Stella's POV : it's been about a month since I had that crazy nightmare about my ex-husband and then a few days later we all sudden saw him in a park after 15 years, he told us that he was doing great which I'm happy . And now it's also been a month since we told her kids about a crazy past that we have together and apart. Right now Kinsley and Karter are 11 1/2 months old it's crazy that in a couple weeks they will be turning one years old. It seems like yesterday they made an unexpected arrival into this world. Right now the older three kids are at their summer camp which they love. In the younger ones are taking a nap so me and Kelly are cleaning the house up

K= so I have been thinking about something
S= you have what about Kelly
K= well for one I'm tired of always cleaning up the house
S= couldn't agree more
K= so since shay, salior and Luna are old enough I think it's time they start doing chores like making a bed cleaning up the living room and others things randomly, so what do you think
S= I think that's a good idea maybe make a chore chart every week also if they do a tour without being asked to do it did they earn some money.
K= that's good so once we get this house in order we will make them a chore chart
S= all right let's get ti cleaning
K= let's make it a game whoever gets it done first will get a nice foot massage tonight
S= Who I like the way you think you are so on

Me and Kelly ways to see if you can clean up the house first I have course win so once we were done we worked on the chores chart until the twins and Greyson woke up from their nap. Once they woke up we spent some time with them before the other three got out of camp, so we decided to head to the zoo for a little bit about 2 1/2 later we were all back home.

K= so kids how was camp today
SG= it was awesome
SM= totally we got to have a water balloon fight today
LM= I had fun I didn't even pick up my book today
S= that's pretty cool Luna
K= so kids while you guys were at summer camp me and mommy did something
SG= what did you do daddy
K= we decided that you kids should start learning to be responsible
S= so we think you guys should start doing chores around the house and you will earn some money for doing your chores
K= how does that sound kids
SM= i'm fine with it
LM= same here
SG= oh money
S= you're funny sailor
K= all right go get cleaned up for dinner
SM= all right
S= that went well
K= oh yeah
S= let's start the chore chart tonight
K= oh yeah let the fun begin

We ate dinner and talked about the tours we want the kids to do and assign them the first couple. for the next few days. The kids started to do their chores without much guidance. The next day I was on shift while Kelly was in his office I was out in the kitchen eating lunch with everyone else

H= So Stella I heard that you and Kelly start a Chore chart with the kids the other day
S= yes we did
O= so how is it going
S= not too bad
H= wow my kids did horrible at the chore chart
S= they are doing good enough they even earn money that they will save for later
CZ= wow that's pretty cool
H= dang my kids would have already spent it on candy
MC= well Herman that's because your kids aren't as well behaved a Stella and Kelly's kids are
O= Oh man
S= so since you guys are all here and Kelly isn't I have a question for you guys
CZ= sure what's up
O= what's up Stella
M= what could we do
S= so you know how Father's Day is coming up on Sunday
H= oh you're the best day ever
MC= what about it
S= so I am trying to think of a gift I can get Kelly that's a very big gift but I need help to figure it out what to get him
CZ= how about a watch
S= I already gave him one
M= what about a trip with just the two of you
S= that would be great but right now our life is crazy and we don't have time to get away just the two of us
O= wow I think Kelly gets everything he ever wanted so good luck
S= dang you guys are no help
H= sorry Stella
S= it's all right
( walks away)
MC= hey Stella wait up a second
S= yeah what's up Matt
MC= so I have an idea for Kelly's Father's Day gift
S= you do what
MC= so whenever me and Kelly hang out he always mentions something he wants to have
S= he has what is it
MC= so first fall he loves his kids and you so much
S= okay
MC= he says he kind of misses his sports car that he had, before the girls came I know it would be to Spenseth gift but maybe buy him a sports car so he doesn't always have to take a car that has a lot of seats in it
S= that's not a bad idea Matt
MC= why thank you
S= i'll think about it he hasn't had a car for himself in a few years
MC= i'm glad to help
S= same here

Over the next couple days I start thinking if I should get Kelly sports car and what kind and figure out the numbers for if we can afford it

Kelly's pov: it's been a month since Stella had her weird nightmare about Grant and we happened to see him a few days later which was kind of weird and funny at the same time. To be honest it was nice to see him looking good and being good. It's also been a month since we told the kids the whole truth about what our past was like before them, i'm glad that the age so I can understand everything. The twins are 11 1/2 months old it's crazy in the next two weeks I will be a year old, right now it's a night before Father's Day luckily we have tomorrow off so the kids have gone to bed about 30 minutes ago

K= can you believe how well the kids have done with the chore chart
S= I know I thought for sure we would have one kid who would not like it at all
K= and I bet that kid that would cause problems would be Miss sailor
S= that is fire sure
K= too bad we couldn't start it any sooner than now
S= tell me about it I wouldn't have to clean up as much as I did in the last few months then right now
K= that is for sure can you believe in about two weeks we will have no more babies in this household
S= don't mention it at all each time I think about it I want to cry
K= don't blame you there
S= but to think about it now we need to start planning it their first birthday
K= that is for sure
S= I wanna any of your family will make a surprise visit for the birthday this year
K= I bet it will be all of them
S= that is for sure so before we go to bed any special request for the Father's Day breakfast in the morning
K= no not really maybe bacon
S= all right bacon works for me let's go to bed
K= all right let's go

We head off to bed the next morning I get to sleep in or at least try my best to sleep in as I'm laying in bed relaxing I hear Stella and the kids making me some food, about 20 minutes later I hear them all coming toward the bedroom

All= happy Father's Day daddy
S= happy Father's Day babe
K= no thank you babe so what did you guys make me breakfast it smells so good in here
SG= well I help make the bacon
LM= I help make the pancakes
SM= all I did was pour the orange juice
K= well you did a good job shay
S= how about you kids go get your plates
SG= wait we can eat in here
LM= we never get to eat in here before
K= well today is a special day so go get your plate kids
SM= all right dad ( they leave)
K= where are the twins
S= they are still sleep
K= well that's surprising
S= oh yeah ( hears them) I guess they heard us and want to join us so be right back
K= all right
S= okay

Well Stella went to go grab the twins other kids came back into the room with their plates and started eating their food about five minutes later Stella comes back in with the twins and we all just hung out together while enjoying our breakfast. After we get done eating the kids show me their Father's Day cards they made me in summer camp. About 45 minutes later there's knocking on the door

K= Who is that knocking this early in the morning and on Father's Day
S= Who knows I'll go check stay here with Dad kids
SM= all right mom
S= (
at the door) hello how may I help you
DG= I got a delivery of a car for Stella severide
S= oh yeah that's for me thank you
DG= it's no problem just sign here
S=

DG= thank you and have a great day
S= you too see you
( he leaves and Stella goes back into the bedroom )
K= so who was that
S= nobody special
K= All right
S= hey kids can you bring your plates to the kitchen
LM= yes we can Mom
( they leave)
K= so I'm guessing you won't let me do the dishes at all today
S= no I won't
K= figured so
S= well since it's Father's Day I got you a present
K= you did I don't need anything besides you and these kids
(tickles Karter)
KN= dada
S= wait a minute did he joke
K= I think he did come on Karter say that again
KN= dada
S= oh my God his first word was dada
K= He must love me I wonder if Kinsley will say dada too
S= I think she'll say mommy first
K= Who knows a Kinsley do you want to say any
KF= dada
S= no way say mama Kinsley
KF= dada
K= I guess she loves me more right now
S= or maybe she knows it's Father's Day and only wanted to say it to make your day better
K= that's possible but anyways you said something about a present so what is it
S= well for one it's nothing I can hand you
K= so something big
S= oh yeah which means you have to get blindfolded before you can see it
K= really Stella again with a blindfold
S= yes really
K= well at least I know the person isn't about having another baby
S= thank God believe me I love our kids but after the pregnancy with these two I'm glad we are done having kids
K= couldn't agree more I guess you can put the blindfold on me
S= all right take Kinsley
K= all right ( he does and gets blindfolded) now what
S= just start walking I'll lead the way
K= please don't let me run into things
S= Kelly of course I want to do that to you

Stella leads me around the house and we end up going outside

SM= oh my God Mom is that ...
S= shh That's daddy's surprise don't say anything
SG= we won't mom
LM= it's so cool
K= okay It's not for everyone has seen it already can I please take this plan for up
S= on a count of three 3...2...1 you can take the blindfold off now
K= ( he takes it off ) no way a car you got me a car
S= happy Father's Day babe
K= are you kidding me this is like the car that I...
S= like the one you had when we were pregnant with the girls and you gave it away to get a bigger car for the family
K= why did you do this
S= well I know how much you loved having this car or a car like this years ago but then you were sad about giving it away, so I decided since you've done so much for this family that I will get you something and I came up with getting your car
K= you really are the best
S= I know I am how would you like to take it for a ride around the block
SM= can I join Dad to drive a van
SG= can I please too mommy
LM= me too
S= that's up to daddy since it's his present
K= How about this I take each of you on the block and then once you all had your turn I will go by myself
All= all right

I take each of the kids around the block in my new car then I take a little drive myself I can't believe Stella bought me this car for Father's Day. When I got back we all FaceTime my dad to say happy Father's Day and also called Jackson to wish him a happy first Father's Day later that night I think Stella the best way I can for the car that she got me.
