Annabeth's P.O.V.
'Give. IT. BACK!'
I heard my oldest daughter shout from upstairs, as she chased her younger brother across the hallways.
'I don't want to!'
I heard her brother answer. He was six years younger than her, and they were always arguing. Friendly arguing. I think.
They came running down the stairs while the twins were betting on who would win this time, leaning against the railing of the top of the stairs. Pearl was wearing a pair of jeans and a pink sweater with a white shirt underneath, and Sammy was wearing the same but in blue. Gods, I love seeing they dressed the same.
'Mom, tell Marina to give me my jacket. She won't give me my jacket!' Leo came running from the kitchen, followed by a happy-looking Marina. Leo was wearing a blue shirt and some brown trouser that were a bit bog for him. Marina was wearing a yellow dress and she was holding a brown jacket.
'C'mon, Marina. Give your brother his jacket' I told her. She didn't oblige.
'Give it back!' Leo went running behind Marina, who now was laughing uncontrollably.
Amanda and Charles passed behind me, throwing water at each other, as I made my way to the kitchen. There I found Lucas quickly eating his oatmeal. He was wearing gym clothes, like most days, but most of his jacket was soaked in milk.
'GoodmorningmumIgottagoIdon'twanttobelatebye!' He said as he finished his breakfast and went out of the room.
'Good morning to you too' I muttered under my breath. I prepared myself some coffee and sat down to drink it. I looked out the window. It was a cloudy day of winter, and I was wearing my most comfy clothes, which happened to be some grey jeans and a brown jersey shirt. Amanda and Charles came into the room for their breakfast. Amanda was wearing a grey shirt and a pair of jeans, and Charles was wearing blue jeans and a red T-shirt.
'Charles, no T-shirts in winter.' I reminded him.
'But, mum…'
'No buts. Eat your breakfast and then go change.'
'Yes, mum'
Amanda stuck her tongue out at him and got a glare of her brother in return.
That's when all hell broke loose.
