R POV

I put Alex down on the floor after I helped him off with his shoes and jacket. He waddled away walking back and forth in the hallway talking to himself. I smiled, He's the cutest baby!

I grabbed the food bags and started putting it all away in the kitchen. I heard Alex talking his own little language as he started playing with an empty box on the floor. I was humming as I put milk and yogurt in the fridge. Some meat in the freezer and bread and cookies in the cupboards. the time was a little past five and Ve should be home with Abby and Ben close to six. I started making some pasta and some Bolognese.

"Mommy box" Alex said cheerful. I chuckled and crouched in front of him.

"Is that a mommy box?" I asked. He smiled and nodded happily. "What can you do with the mommy box?"

"Box for mommy" he laughed. I laughed with him, I picked him up and swung him around in the air. He laughed and hugged me tight.

"Mommy loves you" I said and kissed the top of his head.

"Love you" he smiled and gave me a wet kiss on the lips. I put him down and dried my lips off and continued with dinner.

The door opened as I set the table.

"Hello?" I yelled to check on who it was.

"Mommy" Abby came running into the kitchen happy as ever and hugged my waist. I smiled and hugged her back, "How was your day princess?"

"Good, Alice teacher me how to braid my hair all on my own" she said excited.

"She did?" I said almost as excited as she was. "That was very nice of her"

She nodded and skipped off to her bedroom to leave her bag. Next in came Ve and she didn't look that happy. In fact she was boiling.

"Whoa, what happened to you?" I asked stirring in the pasta.

"My new gym teacher happened. He so fucked up I can't even understand why they hired him!"

"What happened to Mrs. Bryce?"

"She kind of died... Anyway this new guy is like all over the place. He's huge, like a fucking mountain of muscles and then he has this crazy work out techniques!"

"Watch you language in front of your brother" I warned her with a look. "So it's a guy this new teacher?"

"Yeah" she sighed and leaned against the counter. "He's crazy good looking and every girl in gym practically drooled all over him. Then he turns into this work out freak and doesn't budge for anything"

I smiled at her anger, I use to be just like her.

"So what excuses did you try?" I grinned. I was the master of excuses in high school, got away with almost anything. In the end I could always blame it on my pregnancy and I was the little angle again.

"I tried PMS, stomachache, headache and even sprained my ankle, but the dude always came up with things I could do! He's mad I tell you, fucking mad"

I ignored the last curse and smiled, "Guess you've got yourself a challenge"

"Mom it's not funny! You've got to do something about it"

"Oh I have to? What if I don't" I challenged. It's hilarious to tease her when she's mad. She glared at me and I chuckled, "ok, easy tiger. Why don't you just do what he says and get a good grade?"

"It's not that easy. First he asked us to run as far as we could. And I mean how can he say that? We never use to run with Mrs. Bryce. But we ran anyway and after a few laps we were pretty done but he started running behind us saying anyone who'd stop he'd push until they kept running. What psycho planet is he from?" She exclaimed.

I shook my head, "So you want me to go down there and tell him he has a cruel way to get my kid a good health?"

"Stop turning it around and make me the bad guy!" She said crossing her arms over her chest.

"How long have you had him?"

"A few weeks and I want to kill him already" she sighed. I rolled my eyes. I looked around, "Where's Ben?"

"I think he ran to his room" she shrugged.

"Why? He always comes here and hugs me and talk about his day. Did something happen?"

"He was quiet on the way home but he's always quiet so I don't know. He never looked up though, he was kind of hiding"

"Can you fix the rest so I can go check on him?" I asked. She shrugged and took her place in front of the stove. I made my way down the hall to his small room a the end. The door was closed so I knocked, "Ben, sweetie are you in there?"

I heard a low snuffling, "Yes?" his voice broke. I opened the door and saw him sitting on his bed with slight tears falling down his red cheeks. I hurried over and scooped him up and put him in my lap. He hugged me tight and sobbed into my hair. "My little sweet heart what happened? Did someone hurt you?" I asked. He didn't answer he just continued crying. I hugged him tighter, "My little baby" I kissed his hair. I pulled away slightly to look at his face, but he only looked down so I couldn't see. "Hey" I said gently and cupped his cheek, "Let me see" His lips quivered as he tilted his face up and saw a scratch all over his left cheek.

"Honey! What happened?" I asked in surprise.

"I-I fell" he stammered. I sighed and stroked his other cheek, "You know you can tell me anything" I said looking into his eyes.

"I took someone ball and he pushed me"

"Did you know it was his ball?" I asked carefully.

"No it just lay there and the he wanted it back"

"But you found it first and he didn't even play with it" I said. I saw he didn't want to talk about it and me talking about it only made him feel worse. I pulled him in for a hug, "We say like this, I won't talk about it anymore but if that boy is doing something bad to you again you tell me right away ok?"

He nodded and hugged me back. I kissed the top of his head and hugged him again. "I love you you know"

He pulled away smiling a little now, "I love you too"

"C'mon let's go eat" I said putting him down on the floor and we went to eat together.

"Mommy" I felt small hands shaking me. I blinked hard and made a weird sound. I checked the time, it was a little bit past three. I looked up and saw Ben standing in front of me in his blue pyjmamas. I propped myself up on my elbow, "Ben honey, what is it?"

"I had a nightmare" he said looking down, looking ashamed he woke me up. I smiled and padded the spot next to me, "Come you can sleep here" I smiled. I had a king-size bed, I got it from the girls at the store in birthday present. I had slept in a bad single bed ever since I redecorated the kid's room. I rather they had a nice and homey room than me. But the bed did me good so I was happy. He crawled up next to me. He had his own pillow with him and he plopped down next to me. I pulled him to me hugging him with his back to me and kissed his hair, "What did you dream about?" I asked. I've always thought it's better to talk about the dream then to just hold it in and be quiet.

"It was giant boys throwing balls at me" he whispered.

"Those boys are just bad. They aren't real" I whispered trying to make it all feel better.

"What if they are?"

"Then they have to deal with me first" I smiled. "Sleep sweetie, you have school in a few hours"

He turned around in my arms. "I don't want to go to school! All the bad kids are there and they want to hurt me"

My heart ached when he said that. I didn't want my little boy to be afraid. "Do the bad boys tease you when Paul's there?" I asked.

He shook his head no. "Is Paul feeling better?"

"His mom told me he'll come the day after tomorrow and I don't want to go to school if he's not there" he said with a small voice. I ran a hand through his beautiful brown hair. "How about this, you come with me to the salon tomorrow and help me out and then you go back to school and see Paul the day after?" Ben never missed school and he was never sick. He was the best of my kids. Ve skipped from time to time but promised to stop and Abby had been in a fight or two. Both of them were small copies of me and pure bread Hathaway blood.

But somehow Ben and Alex where a little different. Alex could be kind of stubborn but never angry. And Ben was so shy and sweet. Loving and caring all the time. I loved all of them of course, I mean what kind of mother doesn't love all her kids. They're so different but so freaking lovable.

He nodded, "Thanks mommy"

"You're welcome darling" I kissed his forehead, "Nighty night"

"Night night" he yawned and buried his face in my chest and both of us slowly fell asleep.

I felt a pair of thin arms cling around my neck and a nose nuzzle into my hair. I smiled as Ben clung to me. I wasn't that awake to open my eyes but I started stroking his back slowly pulling him back to reality. Ben and Alex where my two softies. They were best to cuddle with and made me calm and on my best mood. Ve never was the cuddling person but she and I could talk about everything. Almost like best friends only I was her mother. I heard some moving from the kitchen and I guess he'd gotten Abby out of bed and started making breakfast.

"Ben" I whispered stroking his hair. "Ben sweetie time to wake up"

He shook his head and hugged me tighter. I chuckled lightly, "Yes, you're coming with me to the salon today remember?" His head tilted up as me met my gaze. "Really?"

"Yes silly I told you that last night"

"Oh, I forgot"

I smiled and sat up pulling him with me, "Go get dressed and I'll see you in the kitchen ok?"

"Ok" he smiled and climbed down from the bed and went of to his bedroom. I got up and stretched out my body and yawned. I moaned and went to put on some clean underwear. I got a pair of grey jeans and pulled out a tank top and went to the bathroom. I brushed my hair and put some mascara on before I went to the kitchen. Abby was sitting my the table humming happily as she ate her cereal. Ve was standing up by the counter sipping on her tea and texting on her phone.

"Morning" I smiled.

"Morning" Abby said cheerfully with cereal in her mouth and milk dropped down her chin. I couldn't help but to chuckle as I got her a napkin and handed it to her. She's one adorable kid! I walked past Ve to get a bowl for Ben so he could start eating as soon as possible.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked Ve as I poured myself a cup of tea. She shrugged and put her phone down.

"Michelle just texted me that we're having our P.E lesson split in two. So we are having P.E twice a week now. That means twice as much Belikov" She cursed.

I smiled, "That sucks, didn't you say he was nice on the eyes?"

"Not only nice I mean he's practically sex on legs" she said in a hushed tone and grinned only so I could hear. I laughed at that comment, "I think I'd like to meet that guy" I winked.

"Mom" Ve grimaced but the smile never faded, "Don't start with the dating stuff again"

"Why not? It's not like I'm too old am I?" I asked studying her closely. She chuckled, "You're hot mom"

I smile proudly, "Thank you love, I think you have some pretty good genes" I winked.

She chuckled and shook her head drinking her tea. Ben appeared sitting down by the table with Alex tiredly stumbling in behind him. I handed Ben his bowl and spoon before I scooped my little baby up in my arms. "Hello my little baby wayby" I cooed kissing him all over his face. He laughed and tried to hid his face but I kissed him everywhere. "Mommy" he laughed and hugged me. I chuckled, "Did you sleep well?" I asked. He nodded and started squirming probably he was pretty hungry. I put him down and started making him his porridge. Ben helped him into his baby seat before he started eating his cereal.

"I'm taking Ben to work today and I'm having a short shift so I'll get Abby and Alex today" I told Ve. "So you can go to Michelle's after school but I want you home by eight ok?"

She kissed my cheek happily, "Thanks mom"

"Anytime" I smiled and sat down next to Alex handing him his bowl of breakfast. I watched Abby, she was done with her breakfast and now sitting braiding her hair all by herself. I smiled, "That's really pretty Abby"

She smiled, "This is was Alice teached me"

"Maybe you could teach me tonight?"

She looked excited, "Yes I can do that" she said smiling. Ben just finished so I took his and Abby's bowl and put them away. Alex was playing with his food again so I sat down, dried him off and helped him eat.

"Ben, Abby go brush your teeth, we're leaving in fifteen minutes" I said helping Alex with the last of his breakfast. I put his dishes away and helped him wash himself off. He was wearing all blue today, it was his favorite color for some reason. I put him down to go get his shoes as I jogged upstairs putting on a red tunic on top of the black top. I put my hair up into a high ponytail and check my reflection. Happy with the results I headed downstairs.

Ben and Abby was already done and Alex was sitting on the floor desperately trying to put ton his shoes but it just didn't work. I smiled and put on my shoes, kneeled next to him and helped him put them on and grabbed our jackets and headed for the door.

"C'mon" I said locking up and jumping in the car. I helped Alex to fastened his seat belt and drove them to school.

I let Abby go on her own by now, I always looked so she said hi to the teacher and disappeared through the doors before I went with Alex to kindergarten. Abby was a big girl, she could be a real princess from time to time. But she had Hathaway blood running through her veins so of course she has started a few fights but, what to do?

I left Alex with his favorite teacher before I headed back to Ben sitting in the car. I started the engine and headed to work. I grabbed my phone and called Ben's teacher and told him he was sick but that he'll be back tomorrow.

"But mommy" Ben snickered, "I'm not sick"

"Yes you are" I smiled, "You're pretend sick" I winked.

He smiled, "I like being pretend sick"

"But not when Paul's around huh?"

He shook his head, "No, Paul's my best friend"

I smiled, I was so glad he'd found someone he could call his best friend. Before he had another best friend but he moved. Ever since Ben has been so quiet and pulled back. I was happy that was on the way to change.

"How did you and Paul meet? You never told me that"

"Two months ago when he transferred here"

"Two months ago? Why didn't you tell me about him earlier?" I asked surprised. He always told me everything about school and such. I almost felt left out...

He shrugged, "I think I forgot, but I like him a lot"

"That's great sweetie"

"Can he come home and play tomorrow?" he asked excited. "I want to show him my room and all my toys"

I chuckled at his excitement, "Of course, I'll just talk to his mom tomorrow to make sure it's ok" I parked the car outside the mall. We jumped out and met at the back of the car. We held hands walking across the lot and in the back. We entered the salon, "Morning" I smiled and put my bag down. Lissa was cleaning the floors as Mia and Meredith checked something on the computer.

"Morning" Lissa looked up. She smiled when she saw Ben. He ran to hug her, "Morning to my favorite boy in the world!" She smiled scooping him up into a tight hug.

He snickered, "Hey Lissa"

"What are you doing here today? Shouldn't you be in school?" she asked.

He shook his head and looked a little sneaky, "Mom call me in sick, but I'm not really sick. I'm pretend sick" he snickered and put a hand over his mouth to keep the secret, "But don't tell anyone!" He said serious. She chuckled, "I can keep a secret" She let him down so he could go say hi to Mia and Meredith. Lissa gave me a look asking why he wasn't in school.

I sighed and looked behind my back to check if he was looking. He wasn't. "He's scared for some of the boys in school. he wouldn't let me talk to them cause he said it was better when his friend Paul was around, so I told him he could come with me today since Paul was sick. But only if he told me right away if anything more happened so I could step in"

A worried look crossed her face, "Poor little guy! He's the sweetest, I don't understand why kids act like that towards him?" Both of us looked over at Ben talking with Mia and Meredith. I nodded along, "I know, but I'm glad he told me in the end"

She nodded and continued with the floors. I put my things away and handled my first customer. Ben helped me out all day, we decorated the shop window and unpacked new products. It was nice being just me and him for a whole day. God I love my kids!
