I woke up with the sun glaring at me through the window. I groaned seeing my alarm clock saying 8:03 A.M

I got up from my bed and head to the bathroom knowing neither of my siblings have woken up. I'm always the first one on getting ready.

After getting ready I walked down the stairs. I see mom on the kitchen and smiled a small smile

Our dad is always working and that left mom raising us alone.

"Lexi. Hey sweetheart" mom called out to me. I refrained myself of rolling my eyes, I didn't like the nickname my family got for me. I liked it better Alex or Lexa but not Lexi. In that case I preferred to be called by my full name, Alexia

"Hey, mom. Are you sure we need someone else here with us ?" I asked annoyed. Our dad works to the government as a security expert or so. On one of his trips had been kidnapped. The government had told us not to worry but after a few days he was found dead. Since then I swore myself to not trust the government because of their lies

"Hey, sweetie. You know it's necessary but don't worry. Me, you and the others would be fine. We have Helga and I told you we weren't going to be alone" she wrapped her arms around me in a hug and I returned it slightly rolling my eyes knowing that the 'We aren't going to be alone' is a Lieutenant assigned to be like a babysitter for us

"We don't need anyone to look after us but you and Helga, mom" I tell her annoyed. Mom shot me a look.

"You all do. Remember the breaking in a week ago? Please, sweetie trust me on this one"

I rolled my eyes but I kept my mouth shut, I didn't like to get angry at mom but I couldn't help but be. I took a deep breath as my instructor told me so counting till ten in mind

"Fine. But don't expect me to be all sunshine and rainbows with him" I crossed my arms. She sighed but nodded. Mom had always struggled with me. Some days I was easily to deal with and other days like today no one could handle me but mom had always been patient with me, that's why this worked so perfectly along with my classes

"As long as you don't give him too much problems" she chuckled making me smile evilly. She shook her head at my reaction. "Tyler is with Helga and Peter is upstairs"

"I'm gonna wake Lulu up. I'm not nearing Seth's room in a million of years and Zoe will wake up on her own in at least 10 minutes" I told her walking up to the stairs. I heard her chuckle as I walked past Helga with Tyler in her arms. I cooed at Tyler pinching lightly his cheek and smiled at Helga "Morning" I greeted her with a smile walking past her

I walked into Lulu's room without knocking and jumped down in her bed "Raise and shine, little girl!" I exclaimed at my little sister's ear with a giggle, Lulu screamed and I quickly stepped out of the way so I wouldn't get knocked down by her. I laughed at her appearance as I walked to her wardrobe "It's time to wake up darling" i told her taking out an outfit. She grumbled a greeting and walked to the bathroom. They knew to never argue with me in the mornings or when I looked to be in a good mood.

As soon as Lulu was ready, she walked down the stairs and I walked to Zoey's room. She was already drying her hair and texting on her phone, I smiled at her.

"You're in a good today, sis" she told me turning around in her chair, a bubble gum in her mouth. I rolled my eyes with a fake smile

"I promised mom I would behave today, so I'm all smiles for this morning"

Zoe chuckled and we both turned to the door when we heard a door slammed shut and Lulu screaming. I exchanged a look with my young sister and we both walked out of her room. We met Seth in the hallway to see him with a confused look too. We shrugged and moments later we heard mom shouting downstairs

"KIDSSSS!"

I chuckled shaking my head.

"Get your butts down here and say hello!"

I rolled my eyes sighing knowing exactly who we have to say hello. We walked down the stairs standing in the middle of them behind Lulu who is siting in the stairs. I leaned against the stairwell crossing my arms, Seth and Zoe behind me.

"You've already met Lulu. This is Peter, Zoe, Lexi and Seth" mom shot me a look when she said my name, I rolled my eyes slightly with a sarcastic smile. The bald man looked between us with a tense posture making me furrow my eyebrows at him in amusement "Kids. This is Lieutenant Shane Wolfe. He's the man who is going to be staying with us for a while"

"Hi" we greeted with such enthusiasm (Note sarcasm) except for Seth at the bald man standing next to mom.

"Hi" Shane nods sternly. I held back a chuckle. Mom looks around awkwardly for a few seconds before Helga walks in with Tyler in her arms

"And this is Helga and Tyler"

Shane nods at them and officially greets them making me almost laugh out loud

"Ma'am... Baby"

Tyler suddenly pukes on Helga while she talks to him with a baby making me laugh slightly as she walks away. Mom sighs and looks at us

"Kids, go finish your homework. And I'll be checking" Mom told us pointing at us warningly

I rolled my eyes and with my siblings climbed up the stairs. These days are gonna be interesting I'm sure of it.
