Chapter 99

Balancing!

Returning to the office after having to be home for a long time was crazy for them.

Daycare was never a suggestion for Isabella as she told Tommy she would prefer to stay home and take care of Kate but then again just being home for the last five months was a struggle for her as she wanted to have her body back, her daily routines back and she was to giving kudos to all housewives who stayed home taking care of their husband and the children.

She couldn't hold it in anymore because she was sure she would explode someday if she continues to stay a home mom.

Her hair was not washed properly, and she hardly took her bath on time and don't even start on food but she was happy she had an understanding husband.

Daycare was not an option especially now that the baby could not walk or talk and express herself if she was in distress or not and with the underlying stories of Nannies or daycare personnel not being able to take care of babies when given to them scared Isabella so she had to talk with her hoss about bringing her baby to the office will they found an alternative for where they could drop her off.

She was also scared of her child being neglected and not given the proper amount of care and attention she deserved or hurt because she wasn't around.

She didn't want to come home to find that the baby's diaper was not changed it would frustrate her when she came to the house to find that the baby was not properly taken care of so she explained her fears and then she went to her boss and explained to him and he understood with her.

Isabella was one of the pioneer founders of their fragrance company and she the brains behind their formulation so she spoke with him and he accepted she could bring Baby Kate to the office while she found an alternative to where she would keep her baby during the peak period of their companies work which was always the festive period.

After she went for a break and returned another mom employee decided to scare her more like why would someone find that she was scared of leaving her baby alone with daycare practitioners and come to tell her the disadvantages and not the advantage of a daycare center?

This woman took her time to school her saying she would have to be ready to see her daughter come home with bites from friends who most probably had bitten her while they played at the daycare center.

This just made her strike it out but after talking with Tommy he told her it was okay for them to find different daycare centers and not just go to the ones with a bad review and he also said they were going to have to write down a contract with the center so that she would be able to know she was under the law and would joy neglect their baby and this way they would be sure she had everything under control even though she wasn't still convinced about it but she was happy he validated her fears and was okay to try new alternatives before they could boil down to the daycares in their areas for special baby care.

Motherhood was a process she thought as she went upstairs to have their parking daughter her evening bathe and feed her prove like let her feed herself she was trying to make sure her baby was independent with the things she was teaching her and not to be decedent on persons but also be able to ask for help when it gets tough.

After she gave her a bath and food she and Tommy came into the room to read her favorite bedtime story and tuck her into bed so she could have sweet melodious sleep.

Everyone was having to balance this new lifestyle of theirs as instead of sleeping they had to work sometimes overnight and this was one of those nights when they had brought work home and they had to deal with it before going to sleep.

Tommy had a plan of establishing better and then suggesting to his wife to become a partner in the company so she would stop working under anyone else and they would have a company of their own even Micheal had pitched the idea to his wife it was going to be a company of four friends who wanted to work together so Tommy was engrossed in the blueprint of the work so that it would he finally for building by the end of the year.

Tommy looked to his wife who was yawning profusely and suggested she went to bed because she had been exhausted from work and looking for daycare centers for Kate and also having to cook and all but he had begged her to take in a maid but Isabella being the stubborn woman she was firm in her decision of not giving in for a maid to take over her home.

But she was having a rethink though because the entire time she was stressed and she had eyebags under her eyes but then again she had to work to support her husband and it wasn't as though he was complaining of the expenses but she didn't want to be a burden to him.

He knew she was his runner up and he would always choose her as he gave her a good night kids and went to bed cuddling her.

But his thoughts were all over the place as he thought of how many times life had given him lemonade and he had used it to make beautiful lemons out of it.

Isabella was the girl of his dreams and he adored her and those beady eyes of their cute baby were all that kept him pushing to be a better person.

Tommy's POV

Sometimes life knocks you down. Whether you've failed to land your dream job, achieve a fitness goal, or tackle every item on your never-ending to-do list, getting a relationship where the love and efforts are mutual It's important to understand that setbacks and challenges are a normal part of life.

Looking at my beautiful wife I could tell that I had maneuvered through his setbacks correctly.

I was happy I had not used my heartbreaking betrayal from Vanessa and others to the point where I got to lose the most understanding and beautiful woman who had stood by me even when our relationship seemed to be taboo for everyone.

I don't know how she did it but she was firm with the way she stood by me and the way she handled every bit of it even when I had wanted to take the entire blame for our frolicking around in the closets

We both know, that sometimes stress is unavoidable and it can take a toll on your body. That’s why it’s important to cultivate joy in your life, so you can push through hard times and look toward better days.

Feeling unmotivated and uninspired can deplete your life of happiness and meaning.

And all those times when I had my mood swings yet she was there with me trying her best to be the best support I could ever ask for success was no accident and it was certain that we would be like this till the very last days of our breath because I knew for a fact that our journey together had just begun.

Our success is No Accident.

We didn't wait for Opportunities, we created them because everyone needed a little push if not all the time at least sometimes.

Whether you're starting on a new career path or need a burst of motivation I had to remind myself each day that to be successful I had to do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do which is putting in the time and working hard.

I remember the late nights, the times I had to come home and pick up my wife who was then my girlfr3idn from the couch of our old house to the bedroom because she had been waiting for me and had fallen asleep, I remember the numerous text messages which came from my dead ex-girlfriend who tried to break our bond but never succeeded

I don't wish it were easier, I wish you were better. The road to success and the road to failure are almost the same so I had to be very watchful.

There were two types of people who will tell me that I cannot make a difference in this world: those who were afraid to try and those who were scared I was going to succeed hence making it seem like I was a failure but thanks to the numerous support gotten from my mom and wife and best friend I can now boast of a growing company and hoping for a merger one of these days.

I didn't let the fear of losing greater things stop me from dreaming big

my night's success took a long but it was worth it and somewhere waking the line I feel an in-depth need to tell Vanessa thanks for having to push my potential out by having to go date Tristan and marry him and make me feel like I was missing out in the wealth and joy of everything and here we are I have a house, a wife a daughter and a happy family with a growing company and best of friends to stand by me all the time if I needed them around me.

Nobody prepared me for this but made it anyway.

Turning to lol at my wife now damn I had a huge boner and I had to make sure I woke her up gently so I began kissing her neck and slowly travels with my tongue to her jawline and landed on her lips before sending my hands into her pajamas and playing with her nipple.

"Babe why aren't you sleeping"?", was what she asked me, and then she adjusted her body in a strategic position when I could plunge myself in and we had sex as she moaned softly half awake and half asleep it sounded like a melody to me.

" Now you can sleep I have given you a sedative ", I slowly whispered into her ears before I took a towel and cleaned my cum if her body and bed and came back to hold her even tighter how did I get this lucky was the question which resounded over and over in my head.

It was like music in my head and then sleep took me away as I drifted off to the land of many beautiful dreams.
