Gen 1 P8

Issac called up Renae and asked if she wanted to met him at the gym.


Fitness was something that Renae had started getting into recently and she was excited about it. It was always nice to have someone to workout with. Renae had pushed herself hard tonight and it felt great. 


As they were getting ready to part ways and head home Renae decided that she could handle her feelings anymore and she kissed Issac. After the kiss neither of them said anything other than goodnight.


When Renae got home she was exhausted and decided to crash on the couch. She didn't want to wake up Xavier and listen to him rant about her being out so late. Little did Renae know that he has been waiting up for her in their room and when she didn't come upstairs he headed down to see what she was doing. 

When he found her asleep on the couch he sat and watched her for a bit. A million different things were going through his head about what she had been doing and who she had been with. He knew things between them weren't great like they used to be. He often got upset with her over his own insecure feelings but he couldn't help himself. He tried to show her how much he loved her but it came out wrong most of the time. He knew if things didn't change he would lose her but he didn't know how to change. 


When Renae arrived work she saw that little Henry was in the exam room. 


She ran a few tests to find out what was wrong with him and because she knew him maybe just maybe she ran more tests than she needed. But she wanted to be sure she didn't misdiagnose him.


Turned out all he had was Gas and Giggles which was easily treated with medication. 


Renae spent more and more time with the kids instead of inside with Xavier. 


She felt like if she spent almost all her time interacting with the kiddos she wouldn't have to pretend to be okay with Xavier. Plus she enjoyed spending all this time with her kids. They grow too fast and Jin would soon be a teen that wouldn't want to spend as much time with her.


She couldn't avoid Xavier all together though. Most night's they ate dinner together as a family and the conversation would be pleasant. 


With every passing day Renae enjoyed her job more and more.


As an Assistant Nurse she now got to preform low risk surgeries on her own. It felt so good to help someone that wouldn't feel better without her.


Renae couldn't believe when she got home at four in the afternoon that Xavier was sitting on the couch in his boxers.


"What in the hell did you do all day! I can't believe that I have been at work busting my ass and you are home sitting on yours!"

"I decided to take the day off today Renae, relax."

"A day off?! A day off from what! What do you do that you need a day off? I am seriously getting sick of this Xavier. You need to step it up. I can't do everything and if I continue doing everything on my own then I might as well be on my own."


When Renae headed upstairs she saw that Jin was standing there looking upset. She though both the kids were outside playing. Jin asked her what she meant about being on her own. Renae hugged him and reassured him that she was just upset and didn't mean it. She loved him and his sister with all her heart and would never leave them.

"You love daddy too, right?"

"Of course I do Jin but it's different than how a mommy loves her kids."


Renae and Jin headed back downstairs to sit with Poppy whom had come in from outside to watch some TV. 


Renae headed upstairs to shower and get dinner started while the kids worked on their homework.


After dinner was done and the kids were in bed Renae headed to bed too.
Xavier never came to bed that night.


Xavier spent the whole night in his office. He worked until morning to finish up his second game and sent off to the producer. He got an email back saying that it was a huge improvement over the first one and would generate around $120 a day in revenue. 


Xavier was a little happy about the news but knew that it wasn't enough to support his family. He would have to start finding other ways of putting his skills to use. 

He headed outside to play some ball and clear his head. 
He was determined to show Renae he could do better. 


It was birthday time for Jin. 
Unlike last time, Jin was excited to finally be a teen.
He went around to everyone at the party telling them.


Happy Birthday little man!


He is a good mix of mom and dad.


Jin sat and chatted with Poppy about what it was like to be a teen in the five minutes he has been one. Then they ate some cake and visited with the other guests. 


Unfortunately the other little kids at his party were outside making a huge mess. Jin ended his party by going out and cleaning up after them. 





I hope you enjoyed.
