A/N: Story Prompt: from wattpad's Valentine's story idea

Muse A and Muse B don't have plans for a traditionally romantic Valentine's Day this year. They thought it'd be nice to stay home and spend quality time with their loved ones instead. Muse A and Muse B make a whole day about family togetherness, sharing poorly-made homemade cards, playing games with valentine's chocolates that no one will eat, and finding cute little ways to make one another feel appreciated.

Summary: Bailey draws realistic hearts, while Zola complains about not having pink paper for Valentine's crafts.

"Mom, do you have any pink paper?" Zola asks.

"No," Meredith replies. The craft supplies are generally used by Maggie and Amelia, definitely not her strong suit.

"I need pink paper! My Valentine's need pink! But I don't have any."

"Where is the paper stored?" Meredith asks as she tries to finish making quesadillas.

"But there isn't any pink in here," Zola whines.

"Then we probably don't have any. Text Auntie Amy and ask her to stop on her way home," Meredith says as she finishes prepping the veggies for dinner. She places two more soft cooked apple pieces on the tray for Scout.

"But mom," Zola continues.

"Either text your aunt, or head to bed," Meredith states, done with the whining.

"Here's more apple, cutie," she says to Scout. He giggles and smiles and is very happy with his pre-dinner snack.

"Bailey, can you put your homework away so we can have dinner?" Meredith asks.

"Yes mom," he answers.

"Are you finished?" she asks.

"I have to finish drawing the body, I haven't labelled all the organs. Can I do that after dinner?" he asks.

"Definitely," she says, wiping down the table and bringing the plates to the table.

After the first round of dinner was finished, dishes loaded into the dishwasher, Meredith pops the next set of quesadillas in the oven for Amelia, Maggie and Link who would be home within moments.

"Mom, can I work at the table again?" Bailey asks, looking at his aunts and Link sitting at the table.

"I'm sure they won't mind, why don't you ask them. I'm taking Scout upstairs for a bath," Meredith says. Meredith barely hears Bailey as he runs off to the kitchen and hears Link chatting with her son. Meredith finishes bathing Scout, slipping him into a pair of red Valentine's PJs that say "My First Valentine's ~ Kiss Me" on them before taking him downstairs to his parents.

Zola comes racing downstairs saying, "Auntie Maggie! Auntie Amy! Did you grab pink paper?"

"Yes Zola, we stopped on our way home," Maggie answers.

"Thank you. Mom wasn't helpful," Zola answers.

"What did mom say?" Maggie asks.

"She told me to look in the paper drawer," Zola grumbles.

"Your mom was making dinner, feeding Scout, and helping Bailey. You know where the paper is, so why are you angry with her," Maggie replies.

"She should know I need pink paper, it's Valentine's Day," Zola continues.

"Zola, you need to ask in advance if you need special supplies. Let's go work in the playroom," Maggie says, taking the craft supplies off to the table in the playroom. Maggie works with Zola on her Valentine's cards and chats with her niece reminding her to use her nice voice.

Meredith walks past Maggie dealing with her oldest. She does the best with Zola's current attitude and is often able to turn around her moods. Walking into the kitchen as soon as Scout sees Amelia, he yells, "Ma-ma! Ma-Ma!"

"I think this one is yours!" Meredith says handing Scout to Amelia.

"Is that new pajamas?" Link asks.

"Yes," Meredith replies, heading to stand behind Bailey to look at his homework.

"They are amazing. Thanks Mer," Amelia says.

"Thanks for bringing him home early today," Link adds.

"We had fun. We went pajama shopping, picked up the groceries, and then got the older three from school. Since it wasn't raining we played at the park. He loved the swing. Once home I made dinner while he ate apples, and then we sat down for dinner. He had his bath while you ate," Meredith describes.

"And this was your afternoon off?" Link jokes.

"All in the life of a parent. You've done your share with all four of them," she returns.

"Wow, Bailey! Amazing drawing," she says. Although only in grade 2 Bailey loves drawing realistic representations of the organs in humans and has drawn a human heart in the middle of his homework.

"That is what a heart looks like. I don't do pink hearts like for Valentine's," he complains.

"I think that's perfect, kiddo," Link says looking at Bailey's detailed drawings in his science homework package.
