It's 6 am and I'm the first awake, the events from last night replaying in my head; hoping that it's not true but I know better. I get out of bed no letting sleep take me over and head to the bathroom for a relaxing shower; sometimes I just wish that I could stay in there forever letting the warm water wash away all my problems, but I know I can't. I turn off the water and step out drying myself off and putting on the outfit I chose for the day white shorts with a pretty blue blouse. As I look at myself in the mirror brushing my hair that was now down to my waist; I realize that for being 26 and having a kid I still look pretty good. I walk out of the bathroom glancing at the clock it's now about seven I should probably get the kids up now I thought. I walk out of my room and down the hall to Arashi's room. I walk in and across the room to the window to open the curtain to let enough light so you don't trip over anything and die; but not too much to blind someone who is just waking up. I walk to Arashi's bed and sit on the edge.
"Arashi Arashi time to get up" I say. Shaking him a little but not a lot. He stirs and after a few more minutes he rolls over and looks at me with his chocolate brown eyes that resemble mine.
"Well good morning sleepy head time to get up, we got a lot were doing today" I say cheerfully now standing up watching him slowly get out of bed and stretch. Even though he's eight he's really mature but not entirely.
"Go take a shower and make sure to brush your hair and teeth" I said giving him my 'I mean it look'. He mumbles yes ma'am and walks towards his dresser to pick his clothes for the day.
Okay one kid down one to go I thought. I wait to make sure Arashi actually gets undress and in the shower; he always tell me that he's in the shower but half the time he just sits in there without taking one. I walk down the hallway a little, I grab Virgo's key and summon her.
"Open the gate of the Maiden, Virgo" there's a puff of smoke and a ding dong sound and bam Virgo appears.
"Punishment princess?" she asks. I groan; I don't know how many times since I got Virgo's gate key, I've told her no but she always asks.
"Umm no, I was wondering if you could go make breakfast for us, if it isn't a problem" I say
"Of course princess anything else?" she ask
"No that will be all and thank you" I say she nods and walks down the hall to the stairway. Kay now breakfast is taken care of I can go get Ayame. I thought. I finish walking down the hall way to Ayame's room I walk in and open the curtains just like I did in Arashi's room but only to turn around to see an already awake Ayame.
"Well good morning sweetie do you remember who I am?" She stares at me for a little while then a smile appeared on her face.
"Of course how could I forget my auntie Lucy" she said now grinning. I smile back sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Where's mommy?" She asks
"Your mommy went on a job and left you with me for a little while" I said.
"When is she going to be back" she asked
"She didn't say exactly when all she said was soon" I said truthfully and it was true Rose didn't even drop a hint to when she was going to be back. A frown formed on Ayame's sadness and hurt in her eyes.
"Well if she says soon then I just have to believe in what she said" she said smiling.
'Wow what a strong little seven year old' I thought.
I smiled back "Well that settles that but you need to go take a shower we have plans for today." Now standing I motion for her to follow me and she did; I lead her to my bathroom and told her she could take a shower in there and I would bring her a towel and a set of clothes. I start the shower and made sure it was warm enough before I left to fetch what I said I would bring along with her hair brush, toothbrush and toothpaste.
