"Baby, did you pack your toothbrush?" I heard my wife shout at me from the bathroom. She was stressing a lot, but when is she not? Demi always is.
I just laughed and shook my head, this is the third time she asked me. I grabbed the list of things we need to do next to me and then walked over and grabbed her arm. "Again, yes my love." I whispered and then leaned over pecking her on the lips. "Look, I already marked it off. We just need to gather our essentials and then pick up the boys from school so they can get their things together."
"I'm sorry, Selena. I'm just worried." The brown haired girl sighed and then rubbed her eyes. I frowned and then wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Hey, babe, look at me." I said softly. "It's going to be okay. We're going to have a great time." I smiled and placed my hand on her cheek. "When do the Lovato's ever not got things? I know you. You always prove everyone wrong. So don't worry. You're a badass, always have been always will be. It's in your blood." I smirked.
Demi laughed and then ran her fingers in my hair, tugging it slightly. "I love you." She smirked back and kissed me before grabbing the list and then groaning, pulling away. "Do you have Marcys dog food?" She whined marching out, almost completely acting like none of that ever happened. Well, I tried.
After gathering all our things and putting them at the bottom of the stairs, I grabbed the keys and my wallet, heading out to get our boys from school. It was their last day and then the summer began. We were headed to the lake for the summer. Demi and I would always go when we were in our teens to our twenties. Then we had kids and stopped for awhile. It use to be a tradition to go with our friends. I feel like Demi is stressing out because of one certain person will be with, her old best friend, Gwen. They always were competitive, yet still best friends. It was weird. Then again we also have the kids this time. Which puts more stress on her.
I hated seeing her so upset and aggravated, it wasn't as bad when we were younger, but then we got married and started a family. I could tell she felt like she had to be doing everything right and trying to be a good mother and wife. I tell her all the time to relax and she just can't. It's been getting worse. So this vacation might be good for us, for her.
I pulled up at the elementary school first to pick up our youngest. I parked and got out, walking up to the office and smiling at the lady at the front desk. "Hi, how are you? Can I check out Jacob Lovato please?" I asked and shortly after, a teacher walked in with my baby boy. I smiled and leaned down picking him up, grabbing his turtle backpack from her. "Thank you." I said and waved before taking him to the car. "Hi, my love. How was school?" I asked kissing his forehead.
Jacob was so cute. He looked just like me. I had him four years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Demi was crying because she was so happy, she was squeezing my hand more than I was squeezing hers and I was the one in labor. Jacob was premature. So he still can't adapt as well as the other kids, but that's what makes him special. I just loved my baby boy.
I placed him in his car seat and then buckled him up before getting in. "Baby did you eat?" I asked leaning over and grabbing his lunchbox to look in it. I was always concerned for him. No matter what it is. And it's weird because I wasn't this attached to my other children when they were younger. Not that I didn't love them any less though. I love all my kids. I looked in his lunchbox and saw he ate his goldfish, but not his sandwich nor did he drink his apple juice. I sighed and then looked back at him. "Jakey, drink this for momma, okay?" I smiled and punched the straw in the juice box, handing it to him. Jacob smiled and laughed before taking it and started sipping. I laughed and then rubbed his little knee before heading to the middle school. He was always such a good kid.
Next, my middle child Kyle. He was in the 6th grade, and 12 years old. Demi had this one. Kyle was always hyper, a jokester, and loud, but he was a decent kid. He wasn't troubling too much. He did has behavioral problems sometimes though. We'd get a call from the school every now and then, but he want too bad. I loved him just as much. When I went inside to check him out, the lady at the front desk looked up at me and raised her eyebrow. "Mrs Lovato?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am." I crossed my arms and she handed me a piece of paper. I looked at it and then sighed. "He's In detention? On the last day of school?" I shook my head and then put the paper down. "Alright, can we please just get him out? My wife's waiting on me, we have plans."
"Mrs Lovato, your son pulled his pants down and went to the bathroom in a plant today." She said placing her glasses on the desk.
I gasped and blinked for a bit before placing my hands on my hips. "Call him up here."
A couple minutes later I watched my blonde son walk in the office with a smug smile on his face. I walked over to his and grabbed his arm, but not too harsh, leaning down to his level. "Kyle Lovato. Did you piss in a plant today?" I asked.
He chuckled and then saw how serious I was, quickly frowning and shaking his head. "'No!" He fought back.
"Yeah, uh huh. Get in the car." I said pushing him lightly and then walking to the car. That boy is something else, but he reminded me so much of Demi when she was younger. A rebel. He was definitely his mom's son.
And at last, my 17 year old. Asher. Now before you think Demi and I are old as shit, were not. Demi is 33 and I'm 34. Asher was adopted. We got him first as well. He found out he was adopted we he was 12. It took a while for him to accept it, but he never gave us problems about it. He is a really good kid. Good grades, good heart. I love him. Asher is a great help around the house too. Always taking care of his brothers. I pulled up to the high school and saw him standing outside waiting for me. He got in the passages seat and put his backpack on the floor. "Hey," He said, pushing his hair out of his eyes and fixing his camo hat.
"Hey babe, how was school?" I asked heading home. Asher shrugged and got on his phone.
When I parked in the driveway I grabbed Asher's arm before he could get out and then looked at all of the boys. "Okay listen up, moms stressed right now so don't tick her off, okay? Let's give her a break so we can have a good vacation. Sound good? Just follow orders and be nice." I said and then looked to Kyle who was ripping up his backpack. I quickly batted his hand and then gave him a glare. "Kyle are you listening? You're already in enough trouble."
Kyle frowned and started to sniffle and I sighed. "What did he do this time?" Asher asked getting out and unbuckling Jacob.
"Thanks love." I said and then got out, picking up Kyle. "He pissed in a plant today at school." I said with disappointment. Asher laughed and Kyle sniffled some more and looked away from me. He may be 12, but he's a small kid, and has a lot of emotions. So we have be aware with him. I grabbed Jacobs backpack and Kyles and then we headed inside.
"Oh honey, I'm glad you're home. Can you pack everything inside the car while I get Jacobs stuff gathered?" Demi said immediately to Asher. He just nodded and I sat down Kyle, taking Jacob from Asher.
Demi then quickly looked to Kyle and then me and sighed. "What'd he do today?" She groaned and I frowned.
"Hey, let's talk about it later, okay?" I said giving her a kiss and then running my fingers in Kyles hair. "Go get everything you want to bring, don't worry about clothes mom got that earlier." I told him.
He looked at me and then Demi before hugging her. Demi rubbed his back and kissed his head, then watched him run upstairs. She then looked at me and took Jacob. "Selena, What'd he do? Just tell me now." She said holding Jacob close to her.
I walked over to the kitchen and started making some ice water. "He went to the bathroom in a plant." I said for the third time today.
Demi just looked at me and then to Jacob and cleared her throat. "Let's go get your stuff Jakey. Want you bop bop?" She smiled referring to his stuffed monkey.
I took a sip of water and let out a long breath, pulling my hair up into a pony tail. "This will be a long day." I place my head in my hands and then looked up hearing Asher.
"Hey, momma?" I looked up and then set the water aside.
"Yes baby?" I asked walking over.
"Marcy, just peed on moms favorite shoes." He said trying to hold back a laugh.
My eyes widened and I quickly ran over and picked them up. "Shit, shit, shit." I cursed and then looked to him. "Okay, take these down to the basement and put them in the washer quickly," I said and then looked around. "Where the hell is that dog?"
