ps. iltalics is a flashback


I woke up Sunday morning with a smile on my face. The first thing a saw was my beautiful wife's face; she looked so peaceful I tried to get out of bed being careful that I didn't wake her. When I got out of bed I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and clean my face. When I was done I headed downstairs to start a pot of coffee for myself. As the coffee was making itself I decided to make breakfast. I got out all the ingredients for pancakes, and decided to make eggs and bacon along with them. 'Today would be a perfect day for Family Day' I thought to myself as I came close to finishing breakfast. Once I was finished I started to wake my family; I thought it would be a great idea to start with Isabelle and Austin sense there the hardest to wake up. I went up the stairs and went to Austin's room first. When I opened the door I saw the usual, clothes on the floor. The walls covered with drawings and posters, no piece of wall could be seen. I smiled at the draws I saw; I must have seen them at least a thousand times but I always smiled when I see them. Pictures of super heroes that Austin's had drew reminded him so much of himself; I see similar in the way we draw and it make me happy he has a little piece of me in him. I also loved how he saved all the drawings I drew him when he was a little and they were all either framed handed up on the wall or they were in this big black photo album.

I continued to look to look around my son's room like I had never been in there and noticed his two clown fish in the tank. I smiled remembering the love Austin had for Finding Nemo.

"Mommy, Daddy, can I get fishy's?" asked a five year old Austin with his big brown eyes staring at his parents

"I don't know, do you think you can handle taking care of them?" asked Sam

"Yes, ill feed them everyday" nodded Austin

"But you have to clean there tank too sweetie, it's not just feeding them" added Mercedes

"Can you guys teach me and I'll do it on my own. I promise to take care of it. Please Mommy and Daddy, please!" asked Austin with pleading eyes

Sam and Mercedes looked at each other and Mercedes nodded to Sam giving him his okay with it. A small smile appeared on Sam's face and he looked at Austin preparing his mouth to give him a response.

"Okay, you can get fishy's" smiled Sam

"YES!" cheered Austin jumping up and down with a smile on his face

Sam and Mercedes laughed as they watched one of the little ones smile and cheer happily.

"What kind of fishy's do you want?" asked Mercedes

"I want Nemo and Marlin" smiled Austin

Sam chuckled "You mean clownfish?" he asked

"Yes, clownfish mommy" smiled Austin

Mercedes smiled "Okay what are you gonna name them?" she asked

"Marlin and Nemo. But we have to make sure one is bigga then da other…Oh and Nemo has to have one small fin" said Austin

Sam and Mercedes laughed "Okay, will do get your fishy's tomorrow and will tell the fish keepers exactly what you want" smiled Sam

"Now go tell your sisters" smiled Mercedes

Austin smiled and ran off to tell his big sisters "LIYAH, BELLS! I'M GETTIN' FISHY'S!" yelled Austin as he went up each step to get to his sisters.

I smiled at the memory of my son getting his fish. I'm surprised they were still alive; then again Austin took extremely good care of them the day he got them. I looked away from the fish and thought it would be a good idea to wake him up now. When I saw him he was on his bed laying the opposite way with his sketch book in front of him and his headphones still in his ears playing music. My son had fallen asleep sketching once again. I smiled because I remembered when I use to do that.

"Austin" I said in a normal voice hoping that would work but it didn't. I put a hand on my son's shoulder and began to shake him a little.

"Austin" I said a little louder and shaking him. Still no answer; was he out cold? Austin was such a heavy sleeper anything could happen and he would sleep through it.

"Austin!" I said a little louder than before and shaking him a little louder. He finally stirred and let out a groan.

"What…" he said in a sleepy voice

"Time to wake up, I have breakfast downstairs" I said

"10 more minutes "he groaned

"No come on, don't make me get my blow horn" I said knowing that would get him straight out of bed.

Austin sat up and rubbed his eyes "Okay, okay I'm up…Happy?" he asked

"Very, now brush your teeth then go eat" I said as I began to leave the room.

"Okay" he responded slowly getting out of bed

I left his room and went straight to Isabelle's room. When I opened the door I saw one of my princesses all the way up under the covers knowing she was curled up in a ball. Isabelle was known for making herself a cocoon when she slept. Instead of calling her name I thought of a faster way to get her up. I grabbed a fist full of cover in both of my hands and yanked it off the bed. Isabelle instantly shivered and opened her eyes.

"Daddy!" she yelled taking one of her pillows and using it as a shield from the light to cover her face.

"Rise and Shine Princess" I smiled

"Go away!" she said to me adding a groan at the end.

I couldn't help but smiled. One of the things Austin and Isabelle had in common was that they groaned when someone interrupted there sleep which they got from their mother and his sister. Stacy hated being woken up. I also had another reason to smile because Isabelle was so cute when she was curled up in a ball. This was something she had in common with Mary. They were both so small and I couldn't help but melt when I see them sleeping in there cocoon's.

"No, you have to wake up now. I have breakfast on the table" I said to her.

"No" she said; I could tell she was trying to stand her ground.

"I made pancakes" I said with a smirk on my face even though she couldn't see it.

I heard a long sigh from her then the next thing I heard was her voice "I'll be down in five minutes".

I smiled "Okay" I began to walk out of her room and head to Mary's room. When I got to Mary's room I grinned as I saw the license plate they said 'Mary' on her door. I opened the door and walked in to find my little princess in her big pink bed curled up in ball holding her childhood stuffed animal. The stuffed animal was a beat up monkey that Mary loved so dearly and that she took everywhere from the age 3 to 5. I went over to her bed to wake her and it took no time.

"Mar, wake up" I said shaking her a little and she instantly woke up.

Mary stretched in her bed and a small smile appeared on her face, "Good Morning Daddy".

"Morning Princess, I have breakfast downstairs waiting for you" I said pushing down her curls on her head as she sat up in her bed rubbing her eyes.

"Okay" she replied with a small smile.

I soon left her room to wake Aaliyah, when I got into her room she was already awake with a smile on her face with her phone in her hands.

"Morning Daddy" she said with a smile

"Morning Princess" I said with an arched eyebrow has I walked into her room and sat on her bed. "What are you doing up so early?" I asked

She smiled "Oh I just woke up like five minutes ago" she replied

I looked at her moving her fingers rapidly across her iphone with a small smile on her face as she talked to me. "Who are you texting?" I asked her

"Nathan" she replied with a smile on her face

"Oh right Nathan" I said rolling my eyes a little

"Hey, you said you liked him" she said with worried eyes.

"I do I just don't think he's good enough for you" I replied with a small smile

"Dad…" she said shaking her head a little

"It doesn't matter who you date, I will always think he's not good enough for you. That goes the same for Isabelle, Mary, and my new little princess coming as well" I said explaining myself to her.

"Well that's sweet, but Nathan is perfect" she said

"No one's perfect sweetheart…not even Isabelle" I said causing us to chuckle about Isabelle's perfectionist side.

She nodded and simply agreed with me "I smelled Bacon, did you make breakfast?" she asked

I smiled "I sure did! Your brother and sisters should be already down there. I'm gonna go wake your mother" I said

"Okay" she replied as she got out of bed.

I left Aaliyah's room and went straight back to my bedroom. When I got there my wife was still asleep. I genteelly work her and she stirred letting out a groan.

"What time is it?" she asked

"8:45" I replied sitting next to her on her side of the bed watching her rub her eyes and groan again as she woke up.

"I made breakfast, everyone's downstairs eating already…at least they better be" I added

"Okay I'll be there in a minute" she replied

"Kay" I said stealing a kiss from her lips

"SAM, I haven't even brush my teeth yet!" she yelled with a smile on her face

"I don't care, plus I love stealing kiss from you" I smiled

"You're crazy" she said and I couldn't help but grin because I knew exactly what I was going to say next.

"Don't say it, I know what your gonna say. You've been saying it for years" she yelled trying to stop me from saying it

"Crazy about you" I said with my famous lopsided grin

"Unbelievable" she said as she was finally getting out of the bed.

I went to her and wrapped my arms around her middle "I don't care how many years go by. I'm gonna say that line forever" I said kissing her nose afterwards

She let out a hum as her forehead softly hit my chin. "I love you" she said softly

"I love you too".

A couple of minutes had past and everyone was in the dining room eating there breakfast. I slowly ate as I watched the rest of my family eat. Mary looked so cute has she tried to put a big piece of pancake that was covered in syrup in her small mouth. I instantly remember the day she started eating solid foods.

"You wanna try giving her strawberries?" I asked my wife as she sipped her coffee

"I don't know" she replied. The same thing happened with Aaliyah, Isabelle, and Austin; she was always scared to start them off on solid foods. It all started when she was pregnant with Aaliyah and she was doing all her reading on babies along with myself. But Mercedes wasn't just reading books she was also reading online which the doctors told her was a BAD idea, but she continued to do it anyway. She ended up reading this horrible story about this little girl who was just starting on solid foods and she choked on a piece of cereal. The little girl lived because she was rushed to the hospital but that left a scar on Mercedes for life. Ever since then she has been scared to with starting solid foods with our little ones.

"Oh come one it's just strawberries" I said trying to soften her up

"Okay" she replied

I took two strawberries and cut them into small pieces. Once they were cut up I placed a piece on the tray of her highchair. Mary looked at it with a weird face for a moment but she soon picked it up and put it in her mouth. As soon as it was in her mouth a big smile spread across her face and a giggle escaped her mouth. I smiled because she looked just like Mercedes which made me melt. I gave her another piece after she finished the other one and it was a little bigger than the first. It wasn't big to the average person. But it was big enough for a baby.

"Sam, that's too big" said my wife with worry in her voice.

I turned and looked at her giving her a reinsuring look "Its fine I got her" I said.

I gave Mary her second piece and she immediately put it her mouth. Once again she smiled and let out a giggle. As she chewed she banged her hands on the tray of her highchair with a smile on her face as she chewed.

Mary was just as cute as she was back then. The only thing was she was bigger; she was seven but those seven years went by fast. I could have sworn that Mercedes had just had her yesterday but she didn't. It wasn't just Mary who was growing up, so were Isabelle, Aaliyah and Austin. Aaliyah is gonna be a senior next year. Isabelle just started High school, which was still crazy for me. And Austin had just started middle school which was also a little crazy as well. I was right before, today would be the perfect day for a family day. I wanted to spend some time with them; I'd rather stop the clock but this would be the closes thing I could get.

"So how do you guys feel about spending the day together?" I asked

My looked at me with a smile and said "I think that's a great idea"

"I'm up for it" said Aaliyah.

Mary looked at Austin and waited for his answer. "Sure" said Austin

Mary smiled "Me too" she said

The rest of the family and I looked at Isabelle "I'm in too" she said with a small smile.

"Good! Everyone be dressed and in the car in an hour" I said

"Daddy! Only an hour?" said my oldest with a shocked look on her face.

"Yes only an hour" I said

"Fine, I better go get started" she said leaving the table and going up the stairs to her room.

XXXX

An hour later everyone was in the driveway getting in the car. Once everyone was I the car I started it and started driving.

"Where are we going?" asked Mary

"You'll see" I said

Twenty minutes later we arrived at color me mine. When we got in there we got to a table and the women working there asked up what we wanted to decorate. My oldest choose a normal size mug, my second oldest choose giant mug that could be used for drinking for just for putting stuff in. My third oldest choose a plate. My youngest choose a dog bowl to make for Lucky. My wife choose a Mickey Mouse looking plate and I choose a vase. We held light conversation as we all painted out items. As I was painting I stopped for a second to watch Isabelle. She was really concentrating on her giant mug. She was doing this on-going line that never ended with black paint. The way she was so concentrated reminded me of a time we did a project together when she was little.

"Daddy, I'm bored" said four year old Isabelle

Aaliyah had left with Mercedes to go meet up with Rachel and Quinn so Summer, Jamie, and Aaliyah could play together at the park, and to have some girl time. Isabelle had been taken her nap when they left and Mercedes didn't want to wake her.

"Is that so…what do you wanna do princess" I said looking at her big brown eyes has I sat her on my lap.

"I don't know" she said shrugging her shoulder

"Why don't we make something?" I asked her

"Okay" she said getting off my life and running to my office knowing that's where we would do it at.

I got out some drawing paper and some pencils and sat them down on my desk. Isabelle climbed into my chair and got up on desk and sat on it. She made a pretzel with her legs and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil and began drawing. I sat in my chair and watched her draw for a moment. As she drew to what looked like an elephant; Isabelle's favorite animal. She hummed the intro to her favorite cartoon. As I watched her hum and draw I couldn't help but grin. The look on her face was full of concentration, she was really focusing on what she was doing, and it was the cutest thing ever. She must have felt me watching her cause she stopped drawing and looked at me.

"Daddy, why aren't you drawing?" she asked me with the sweetest look on her face

"I'm sorry princess, what do you want me to draw?" I asked

"Draw an elephant, Daddy" she said

"Okay, I'll draw an elephant" I said with a smile

As I continued to watch her concentrate and turn her mug as she paint. As she turned it I saw that she a drew an elephant on the front of the giant mug and was doing the ongoing line around it. Isabelle hadn't changed one bit since she was four. I went back to painting my vase and having conversations with everyone till Aaliyah had a beeping nose come from her iphone. When she looked at her phone she scrunched up her nose like Mercedes does. I began to remember the first time she made that face.

"I wanta try, I wanta try" said a three year old Aaliyah

The three of us were at the park having a picnic and I was eating some blueberries. From the looks of things Aaliyah wanted some, this was Aaliyah's first time having blueberries and I thought why not give them to her so she could try them.

"You want a blueberry?" I asked her

She nodded and looked at me with pleading eyes. I held out my hand for her to take some and she took two. She looked at both of them in her hand then looked at Mercedes and I. She took one and tried to hand it to Mercedes.

"Mommy doesn't like blueberries" said Mercedes. This was true ever since I've know Mercedes she hadn't like blueberries. She would eat something blueberry flavored but she wouldn't eat the fruit whole. She said she tried it when she was little and it was gross to her.

Aaliyah took back the blueberry and looked at it some more. After looking at it for a while she put it in her mouth. As soon as she put bit into it she scrunched up her nose and tried to spit it out. Mercedes and I instantly laughed when she scrunched her nose up. I found a napkin and helped her spit it out.

"Okay she defiantly got that face from you" I laughed

"Oh that was the cutest thing ever" said Mercedes still laughing.

"Well, we learned something today… Liyah doesn't like blueberries like her mommy" I said watching Aaliyah sticking her tongue in and out trying to get the taste out of her mouth.

The scrunched up nose hadn't been just a Mercedes and Aaliyah thing. It was an Evans thing, all four Evans girls did it, and Mercedes did it. Apparently I do it when I smile and Austin also did it when he smiled. I liked the fact that we had a thing we all did, scrunching our nose. The Evans nose scrunch! By the end of the say they were all done with their masterpieces. Mercedes had drawn Mickey Mouse's face in the plate that was shaped like him. Mary had painted the perfect bowl for Lucky by drawing all things lucky, four leaf clovers, horse shoes, and even the number seven all over the bowl. Austin had made a superhero themed plate. Isabelle's giant elephant and design mug was perfect and Aaliyah had painted a really nice mug that had nothing to do with her.

"Aaliyah, you don't like blueberries" I said with a confused look on my face

"I know, it's not for me. It's for Nathan, there his favorite fruit" she said with a smile

"Awe, it's so cute" said Mercedes

The mug had blueberries on it, a guitar, a football and some more of his favorite things.

"That's a really good guitar" said Mercedes looking at it closely

"Yeah, it took forever" she said letting out a dramatic sigh.

Later that night Mercedes and I were in our room getting ready for bed. I suddenly felt her run her hand all over my bare chest and arms.

"I had fun today" she said in a soft voice

"I'm glad you did" I replied as turned my body to look at her. As soon as I turned around she let go off me and waddled away.

"Where are you going?" I asked with a confused look on my face.

"I'll be back" she said as she left room.

I sat in our bed as I waited for her. When she came back she waddled back over to the bed and got in. When she got in the bed she sat in-between my legs leaning her back on my chest. In her hand was the vase I made today. I put my arms around her middle holding our babies as she held the vase I made.

"I really really like this" she said softly as she ran her fingers over my work. "I loved how you put our family only" she added

I had painted Mercedes and I name on it along without kids on it and along with our names were things that represented them or memories that had. There was a clownfish next to Austin's name, a strawberry next to Mary's name, an elephant next to Isabelle's name, a microphone next to Aaliyah's name, music notes next to Mercedes name, and a pencil next to mine. I didn't only put our four kid's names but I put our two kids on the way, and next to their names were hearts.

"Thank you" I said smiling while placing a kiss on her cheek.

Mercedes turned her head to look me in the eyes and when she did brown met green and our lips instantly touched.
