James looked at her. "no it not. I mean mom's always here for me. Plus Dad breaks all the promises he makes."

James then sat his bowl down and with his back turned said "Your only saying that because it won't matter to you. Your in school and will only be home for holidays."

"Kids Dinners almost ready." Sarah shouted thinking that they were up with Annabelle.

*Alexandra swallowed.* Ok mom we'll be right in! *She responded to her mother's voice that sounded the same, but different all the same without dad around to reply.* Whether or not I'm at school makes no difference. This will affect me just as much as you so don't even say that it won't matter to me.

Sarah smiled at this she was going to talk to her kids about this over dinner so she went back to seeting the plates and getting the food and drinks on table.

"fine we better go get Annabelle though." James said standing up and walking up the stairs.

*Alexandra nodded slowly and followed him grimly up the stairs.*

James walked into Annabelle's room and over to her bed. "Annabelle wake up. I mean it is time for supper."

Sarah was siting at her seat drinking some water waiting for her kids to come down the stairs and in here. They were having rolls, mashed potatos, mac & cheese, and last chicken strips. Then they had milk, grape juice, and water to drink.

*How am I going to tell them that their dad might not come back.* She thought to herself.

*Alexandra picked up Annabelle and smiled to her.* hungry you Cutie pie? *She looked at James.* You hungry? I am! *She walked down the stairs with Annabelle in her arms and into the kitchen.* Hey mom. *She said placing Annabelle into her high chair.*

Sarah looked at her. "Hi there kids we really need to talk."

"Is this about dad." James asked.

"Well Baby yes. I wanted to tell you that me and your dad is not going to be living here for the week maybe longer. We had a fight and we don't know really if we can mend it." Sarah then stopped trying to think of what to say next.

*Alexandra swallowed and walked over to her mother, placing her hands [encouragingly but in a way that showed the daughterly tenderness that she had for her mother] on her shoulders.* We both have talked about it mum, we understand...

Shara2007 · January 13, 2008, 12:50:11 PM

Sarah looked at her kids. "I know you understand but this has been going on since well ALex you were a baby."

She then took a sip of her water. "We have try are hardest to stay together only for ya. This time I don't know if it will work."

James got up and walked over and hugged his mom. "It okay I mean I will still love ya if it don't."

Sarah smiled knowing this was hurting her son inside. "How about we eat."

ChoChangHP118 · January 13, 2008, 12:59:05 PM

*Alexandra smiled, acting as though she was excited about the food.* Sounds like a great idea! I'm so happy i could eat Annabelle if i'm not careful. *She laughed lightly and sat down next to her mother smiling and looking at her family.*

Shara2007 · January 13, 2008, 01:04:04 PM

Sarah smiled. "Now I could not let you do a thing like that so I will give you a great dessert."

Sarah had made on of her famous muggle pecan pies.

"Ya dessert" James siad trying not to think about any thing.

ChoChangHP118 · February 1, 2008, 10:13:40 AM

Mhhhm sounds great! *Alexandra said standing to go help her mother.*

Shara2007 · February 1, 2008, 10:16:20 AM

Sarah looked at her daughter.

"Promise me something. Promise if this don't work out you wull look after your brothers, sisters, and father."

ChoChangHP118 · February 1, 2008, 10:27:20 AM

*Alexandra got tears in her eyes watching her mother say this to her. She smiled affectionatly and hugged her mom just to be able to feel someone else hurting more then she was.* I promise. *She stood for a moment just feeling her mothers warmth, not wanting to let go. She let a tear fall down Sarah's back.*

Shara2007 · February 1, 2008, 10:31:54 AM

"Baby don't cry it will make me cry." Sarah held her daughter though.

"I mean I hate to say this to you but we have been fighting the whole marriage. I want to work it out so bad. I don't know how or if we can though." Sarah then looked into her daughters eyes.

"I will promise to try my hardest now lets get these little ones some dessert."
