"Malik!" Amy called into the house to her eldest son.
"Yeah mum, just about ready to go" Malik soon appeared in the doorway slipping his shoes on quickly and getting out the door and to the car.
"Did you pass Zara on your way down?" Amy turned around to see her beautiful daughter standing with a little boy on her hip.
"I'm ready mum, so is Jamie" Amy smiled and picked Jamie up out of Zara's arms.
"That's good baby, why don't you hope in the car and we'll head over for the lunch" Amy locked the house up and put Jamie in his car seat before they were off driving to Farrah's house.
"Malik, I want you to promise me that you and Dylan won't get into trouble this time around" Malik rolled his eyes and nodded along.
"We'll try to be good mum, but I can't promise anything" Amy couldn't help but laugh, he was to much like his mama.
when they arrived Amy let them all out of the car and carried Jamie on her hip. The family lunch was sure to be a long one like all family events these past few years.
"Amy!" Amy turned quickly before being enveloped in a tight hug by Lauren.
"It's be way to long Lo, when are you going to come by for dinner?" Lauren smiled and stood back, taking Jamie from Amy's arms and holding him closely.
"Soon, we were planning on stopping by next weekend, now where are my other ratbags" Lauren looked around the living room for the Black haired boy and the bright blonde haired girl.
"I believe Malik is with Dylan already and Zara is cuddled up with Mum showing her the new book she got" Lauren smiled and spotted each of them.
"And where is my lovely sister in-law?" Amy smiled and pulled her phone out and showed Lauren the recent messages.
"You are nuts" Lauren smiled and handed back the phone. "Are you sure though?" Amy nodded and kissed Jamie's cheek making him squeal and squirm in Lauren's arms.
"How could I not be sure Lo" Lauren smiled and laughed to herself.
"You two are nuts, now I think I need to go have a stern word with my son" Lauren pointed across the room to Dylan and Malik edging way to close to the sweets table with a bag of their replacement sweets.
Lauren was quick and was beside them and soon had the bag in her head and two defeated looking boys beside her.
"Dylan we spoke about this before coming over, why don't you two go out the back and play hoop" Dylan and Malik were soon running outside and out of trouble.
"So did you hear back from the group?"
"Yeah Shane and Chad should be here in an hour or so, Karms and Liam left about 2 hours ago and should be hear any minute, Duke couldn't get time off from prep so his going to make up for it another time, and oliver said he will be here tonight for dinner with Karen and the twins" Lauren pulled her phone out of her pocket and scolled through her messages.
"Elizabeth is on some trip to Australia and Leila is visiting her parents for the weekend"
Amy nodded and looked back over the house and walked towards her mother.
"There's my baby girl, get over here and talk to me darling" Amy smiled and sat down next to Farrah and Zara who now climbed over Farrah to sit on Amy's lap.
"don't grown up anymore baby, I don't know what I would do without my snuggle bug" Farrah picked Jamie up from Amy's arms as Amy held Zara close to her.
"Where's mama?"
"She'll be here soon baby"
