Chapter 5

Wednesdays and Fridays Lana only worked half days as she worked Saturdays, but this Friday Lana was working a full day to make up for having Saturday off so she could go to Chad’s game. Olivia was happy that she was spending the day with her and Chad’s family. She was so excited to see her daddy at work. Lana still had to pay the weekend care group as she hadn’t given them the two weeks’ notice they required, but Chad had paid, arguing with her that Olivia was his child and he should be paying her child maintenance. Lana had stopped arguing and let Chad pay. After all, she was going to his Rugby League game.

Lana thought she could do both as she only worked until midday on Saturday but Steph had told her that game days they had a routine. The family started at their parents’ house, getting ready together before they went in three cars to the game. Lana had pointed out that she didn’t feel right intruding on a ritual when Chad wouldn’t even be there as he would be at the ground early getting ready with his team. But Steph wouldn’t take no for an answer and Ann, her boss, didn’t mind as they had nothing booked.

Her shift had just finished and Ann was packing up and told Lana to leave and have a wonderful weekend. Getting into her car, she drove the five minutes to Olivia’s daycare and picked her up and then drove the ten minutes to her house and parked in her driveway. She got out of the car and gathered a sleeping Olivia in her arms and jiggled her around as she let herself into her house just as the phone rang. Rushing to it, she leaned down, careful of Olivia, and pressed speaker. “Hello.”

“Oh, you’re alive.”

Lana rolled her eyes at her mother’s dramatic comment. “Hi, Mum.”

“Lana, I’ve been calling you for the last couple of days. You never pick up your phone. Is everything all right? Olivia okay? Is there a reason you’re not calling me back, or has it got to do with you seeing someone?”

Groaning, Lana mumbled, “Give me a minute, Mum. I just need to put Olivia in her bed. I’ll be right back.”

“Fine, but be prepared to talk.”

She walked down the hallway to Olivia’s room and gently placed her in bed before she went back and picked up the phone and went to her room. She toed off her high heels on a groan. “Mum, can I call you back? I just got home from work, and I’m dying for a shower.”

“I’ll call you back in fifteen, honey. I got a good phone deal so I could talk to you and my grandbaby. I’ll make myself a coffee and a sandwich.”

“Thanks.” She hung up and quickly got undressed and in the shower.

She washed her hair and basked in the feeling of the hot water rushing over her exhausted body. When she was done she got out and dressed in baggy, comfortable clothes.
