Chapter 53 Pass The Egg (Sky‘s POV) 

Anj and I were not the only ones with three kids, but theirs were of different ages, while our children have the same age. She even has to put name tags on the girls so teachers would not get confused in calling them. 

As the hosts explained, there will be games involving everyone and ones just mommy and daddy. If I did not come, I wondered who would be her partner? Would it be the guy who asked about me a while ago? He seemed to know Anj very well and looked at her like he was ready to fight, and I hate to admit, it made me feel jealous. 

We sat on the floor after the two tiring relay games we had as a team, which we did not win, but as the host began to tell the next game, the three girls widened their eyes as they listened. “Mommy, Daddy,” Leyanne stood up, pulling Anj, while the two pulled my hands to stand up, leading us to the middle, wanting us to join the game involving only the mom and dad. I could see Frank scanning the area but recording us; again, it was part of Dad‘s instruction. “This is going to be a messy but fun game, mommy and daddy,” The host chuckled as she announced that the game would be Pass the Egg.

I smiled when I saw Anj exhaling, smiling anxiously at her kids. “We will win this pumpkin!” I said, kissing her on her forehead, making the girls giggle. “Daddy, win for us!” I was sure it was Lyra Helene who shouted excitedly

The host told everyone the mechanics of the game while the teachers gave the eggs to the mommies. Facing each other, as Anj held the egg carefully in her hand, I stole a kiss on her lips, startling her. 

“You‘re making me nervous, Sky,” she whispered, blushing as she glanced at her daughters as she passed the egg to me. “Don’t make your daughters cry, Anj. We have to win this,” I teased her, doing one step backward as the host instructed. I gave the egg back to her, and I could feel how cold her hands were

I never thought how nuts this game was as my hands trembled, wanting to curse Joe, one of the dads I met, shouted from the bleacher. “Make sure to catch the egg, Anj!
