Putting two lives together

I know you always told me that it wouldn't be easy. Funny it's so easy between us. When it's just the two of us. The fact is that it's not just the two of us. We are affected by so many. I really don't know my place with everyone added on added in. Family and lover. How do those things stand together? Family is personal. There are ties that bind. For me I will always be the mother of my daughters. For you the father of your children. So where do we fit in to all of this? For me the easiest thing is to be open ask questions. For you I know you hate to talk about things if you don't have to. I think I want you to tell me how you want me to be. When you want my input and when you want me to be quiet. We have come to far to screw things up now. Truly it's Evan and the girls. Blair and Reed will probably on pass through our lives. Seemed a little odd sharing my car this weekend, but it's an easy thing to do. I'm sure it will feel weird to share my home. With each passing day, week, month I become more accustomed to the house being mine. Easy to think about sharing a bedroom with Collins. Love the idea of a regular roomie. Harder to think about adjusting a larger part of me and my space for children though I know their presence will only be brief. I want them to feel comfortable here. At home. Realize I need to help make their space theirs. Probably aren't any rule books or guidelines for this sort of thing. Probably wouldn't agree with half of whatever I found anyway.
