I know, I haven't updated in forever. Please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes. I'm on my Aunts computer in Brazil and she doesn't have MicrosoftWord so I'm writing on the document uploader thing. I'm going to my grandma's' house for a month after this and I'm not sure if I'll be able to update but after August 5th (when I come back to my beloved Texas) you can sned death threats for not updating.

Holly POV

I quickly applied mascara to my left eye, put on my long lasting lip stain and grabbed my favorite Vera Bradley floral bag that had all my travel stuff. Today was the day of the swap, I couldn't be more excited!

The bathroom door opened slightly. I could see one pair of jade green eyes and one pair of ice blue eyes. I sighed and beckond them to come forward. The door slammed open completely, Meya ran into my arms crying.

"Mummy," she sniffed a few times and continued, "don't-t-t-t g-go." I knealed down to Meya's' level and looked into her beautiful blue eyes that she inhereted from me.

"May-May, I thought you were happy about this," I said confused.

"I-I-I was, but now I d-d-don't want you t-to go-o-o," She cried harder. Ava looked at her crying sister and ran to her.

"It's okay, May-May, Mummy's 'gonna be back soon," Ava soothed Meya while rubbing her back. Meya shakily stepped out of my embrace and nodded. I settled my Vera Bradley bag on my shoulder and grabbed both of my daughter's' hands.

Elle announced that the limo's here as soon as we reached the bottom of the stairs. I gave each of my girls a long hug and told them to behave for the new mom. After giving Noah a kiss goodbye I stepped into the limo and we sped of to the airport.

After we got of the plane and grabbed my bags- which I could tell had been tossed around- I got in a new limo and went to my new house for the next two weeks. New York City was exactly, but at the same time the complete opposite of what you see in movies. It was very beautiful. There were people walking in the streets, something you don't see in my home town where there are barely any sidewalks anyways.

After driving for a while we pulled up to a cute, traditional looking little two-story town house with red bricks. There was a small yard with beautiful flowers of all kinds and colors. It looked kind of foreign to me since I'm used to big, spacious yards and backyards, with the houses a good distance away and fences seperating most of the space, but it was beautiful nonetheless.

I was handed a key and told to go inside. Inside, the house looked quite modern, unlike the exterior. The kitchen wasto my left, while the living room was to my right. The kitchen was big and open, so it looked more like one huge room, there was also an intercom which I thought added a nice modern touch. There was a small hallway behind the livingroom that led to a guest bathroom and the master bedroom. Beside the guest bathroom there was a small laundry room with two modern looking washing and drying machines, a big purple dog bed, a small pink cat bed, a litter box, and two sets of food and water bowls.

On the kitchen counter there was the guide. I grabbed it and began reading.

Dear New Mom,

Welcome to our home! I hope you enjoy it here.

My oldest child is Callista, but every one calls her Callie. She's sweet and nice most of the time, but if you get her mad you can see she has quite a temper. Callie loves our garden and spends hours out there. Becareful if her cousin Alex Rodriguez comes over, they will have a prank marathon that usually lasts all day. Be especially careful if their uncle Connor is with them. Callie isn't a girly-girl, but she isn't a tom-boy either. She likes make-up and her dolls, but she'll play tackle football with the boys too. If she's really mad the only way to calm her down is to give her chocolate ice cream with fudge on top.

My youngest child is Nicholas, who we call Nick. He's two and a half and is learning to talk. Nick is a mamma's boy who loves baseball. He's going to start T-ball when he's around three. Nick ever rarely gets mad, but if he does just ignore him for a while and after a while he'll come and apologize.

My husband, Travis, loves kids and usually acts like one himself. He'll spend a lot of time with Callie and Nick at the park. He can also make a killer stroganoff.

Again, I hope you enjoy your time here.

Love,

Katie Stoll

I smiled as I read the part about baseball. My husband always wanted a boy but all we had were girls. After I was done reading I went upstairs. There was a little girl's room with light pink and purple walls with lots of flowers and butterflies everywere. Onewall was full of pictures. A bunch were in this house, some in other houses, others in diffferent parks and outdoor places, and a bunch were in what looked to be a summer camp, with a bunch of weirdly decorated cabins and kids in orange shirts.

Beside it was a little boys room. A small twin bed was pushed up against the wall and a guard rail was on the side of the bed that was opened, so he wouldn't fall in his sleep. It was all blue and green with lots and lots of dinosaurs.

In front of Nick's room was the guest room. It was mostly navy blue with light navy blue walls. In fornt of Callie's room was a small open space which the stairs led to.

As I walked back downstairs the door opened. A little girl with brown hair and blue eyes, who I assumed was Callista, smiled brightly. The little boy with curly slightly darker brown hair and same blue eyes started calpping gleefully moving up and down in the man's arms. They were slightly dirty. I'm guessing they just came home from the park.

The man balanced the little boy in one arm and stuck out his therhand fr me to shake.

"Hi," he said happily, "I'm Travis stoll."

I know, super short but betther than nothing! As soon as the wife's get settled in the chapters will get longer and the interesting stuff will happen.

Super-duper thanks to Bewilder22 who explained what I needed to know about New York City. You should go check out her stories. My favorite is The Saga Of Tratie. Lot's of Tratie!

Don't forget to read my one-shot, "The Lazy Song" about Connor baby-sitting the kids.

Keep on reviewing Little Monsters!

You gotta love Lady. now Born This Way AND Judas are stuck in my head! Is that even possible. Two songs being stuck in your head at once.
