Here's chapter 6!


The next morning we all get up a little later than normal, Lena had made breakfast and left it in the oven to keep warm so we could eat whenever we felt like. When I woke up I saw that Marianna was still in bed so I got up and went downstairs to grab some food hoping I got there before Jesus had the chance to eat it all. As I walked into the kitchen I saw that I wasn't alone, Brandon was standing at the counter pouring a glass of orange juice when he saw me walk in he poured another glass of juice while I grabbed some plates and a couple sets of cutlery.

It's nice to be able to share such a close bond with someone, that you can communicate in complete silence but Brandon's voice being the first thing I hear in the morning is also pretty awesome.

"Morning gorgeous, how did you sleep?" he asks while putting some toast on both plates while I grab the pans filled with bacon and eggs.

"I slept pretty great, this trip is going to be pretty fun but an RV doesn't seem like the best place to get some peaceful sleep." I tell him.

He nods his head in agreement; "that's probably true, especially with all of us kids sleeping in one area."

I laugh agreeing with what he said and we continue to eat in silence. After a while the twins and Jude make their way downstairs and join us for breakfast.

We notice a note on the table a couple of hours after finishing breakfast; we all crowd around it knowing it must be from the moms. We all just stand there, terrified of the consequences that come with noticing the note hours late. Taking a deep breath I grab the note and read:

Hello my babies,

Mama and I had some last minute trip prep to do (like getting groceries for the RV, you don't want to starve do you?) We also have to go and sign some papers so we can bring the RV home. We should be home around 3 O'clock, while we are gone we would love it if you could all clean up around the house, and Jesus that means go mow the lawn. Have fun my babies!

Love, Mom

"Crap" I whisper, finished reading the note Stef left us.

"Alright, here is what we are going to do; Jesus you go mow the lawn, Marianna and Jude you two clean upstairs and do the laundry, Callie and I will clean up down here." Brandon tells us taking on the leader role since he is the oldest.

A few hours later, thanks to a few miracles and lots of teamwork the house is clean just in time for Stef and Lena to pull into the driveway. Lena is driving the van while Stef is driving a huge RV. Us kids go outside and stand on the porch while Stef and Lena park the vehicles and get out.

"So what do you think?" Stef calls to us, pointing behind her to our new temporary home.

Stef motions us over and we all go to check out the RV and as nervous as we may have been it actually seems pretty cool. Up front there is the driver's cab and then there is a living room, kitchen, dining room area which is actually quite big. Towards the back there are three doors, pretty close together. The door in the middle is the bathroom, the one on the left is the moms' bedroom and the other one is the bedroom the kids have to share.

The bedrooms look really tiny right now but they slide out to make more room; on either side of the room there are bunk beds and then there is a small couch in between them that fold out into a bed.

"Okay, so to reduce fighting Mama and I have chosen who gets what bed and our decision is final, you hear me?" She tells us sending Marianna a special look. We all nod our heads in agreement.

"So sleeping in the bunks to the left we have Jesus on top and Jude on the bottom, on the other bunks we have Marianna on top and Callie on the bottom and Brandon you get the couch in the middle, happy? Good!" She finishes walking away.

"Oh and you all better be packed we are leaving in two hours so get moving." She calls behind her and we all spring into action.

The next two hours are chaotic to say the least; people are running all over the house to find that last sock or a video game that they just have to have on the road with them. Finally, after minimal fighting and stress everyone and everything is loaded onto the RV.

After getting buckled Stef and Lena turn around to face all of us kids sitting in the living room area. "Are we all ready Adams-Fosters and Jacobs?" Lena asks us with a smile.

We all nod our heads and cheer. "Okay then let's head out!" Stef yells and we pull out of the driveway headed on an adventure we will never forget.
