I groaned when all five of my kids woke me up at the crack of dawn asking "can we go down and start opening?" I looked at the clock than up at my kids "go back and lay down, we will go down in three hours to open" just to see what they would do. The younger two whined and the older three looked at me like I was nuts.
I chuckled "go back to your rooms till I wake up some, I will call you when I am ready to head down." About twenty minutes later I got up, got dressed and walked into the hall. "Okay let…" they all came running, all six of them, including Paul "halt, in a line Pam first, then Maury, Nick, Nate, Seth, and Paul your with me. Now we are going to walk down the steps."
I knew that even with my many warnings, to my loving family that they would over do the presents but even I was shocked at the sheer number of presents that took up my living room. Everyone was running around like energizer bunnies. I grabbed a chair and sat at one end of gifts and settled everyone into sitting in a circle around me. I started grabbing gifts and handing them out and watching as each person opened.
I laughed when Paul opened a Xbox he screamed out "yeah, this is so cool" I smiled and kept handing out gifts. "Mommy look I got a American girl doll and she looks like me" Pam said cradling her new doll. I nodded "she is beautiful baby" I told her and watched as Maury opened a transformer and a GI Joe character and he just hugged them.
The two older ones where excited about the video games and clothes. By the time we finished unwrapping all the kids had a new wardrobe as did me and Paul. We all had new electronic toys and I think the kids, including Paul, got every new toy on the market. They got every gamming system that is out and tons of games for each.
MieMie came in while we were still unwrapping and looked so happy and pleased that everyone enjoyed their gifts. I tried to tell her she and my family had gone way overboard but she disagreed and told me just to enjoy the happiness.
As she helped me make breakfast I started getting calls from other members of the pride thanking me and the family for all the great gifts and was confused. After the fifth call I turned towards my surrogate mom and asked "what did you guys do?" Esme smiled "well we have noticed that the pride families needed a lot so we kind of took care of it." I shook my head and hugged her "thank you so much I love you so much" she smiled and whipped the tears off my face.
I received calls throughout the day from the prides' families' thanking both me and the family for all the wonderful gifts. I sat around and watched the kids play with all the toys and video games for the rest of the day. Bella came over late in the day and brought us all dinner and informed me all of my pride was also feed courtesy of her and MieMie. I smiled, thanked and hugged her before she left. Seth called home and talked to his mom and sister twice and was so excited that we would be picking them up from the airport in the morning.
When my phone rang around one thirty in the morning I was worried something was wrong back at my other home or maybe someone was hurt. When I seen it was sissy I was even more confused and worried "What's wrong sis, why you calling so late" I asked as my greeting.
"Nothings exactly wrong, just wanted to let you know that Jen and Charlie will be flying on our jet since their flight was canceled." I was confused for a second then remembered her gift and she continued "she will be calling you in five minutes and thirteen seconds love you talk to you later" she hung up.
I sat on the end of the bed and waited for Jens call witch came in exactly when sissy said it would. "Hello" I said on the first ring. There was a pause and then Jen said "where you still up."
I smiled "I was up waiting on your call." "I take it Alice seen me" she asked "well then you know that we won't be there the flight was canceled."
I laughed "yes, it was Alice and you are coming the family will be contacting you about where and when the jet will be coming to get you" I informed her. She laughed and thanked me before we hung up and I lay back down.
I laughed when both Seth and Jake where at my door at five o'clock in the morning "guys you know Jazz is leaving to go get them in and hour they won't land till about ten or so?"
They nodded "Yeah" Seth said "we were wondering if we could go with him?" he looked like the kid he really is in that moment. I smiled and shook my head "I have no clue guys why don't you ca…" I was interrupted by my ringing phone.
"Hello sissy" I don't know how jazz puts up with her spunkiness "yes they can come Jazzy says for them to be ready in about twenty minutes he will pick them up." I smiled and told the boys after they were gone I asked "are anyone checking in on Eddy?"
She sighed "I don't know dads considering going and checking in on him." We talked for a few more seconds before we hung up and I tried to get a little more sleep.
It was not even five minutes later that my phone rang "hello" I answered "who is this?"
Pop's chuckled "sweetheart it's me I was wondering if you would fly with Jasper back home to check on your brother and if you think he has changed bring him back with you."
I wiped the sleep from my eyes and nodded then remembered he was on the phone and could not see me "sure pops I will get dressed now so I am ready when he get here."
I could hear the smile in his voice "thanks baby girl I will see you when you get back." We said our good buys and I got dressed. Paul was sleeping with the two kids because Pam had a bad dream so I went in and told him the three of us where leaving and would be back around ten.
When Jazz pulled up he got off of his bike he came over to me smiling we hugged and said good morning then he said "I was told to tell you because I love her."
He looked as puzzled as I was then it hit me and I spit out between laughter "I was wondering about how you put up with your wife's spunkiness."
He nodded "a lot of quite time she is a handful" he started walking to the van and stopped and spun around "but don't you tell her I said that." I laughed and did the whole cross my heart thing.
"Seth take the minivan, Jake take the other van, I am taking this van, and you dear sis are driving your baby" he pointed out my mustang and I swear I pulled and Alice Cullen and he shook his head and got in the van. "Hey, what can I say have not got to drive her in a while,"
I stuck my tongue out at him before I slid into my baby. My phone beeped it was a text real mature mom great way to teach us how to act. It was from Seth and I laughed and sent back hush child or I will sick Sue and Leah on you. I did not get one back so I began to drive we were in a caravan line on the way to the airfield.
