Javier carried two screaming children through the airport while Tomas led two screaming girls. People stared as they struggled with the crying kids. Javier and the kids boarded the plane. They took their seats and sat through a four and a ½-hour plane ride.
Tomas and Javier managed to calm down Javi, Josephine, Juliana, and Adrianna by the time they landed in St. Louis. They picked up their three bags of luggage and left the airport. After checking into Holiday Inn, Javier began looking into getting a job and finding a school for Tomas, Juliana, and Josephine. Adrianna was still too young for school. The clerk gave him a newspaper and he took the kids to the room. Javier decided that the twins and Adrianna would share a bed. Tomas would sleep on the couch. Javi had a small crib. Javier took the other bed. Javier called around looking for a school. After enrolling 3 of his 5 kids in a free Christian school, he began scouring the paper for jobs. He set up an interview at the hospital and decided to splurge and take his kids to McDonalds.
"Kids, get ready for school," Javier said, waking his children at 7:00.
'Papa, it's too early,' Josephine called, rolling over.
"Josie, we're in America, we speak English here," Javier beamed. "I know you know some and what you don't you will learn in school."
Twenty minutes later, Tomas and the twins were ready for school. Adrianna and Javi were also awake as Javier rushed everyone out the door. He carried Javi and held Adrianna's hand was he led Tomas and the twins to the school. He proudly checked them in at the school office.
"Well, you must me Mr. Suarez," Mrs. O'Brian, the school secretary said as Javier led his kids in the office. "Just sign here and your kids will be in good hands."
"Thank you, Mrs. O'Brian," Javier said with a smile. "This is my son, Tomas and my twin daughters are Juliana and Josephine. These are my little ones, Adrianna and Javier Jr."
"It's nice to meet y'all!"
Mrs. O'Brian led Tomas and the twins to the classroom and Javier took his other children back to the hotel where they stayed in the hotel nursery. He then set off for his job interview. Little to Javier's knowledge, he was going to find more than just a job opportunity.
