Ashley's POV:
Today is Hanna's first day of ballet camp, it's also her first day of camp. She's nervous and scared about It but I'm sure she'll do fine.
Alison went to art camp last year and she's going to swim school with Emily today She's very excited.
Over her pink one piece Alison is wearing a blue sundress with white flats. Her hair is braided into two French braids.
"Mommy I want you drive me to swim school not Daddy" Alison whined as I put a bowl of cheerios with blue berries in front of her with my free hand. Hanna is still clinging on to me like a monkey. Jason was sitting beside Alison eating his cheerios with no fruit dressed in his red and blue baseball uniform.
"Mommy has to pick up Spencer Alison" Tom said as he sipped his coffee
"That's not fair Hanna always gets Mommy" Alison said
"Hanna I need two hands to cut your banana" I said as I sat her down on the table. She whimpered "I don't wanna go" she said
"Spencer's going with you" I said as I put her banana slices in her bowl of cheerios and the sat her down in a chair. Over her leotard and tights Hanna was dressed in a yellow sundress and she was wearing her favorite pink flats.
"I want you to come with me" Hanna said as her pushed her hair out her face. I took a few more sips of my coffee and then grabbed a hair tie and clips from the cabinet and put her hair in a bun.
"Mommy can't go with you Hanna" I said and kissed her hair "Eat your food we have to get Spencer soon"
"Is Emily in the same group as me?" Alison asked
"I think so she's an excellent swimmer for her age" I said
"I'm better" Alison said as she got out her chair and took her bowl to the sink. "Don't be cocky Alison it always comes back to bite you in the-"
"Alison your lunch is in the fridge go get your bag from upstairs. Jason you too" I said. I glared at Tom.
"I'm done!" Hanna said. I put her on my hip and put her bowl in the sink.
"Okay go upstairs and brush your teeth so we can go" I said
Ella's POV:
Aria may not be going to camp with any of her close friends but she's going to music camp today with one of her new friends Jenna. She's such a sweet little girl and they are also in art camp together. The art camp is from nine to one and then Jenna's mother Caroline is driving them to the music camp for the rest of the day. I'm picking Aria up first and then bringing Spencer over to our house. Aria has complained that she misses her Spencer.
"Aria Alexis Montgomery!" I yelled as I got out of bed. My shirt was pulled up and all over my stomach Aria had drawn pink hearts and balloons.
"Hi Mommy" Aria said sweetly. She's still dressed in her pajamas.
"Why would you draw on me?" I asked
"It's for my sister" she said
"Aria you don't draw on people unless they give you permission. How could Mommy give you permission if I was asleep huh?" I yelled
Aria's bottom lip began to tremble before she burst into tears. "I want my Daddy!" she cried
I looked at the clock it's 7:45 Byron already left for work. I took Aria's hand after I put my robe on and lead her to her room.
"Daddy went to work and if he were here he would be very upset with you for drawing on me" I said as I stood her up on her bed so I could undress her.
"No! I want Daddy!" she cried
"You want me to call him?" I asked as I unzipped her cookie monster pajamas and took off her underwear.
She nodded "Okay after your shower you can tell him why you're so upset" I said
Aria calmed down a bit after her shower and as she got dressed I made her some oatmeal and packed her lunch box for today and then clipped it to her backpack that I filled with an extra dress, two of her princess books, and her gameboy.
Aria came downstairs dressed in white shorts and a hot pink t-shirt with white stars all over it and pink flats with white ribbons on them.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled
"Thank you Mommy's sorry for yelling at you alright?" I asked as I picked her up and kissed her nose
She nodded as I sat her down in her chair. She ate as I went upstairs to shower. I put on a white silk shirt with a turquoise skirt and black heels. After I tied my hair back into a low pony tail I went downstairs.
I combed Aria's hair back into two pony tails as she ate. I made myself a bowl as well after I poured her a cup of orange juice.
"Are you excited to play the piano?" I asked
"Yeah and the pottery" she said
"I'll make the baby something" she said as I ran my fingers through her hair
"Oh really? What will you make?" I asked
"I'll make her a blanket. Jenna said we learn how to knit too" she said
I looked straight into her hazel eyes "If you make her a blanket can you promise Mommy that you'll make a boy blanket too? We don't know if there's a baby girl in here yet" I said rubbing my stomach
"I promise" she said
Veronica's POV:
"Remember to call home every night okay? If you want to go home I'll come and get you I won't be mad. Take your medicine and I packed your blanket from home and you-"
"Mommy I know I know, I'll remember" Melissa said as I lifted her up and put her on the counter. I kissed her cheek.
"I'm going to miss you so much!" I said and gave her a big hug. She's dressed in her riding clothes. Her suitcase and small backpack are beside the front door with her helmet.
"The bus isn't coming for like another ten minutes" Melissa said as she sat down in her chair.
I placed her waffles in front of her and poured her a glass of milk.
"No Daddy! I'm sorry!" I heard Spencer scream from upstairs
Peter came downstairs dressed in his suit ready for work. "I had to put her in timeout. She threw a tantrum when I tried to change her so she's up there in a wet pull up" Peter said
"She's not dressed! I want her to say bye to Melissa" I said as I dashed upstairs to Spencer's room.
Spencer was crying in the corner in nothing but her pull-up. She turned around and wiped her eyes.
"I'll s-say sorry t-to Daddy!" she cried as she stood up
"Honey you have to listen to Daddy. You can't just sit around in a wet pull-up" I said as I crouched to her level
"I wanted to do it by myself…to show Daddy I was still a big girl" she said
"Honey everyone has accidents. Listen you can change yourself next time but Melissa's leaving soon and Hanna's coming to take you to ballet camp so we have to hurry up" I said as I un tapped her pull-up straps.
I grabbed the baby wipes from her bed and wiped her clean. "You took a shower last night right?" I asked her as I stood her up on the bed
"Yes" she said as I quickly put underwear and tights on her then her pink leotard.
"Your dance shoes are in your bag" I said as I tossed her white dress over head. I put her hair in a bun and put her on my hip then grabbed her blanket and dance bag.
"Okay she's good!" I said as I ran downstairs
"Spencer sissy's leaving for a little while for camp but she'll come back okay?" I asked before I kissed her cheek
"Okay" Spencer said as she reached for Peter who was eating his breakfast at the table. Peter put her on his lap
"Are you going to miss me?" Melissa asked Spencer
Spencer shrugged. "Here honey eat Hanna's coming soon" I said as I passed her a plate.
Spencer still doesn't know I can't bring to camp today I have this huge case today and so does Peter.
"Thank you" Spencer said
"The bus is here!" Melissa yelled happily
I picked her up immediately and kissed her cheeks. "I love you so much. You have fun okay?"
"Okay Mommy I love you" I kissed her one last time before giving her to Peter and taking Spencer from him.
"Bye Spencer!" Melissa said
I put Spencer down and Melissa really shocked me when she wrapped her arms around her baby sister.
"Give her a kiss" I said Spencer kissed Melissa on the lips as Melissa bent down. Probably not because she wanted to but because when we saw give a kiss she thinks lips.
"Bye bye!" Spencer said
Peter took Melissa outside while Spencer ate. About ten minutes later Ashley pulled into our driveway as Peter was pulling out.
"Your blanket and everything you need is in your backpack" I said as I clipped her lunch box to her little blue backpack and helped her put it on.
I grabbed my work satchel after I put Spencer on my hip. We left the house and I opened the door to my car.
"Good morning!" Ashley said
"Good morning Ashley thank you for doing this today" I said as I threw my satchel in my car and took out Spencer's car seat.
"What are you doing Mommy?" Spencer asked
"I'm just putting your carseat in Hanna's car. Remember I told you her mommy is taking you to camp today. Aria's mommy is picking you up today but after that I'll come get you alright?" I said and kissed her cheek
"No Mommy I don't want to go without you!" she cried as I brought her over to Ashley's car.
"It's okay honey" I said as Ashley strapped her car seat in.
Ashley reached for Spencer and I kissed her before I gave her to Ashley. Spencer started sobbing for me.
"You're okay honey" I said with my back to her as I walked over to my car.
Wayne's POV:
"Hi Daddy" Emily said to me as she watched me cut her French toast up.
"Come here" I said as I picked her up and put her on the counter. I kissed her cheek. "Suyeong haggyo e daehan modeun junbiga doesyeossseubnikka?" I asked her in Korean (You all ready for swim school?)
"Ne!" she said (Yes)
"Good girl!" I said. Emily was dressed in a pair of blue overalls with a pink shirt with pink ballet flats.
"Joh-a meoggo appaga haggyoe suyeonghagi wihayeo dangsin-eul geollil geos-ibnida" I said as I put her food on the table with one hand and sat her down in her chair with the other.
(Okay eat daddy is going to take you to swim school)
"Daddy does Mommy have work today?" Emily asked. I wished she asked me in Korean but I answered
"Ne" I said as I sat down at the table with her leaving Pam's plate on the table as well.
"Who's picking me up?" Emily asked
"hannaui eommaneun jogeum-eul wihae geunyeoui jib e bog-yong hago eomma ga dangsin-eul delileo" I said.
(Hanna's mom is taking to her house for a bit and then mommy will pick you up)
"Okay!" Emily said
"Hi look at my two favorite people!" Pam said as she came downstairs ready for work. She kissed Emily's cheek and then leaned over to kiss me on the lips.
"Mommy sit with me" Emily said patting the chair next to her
"Oh baby Mommy has to go to work now but I'll see at your playdate. Give me kiss" she said
Emily kissed Pam then after Pam put her breakfast in a plastic bag she left.
Emily sighed sadly as she ate her breakfast. I still have to get used to the fact that she's not always going to want me over Pam who she see's everyday.
"Daddy put apple juice in your sippy cup for camp okay? It's in pink bottle cooler in your backpack I put your lunch in there too" I said
After Emily brushed her teeth I picked her up and brought her to my car. I strapped her into her car seat after I opened the door.
I gave Emily her backpack before I got into the drivers seat and drove to the swim school.
Emily put her backpack on before I picked her up and entered the building.
"Hi are you Emily? I'm Shanna your swim instructor for today" An African American young women said
Emily whimpered and laid her head on my shoulder. "She's a little bit nervous" I said as I put Emily on the ground who just clung to my leg like a monkey,
"Oh she'll be fine once we get into the water" Shanna said
"Emily! Emily!" Alison yelled as she ran to Emily
"Look Emily it's Alison go with her. It's okay. You'll see Daddy later" I said
"Okay" Emily said and took Alison's hand before she said "Love you Daddy!"
Spencer's POV:
"Oh you girls have a beautiful point" Miss Louise said as Hanna and I pointed and flexed our feet on the ground.
As we tried to keep our back straight then bring our head to our knees Miss Louise circled us and said
"I know some of you don't want to be here. Some of you are here because your mommies signed you up. Raise your hand if you'd rather not be here"
Hanna and I raised our hands along with some other girls and one boy who's the only boy in the class.
"Spencer and Hanna you shock me you two have a lot of potential" she said
"I want my Mommy" I said
"If I hear more complaints some of you will stay here late and stretch. Spencer wipe those tears off your cheeks they're distracting me you know what why don't you sit next to Toby"
I did as she said and sat next to the boy. "Why were you crying you're so good at ballet" Toby said
"Because I miss my mommy. Aren't you Jenna's brother?" I asked
"Step brother" Toby said
"She's at camp with my friend Aria" I said "My friend Alison told me you were a creep"
"You shouldn't listen to everything she says" Toby said
"Spencer Toby stop talking and get into that spilt stretch!"
Aria's POV:
"Ew this is so messy!" I said as I wedged the pottery clay and rubbed my hands together
"If we don't do this our pieces will fall apart on the pottery wheel. I have one at home" Jenna said
"What are you going to make?" I asked
"A sugar bowl or something for my mommy. You?" she said
"I wanna make a pencil cup for my Daddy" I said as I held up my piece of clay
"Good Aria now you just have to shape it and you can start on the wheel" Miss Carmen, the pottery director said
"Here let me help you" Miss Carmen said as she took my clay from me "You can go wash your hands then put gloves on.
Jenna helped me make a bowl shape and Miss Carmen helped me get it into a cup shape. I smiled as I molded my clay on the wheel.
Alison's POV:
I crossed my arms as I watched Emily swim through the pool without floaties. I'm not as good as I thought and I had to wear floaties. I told the instructors I was tired so they let me get my towel and sit down at the edge of the pool.
Emily can tread water so she doesn't have to wear floaties. Emily swam to the edge of the pool.
"Emily tell us when you want to get out of the pool we'll help you" Shanna said as she lifted Emily out the water and pulled her goggles up.
"I don't want you to slip. You can go get your towel since it's almost lunch time" Shanna said
Emily got up and came back to the edge of the pool with her hooded Elmo towel on. "You're a pretty good swimmer Emily" I said "Almost as good as me"
"You can't even tread the water" Emily teased
"I can too I was just nervous!" I yelled. Emily shrank back away from me. "No don't cry. You'll get us in trouble. I didn't mean it!" I said quickly as tears ran down Emily's cheeks
Emily wiped her eyes "I think it would be fun if we both joined the swim team when were old enough" Emily said
"Yeah it would" I said
"Did you have fun?" Hanna asked me as I strapped myself into my car seat. I was sitting in the middle because Emily wasn't sitting in a carseat
"I guess. Did you?" I asked
"Yeah I'm good at ballet" Hanna said as Mommy strapped her in tighter then closed the door. "Mommy how come you didn't sign me up for swimming when I was a baby like Emily?" I asked
"It's not a competition Alison-"
"I was the only four year old that couldn't tread the water" I said
"Alice you hated water when you were a baby. Emily did you have fun?" Mommy asked
"Yes" she said
"Mommy where's Jason?" Hanna asked
"Daddy's picking him up he'll be home an hour after us"
Mommy drove us home and opened the door to unbuckle us. I hoped out around Hanna.
"Alison and Emily I want you guys to shower. Chlorine is very dirty" Mommy said as she put Hanna on her hip.
"We took showers at camp. They gave us soap and everything" I said
"Okay then. Let's eat I'll make peanut butter sandwiches" Mommy said as she opened the door to our house
"Girls you want me to blow dry your wet hair?" Mommy asked
"No were fine can you cook?" I asked
"Watch the attitude or you're going to timeout. Now do you want to be Mommy and help or watch cartoons with your sister and Emily?"
Ella's POV:
"No Mommy were talking about my sister!" Aria cried as I picked up Spencer who was falling asleep as she played with Aria's kitchen set
"Aria I told you it might be a boy. You know we find out next week" I said
"Do want a boy or a girl?" Spencer asked me as I rubbed her back "
"I want a boy because Aria's my little girl" I said
"Mommy don't jinx it!" Aria yelled
" Sweetie please lower your voice. You want some milk?" I asked her as I laid Spencer down on the couch with her blanket.
Aria nodded as I left to go to the kitchen. I filled her cookie monster sippy cup with milk and gave it to her when she sat down on the couch.
"I met Toby today he was in my ballet with us. He's nice" Spencer said
"Thank you" Aria said to me "But Alison said he's a creep" Aria said
"Not everything Alison says is true" Spencer said as she curled up with her blanket
" Here Mommy will put on Little Mermaid okay but you have to be quiet because Spencer's sleeping" I said
"Okay" Aria said before she drank from her sippy cup.
As they relaxed I scheduled my doctors appointment.
Veronica's POV:
"Thank you for watching her Ella. Hanna's coming over tomorrow I can pick up Aria too if you'd like" I said as I grabbed Spencer's things with my free hand.
"Oh Aria has a playdate with Jenna and Alison" Ella said
Spencer woke up when I pulled into our driveway. "Where's Melissa?" she asked
"Remember we said goodbye to her this morning?" I asked as I picked her up and grabbed my bag and her backpack
"So she's not coming back?" Spencer asked sadly
"Of course she is honey. She'll be back in two weeks" I said before I kissed her cheek
"Daddy!" Spencer said when Peter opened the door
"Hey champ how was camp?" he asked as he took her from me
"Good" she said "Did you cook Daddy?" she asked as we entered the house
"Actually Daddy ordered Chinese food. Did you make friends with any kids at camp?" he asked as he brought Spencer to the kitchen to wash her hands, I put my briefcase down next to the couch and put Spencer's backpack on the couch after I took her lunch box out.
"Spencer why didn't you finish your sandwich?" I asked as I unpacked her lunch box. She took maybe three bites of her sandwich, she ate all her carrot sticks and she had her yougurt. She didn't touch her cookies either.
"I wasn't hungry for it" she said
"Well then you can help me pack your lunch tomorrow" I said as I sat down at the table
"I met a boy named Toby" Spencer said
"Toby Cavannaugh? Jenna's step brother?" Peter asked her as he put rice on her plate
Spencer nodded "He's really nice" she said
"Oh you're to young to be talking to the boys" I said
Pam's POV:
"Okay so tell Mommy all about it. How was camp?" I asked Emily as I carried her to our bedroom. I just gave her a bath and dressed her into her Little Mermaid nightgown
"It was really fun. I learned how to swim under water!" Emily said I sat her down on my chest as I sat down in the middle of the bed.
"That's why your eyes are so red. Did you where your goggles like Mommy said?" I asked as she laid her head down on my chest. She was holding her blanket tightly in her right hand.
"Yeah the water just got into my eyes sometimes" she said
"Mommy will buy you new ones" I said and kissed her hair. I patted her back twice "Okay Emmy time for bed" I said as Wayne came into the room
"She can stay in here tonight" Wayne said before she turned off the light
Wayne kissed me then Emily before he laid down in bed next to Emily.
"Goodnight" Emily said with a yawn
Any request? I was think of skipping ahead one or two years but it would still be summer time so Aria's sibling would be revealed. Or if your still enjoying the story as it is I won't change anything until the end of summer.
