Shane
“Son of a bitch,” I mumble as I get a look at the clock above the stove.
I’m running late, the latest I have this week. I can’t seem to get it
together, even when I should have enough time. “C’mon Rach,” I
speak softly to my daughter. No idea why I’m doing this, she can’t walk yet.
“Just have to get you packed up and then drop you off at grandmas. Dad’s
gonna be late again, and the Chief is gonna have his ass.”
Should I be cussing to my ten-month-old? Probably not, but she’s
basically the only person I’m talking to these days. Grabbing her bag and
my lunch, I hurry out the door, frazzled as I always am. Rushing, I get her
into her car seat, and slide into the driver’s seat. I sigh heavily as I turn the
SUV on and wait for a few minutes. This is going to be the only time I have
until I get off-shift later on tonight.
Backing out of the driveway, I turn left to go out of my subdivision.
Three months ago, before Rachel came into my life, I wouldn’t have paid
much attention to the drive, but now I’m watching every other car, truck,
and SUV around us.
Fifteen minutes later, I’m pulling up to my parents’ house, and hopping
out to get my daughter out of the backseat. My mom comes out to meet me
in the driveway. “Hi Rachel,” she reaches out for her granddaughter.
Rachel kicks her feet as she sees my mom, a huge smile on her face.
“Thanks for watching her.”
“You tell me thank you every single night that I watch her. She’s my
grandchild, you’re my son.”
She says it like that explains everything, but I know I’ve put her in a
hard spot, my dad too. Neither one of them have asked much when it comes
to Rachel, but I know that day is coming. “I love you and I appreciate you.”
“I know you do. You remember we’re going on vacation, right?”
It’s their annual three-month-long vacation, and I’m trying to figure out
what I’m going to do while they’re gone. Since they’ve retired, they spend
the fall traveling through-out parts of the country they’ve always wanted to
visit. “I know, I’m working to see what I can figure out. You’re leaving in a
week, right?”
“Yep.” She hedges. “We can put it off a few weeks if you need us to,
Shane.”
“No, no. Rachel is my responsibility.”
She tilts her head to the side. “She is, but you have to give yourself
some grace, you didn’t know about her.”
All of this is true, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m her dad. “I am,
like I said, I’m working on it. I hope to have a solution soon, so that you’re
not watching her every night, too. I know it’s messing with your sleep. You
and Dad should be in your primes, but you’re busy taking care of your
granddaughter.
