Hey guys, sorry i didn't update in a while, and then did a really short chapter, i was away last weekend for Easter at a huge Christian camp with the kids from my youth group, so i didn't have any time to do much. I'm still going ahead with this storyline, but i'm in the middle of writing a story about a shooting at Mason's school so just comment in the reviews if you want me to publish that one as well :D Cheers, Sydney.
Note: This chapter has jumped three years, so the triplets are six and Mason is sixteen. (As someone so sassily told me there is ten years between the triplets and Mason, not nine and a bit. Rude.)
"Mom. Can you tell the girls to leave me alone? I'm trying to do my homework." Mason asked Charlotte as he sat at the kitchen counter with his worksheets spread out in front of him. All three of his sisters were trying to climb up next to him and grab him, making him super annoyed. Charlotte turned around from the dinner she was making and gave her triplets a stern look. "Girls, stop lovin' on your brother. Go play in your room until dinner." She told them and they all stood back and left Mason alone obediently. Georgia was the first one to run out of the room and was followed quickly by the other two. Charlotte smiled at Mason and ruffled his hair, making him frown and try to duck out of the way. Charlotte ignored his complaints and kissed his forehead, looking over his shoulder at the work he was attempting. "AP Biology. Need any help?" She asked, already knowing that he didn't need any help with anything science or math related. Any worries Mason had a few years ago about not being smart enough to be a doctor were long gone. He was only sixteen and would be ready to graduate from high school in a matter of months. He shook his head, but looked up at Charlotte. "When will dad be home? He asked simply, chewing on his pencil. Charlotte gently took the pencil from Masons mouth and set it down on the counter. "Do you know how many kids get lead poisoning from chewin' on the ends of their pencils?" She told him off lightly. "He should be here any minute." She told Mason. They both heard the front door unlock and footsteps enter the house as soon as she spoke. "Speak of the devil.." She grinned at Mason, walking out off the kitchen to greet her husband.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips, giving him a hug as she did so. She smiled as she let him go and took his briefcase from him. "How was work?" She asked him, curious as to what happened at the practice on her day off. Coop shrugged and sat down next to Mason , stealing a chip from the bag next to him. "Okay. Addison and Sam are fighting again. But, other than that, it was business as usual." He nudged Mason and grinned. "How was school today?" He asked and Mason returned his question with a shrug similar to his dads. "Okay. I really need to concentrate on this though." He hinted, turning back to his work. Cooper pulled a face at Charlotte and stood up, making her laugh. "Where are my girls? And why are they being so quiet? " He asked suspiciously. Charlotte pointed to the roof and bit her lip. "They were bein' annoyin' so i sent them to play up stairs until dinner."
