It has been twelve years. Aubrey is now 16 about to be 17. Aiden just turned fifteen and the twins just turned 14. Austin and Ally are 32 about to be 33...
I sit down at the table taking a minute to relax. Austin and I just had our twelve year wedding anniversary a few months ago. It has been twelve years of bliss. Austin and I married is so much better than we were dating or engaged. We don't fight nowhere near as much as we did. Austin has a great job he actually ended up leaving Jimmy about two or three years into our marriage and created his own label. He is one of the hottest producers and is doing an great job. He is so happy he still writes music and is in the music business. Austin only went on a small tour about six years ago as a reunion type thing. We all went with him because he would not leave his family behind. We had a blast and they wanted him to do another one but he said maybe in another ten years or something. He is the man I always knew he could be. He isn't always home when we have dinner but he is always there for breakfast and his phone is on at all types if anyone needs him. We did have a tragedy four years ago. We were sleeping and it was around two in the morning when the phone started ringing. I answered and it was Mimi on the other line calling and crying her eyes out telling us Mike was rushed to the hospital and we should get there. I woke Austin up and when I told him what was happening he broke down. Aubrey woke up hearing the commotion and was scared having never seen Austin like that. They stayed home and Hanna came over. I rushed Austin to the hospital and he was able to say goodbye before Mike passed. Austin took it really hard and it was a long time and a lot of effort before he started to be himself again. I was there for him right through it all and the kids were there for him too. Austin does get upset around his dads birthday and the anniversary of his death and we all surround him and are just there for him.
Alex graduated medical school top of his class. He moved back about eight years ago. He is a big time heart surgeon who also works in the emergency room to help out. He is an amazing doctor and everyone at his hospital loves him. He does get some patients that remember who exactly he is and asks he to sing or sign pictures for them and he does. He had one girl who said she had the biggest crush on him when he sang and asked if he would take a picture with her. He did except at the last minute he kissed her cheek and he said he thought she was going to faint. When he has younger patients who are scared or just need a pick me up he sings and dances to or with them. Everyone loves him at the hospital. He met his girlfriend Lisa in medical school while she was in law school at the same time and they both moved back here to live. She is amazing and so nice. She is the ADA and works a lot but so does Alex so it works perfect. She is a very pretty blonde haired women who is the sweetest person I ever met unless you are in her courtroom where she is a shark and will tear you to pieces. They are both the youngest people to hit the marks in their careers that they have. Alex is so happy with her and it makes me happy seeing him happy. They both come over about once a month to hang with the kids and just catch up.
Dez and Trish believe it or not got married. They got married seven years ago and have an adorable little six year old girl named Rebecca who I just adore. Trish is a professional stylist and on occasion an assistant to the big timers. Dez ended up becoming a director. He is not as big as he wanted to be but people know his name and he does shot a lot of movies that end up in theaters now-a-days. They live only a little away from us. Trish is almost always here Rebecca when she can get the chance. She complains she hates to be home alone. She is thinking about hiring someone like Hanna to help her and keep her company. We have been searching for people for her.
Gavin and Ashley got married three years ago and just had a baby. They are adorable together and we all became really close. They live about five minutes away from us and try to come by when they can.
My dad married Kim and they have been so happy. They stop by a lot since we moved back to the original house I bought. Mimi is living in her house still because she refused for us to help her find another house or for her to move in with us. She said she lived in that house for years and she will die in that house. Austin got upset but there is no reasoning with Mimi and he knows that.
We sold the house we had while in college. Some new freshmen college students bought it and it worked out for everyone. We expanded onto this house. We have the twin's bedroom past the music rooms and guest bedroom. We added another bathroom on the bottom layer and three more guest rooms but all the kids took one making it their gaming and play room. We expanded upstairs as well adding another room up there and our room got bigger. We also have a bigger balcony that the kids can get to now without having to go through our room to get to one. We also put another bathroom in upstairs.
Onto the kids, Aubrey is well Aubrey is Austin basically. She loves music, loves to sing and dance and is very good at it. She has thought about going into the music business very seriously. She is the trouble maker though. First child and she is daddy's little princess and knows she can basically get away with murder. Aiden is basically me. He loves music and is a great singer but doesn't like to show it. He likes school and does very well. He has thought about becoming a lawyer or a doctor. Adam is the shy one of the twins. He gets pulled into everything. He is so sweet and looks just like Austin, it is crazy. All of my kids look like Austin pretty much. Adam is allergic to peanuts we found that out the hard way. When he was five Hanna gave him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it was to the emergency room we went. He has a pretty bad case of it. He has had a few incidents but not many. Aubrey loves Adam. We showed all the kids how to do the injection and when he had his first attack after the hospital Aubrey ran into the kitchen grabbed his pen and ran back to him. I ran in seeing her grab the pen and saw her holding him in her lab as she injected him and rubbed his hair. I still had to take him to the hospital but she is always the one there for him. She is the same way with Aiden. Adam loves to sing and dance as well. Dancing is not his strong point like me but he is so much better than me at it. He can sing amazingly though. He is good in school and knows how to have fun and let loose something I and Aiden didn't and don't know how to do. Asher is the trouble maker of the twins. He is always pulling Adam into something and messing around in school. He still tries to play everything on Adam when he gets caught. He is very smart and loves music. He sings and dances everywhere and like all of my kids is a very good singer. He gets his moves from Austin like Aubrey did too. He goofs off a lot but he does get serious we he needs to. He is the little Austin.
My four crazy kids but I do love them. Oh about me you ask, well I am a middle school math teacherwho helps out the music class. I still write music and I give it to a lot of artist. A lot of my songs are on the radio all the time but not writing for Austin just makes it all less personal and I don't do it much. Having my kids changed my dreams and goals, I no longer wanted to be a famous singer/ songwriter, which I am anyway but I just wanted to be a good mother and be there. The only dreams I wanted after that was to help my children follow theirs because I already had everything I could of ever wanted. Oh I knew I was forgetting some when I mentioned my kids. I actually have five. Aaron is eleven is amazing. He is the perfect mixture of Austin and I at the moment. He was a result of our honeymoon but loved all the same. He loves to sing and is good at it. He makes friend super quick and is outgoing and fun but is also really smart, loyal and funny and can't dance very well. He is in middle school and is loving it up. I have him in my class and he loves to point out that I am his mom. He gushes over how much I love him and how pretty I am and who I exactly am. He loves bringing his dad's name up because let's face it even though Austin is the famous Austin Moon pop star which a lot of people still know him as he the very famous Austin Moon producer. He is just like his dad and crazy but I love him and all of my kids. Oh, did I mention I am pregnant again at the moment. Yep, three months and no one knows. This is the last one I am done after this no more. I was done after the twins and Aaron surprised us but I love him and just never got around to getting my tubes fixed and well after eleven years surprise again but this little peanut is the last one. Austin or anyone else doesn't even know about this little peanut yet. I have to tell him before he finds out some other way but I just don't know how.
I hear the ciaos start that is my children and smile to myself before getting up and grabbing the cereal and milk and placing it on the table. I walk to the cabinets and grab bowls and set them on the table as well. I walk to the fridge and I grab the juice just as the ciaos starts over the showers. I have five bathrooms in this house not including Austin's and mine and it still isn't enough for them. I shake my head as I place the juice on the table and sit down with my coffee as I let the noise, fighting and arguing begin that is my children and that starts my morning every morning.
