Divorced but not broken!

First Fight!

At Lisa's house

Lisa and Jack, both are enjoying their morning breakfast. Lisa made sausages and Avocado toast, and Jack unable to resist them, munched on it again at 9 o'clock.

They both played some video games. Matt played with Jack in the swimming pool and later carried on with his work at his home office.

Lisa and Jack watched an action movie till noon and then had their lunch, chicken fried rice, and spaghetti meatballs. Jack took a nap for an hour, meanwhile, Lisa and Matt also took a break from their work.

Ivy was so engrossed with her work, by the time she realized it was already 3 in the afternoon. She quickly called Jack, to see what he was doing.

Jack and Lisa are binge-watching the cartoon programs again, while Matt is busy with his office work. Lisa and Matt, took a break especially to spend time with Jack, as they are missing a child in their married life. They couldn't express their wish to Ivy, so, they mentioned it as casual leave. Unexpectedly, Matt was met with an important meeting, he couldn't avoid.

Lisa showed all her child cartoon shows to Jack which she used to watch with Ivy and she mentioned some of her favorites, The Cinderella, The Princess and Frog. Even though Jack felt all girly things to him, he still watched them, as they were his mom's favorite.

When it was over the screen time, Lisa took Jack to the play area down the apartment after leaving a message to Matt about their whereabouts. Kids were playing in the community which is a special area for them only. Lisa took over Jack there and introduced a few friends, who were the children of her community. Lisa knows their mother who she met on a few occasions, who is quite friendly and innocent.

They became friends very quickly and played slide, monkey bar, sea-saw, and merry-go. Jack is enjoying more with his new friends, so Lisa took some pictures and videos and sent them to Ivy.

After a few minutes, Ivy sent lovely emojis and said, I have selected a school from the list of schools suggested by Matt. I've called them and they have given me an appointment tomorrow morning.

That's great! I'll accompany you, said Lisa.

You are the best, you know me well, said Ivy.

After keeping her phone aside, Ivy was engrossed with her work till 5 p.m. Just at that moment Robin came and asked her if she was interested in having a cup of coffee with him. As Ivy was about to say, yes, she received a call from Lisa.

Hey Lisa!

You have to come back home right away, Jack is injured!

I'm coming.

Robin, maybe some other time. I need to be at home soon, Lisa called me.

No problem. Is everything okay? Shall I drop you?

No, I have a car. We can go for the coffee another time. Bye

Bye, Ivy. Drive safe. Robin is looking at her as if she is going far, he thinks he missed her all these years, and why he hesitated to express his feelings.

Ivy, I will win you soon, Robin thought to himself and left from there.

By the time Ivy, reached home, Jack was with a bandage at the elbow and his eyes were red. Seeing her Mom, Jack immediately went to his mother and hugged her legs, silently weeping.

Don't be scared honey, mama is here. Tell me what happened honey?

Mom, May and Lily are playing with me and Jacob suddenly pushes May and Lily. I tried to stop him but he didn't listen to me and he pushed me as well. I got angry and I pushed him back. Jacob pushed me again and fell from the slider, then I got this injury on my elbow.

Didn't you tell Aunt Lisa, when he first time pushed you or your friends?

No!

Why?

Jack fell silent.

No matter what happens, if you see anyone fighting or anything happening around you, you have to say the elder nearby you which is me, Aunt Lisa, or Uncle Matt, if you went with him.

Got it?

Yes, Jack said.

Good. Now, don't worry honey, I am here and your pain will gone soon. Have you eaten anything? Yes, Aunt Lisa has given me my favorite snacks and ice cream.

That's great then! Have some rest now. I made Jack lay on the bed to take a rest for some time and I woke you up during dinner time.

After switching off the light, I went to the hall, where Lisa was waiting, looking very tense about the situation.

Hey, Lisa! Why are you looking so tense?

Why would I not be? While I was texting you through the phone suddenly, I heard Jack scream. When I looked over there, I saw Jack fall down the slide and he got a little scratch on his elbow. I was scared out of my wits, you know.

Thank God, it is not a big injury. Matt also got mad at me and scolded me for being careless.

I am sorry for leaving Jack with you. You both got a little dispute because of this. Listen it happens, the kids, they fight and again they mingle. It was not like a big thing until it was extreme to the point of unstoppable. I will speak with his parents, everything will be sorted, and they will play again.

Perhaps Jack got scared because it was the first fight. Because earlier, kids liked to play with Jack more and never fought with him.

Don't worry, he will be fine. And I know what you are worried about. You will be a great Mom for sure for your babies in the future. Don't ever doubt your self okay?

Lisa got emotional and hugged Ivy. You know, Matt and I miss being parents. I don't what's wrong but it is not working. Thanks for understanding me.

I've already told you, never put the topic of kids in the brain while having s*x, it will only keep pressure and burden, which will get a failed result of 90% and also disappointment. Lisa nodded.

Okay, let's put it aside. Tomorrow we have to go to the new school and make admission for Jack in Pre-KG. You will come with me, right?

Of course, I will come and we can go by 7:30.

Sure, thank you!

Don't be formal with me! Lisa snapped Ivy's head.

Alright, I need to prepare the dinner. Now, go and look for Matt, I think he is angry and also worried about the child

I know, I know, even I was worried and I would do the same if I were in his place.

Lisa, went back to her penthouse, and Ivy started cleaning up the house and made dinner with Jack's favorite spaghetti meatballs.

After completing miscellaneous tasks, Ivy went to Jack, and then they enjoyed the dinner. After dinner, they both played in the playroom. Ivy informed me that tomorrow we are going to School to get him admission.

Are you ready dear?

Yeah, Mom! Yes, I am very much excited for School. Jacob said he joined his new school where both his parents came for an interview. May and Lilly also said the same.

And the next question from Jack, Ivy caught off-guarded.

Will Dad also come for my new school admission?

I wish I could tell you the truth dear. But he won't, because he doesn't love your Mom and he is the reason, I lost both my parents. I don't want you to hate him, that's why I couldn't reason out all this. If he is ready to accept you, then you will be the most happy boy. I'm just betting on it and I will take you to him one day.
