"MOMMY!" Alex scream from the top of the stairs. Remy jolted up from her peaceful slumber. She herd two sets of footsteps running down the stairs. She looked at the empty spot on the bed next to her and hoped James was having fun at his convention in Florida. Suddenly the bedroom door flung open. Alex and Amy both jumped into bed with her.

"Mommy today is our first day of kindergarden!" Alex stated excitingly. He couldn't wait to go to school. He was a lot like James, and even looked like him to. He had a goofy smile and everyone loved him. He was more out going than his sister. Amy liked to keep to herself. She let her brother do all the talking and would never let go of her blanky or her stuffed tiger. She was the spitting image of Remy.

"I am glad you are excited!" Remy said messing with her son's hair. " I wish your father were hear. He couldn't get out of his speech."

"That's okay mommy we have you!" Amy mumbled softly. Remy hugged her daughter and placed her in her lap. Even though she didn't say much, Amy knew what to say to make a person feel good.

"What do you guys want for breakfast?"

They decided to have pancakes. Alex tried to help, but made a big mess. Amy sat at the table and colored in her coloring book with her blanket over her shoulders like and Prince the tiger watching. In the middle of cooking a familiar face walked trough the back door.

"I heard that two big kids were going to start school today!" The person said.

"Grandpa!" Andy scram as he ran to hug Remy's father.

"Hey sport! I got you something for your first day!" He said handing Alex a dinosaur backpack with a matching lunchbox.

"Cool thanks grandpa!" Alex said hugging his grandpa then running to his mom to show her.

"Hey dad, want some breakfast?" Remy asked bringing the pancakes to the breakfast table.

"Only after I give Amy her present." Remy's father stated holding out a disney princess backpack and lunchbox. Amy smiled and gave him a hug.

They all ate breakfast and then Remy got Alex and Amy ready for school. Alex decided that he wanted to be a big boy and get ready himself, but Amy had no problem with her mommy picking out her clothes.

"How about your purple butterfly dress?" Remy asked. Amy only nodded. She held up both hands, one still holding Prince, so her mom could put on the dress.

"I can' t put on the dress with Prince in your hands silly!" Remy laughed. She took the tiger away. Amy started to tear a bit and ran to her tiger once her dress was on.

"Amy you can't hold on to him at school. You have to leave him here." Remy said taking the tiger away from her again.

"But I love Prince. He is my friend." Amy said looking at her feet.

"You will make new friends at school." Remy informed her.

" I don't wanna go to school." Amy mumbled. "I wanna stay here."

"I'm ready!" Alex announced. He actually did a good job. He came in with his dino shirt, jeans zipped and buttoned. His shoes were even tied. Grandpa walked through Amy's door after him with a big smile on his face.

"Did you get dressed all by yourself?" Remy asked.

"Yes! I told you I could do it!"

" Are you all ready to go Amy?" Grandpa asked.

" I'm not going!" Amy told him jumping onto her bed. She snuggled into her blanky. She wanted Prince too, but he was still in Remy's hand.

"Amy, why don't you want to go?" Grandpa asked, sitting next to her.

"Mommy says I can't bring Prince!"

"Well what mommy ment to say is that the kids would make fun of you if you brought your tiger." He stated. "They did her on her first day when she brought Lenny the Lion to school."

Amy's mouth dropped. Remy slightly laughed remembering that horrid day.

"That's right! I forgot about Lenny!"

"But you still brought him to school after." He said to Remy. He turned back to Amy. "She brought him to school in her backpack. That way Lenny was still there for her, but none of the other kids knew."

"Mommy can I put Prince in my backpack?" Amy asked.

"Yes, Sweetheart."

With that settled everyone headed into Remy's car and they drove off to school. Andy talked about everything under the sun on the way while Amy stared out the window hugging Prince. Remy smiled as she saw both her children in the back seat. It seemed only yesterday she and James were holding them for the first time and now they were going to elementary school. She was worried about Amy though. Andy would shortly do fine, but Amy was special. They had almost lost her at birth. She was smaller than her brother and under developed. James thought that she is the way she is because she was small at birth, but Remy didn't think so. She was just shy, like Remy at that age. James just didn't understand.

"We're here!" Alex yelled as the car pulled into the parking lot of the school. Alex was so excited to see all the older kids get off of the bus. They didn't have there mommy's with them on the first day. He wanted to be more like them. He ran into the school excitedly.

"Wait for us!" Remy yelled as she helped Amy out of the car.

"I'll take care of him." Remy's dad assured her. He went casing after Alex. "Come here you!" Alex was giggling as Grandpa Hadley caught him and started tickling him. Amy and Remy both let out a small giggle.

"You ready?" Remy asked Amy stroking her child's hair. Amy shook her head no. "Amy, I'm ready!" Prince, or Remy pretending to be Prince, told her.

Amy smiled and looked at her mother with her gorgeous blue-green eyes. Remy smiled back at her and put a loose strand of hair behind her daughter's ear.

"Come on give him one more big hug for luck and lets go in!" Amy did as she was told and then put Prince into her backpack. Remy picked her up and carried her into the school.

When they found Alex and Amy's class room, Alex was already making new friends. His grandpa was standing in the doorway waiting for Remy.

"Hi you must be Dr. Wilson!" The teacher said when Remy walked through the door. The teacher looked fresh out of college. "I am Ms. Miller. Your son seems like he will have no problem in here."

"Ya Alex might seem high strung, but he is a good kid. This here is Amy, his twin sister."

"Oh well good morning Amy! I'm your teacher Ms. Miller. We are going to have so much fun together," Ms. Miller said with a smile on her face.

Amy only waved hello and clung on to her mommy. There were so many people in the class room. Sure enough her brother was in the middle of it all. Remy looked down at her leg. She ruffled Amy's hair and bent down to talk to her.

"I'll be back once school lets out." She told her. Amy gave a small nod and looked at her feet. "Try to make new friends?"

"I'll try."

"I love you," Remy said kissing the top of Amy's head. She stood up and turned to her son "Alex?"

"Yah mom?"

"Please stay out of trouble."
