As soon as I finished with my shower I made my way to Junjun's room, seeing that she was still talking on the phone.
"Jun, go to bed….you can use Ayame as an excuse not to talk to your granny tomorrow." I stated and she sighed.
"Do I have to go to sleep? Can't I stay up with you and daddy?" Junjun stated with a small pout and I laughed.
"Sorry June bug. But you're still only a little girl…..you need sleep." I answered, causing her to sigh.
"Can Me at least text Ayame goodnight?" she asked and I sighed.
"Text her goodnight then hand me the phone okay baby girl?" I replied and she sighed but nodded.
Once she had tossed me the phone I pulled the blankets up around her and kissed her on the forehead. "Goodnight Jun." I whispered and she smiled slightly as she glanced up at me.
"Night momma, love ya." She stated and I smiled a bit, still not use to being called that.
"Love you too little monkey." I replied surprised at how light my voice sounded.
As I walked toward the door and went to flip off the light I heard her whisper
"Can you leave the hall light on mom? Please?"
I couldn't help but chuckle a bit "sure love, but you and your sisters owe me an explanation for these fears you have but only when you're ready." I answered as I turned off the light to her room and headed toward Cerecere's room.
"Hey, you in bed love?" I called and she glared at me.
"Yeah momma." She answered me and I smiled a bit as I entered the room and handed her phone to her and kissed her hair.
"Go on to sleep okay? And sleep on your phone so Junjun don't try to steal it tonight." I chuckled causing her to smile.
"Okay mom, goodnight." She replied with a yawn
"Love you squirt goodnight." I retorted before heading to Vesves's room.
She was sitting on the bed, playing with a handheld game when I walked in.
"You brat." I growled as I wrapped my arms around her from behind.
"Don't hurt me, I'm sorry!" she squealed as I began to tickle her.
"I should hurt you little brat." I hissed as I pushed her unto the bed and then pulled the covers up around her neck.
"No more pranks okay firefly?" I stated before kissing her on the forehead.
"Okay no more pranks…..inside." she retorted cheekily and I laughed as I tickled her a bit more.
"Unless you clean it up little runt." I stated with a smile as I stood up and then walked over to where the light switch was and then asked "lights on or off?"
My red haired child smiled sheepishly and asked "can you leave it on Ma?"
I chuckled and turned the main light off before flipping on the lamp on the table.
"Night runt. Love you." I chuckled and I heard her mutter "you too." In reply.
Just as I was getting to Parapara's room Yaten was leaving "she's waiting on you…I got a call from Michiru….they're going home and they get to keep Elena, who is wrecked up." The silver haired teen answered and I sighed.
"I'll go visit them tomorrow, they need rest." I answered and she smiled a bit
"You did well today, you held together for your family." Yaten stated with a smirk as she knelt down and ran her hand over Aries's head.
"Nice to see you again Aries. This dummy finally stared acting decent?" she stated and the cat nodded.
I left the two and headed into Parapara's room, seeing that she was already in bed but looking over the covers, waiting on either me or her father one to come tuck her in.
"Hey little one, you enjoy talking to Yaten?" I asked and she smiled.
"uh-huh." She muttered tiredly and I tucked her in and then kissed her on the forehead and sighed "good night sweetheart." I whispered and she smiled lightly "night momma….love you." she said as she faded into sleep.
"You know, you're getting better at this parenting thing." Danny stated with a smile and I chuckled
"I hope so, they deserve a safe environment to grow up in…I mean three put of the four of them are scared of the dark and if you raise your voice at them they emotionally shut down. I wish I could help them heal from whatever happened before." I admitted as I let my husband wrap his arm around my shoulders and lead me out of the room.
