Chapter 8

Tristen has left and my home and surrounded area is safe and spelled. I sound crazy just even thinking that stuff. Who would have thought that any of this stuff is actually real? Not me. I know if I told anyone all of this, they'd have me committed.

Trenton comes in as I am fixing our supper. The kids rush to see him with smiles and laughter. He glances my way and walks to the dinning room.

I feel really guilty. I feel like I've cheated on him. I mean, I know I didn't but everything that's happened is a lot and it feels wrong.

"How was your day" I ask as I'm setting the plates down on the table.

"You know, another day another dollar. It was okay. Messages an old friend." He says then looks confused/nervous

That's weird.

"Oh, that's good." I say and sit to eat

I'm starving. I made chicken Alfredo for supper and it is amazing if I say so myself. It's normally a big hit with the family when I make it.

"Good job, Mama!" Trish says while rubbing her belly saying yummy

"Thank you, my baby! You're so kind. I'm glad you like it. I know it's one of your favorites."  I say and smile really big.

I made my babies happy with supper tonight. We start our nightly routine once we're done with supper and I've clean up after.

I get our Trish tucked in and fiber night lives and go to our room with Lizzie and Mia. Once we're ready, I tuck Lizzie in her daddies spot and get Mia to nurse her. Lizzie had recently stopped nursing altogether. I'm not upset about it but it just happened without much effort.

Trenton comes to join us and he hasn't said much to me all evening. I wonder if he's upset? Maybe just a long day at work.

"Are you okay?" I ask Trenton

"Me? Yeah, I'm fine. Just nervous... I mean, had a long day at work. I just really want to go to bed. Goodnight." He says and gets in bed by Lizzie.

Once they are all asleep I try to drift off but the way Trenton is behaving has me in my feelings. Maybe I'm just being paranoid because I have a secret from him. Or maybe he's being unfaithful again. No, he wouldn't risk losing his family. Maybe I should have asked him what friend he was talking to?

I'm overreacting because I feel guilty. That's got to be it.

I make sure everyone is asleep still and I join them.

I see Tristen, he's leaned up against a tree smiling.

"Long time no see" he says while smiling

"Why did you bring me in the dream realm? Is something wrong?" I ask

"No, nothing is wrong. We still haven't heard back from our spies we have in Vexile. But that good go either way, good or bad. I just wanted to make sure you were still okay." He says

"Yes, we're okay. Other than me feeling extremely guilty and reading way too much into my husbands behavior." I say

Why the hell did I tell him that? It's not his business and I'm sounding crazier than I already feel.

"We'll, sometimes men behave funny but it has nothing to do with anything. Maybe he just had a rough day at work." He says

Wait? Is he on Trenton's side? I need to change the subject before I get mad.

"Okay. Yes, we're all okay." I say as calmly as I can

"Okay, alright" he says holding his hands up in surrender

"I'm sorry, I'm just stressed. This is so much and I can't talk to anyone about it without someone thing I'm nuts and trying to have me committed." I say with a nervous chuckle at the end

"Well, I'll let you get back to sleep then. But I will see you around the same time tomorrow." He says

All of a sudden I'm back in my bed.

What the fuck did he mean "see you around the same time tomorrow" ? That makes no sense. Why would he come back to my plain? Much less my home that I share with my husband and children?

Fuck.

I need to get some sleep. I close my eyes and ask the sandman to be generous.
