"Yes I know its short notice-Everything is in order and I'll drop off your purchase before I leave…I understand. Yes sir I know, excuse me for a moment please." Pulling the cellphone away from her ear, her hand covered the pin hole sized microphone. "Boys, please, I'm on the phone and the baby is sleeping. Why don't you guys go play in your rooms or watch a movie?" Rebecca watched as the eldest boy usher the other two into his room. If anyone saw this, they would never think that all three boys had special needs or ever attended special education classes. Bringing the phone back up to her ear, she spoke into it again.
"Hello, are you still there? I'm sorry about that-tomorrow? No I can't, I have just one more days' worth of packing. I can deliver either tonight or the day after tomorrow-It's a two-three day trip. I see, I will be starting to ship over mail. Oh…I see…hnmmmm. " She listened to the voice on the other line as her fingers danced across the computer buttons. "According to my notes, you already made the final payments. I can defiantly deliver this afternoon. I'll be there anywhere from 12:30 to 1:00. Is that going to be fine? Great. Mhnmm,…yes I have the address written down. Yes thank you, have a wonderful day as well. Bye bye now."
Sighing in relief, she set her phone down onto the desk having dealt with the final client on her list. The house was mostly packed save for one room. One she had been dreading to touch, but everything was arranged making the room unavoidable now. The house was up for sale for only a month and it was already bought, the custody papers signed many months ago where packed neatly away. The schools informed that they were moving, the new home bought and ready for when they get there, her business and customers aware about the move, and a colleague of hers helping out with the moving the things that wouldn't be able to fit in the van.
"Tonight when everyone is asleep I'll pack that room. Then tomorrow will be a fun day before the long drive." She muttered to herself. Glancing at the watch on her wrist a groan escaped. "I'm so tired." Yelling and crying erupted within a split second, causing Rebecca to hurry to the bedrooms.
"Boys enough! You woke Melody!" The woman called seeing the one year old running out crying. "DAMIAN AND THOMAS KNOCK IT OFF!" Rebecca yelled now standing outside of the bedroom door. Joseph sat on his bed, rambling about how they need to share the pillow.
Taking a deep breath she calmed her nerves. Yelling wasn't going to do much. This she witnessed many times when their father was alive. "Alright Elf, what happened?" Rebecca asked as she looked at the eldest boy, Joseph. He shook his head no repeatedly no before rambling how he wasn't an elf and that his name is Joseph. Rebecca listened to his ramblings, noting how the three were looking a lot like their parents. Joseph with his hair a dark brown that appeared black in certain lighting and his tall height was just like their dad's. His hazel eye like their mother. Damian, the second eldest boy, held the same hair color and height, only his eyes dark brown like their dads. He had their mothers smile and freckles. The third was the youngest boy. Thomas, he too had there dark hair and brown eyes like their dad, maybe even his height in years to come. His cheeks dotted with freckles. Yet each held their own differences. Joseph was born with a high metabolism, causing him to look almost like skin and bones, but slowly has built enough mussel thanks to his pediatrician and doctor a few years ago. Damion, constantly hungry, yet never gaining a pound unlike Thomas, whose appetite seemingly non-existent most of the time though healthy nonetheless.
"Stop fighting over the pillow and get in the car. Let's get a move on." She watched them scramble out of the room as Melody walked over complaining. Her little arms raised up in want. Rebecca wasn't sure what she would look more like, but she was certain that melody would have their mother's short height and possibly hazel eyes. Yet currently, the babe had a head full of blonde hair and grey eyes. Reminding the eldest sister of the pictures she saw of herself. As a baby, Rebecca too had a head of blonde hair before the years darkened it to a dark caramel brown like her mother. Her eyes once green had turned to a dark chocolate brown like her father along with his height. Though Rebecca looked more like her mother in the face due to the freckles dotting her cheeks.
There was one thing the four siblings had in common though. The boys looked like triplets in their separate baby photos, while the girls looked like twins when compared to each other. Making it a blessing and a curse, that her siblings not only looked alike in some way.
