The next morning I was woke up by my hyper pixie of a sister and a grumpy Jen. I been trying so hard to ignore her but I guess it will not work "Sis, stop" I yelled, then more quite "what do you want with me this early?"

She started jumping up and down again, "we are going shopping." She was excited and Jen looked pained and I agreed with the second. I opened my link to Jazz and told him 'jazz my dear brother come and get your pixie of a wife and control her, NOW.'

'on my way,' he said and I could see he was running and cut my connection. I did not wait long before I felt the waves of calm "sorry sis" he said as he pulled sissy off my bed and dragged her out of my room.

I lifted up my covers and motioned for Jen to climb in. Paul slept with Maury, Pam, Seth, Leah, Sammy in the big room down on the second floor. The pride tore walls out, after I left, and made the second floor one big room. Emily slept in the family room with only the company of my two dogs saying she needed space and time.

The older two and my rooms where left alone on the third floor, they knew better than touch them. A few seconds after Jen passed out I followed suit.

It felt like I only slept for maybe an hour when I felt and heard Paul at the side of the bed trying to coax me awake. I groaned which made him chuckle, "babe, come on get up its almost eleven. The kids are gone they left for their day out. Charley, Jazz, Sissy and I was talking about maybe the six of us doing something together today."

I groaned and started to climb out of the covers. Paul kissed my forehead and cheek before exiting the room. I turned to head for the bathroom but realized my favorite cousin was still sleeping. I walked over and shook her and told her it was time to get motivated.

She groaned and then than began to chuckle "get motivated" she laughed harder and I looked at her like she was crazy "you sound just like a mom." I chuckled "I am a mom and that's the chance I take."

I went to the master bath and she went to the one down the hall. I took a quick shower and threw on a pair of jeans and a tee before brushing out my hair and heading down stairs. Jen was sitting in Charley's lap and Paul met me at the bottom of the stairs with a coffee and a kiss.

"Thanks babe, love you" I said giving Paul another peck and turning to the other couple in the room "good morning Jen, Charley."

"Morning" Jen replied and Charley frowned and said "call me Chas mam all my friends do." I smiled "ok but cut it out with the mam stuff its Dawn" I smiled.

He nodded and smiled back and Paul leaned down and kissed the top of my head. "Where is Jazz and Sissy at" I looked to Paul and he informed me they went hunting before our day our and I nodded.

I sat and was drinking my coffee and talking to my big sis when the two boys started tapping their feet and bouncing in their seat. I looked over to them with a raised eye brow "what is the problem over there?"

Paul stopped and looked at me for a second and then said "Well what are we doing today" he looked at me with pleading eyes "please tell me you are not going to sit here gabbing all day." He was motioning between me and Jen and I growled "really Paul" he looked confused so I took a deep breath "gabbing?"

He instantly looked at his feet "sorry" I rolled my eyes and shook my head to myself. Once again I am reminded how young he really is and how much younger he looks in moments like this. I sighed and got up and went over and sat in his lap and gave him a kiss "its ok I just hate that word" I said and he nodded.

I looked over too Jen and she had the same devious look on her face that I am sure I have on mine 'water park two counties over, then paint ball fields' I asked her silently and she smiled wider.

"uh…um honey I know that look and I always hate the results so would you like to tell me what it is about" Charley asked.

Paul looked between the two of us "Uh oh babe what is up what are you two smiling like that for."

We both broke into laughter and Jen gasped out "you driving" and I nodded "let's go" I said as we drug our guys out the door and to my mustang.

Alice texted me and said they would meet us there. "We are in trouble" Chaz whispered and Paul nodded. We made the guys get in the back and we girls got up front. Me and Jen instantly started talking or gabbing as my mate would put it and the guys where whispering in the back seat trying to figure out what we wher up to. After we were on the road for a while Paul asked "can we please know where we are going and are we going to be back tonight?" he paused "we did not bring clothes."

I looked at Jen and we both frowned and yelled "first stop supper K." Jens phone beeped and she laughed "Alice wants to know why we are going cheap." Then we were laughing and the poor guys where even more confused and staring at us like we were nuts. I texted back 'we are all not rich and spoiled.'

After we got in the store Chas asked "Mam" and I glared at him "sorry Dawn why do we need these?" he held up the swim suites and stuff that was in the buggy. Even though it was hard I put on a serious face and my hand on his shoulder "have you never been swimming" he looked at me confused for a second but nodded and I started to crack up. "Good you will get more practice in a little bit."

The guys where so annoying on the ride to the water park that half way there I yelled "one more word out of you two and I am stopping this car" which sent Jen into giggles.

I growled at her and she signed 'what you going to do spank them?' as she had her brow raised. I smirked and her jaw fell open and I smiled I don't think I could actually do that but thankfully they guys shut up and never pushed it which I was thankful for.

We had fun at the pool but the paint ball field was terrific. Jazz had the most fun with the guns. The guys played for hours after us girls decided to quit. We went to the little in and got coffees and sat and talked and the three of us got to know each other even better. By the time we made it home that night the kids where all ready asleep and I barely made it through my shower before I fell into bed and fell into a instant and deep sleep.
