Well im back!
Autumn's POV
13. 13. 13. that's my lucky number. Today I turn 13! Looking at the clock I count down silently in my head to midnight. Once the clock struck midnight that's when I knew I was officially a teenager. That morning I made sure my parents knew I was a solid legit teen.
"Hey baby." My dad smiled. I sighed.
"Daddy im not a baby. Im thirteen now."
He rose his brow and gave my mother a look. "Don't look at me I don't know where she gets her sass from." My mother said with a grin.
I rolled my eyes. "Today is going to be a lucky day!"
"Whys that?" my big brothers voice came from behind me. Turning I saw my now twenty year old brother asked. I smiled and couldn't help myself, I ran to him with open arms, he accepted my bear hug without a choice. Since I didn't give him one.
I let him go and jumped up and down a few times. "Its my birthday! Its my birthday!" When I stopped my family was looking at me as if I gone mad. Which I guess I have.
At school my friends were looking at me the same way my family did. I hate that look but instead of whining about it like I always did I just smiled and giggled to myself.
"Autumn being thirteen is not a big deal." Rain said. We were in the café enjoying lunch. Taking a bite of my sandwich my mother made me I gazed at the twins. Sonny and Rain just turned 13 in the summer. Dylan turned 13 too. We all are seventh graders now. Its amazing how middle school was. It was better than elementary. Although I do miss those snack breaks and one classroom. But other than that it was great.
"Yeah you cant party." Sonny chimed in. Dylan nodded.
"Also I think being thirteen sucks. Parents expect you to be more mature or something. I hate growing up." Dylan frowned.
I rolled my eyes. "You people are soooo negative."
The rest of the lunch was boring really but that's school.
School can be boring but it can be fun especially when your now a new age. And you can finally be considered as a teenager.
Finally be taken serious!
Rain's POV
"So what are the odds that Rick would go out with me?" I asked my sister as we walked to gym together. Sonny tapped her finger on her chin as if she was thinking. Well she might be. My sister has always been like a bast friend to me. We can have our fights but at the end of the day we both know we love each other.
"Zero to ten?" She asked. Looking at me. I frowned and nodded she gave me a smile. "I say a nine."
"A nine? Your only saying that because im your sister."
"I am not. Im saying it because he is looking over here." She glanced over to the basket ball court that was outside. I made my eyes drift in that direction to see he was actually looking at me. I felt a wave of heat creep on me that made me do a u-turn and run for the gym. Inside I race to the changing room and rammed into my locker. I never been good at talking to guys. Unlike my sister I could never talk to anyone. My mother says im anti social and its her fault im like this. My dad says that Sonny got his personalities.
"You okay?" Sonny asked as she walked to her locker which was next to mine. I nodded. I watched her as she stripped her shirt off and jammed in the locker. that's when I noticed.
"Why do you have boobs and I don't?" looking down at my flat chest than back at her I asked. She smiled.
"Guess im filling out. You better catch up little sis." She chuckled. I frowned. We were the same age and she was 5 minutes older big freakin deal that doesn't mean she gets to have boobs when I don't. "Im only kidding Rain. Stop freaking sweetie. Your going to grow your just late is all." She now had on a tank top that showed some of her boobs and some short shorts.
"Can you even get away with that?" I asked.
She smiled. "You bet I can. Im the hottest girl in seventh grade I can do anything."
I rose my brow as I watched my sister strut off. As the bell rung for gym class to start I sighed and skipped.
Coming home I hoped to talk with my parents about teenage issues but as always they were too busy. My father was on his laptop looking intent on what he was doing and my mother was cooking on the phone talking to my aunt Natalie. My life just gets better and better.
"Daddy!" I heard Sunny excitedly say. She nearly ran me over just to get to him. Right as she gets to him she stops immediately. I came slowly to her and tuned everything she was saying out till I heard Ricks name.
"Rain has a crush on the hottest guy! His name is Rick!" Sunny confessed. Right then I wanted to kill her. I felt my face turning red. I don't know what from. Embarrassment or anger.
"Sunny!" I growled.
"Rain don't be shy. Your sister is only telling me her events."
Yes but she doesn't have to tell you my crush father. I frowned. I glared at Sunny than marched to my own room. I sprawled out on my bed alone and feeling like my day kicked my ass…..again. Atleast Autumn will have a great time. Unlike me. Im not depressed and I don't hate my life….I just sometimes feel like im getting left as everyone in my life just passes me by….
I hate the feeling so much.
Sunny's POV
I don't understand my sister. Why cant she stop moping and just live. Her depressing stuff is so annoying sometimes. When at dinner I watched my little brother stuff his mouth full so fast that it really seemed gross. "Breathe will ya Benjamin."
Ben stared at me with a frown than went back stuffing his face. "So how was your day at school kids?" my mother asked.
I smiled. "Well Rain has a-" Rain's cold stare shut me right up. I got it when she was pissed.
"Rain has a crush we know." My dad said then got the look from Rain. That shut him up.
"Sunny has boobs." Rain said so casually too. My dad literally coughed up his coke. My mother's eyes went wide as he stared at my father. "Ben you gonna live?" my dad nodded in response.
"Rain got a big fat F in math." I spitted. Rain and I both knew how this was going to turn out.
"Sunny wears skimpy clothes in gym.""Rain skips gym."
"Sunny got into moms make up." Rain told.
I glared. "Rain gots a flat chest and a big mouth!" I insulted. Rain suddenly scooted her chair back. I did too.
"Sunnys a tramp!"
I growled and started to jump on the table to stangle her Rain was doing the same thing before we actually got our hands on each other mom and dad grabbed both of us. We manage to pull each others hair out and scream at each other. After our fight we got sent to our rooms for a little while till we heard mom and dad call us down. My brother was in the living room watching cartoons. We both sat in chairs. Although both of us went to the same chair. "Move it depressed child." I ordered.
"No go get your own chair tramp."
We grunted as we both pushed each other until dad yelled our names which meant he was mad. Suddenly the chair didn't seem so important.
"Now what has gotten into you two?" My mother asked. Her face was the same color as my dads. Red. Rain stayed silent so I decided to speak up. "Its not my fault that Rain is anti social."
"And its not my fault Sunny likes to flaunt herself like the tramp she is."
"Snake."
"Hussy!"
"Girls!" my dad bellowed, silencing us. "Now Rain you used the word tramp numorus times so your grounded. No phone. No internet. And no tv.""Ha!" I laughed.
"Sunny you are grounded as well."
"Ha!" Rain perched.
"Why?"
"Because you are to wear respectable clothing young lady. I did not raise my daughters to be little…..excited prostitutes." My mother said.
"Now both of you get ready for bed and if so help me I hear fighting I will ground you both till your forty. And trust me I can do that. Im your dad."
That night went by slowly. It was around midnight when I had to go to the bathroom. But when I got to the bathroom I heard sobbing. Rain? shoving the door open a bit I got my answer. I saw Rain hugging her legs and crying in her lap. "Rain?" I turned on the light and there I saw blood in the toilet, than blood on the butt of Rains pants. "Oh my god! Your bleeding!"
She looked up at me with big teary eyes. "I don't know whats happening to me Sunny….im scared….." she really did sound scared too. I knelt down to hug her in my arms and told her everything is alright.
"Im going to get mama."
"No….what if they take me to the hospital….I cant-"
I shushed her lips with my finger than I stroked her hair as I whispered. "Im not letting you go to the hospital you hear? Your alright. Im going to get mama okay. Just stay put and breath."
Rain sniffed and nodded. When I was almost out the door I heard her call my name. Looking back she wiped her eyes and said. "Sorry for ccalling you a tramp earlier."
I smiled. "And sorry for telling mama and dad about your crush." then I left. I opened my parents door which was on the other side of the house, close to the kitchen. They had the downstairs bedroom while us kids had upstairs.
"mom." I whispered as I got to her side. Shaking her I heard her mumble. "Mama….wake up." I shook her harder. "Mom!" I called out more louder. Seeing her eyes open and propping herself up on her elbow she reached out to search my face with her hand.
"Honey what are you doing up? it's a school night. And its past midnight."
"I know but Rain is bleeding." That shot her right up with a concern look.
"What? Where?"
"Umm between her legs. Shes upstairs crying."
My mom rubbed the back of her neck, with a sigh she slowly went to her bathroom and grabbed some items that looked like pads….what Autumn uses. Then she padded upstairs to our bathroom. I followed of course.
Coming in I saw my mother flushing the toilet then kneeling down by Rain. "Okay girls." She pulled me gently in her lap and continued. "Now im sure you learned about what girls do when they hit a certain age. Right?"
Rain shook her head but I nodded. Rain was sick that day when they showed the birds and the bees in sixth grade.
"Well Rain you are entering woman hood."
"Meaning you got your period." I said. My mom nodded. Rain's eyes went huge. And her face went white like she saw a ghost.
"P-period? Im only 13!"
"Doesn't matter baby. We girls start sooner than others. And others start late. I got it when I was 10 years old."
"That young?" I asked. Mom nodded. She gave Rain a pad.
"Autumn got hers at 11 yes?"
I nodded. "Well now Rain has it."
Rain frowned. She gazed down at the pad she took. "Lets give your sister a minute." I rose to my feet and my mother began to but Rain grabbed her sleeve of her night shirt.
"Don't leave me mama." my mom went back down on her knees and hushed Rain back into a calm state. My mother told me to go back to bed and shut the door leaving me in the dark hall way…
I still had to pee though.
Dylan's POV
"Hey it's the Glass kid." A Griffin announced. Again with the whole killing me act. This is really getting old.
"Dylan you should run…." Rain suggested as she looked behind us. Hearing their footsteps and laughter coming closer I knew it was a matter of time I'd be racing for the doors that exited out of the school or I'd be in a sweaty gym locker. Shit.
"No way. You should punch Griffin right in the face." Sunny offered.
"Are you crazy? Dylan cant fight him, the last time he tried that he got crayons shoved up his nose!" Michaela said. I gave her a 'thanks for the encouragement' look. When I saw her cheeks go red I felt something jolt inside me. It felt weird. "Sorry Dyl."
"No its true." I sighed than slowly turned to see Griffin standing. His hands in his jacket pockets. His hair gelled back so perfectly that it made me wanna mess with my messy red hair. "Okay Griffin what do you want?"
"Awe. Come on Glass at east try to squirm." Griffin chuckled.
"You leave Dylan alone or I kick your butt." Sunny hissed. Her face turned bloody red when Griffin and his gang laughed at her words. They should already know never to laugh at Sunny I mean they got their butt kicked in 5th grade by her. Before Sunny could do a thing I held out my arm to block her and looked down at her. "Don't bother Sunny they are not worth your or anyones time."
"Yah girl listen to puny Glass who gets his ass kicked all the time."
"That just means he's worth your time." Michaela said. When Griffin gave Michaela a snarl I wanted to punch him right then and there but luckily a teacher came in the nick of time.
"Is there something you kids should be doing?" the female teacher asked. Her words were code for: Go back to class before you get booted to the office. I didn't really need that to happen so I and my friends left.
"Hey Dylan…" Michaela smiled at me when my eyes peered down at her. Her pale face was really alluring right now. I felt really weird at that moment. Weird enough that I strayed away from her face and to her body…..that made it much worse cause god for a 12 year old she had a rack and being 13 and a boy you really shouldn't know about boobs till like 15 but my dad just had to have me watch the birds and the bees last year. Damn that show ruined me. I drifted my eyes back to her. "Yeah." I responded feeling like a pervert all of a sudden. Michaela's been my best friend since 4th grade so why the hell am I getting worked up on this girl.
When she grabbed my hand I felt a spark that made my stomach do summersaults. "Even though you didn't throw a punch I thought you were amazing back there." She drifted closer to me. So close that I could get a wiff of her smell. She smelled like lemons. Smelled soo good too. My face felt really hot when her chest grazed my arm and something inside me jolted. It was when Griffin yelled "He has a boner!" that I looked down. I saw the worst thing in my life. I saw Michaela saw it and her face was deep red. Oh great the story of my life. Looking around I saw girls squealing, even Sunny and Rain were laughing. If they weren't related to me and they were boys I would of shot them, and guys laughing! How embarrassing!
I snatched a book from Michaela to cover my whatever and ran fast through the halls. Skidding with the turns in the halls and teachers yelling for me to stop I made it to the office. "C-can I call my dad!" I asked the lady who sat sternly in her seat. After giving me permission I dialed my dad.
He answered on the third ring.
"Dad!"
"Hey son. Why are you calling me? You do know im at work."
"I know and sorry but c-could you pick me up?"
"Why? You have tests today."
"I got them done and I just feel sick." like dying sick. Seriously I cant face anybody now. Especially Michaela.
"You don't sound sick. You need school."
"I know but-"
"Don't but me boy. Now we did this with Ben and Natalie but not you. I am not taking you out of school for no reason."
"But Dad-"
"No buts mister now I need to go back to work."
Before I could protests I heard the phone line go and I knew he hung up. Sighing I slammed the phone down a little to hard got stares from a few administrators and they weren't friendly. "Sorry." I muttered as I walked out of the office.
When I entered my 6th period everyone in my class and saw I was still hiding myself behind the book. "Dylan Glass I see you showed up. After your little incident I figured you would be at home." Mr. Andrew said, seeming highly amused. Great even freakin teachers know.
"Hey you okay?" Sunny asked after I sat down in my seat. I nodded. I didn't feel like talking. Not to anyone really. I put Michaela's book on the desk and plopped my head down with it. I closed my eyes and hoped that I could turn invisible the next year. Luckily Autumn wasn't here to laugh at my misery. Knowing her she would.
"Im taking that as a no." Rain said. Sittin up I frowned.
"My dad accused me of faking sick. He did that whole I did this with your sister and brother thing…..he knows I hate that. Im not my brother nor my sister….and damn it I just don't need to be here." with that said I felt something hit my head, looking over my shoulder I saw Griffin grinning his little heart out. Turning back I sighed. "So what do you think of me being home schooled?"
"Its not that bad Dylan." Sunny said. "and Michaela seemed concerned."
"No way. Knowing her she would laugh….just like you guys did and Autumn would….face it everyone would laugh. Even my family…."
"That's not true! Sure we laughed and we were ashamed afterwards and tried to find you…..and Autumn would of done the same and felt the same as we do now. And your family wouldn't." Rain said.
"This is worse then when my brother peed on himself….I got a freakin boner in front of everyone."
"So what. Autumn got laughed at in 6th grade cause she had blood on her shirts. Your going to get laughed at Dylan its school. Hell on earth welcome aboard." Sunny growled. After those words I decided to not responed. I just decided to sleep till the bell rang to let out class.
I dreamed that I wasn't here and I was somewhere else.
A better place then here.
Benito's POV
"Hello?" I heard my mothers voice appear on the phone after answering. I bet she wants us over again. Since Rain got in her woman hood stage my mother has been asking us over constantly, spoiling Rain and giving Sunny the whole 'Soon you'll get it' rant, which I noticed made Sunny perturbed. My mother means well but gosh she's been overdoing it for the past week or so now.
"Hi mom." I smiled. Even though she's been a bit crazy she's still my mother that I love and adore.
"Hey Ben! I was wondering if you, Sam, and the kids would like to come over? Natalie is gonna come over with her kids when Sheen gets home soo-"
"Let me talk with Sam and see. Okay?"
"Alright honey. Love you." When my ears heard her voice say those two words my heart melted a bit. I felt warm and fuzzy inside like I used to when I was a kid.
"Love you too mom." I replied.
After my mother hung up I proceeded to call my wife, looking at the time I would bet she would be having lunch right now. Good. "Hey Ben." a soft voice sang at the opposite end of the phone.
"Hey beautiful." I smiled. "You busy? I need to talk with you."
"Hmmm." There was a silence in between. "Yah im not busy. I just got done with my lunch. So whats up?"
"Well mother has invited us to her house again." When I heard nothing for a long while I continued. "Do we have any plans? Or do you want to go?"
"Not that I know of, Benjamin has karate class though."
Leaning back in my office chair I bit my lip. "When does that start again?"
"Three-thirty."
"Ends?"
"Four-thirty."
"Hm…. Do you want to go to my parents tonight?"
"Of course Ben."
"You sure? We been there constantly since Rain went through-"
"Yes I know." She giggled. Her laugh could still send chills down my spine. In a good way. 11 years of marriage with this woman and it still feels fresh. "And I don't mind. Your parents are fun to be with. Plus it saves me from cooking." She joked.
I laughed and said my goodbyes. The rest of my day was a breeze.
"So how is our little fighter?" I asked as I made myself comfortable beside my smiling wife.
"See for yourself. These karate lessons are really worth the money." Sam said. Looking out from the bleachers I watched my son do a high kick making the other kid fall back on his butt. Sam was right this was a violent sport….and when I suggested the thing she was against it. That made me look at her with a raised brow. "What?"
"I thought you was against this idea." I smirked feeling the power of for once being right and the one that can gloat. Her lips puckered up as she fidgeted.
"I never said that." She said, seeming determind not to feel wrong. I laughed. That earned me a playful glare. "Don't you laugh at me Benito."
"Your cute when you try to be tough." I smiled at her.
"I can really hit you right now."
"And im gonna kiss you right now." I said and went in for the target. Her soft lips against mine. It felt like the first kiss all over again. What made us stop was a voice yelling at us. When we pulled away and looked around we saw all three of out kids looking in disgust and embarrassment.
"Come on dad not here." Sunny ordered. Rain all red face just shook her head and gazed down at her feet. Benjamin looked irritated.
"Seriously! Your ruining my groove!" Benjamin confessed. I heard Sam giggle a little but stopped before she actually went on a laughing fest.
"Sorry guys I just couldn't help it." I blushed after saying that. Well its not my fault my wife sets me off at the wrong time.
Once the lesson was over we drove over to my moms house. When I parked the kids let out heavy sighs. Well mainly Rain and Sunny. "Alright girls be on your best behavior you hear me?"
"Why are we even here?" Sunny asked as we got out of the car. While we walked up the stairs Rain just looked around as if she didn't want to be here. Well im sure she didn't. "Because your grandparents miss you kids. And Natalie wants to chill with your. You can even see Dylan."
"Note dad we see Dylan all the time. And Benno and Anna come over to our house once a week. So does Natalie." Sunny sighed. "Can I just go home?"
"No."
"Figures you'd say that." She growled with a major attitude. I really wanted to growl back but luckily the door opened to reveal my 25 year old sister standing there. Thank god.
"Hey guys." Natalie smiled and let us in. We all were in…well except for Sunny. She had her arms folded and her face scrunched up with anger. Natalie gave me a questioning look. I sighed. "Sunny come in." I ordered.
"No. I don't want to be here." Sunny whined. When I heard other footsteps I turned to see my mother was coming to us with a big smile. My father was following. Oh lovely. I looked at Sunny and made a face that should of got her in but she just stood there.
"Welcome you guys! The food is almost set." My mom smiled and looked past me to Sunny. "You wanna watch some TV in the living room sweetie?"
I saw just then a flicker of anger and irritation in her eyes. "No I don't. I want to go home."
When I was about to get on to her for using that tone with her grandmother Rain stopped me. Rain grabbed her sisters arm and laughed nervously but also constantly. Yep that's what she does…..laughs in awkward conversations. "Excuse Sunny here. She's been irritable all day." Rain pulled Sunny in, past us and around the corner to the living room.
My parents gave me a curious stare. I shrugged. "Teenagers what strange creatures."
Samantha covered her mouth to cover her laughs. My father and mother didn't bother hiding their laughs and my sister just stared at us like we were the craziest people on earth. We soon joined Sheen in the kitchen. He smiled when Natalie came up to him. "So how's Anna and Benno?" I asked.
Natalie looked at me. Her hair was down, she was in jeans and a baggy ACDC t-shirt. She didn't even look like a woman who had two kids. Sheen who was holding her hand answered. "We're still alive so im guessing that's good." Sheen had on a plain black shirt on, baggy jeans and his hair swerved to the side of his face. He didn't look like a guy who had two kids either.
"How's Dylan been doing dad?" Natalie asked. My dad made a unsure face than shrugged. "I don't know. Since he turned thirteen he's been different."
"Different how?" My mother asked, obviously more concerned about her son than the food she was stirring. My dad looked down at her and was about to spill but stopped. Turning my head I saw the reason why he stopped. Dylan came walking in. he looked really pale. My mother than turn to her son. She made sure to smile at him. "Hey sweetie."
"Hi." he responded in a flat tone. When he went to the fridge my dad began asking. "So did you tell your mom why you called me at work today?"
"You called him at work?" She asked. Dylan face turned ghost white than a little pink. His eyes threw daggers at our father. Like always my father didn't react. He never reacted to those looks. When Dylan didn't say a thing my dad started again. "He did. Asking if he could come home. He was feeling 'sick'" he lifted his two hands and did that whole 2 fingers quote thing.
"Honey is that true?"
"Yes. But dad here didn't even let me explain and hung up on me." Dylan said. His expression looked so embarrassed. Like he didn't even want to talk.
"That's because I know you kids. Your brother did it. Your sister did it. I wont let you have your way like these two. I was soft with them but you will not….I repeat….NOT turn out like them." my dad sent Natalie and I both apologetic looks. I wanted to intervene and so did Natalie but Dylan slam the plastic cup down on the counter and slammed the cabinet then glared at our dad and started to shout with full blown anger. "I know that. Stop comparing me to Ben and Natalie. Im my own person. When I called you I called for a good reason not to play around but of course with a dad like mine I wouldn't be able to explain!"
"Then why did you call sweetie?" My mother asked. Dylan turned all red and than put his glass back up.
"Just forget it. To you guys im just another pain in the ass so leave me alone." Dylan muttered as he stormed out. Seconds later we heard a loud door slam. My dad sighed. My mom frowned. Before we could say anything we heard the kitchen door swing open. Sunny, Rain, Anna, and Benno came in with curious faces.
"Why is Uncle Dylan mad?" Anna asked. I watched Natalie pick her up and hold her then looked at our parents. My mom frowned. "I don't know…."
"I do." Sunny said. We all shot our eyes down on Rain and Sunny. Rain looked really uncomfortable being stared at and in the spotlight. Sunny looked….natural. Calm and comfortable. "You gonna share or wait till the next ice age?" Samantha asked.
"I don't think we should Sunny. Its his business…." Rain said.
"Rain its all over school soon itll be all over town." Sunny took her eyes off her sister than back at us. "Dylan was looking at our friend Michaela and he got a boner in front of the entire school and ran to the office. that's when he called grandpa. He came back for 7th period and now he's known as the boner boy."
Oh wow. Now that's bad. No wonder he's so pissed off at our dad. I would be too. "I should go talk to him…" My dad said. I stopped him. "Maybe his brother should. He's quite steamed at you dad." I said. I watched my dad frown then sigh. He nodded. I kissed Sam on the forehead then made my way up to Dylan's room. Walking in I saw his pale back covered in bruises and cuts. Even burn marks. It was shocking. What snapped me out of the shock was his shirt falling in place. He turned and let out a started yelp before falling backwards over his toy chest that sat at the foot of his bed. I cringed when I heard his body hit the floor. Coming closer to the chest I looked down at him. "You okay?"
His face looked really irritated but I knew he was holding back a lot of frustration. "Peachy. My life just cant get any better…." I lifted him up back on his feet and sat on the toy chest.
"Sunny told me about you incident at school." I didn't mention all of us knowing he was ticked already I didn't want him to be more ticked. Dylan frowned.
"Your daughter has a big mouth."
"I blame her mother. Anyways I wanted to talk to you."
He turned away and sat on the bed. "There's nothing to talk about."
I turned my body to face him. "Obviously there is or you wouldn't be upset. Look I know how you feel…being in 7th grade….small…feeling out of place. I get it." Dylan just stared at his lap. I got up and sat next to him. "When I was in sixth grade….I peed my pants in front of the whole school. When Natalie was your age….she wet the bed. We all do embarrassing things all the time….get teased for it too….but we gotta be strong and not let the nay sayers get the best of us."
"Easier said then done. You're the oldest. Natalie was the middle child. And now im the youngest. And because my siblings had to be parents when they were young im getting punished for it. I cant date, go out, or even hang out with friends except for Sunny and all them but it gets boring after a while."
I know how that feels. My brother needs older guy friends. And maybe older girl- friends. Not 6 year olds. And my daughters can be really hard to deal with and be around especially when they're in moods.
"How about this….ill talk with mom and dad…and see if they will let you hang out with your friends….with me as your chaperone."
"I don't need a baby sitter. I need parents who can trust me. Who can let me prove that im not gonna screw up my life." Dylan frowned. "They never trust me. Always compare me with your or Natalie…..im not neither of you. Im me."
I rubbed his back and the face he was making reminded me of his bruises so I quickly stopped. "Ill talk to them. We can both. They will understand."
"You think?"
"Natalie was just like you at your age. Rebellious and craving attention….trying to tell them to love her and not some fantasy her. She didn't like it when mom got pregnant with you because that meant more competition. Finally Natalie snapped and yelled at us. When she tried running…dad wouldn't let her. Mom was also holding her back. They spent all night on her…..and all this time on the both of us. Now you."
"They don't spend time on me. Mom wants you guys over all the time and dad is too busy for fun and games."
"Then you gotta demand attention. If you don't then….well you'll be-" What was the word im looking for? Left out? Lost?
"I'll be like Natalie. Got it."
I nodded. When the door behind us creaked we both turned to see Sunny in the door way. She looked pale. Holding her tummy. "Daddy…."
I got up and so did Dylan. "Sunny what is it?"
"I don't feel good." She frowned.
"No if this is you trying to go home then-" What made me stop was my daughter collapsing to the floor, curling up in a ball hugging her stomach and whimpering. "Sunny!" I ran to her side and saw she was crying. Real tears. Not at all fake. "Baby?" I lifted her up in my arms and checked her over but everything looked fine. "What hurts?" I asked. Looking up at Dylan, who was freaking as much as me I said. "Go get the others…." He nodded and ran out.
"Daddy my tummy it…it hurts." She cried. I don't understand. She was just fine a while ago. What the hell happened between then and now.
"How long have you been feeling this?"
"Since this morning….." flashbacks came at me like a movie. I remembered her asking to stay home because she didn't feel well. This must have been it. And stupid me sent her off anyways because I thought she was just trying to skip her math test today. Wow I just did what my dad did to Dylan… shaking that thought off I sat Sunny in my lap which me moving her made her cry more. "Im sorry baby."
My mother was the first one to get in then my wife, then my father, Natalie, then Dylan and finally Rain squeezed through to sit by her sisters side. Rain seemed concentrated on something. She moved Sunny's hand and laid her hand on Sunny tummy. A few moments later Rain said. "Her appendix is bad. She needs to go to the hospital."
When all of our shocked eyes fell on her, even Sunny stopped for a moment to look at her sister Rain blushed. "W-well don't stare at me. We need to get her to the hospital." Rain was right. Shock later Sunny to the hospital now.
Hours in hospitals seemed like days. If it wasn't for Benjamin talking about the time it is now I would of lost count long ago. "Dad I need to go home. I have karate tomorrow. I cant be tired." With a kid in your face telling you this and that was a bit eerie but I supposed that came with being a parent to 13 year olds and a 6 year old hyper kid. Sam I guess saw my look and stood up. "Benjamin how about we go home and I read you a bed time story."
Ben shook his head. "No dad needs to do it. I bond with you girls all the time." His arms went around my neck and his head laid in the crane of my neck. I couldn't help but to smile. I scooped him up on my lap and let him lay on top of me.
"And here I thought the kids adored me." Sam joked as she plopped in a seat next to me. I laughed and patted her thigh.
"They do."
"I do but right now its my daddy time mama. You should know that by now. After eight-thirty he's mine."
Sam stared at him. "And what if I want him?"
Ben frowned. "I don't care if you're a lady I will not let YOU go first."
Sam laughed and laid her head back. "okay okay you win sir."
Ben got a smug look on his face fast. "I always win!"
"Gosh Ben he's like a miniature you." Natalie laughed. Looking up at her I put on a smile. I watched her as she sat down. "So I hear Sunny is out."
"She is?"
Natalie nodded. "She was asking for yall a bit ago but the docs said she needs rest."
Suddenly my energy went up. Somehow my son got into Sam's arms without me even noticing I was handing him over to her. Racing to the nurse's station I heard footsteps following mine. Once I stopped I glanced over my shoulder to see my wife beside me. She must of handed Ben over to Nat. I looked at the nurse and asked. "Can I see Sunny? Sunny Glass? Im Benito Glass her father."
"And im Samantha Glass her mother."
The nurse gave us both her attention with a look of annoyance. "Look she needs rest-"
"I don't care damn it. Either you let me see her or-" I stopped when I felt Sam's fingernails digging into my skin as a warning.
"Im sorry for my husband. Look ma'am all we want is to see our child."
"And I want a million bucks but you don't see that do you?"
"No need to be rude miss I was just-"
"Being a pain in my ass? Yes you were." Instead of me going after the nurse it was Sam. It was so fast. Sam climbed over the counter and grabbed the nurses collar that's when I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back. After having all of her in my arms and not near the nurse I whispered calming things in her ear as she breathed in heavy breaths. By this point all of my family were around us. When Sam was calmed I handed her over to my mother, who was already engulfing Sam into her arms. My father by my mothers side. I leaned close to the nurse who looked terrified and I said in a hush tone. "Let me see my daughter…."
She gave me a stern look. "If I do could you and your crazy wife go away?"
"Be glad to."
"Fine room 223."
Once the doors were open I led my wife to our daughter.
