I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in forever but school is kicking my butt! My senior year is a bit crazy. I haven't written anything in 2 weeks! I'm taking AP Calculus and that is ridiculously hard so I apologize for not writing or updating. I hope you like this chapter and let me know what you think! I hope you missed me =]
Here's a skip. Dani is still pregnant and is 8 months pregnant. The triplets are 2 and a half and Emmy is 7. The next chapter will be when the new baby arrives. This is just how I planned it.
"Kendall, can you rub my feet please?" Dani asked. I was trying to help Ben button his shirt.
"Give me a minute."
"Daddy, can you take me to dance class?" Emmy asked.
"Can't you miss one class?"
"No, we're being fitted for costumes."
"Go to the car." I mumbled as Dani groaned.
"Kenny, can you pick up some chips for me please?"
"I'll do that on my way home from dance class." I said as I finally got Ben's shirt buttoned.
"Daddy, will you play with me?" Monroe asked.
"When I get home I will."
"Soccer?" Noah asked with big eyes.
"When I get home." I grabbed the keys and quickly headed to the car.
"I thought you forgot about me." Emmy mumbled.
"I could never do that." I said as I drove her to the dance studio.
"Pick me up at 6."
"Got it. Love you." I kissed her goodbye then made sure she made it into the studio safely. I drove home to see the house in utter chaos.
"What's going on here?"
"I tried to get Noah to stop playing soccer but he kicked the ball and it hit my stomach."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It hit my chest more. He's in time out."
"Why is there cereal everywhere?"
"Ben knocked it over."
"Why is Monroe covered in your makeup?"
"She didn't listen to me and put on my lipstick. I tried Kendall but it's hard."
"I know, let me clean everything up then I'll rub your feet."
"Where are my chips?"
"I forgot, I'm sorry."
"But I really wanted chips Kenny. That's all I wanted. Please?"
"Do I have to?"
"Please, I've carried your children and I'm a good wife, the least you can do is get me chips."
"Soccer?" Noah asked.
"I'll be right back then I'll play." I grabbed my keys, quickly grabbed many bags of chips because Dani's cravings changed a lot and I didn't want to upset her. I drove back home, handed the chips to my wife and then started kicking the ball back and forth with Noah.
"Daddy, my ears hurt." Ben complained.
"Go to the bathroom and I'll be up in a minute to help you." Monroe came over with her dolls and I closed my eyes so I couldn't roll them.
"Play ball with Noah and then I'll be back to play."
"Hey Kendall…"
"What?" I said a bit harshly.
"Thank you for everything. I love you."
"I love you too." I gave a small smile and then went upstairs to help Ben.
"Which ear?"
"Left one." I poured some drops in and added some pressure to it until Ben told me it felt better.
"Thank you." He said as he hugged me.
"No problem." I kissed his head and he ran downstairs to play. I followed and started playing dollies with Monroe.
"Can you cook tonight? I would but I'm having some Braxton-Hicks and I'm really uncomfortable." Dani said.
"I'll go make some chicken." I sighed I went and started working in the kitchen. About twenty minutes later I heard the door open and saw a pouting Emmy and James walk in.
"Oh my God, I forgot. I'm so sorry Emmy."
"It's okay." She went to upstairs to put her dance stuff away.
"Thanks man." I nodded towards James and he smiled.
"It's fine. I didn't know who was calling at first but I figured it out."
"Are you staying for dinner?" Dani asked as she approached. James reached out and rubbed her belly while nodding.
"I could eat."
"Where's Lucy?"
"Business trip to Boston. I was going to go eat a bowl of cereal but I'd rather eat here."
"Cool, kids, go wash your hands." I called out and Dani came in and sat.
"How're the contractions?"
"It's fine at the moment."
"Good, so James, when will I be an uncle?" I sent a smirk towards him as I dished out the chicken.
"Soon hopefully. We're gonna' try really hard after she gets back."
"I'm so excited." Dani said as the kids came running in.
"Daddy, can you get me juice?"
"Daddy, I need you to sign a paper for my class."
"Daddy, can you cut my chicken?"
"Daddy, can we watch Nemo later?"
"Oh my God! I'm just one person. Give me a fucking break." I yelled. Everyone looked at me funny and Dani raised an eyebrow.
"You said a bad word." Emmy said.
"Kids, you guys know not to say that word right?" They all nodded but didn't say anything the rest of dinner.
"Why don't you go with Uncle James and go play. Mommy and daddy will be in in a few." They all nodded and Emmy helped put their plates in the sink and James led them into the other room.
"I'm sorry about cursing."
"I don't mind that but what's going on with you? Are you okay? Am I doing anything wrong?"
"It's nothing you can help. I just feel really stretched thin. I have to make sure you're okay and make sure the kids are happy and I'm a little stressed."
"Do you need a break?"
"I'd love a break." I muttered as she came behind me and started rubbing my shoulders.
"How about tomorrow, you and the guys go out and I'll spend some time with your mom."
"That sounds amazing."
"I know I'm not that helpful right now but as soon as this baby is born, I'll be supermom and you can be lazy dad." She giggled and I nodded.
"I want to be super-dad." I pouted.
"You can be spider-dad." She smiled. She knew that was my favorite superhero.
"Why don't you go lay down and I'll clean up the kitchen and get the kids ready for bed."
"What about James?"
"He can help me and then he'll leave and I'll be up to snuggle which we haven't done in a while."
"Love you." I leaned down and kissed her. I was heading out of this kitchen when she grabbed my wrist.
"Thank you."
"No problem." I smiled.
Please review! I don't know when I'll update again but I'm hoping Friday!
