having, she wasn’t even sure what she was going to do yet, so how was she going to explain it to him.

She decided at that moment the best way of handling the situation was to pretend there wasn’t a situation. “Alice would you like something for breakfast?”

Alice for her part was taken aback by Dana’s offer but decided she wouldn’t rock the boat in any way, hoping deep down that some how Dana would forgive her. “I’m OK, I’ll just have a little coffee thank you. So Joey what’s your big plans for the day?”

As Joey sat there and told Alice about how much he hated spelling, though he did well in it, he just hated memorizing all those words. You could see his eyes light up when he talked about soccer, and how they were going to make him the goalie in the next game, so he couldn’t wait for practice and he hoped Alice could be there to see him play.
