The two
adults awoke and came together to kiss each other, only to look down
at what was in the way. Their youngest child. She lay asleep between
them, her blonde curls covered half he face as she lay there
peacefully.
They smiled and was just about to go in for a kiss
when there was a knock at the door. They looked at linked eyes and
the one asleep awoke. Rubbing her eyes she heard knock and shouted
out "come in".
The door opened to reveal the second
youngest Camden. "Hi" she said going over towards the bed in her
spotted pajamas.
Her brown curly hair bounced as she climbed onto
the bed and sat next to the mother. She looked between the three and
asked "what we doing?" Before they could answer the door went
again and Ruthie the one who came into the bedroom said "come
in!"
A blonde haired boy entered and smiled followed by two
brown haired girls who all sat onto the bed.
The oldest son
entered and looked around all of the family. "guys…..it's
Saturday, mom and dads day of rest…..lay in"
The children all
exchanged a look and the two oldest girls ran off towards their room
laughing. Simon jumped down followed by his little sister Ruthie who
waved bye to her parents.
Matt smiled and went over to pick up his
youngest sister who cuddled into him. Her pink frilly pajamas stood
out against his black clothing. He carried her out the bedroom and
left the two adults.
All the children looked out the front
window and came bounding down the stairs.
They then lined up by
their parents.
Eric opened the door and let the woman in. Hugging
and smiling they exchanged hellos. Her attention went to Annie and
then to the children. Eric looked at her and then to the children.
"Matt…."
Matt stood up. "Hi, I'm Matt…..I'm 16"
he said holding out his hand to shake the womans.
Mary smiled and
followed Matt's example.
"I'm Mary and I'm 14" she said.
This was followed by "I'm Lucy and I'm 12"
Simon looked
and sighed "Simon I am and I'm 9" He held an action man in his
hand. Ruthie piped up "I'm Ruthie……I'm big number 5" She
smiled a toothy grin, and looked down at her youngest sister.
The
little blonde haired girl ran over to her father and threw her arms
around him, and snuggled her face into his body, shyly.
Eric
picked her up and she laid her head into his shoulder, her arms
around his neck.
Annie rubbed the child's back and smiled
"she's Ellie and 3 years old" she smiled and tried to explain
to the little girl about who the woman was.
