Chapter 29 -Birthday Blues-
"Look, Teddy, Honey, I know it's sad we're nearing an end, but it comes with every child, no matter who it is and who the parents are. It's life."
"Spence, y- you don't g- g- get it! They're m- my l- little b- babies! I- I can't take it anymore!" I was now screaming in between sobs. The truth was, Olivia and Xander are almost 1. They're almost 1. I can't take it. It seemed like yesterday that we were bring home Olivia and Xander. And we decided that we weren't going to call them 'the twins'. Because they won't want to be called that when they are in school. It's the truth.
"Honey, I know it's hard, but listen, I'll help you. Just for now, let's get ready to go to Toby's birthday party, okay?"
"Okay, I'll get Olivia and Xander ready. They n-"
"No you're not, I'll get them ready, you get yourself ready, you haven't even took a shower yet… Okay?"
"Okay."
I was now ready to go. And I walked in to see Olivia and Xander running around, and Spencer holding their clothes.
"Olivia, Xander, please let me dress you."
"No!" They both shouted.
"Teddy, will you stop standing there laughing and help me?"
"Sorry, I am not supposed to do that, remember?"
"Please?! And that was when you weren't ready!"
"Okay, I'll help you… As soon as I get the camera!"
"Ugh! Teddy! Not helping!"
"Hey, Charlie! It's your big sister, Teddy, here. And this is what happens when a mom doesn't dress her kid or kids." I said laughing and pointing the camera to the rest of the family, my family, mine. I don't know why, but that is still weird for me to say that.
"Will you just do your diary later? I need some help, here."
"Spence, watch, and, learn… Olivia? Will you please let me put your clothes on?"
"Okay, mommy."
"Thank you."
"You welcome."
"Xander? Will you let daddy put your clothes on?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"I want mommy do it!"
"See? My son doesn't even like me."
"Xander, you hurt daddy's feelings. I am busy with your sister, please? For mommy?"
"Okay…"
"Thank you!"
"You welcome mommy!"
"Since when did you get so smart?"
"Cause I 1!"
"No, you are 10 months old silly!"
"Oh!"
"Yeah, Spence, dress him. Olivia and I are ready, and we're girls."
"Yeah! We girlses!"
"Well, sorry."
"It's okay Spence. It's okay…"
"I know…"
Well, we did get to the party a little late, but we didn't miss the presents, cake, ice cream, or cake in face part of the party… So that's a plus.
"Hi mom!"
"Hi Teddy! How are the twi-"
"Actually, mom, we don't call them that anymore. They are completely, and I mean completely, different. Not that that's a bad thing. So we call them by their names, Olivia and Xander."
"Okay. Well, Toby is going to open presents, so get your camera at the ready."
"Haha, okay. Will do."
"Teddy?" At first, I thought one of my kids called me Teddy, but then I realized it was my 3 year old sister, Charlie.
"Yes Charlie?"
"Why don't I get presents?"
"Because, It's Toby's birthday, not yours."
"When are they taking Toby back?"
"Toby is going to live here until he moves out. Trust me, I've tried with Gabe, but it doesn't work. He is your brother."
"Okay. Well, I am going to be bad, cause Toby will get payback and cause I don't like him!"
"What Charlie?"
"Nothing."
"What was that Teddy?"
"Oh, it was just something that little ones always go through when they've got a new little sibling. It's okay though mom, I handled it."
"Oh, okay."
"Okay, let's let him open presents!"
"Cake!" Olivia and Xander shouted.
"Nnnooo!" Everyone shouted in kind of a slow motion way. Yep, Olivia and Xander we going for it. They were going for the cake. Next thing you know, cake was on the floor, Olivia and Xander sitting on the floor covered in it, Toby was crying, Charlie was starring at Olivia and Xander with a wide eyed face, Gabe was laughing, PJ was also laughing, dad was trying to calm down Toby, as was mom, the guests were acting like we are bad parents, Spencer was starring at me, I was watching the whole scene. I am a horrible mom. When my kids are growing up they'll tell all their friends; 'Yeah, our mom got pregnant at like, 16. And when we were 10 months old, we wrecked our uncle's birthday cake. And we are a disgrace.' But they won't be saying that to their friends, because they won't have any because of me! And now, I was crying. Well, tearing up.
"I am so so SO sorry mom, I feel horrible, I am a horrible mom."
"No you aren't, I messed up a lot more than you did. And you're okay."
"Yeah, me."
"Anyway, don't let that bother you. The world's best mom makes the most mistakes."
"Then you must be the universe's best mom. Cause you messed up, A LOT."
"Yeah, yeah, make fun of me. Go ahead."
"Sorry, I just couldn't resist."
"It's okay."
"We'll buy Toby the exactly same cake."
"No, you're parents in training, not expert parents."
"Yet?"
"Uh, yeah, yet."
"Ha, ha. Funny. Anyway, so, it's okay?"
"Yes, of course, at least we have something to put on YouTube. You've heard of Charlie going viral, now it's Xander and Olivia that are going viral."
"Haha! Hear that kids?"
"What?"
"You guys are going VIRAL!"
"What's that?"
"It's kind of where your are popular on the internet."
"Cool!"
"Haha."
A few hours later Toby was shoving cake in his face, (although, PJ probably had more on his face than Toby,) everyone else was eating cake, then everyone started to leave, as was PJ. And then everyone was gone except me Spence, Olivia, Xander, mom, dad, Charlie, and Gabe…
"Next time, you might not want to set the cake on the coffee table, mom."
"Teddy, I promise you, I did not put the cake on the coffee table. Wait a minute, Gabriel Duncan, get your butt down here." As he started up the stairs.
"What?"
"What you did was un called for."
"I did not do anything, I swear!"
"Well then who did it?"
"She! Her!" As Toby pointed to Charlie. It now makes sense. It was the little one that was for Toby, so it wasn't heavy, and Charlie was saying that she was going to be bad because she didn't like Toby.
"It makes sense now. Because the conversation with Charlie and I went like this;
" 'Teddy?' Charlie said to me."
" 'Yes Charlie?' I answered back."
" 'Why don't I get presents?' "
" 'Because, It's Toby's birthday, not yours.' "
" 'When are they taking Toby back?' "
" 'Toby is going to live here until he moves out. Trust me, I've tried with Gabe, but it doesn't work. He is your brother.' "
"Teddy! Hurtful!" Gabe said interrupting like always.
"Shh!" I said in hoping he would shut up for at least 10 seconds.
" 'Okay. Well, I am going to be bad, cause Toby will get payback and cause I don't like him!' "
" 'What Charlie?' "
" 'Nothing.' And that's when mom came in."
"Okay. But, how'd she do it without getting in trouble?"
"Mom, she's like me, smart."
"Oh, okay?"
"Anyway, that's what happened in our conversation."
"Charlie, why did you do it?"
"Cause I thought Toby wouldn't get presents and cake then."
"Well, Charlie, you need to apologize for getting your niece and nephew in trouble. And to Toby."
"I am sorry Olivia."
"I am sorry Xander."
There was a pause.
"Charlie?"
"What?"
"Apologize to Toby."
"Sorry Toby. Whatever."
"Charlie."
"I am sorry Toby."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome mom."
Well, that was a littl longer, hope you enjoied it! Sorry for bad grammer and/or spelling, I am really tired, and I am trying to get this done as fast as I can.
I am going to ask it...
