(List of people who have had a significant change in the gap of time, I didn't forget Kevin.)
"Nolan Robert McCallister put that cookie down now and no one will get hurt" Kitty McCallister said seeing her son trying to steal a gingerbread cookie from the cooling rack. The boy dropped the cookie ad turned around. "Sorry, mommy. I'm hungwy" Nolan answered her before running out of the room.
It was a week before Christmas and everything in the house was buzzing with activity. Kitty had actually been able to bake without burning anything. Which had been quite a feat especially for Kitty.
It's been 2 weeks since Kitty & Robert celebrated their sixth year wedding anniversary and things couldn't be going better. They have 3 beautiful children together. First there is Nolan Robert who is 5 and followed a year and a week later by the twins, Sierra Jane and Kenzie Ann. Everything seemed perfect, she wouldn't trade anything for world. Robert had dropped out of the presidential race after finding she was pregnant. He decided starting a family with was more important to him right now. He did run for senate again and got reelected.
Kitty took a bowl out from the cupboard and a bag of icing sugar. She hated the sugary homemade icing but the kids loved it. She'd do anything for her children and that included sugary icing and spending hours just playing outside with them. She never knew that being a mother would fit her so well. The last thing she thought she'd be was a stay at home mom. Or at least that's what she decided to do until the kids were all at school during the day.
All of a sudden the front door opened and pitter-patters of small feet could be heard running towards the door. "Daddy!" The girls said in unison. Kitty smiled as she finished preparing the icing and added color. Now that Robert was home they could decorate the cookies. The girls had insisted to wait for their father and Kitty had happily obliged.
An arm wrapped around her waist as Robert planted a soft kiss on her cheek. "How was your day?" Kitty asked smiling as she turned to face him. "Long, I basically got nothing done. I was stuck in traffic half the day" Robert mumbled rubbing his forehead and pouring himself a glass of water before putting the pitcher away.
"Where's Jack?" He asked watching her dump a bag of jellybeans into a bowl. "Upstairs, he's playing a game with Nolan" Kitty answered as she finished preparing everything. Jack had been staying with them fulltime since knowing the truth about his parents divorced. On the other hand, Sophia only came out when she was forced to. She never did warm up to Kitty.
"Kids, time to decorate the cookies" She yelled placing a few cookies on plates ready to be decorated. First in the kitchen were the twins. They were identical twins, both had light brown hair and crystal clear blue eyes. The oldest was Sierra followed closely by Kenzie just a minute and 16 seconds later.
Jack and Nolan came right after as Robert went up the stairs to change. "Mommy, look what Jack tough me?" Nolan said proudly showing a paper airplane. "Oh, wow. Did you thank Jack?" She asked smiling at her son before ruffling his dark blond hair. "Yes, mommy"
"Kenzie, don't put too much icing. You only need a small dot to place the candy" Kitty said with a smile watching her children. "Otay mommy" Kenzie answered going back to decorating her gingerbread.
A few hours later after they ate supper and bedtime stories were read, Kitty and Robert were in the living room wrapping Christmas presents. "So, Sophia should be landing at 4 on Christmas Eve, afterwards we can drive straight to your mothers" Robert told her as she put the tape down. "You sure it's a good idea to bring her to a Walker family dinner?" Kitty asked remembering how her last visit ended. "She promised that it should be fine, I'm sure Paige and her can find something to talk about" Robert answered as they finished wrapping the last gift.
Kitty stood up yawning. "I think I'm going to bed" She said with a yawn unplugging the lights to the Christmas tree. "I'll follow" Robert said as they walked to their bedroom. "I love you Kitty" Robert said kissing her as she got under the covers. "Love you too" She said with a smile before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Her life had never been so perfect
(This is the first chapter, it's more an introduction to all the change. I really don't like how it turned out but it had to be done. Next up Sarah and her family)
