Ella's POV:
"Say I love you" Aria said to Mike who was sitting on the floor playing with his toddler legos.
"I love you" Mike said
"Good job. What's my name?" Aria asked
"Aria" Mike said
"Dinner is ready" I said as I put roast beef and mashed potatoes on the table. Byron is doing some last minute school work so he can't join us for dinner.
"You ready for dinner big boy?" I asked Mike as I lifted him up and put him in his booster seat next to Aria.
"Are you excited for school tomorrow Aria?" I asked as I sat down at the table
"I guess I just wish we didn't have to wear uniforms" Aria said
"You don't have to wear them in middle school and in high school honey just a few more years. You guys look so cute in them" I said
Aria turned to Mike "Is he going to school?" Aria asked
"No he's going to stay home with Mommy" I said
"But I went to school when I was two" Aria said
"He's not two yet and you liked going to pre school with Alison. Mike doesn't have any friends his age yet" I said
"He always gets to be with you and I'm just with Daddy" Aria said
"I will pick you up from school tomorrow honey. You don't need to feel this way. When you were Mike's age you were with Mommy and Daddy a lot" I said
"You gonna miss sissy while she's gone?" I asked Mike
"Yes" Mike said
Aria leaned over and kissed his cheek "That's my Mikey"
Ashley's POV:
"Hanna why are you in your pajamas?" I asked my youngest as I packed lunches for tomorrow.
"Alison said I should go to bed early. Is it true that the teachers will spank us if we're bad?" Hanna asked
"No your sister is just trying to scare you and you cannot go to bed until you eat dinner and take a shower" I said
"I did take a shower" Hanna said
"Well then sit down and eat your dinner" I said
"Pasta!" Jason said as he came downstairs with Tom and Alison
"Alison apologize to your sister for lieing to her about your teachers" I said
"I didn't lie it's true" she said
"Alison Kate apologize" Tom said
"Sorry" she grumbled and began to eat her food.
"Hanna I saw a list of your classmates. Emily, Spencer, Maya, and Caleb are all in your class" I said
"What about Mona?" Hanna asked
"She's in the other class but you'll see each other a lot too" I said
Hanna signed "I'd rather have her than Caleb he's gross" Hanna said
"You be nice. He's not mean to you is he?" I asked
"No"
"Mommy did you see who was in my class?" Jason asked
"Yes I did Ian and Eric are in your class and Melissa is too" I said
"But Melissa's younger then me" Jason said
"She skipped a grade" I said
"Why?" Alison asked
"She knew everything she had to know for third grade so her teacher put her in Jason's grade" I said
"Will they do that to Spencer too?" Alison asked
"Well she's smart but-"
"She's not that smart I'm smarter than her" Alison said
"No you're not Spencer can do fractions and you can't" Hanna snapped
"Girls cut it out" Tom said
"Alison Aria, Paige, Lucas, and Jenna are in your class and the new girl Cece that moved here is in your class too" I said
"But she's eight isn't she?" Alison asked
"Yes she is"
"Oh that means she's stupid" Jason said
"No it doesn't her family came from Paris so I guess she couldn't enroll into the correct grade. Maybe they'll move her" I said
"Lucas is so weired I don't want him in my class" Alison whined
"You'll be nice to him his mother told me you knocked him over yesterday" I said
"That's because he was bothering Hanna"
"Hanna can stand up for herself" I said "Right Hanna?"
Hanna nodded and I kissed her hair "That's my girl" I said
Pam's POV:
"Emmy you'll be okay" Wayne said from the video chat. Wayne went to Arabia two weeks ago and its been really hard on Emily she really wanted him to take her to her first day of school
"I miss you Emmy" Wayne said
"I-I m-miss you" Emily sniffed
I kissed her cheek "Daddy's coming back in two months" I said
"I'll call as much as I can. I'll call tomorrow and you can tell me all about your first day okay?" Wayne asked he looked like he was on the verge of tears
"O-okay" Emily sniffed
"I love you" Wayne said
"Love you" Emily said
"We love you" I said and waved at my husband before I closed the chat
Emily put her head in her hands and started sobbing "I want Daddy here!" she cried
"Emmy" I sad as I turned her around on my lap "He'll be back soon sweetie I promise. Hey you want to have some ice cream?" I asked
Emily shook her head "I want Daddy" she sniffed
"How about we watch a movie in Mommy and Daddy's room? You can hold Daddy's pillow" I said
Emily nodded and carried her to her room first to get her blanket and hairbrush.
After Emily picked Emporer's New Grove for a movie I brushed her wet hair into a braid for the night. Emily's dressed in her purple nightgown.
"Mommy you won't ever leave me for a long time right?" Emily asked
"No baby" I said before I kissed her hair "Not ever"
Veronica's POV:
6:00AM
When I woke up I heard Spencer reading Harry Potter out loud. I wrapped my robe around myself and turned off the shower water before I left our bedroom.
I opened Spencer's door and she was sitting in Mellissa's lap reading. They both were dressed in their school uniforms which is a white short sleeved or long sleeved shirt with three buttons and a collar at the top with a khaki skirt and white flats though shoes aren't required with a dress code.
Spencer is wearing the long sleeved shirt and Melissa is wearing the short sleeved. "Good job Spencer now you'll read the best in your class and maybe you'll get skipped like me. Now let's read another chapter-oh hi Mommy!" Melissa said
"What are you two doing it up? It's only a ten minute drive to school. Spencer you're tired" I said as I walked over to them
"Melissa don't wake her up she's five she still takes naps" I said
"She wanted to read and I braided her hair see? And we've only been doing this for an hour" Melissa said as she played with Spencer's french braids.
"Yes I see thank you now why don't you go back to bed? Spencer come here" I said as I bent down and picked Spencer up holding her head to my shoulder.
"I'm not tired" Spencer whined
"Yeah she's not tired Mommy. Why don't you go back to bed?" she asked with a little too much attitude
"Melissa go to your room and get some sleep you know you can get in a lot of trouble if you fall asleep in class" I said leading her out the room and back to hers.
I rubbed Spencer 's back as I watched Melissa take her shoes off and get back under her white sheets. "Mommy will wake you up in a hour and a half" I said before I bent down and kissed her
I kissed Spencer's cheek "Go to sleep honey" I said rubbing circles into her back
Spencer fell asleep five minutes later and I laid her down in bed.
HOUR AND A HLAF LATER:
I made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and then laid out some yogurt and fruit. Melissa and Peter came down first.
"Good morning" Peter said before he pecked me on the lips
"Hi Spencer's still sleeping?" I asked
"Yep she's out like a light I turned on her air conditioner she was sweating up there" Peter said
"See Melissa you shouldn't wake up your sister" I said
"She had fun anyway" Melissa said as she made her plate
Spencer came downstairs about fifteen mintues later. Melissa had finshed her breakfast and decided to watch television.
"Hi honey are you ready for school?" I asked
Spencer nodded with a yawn and sat down at the table. "Daddy are you taking me to school?" Spencer asked
"Sure champ I'll come with you and Mommy" Peter said
Spencer smiled "I'm really excited" she said
"That's good honey but don't expect it to be diffulcult you're five" I said
"Tomorrow Mommy and Daddy both have big cases and we have to leave Rosewood so Melissa tomorrow Sarah's mom will pick you up and Spencer you'll go with Emily okay?" I asked
"Okay" Spencer said kind of sadly
"We'll be right back the next morning I'll pick you up from school and tonight were all having dinner at the Marin house" Peter said
"Hey Mommy am I still doing gymnastics after school?" Melissa asked
"Yes it starts on Thursday and then you do it everyday after school except Friday and Spencer you'll do the same just with horseback riding" I said
"But what about field hockey?" Spencer asked
"That's on Saturdays and the team doesn't have tryouts till December I believe" I said
I took Spencer's braids out and put a white headband in her hair. "There you go. Go brush your teeth" I said
While Spencer was upstairs I took Melissa's pictures at the front door and then Spencer's when she came down. Her lunch box in her free hand.
"Mommy are you crying?" Spencer asked as I took her pictures
I wiped my eyes. I just now realizing how big she's getting she won't be with me as much anymore. I wiped my eyes "Mommy's just going to miss spending time with you at home" I said as I lifed her up onto my hip with my free hand.
Melissa was in Peter's car so I put Spencer in mine and we both drove to the school. Pam, Ashley, Ella and the kids were already there.
Pam was holding Emily in her arms telling her it would be okay. I feel bad for the child because Wayne left about two weeks ago.
Ashley was taking pictures of Alison and Hanna I guess she let Jason run off with his friends.
Ella had Mike on her hip and she was crouched down talking to Aria.
Spencer got out the car and I did with her. I noticed her face change from excited to scared "Mommy will you walk me in?" she asked
"Of course I will honey. Hey why don't you go say hi to Emily she looks upset" I said Spencer nodded and ran over to her.
Melissa hugged me "Bye Mommy!" she said. I kissed her cheek "You have fun at school and raise your hand don't call out."
"Okay I can walk Spencer in" she said
'No Spencer wants me to take her in. Is Daddy leaving?" I asked
"No he's walking Spencer in too. Love you!" Melissa said before she ran off with her friend Sarah
Ella's POV:
I held Aria's hand as I walked her over to her class with Alison and Ashley we just dropped the younger girls in.
"Bye Mommy!" Alison said before she ran into class
"Hey hey can I get a kiss first?" Ashley asked
Alison came back and wrapped her arms around Ashley's waist and Ashley kissed her hair "I love you" Alison said
"I love you" Ashley said waving
I bent down to kiss Aria "I love you. Have fun at school"
"Love you" Aria said before she ran into class
Ashley turned to me smiling "Coffee?"
I nodded "Coffee"
Hanna's POV:
"I don't get it" I said staring at the math sheet our teacher gave us
Spencer, Maya, and Emily were sitting at a table with me
"Just count them and add them together" Spencer said
"Oh I see so the first one is seven?" I asked her
Spencer nodded. "Emily tomorrow I'm sleeping over at your house" she said
"I know it will be fun" Emily said
"I'm done" Spencer said as she left the table to give her completed worksheet to our techer Miss Kate
As I worked on my worksheet Caleb pulled up a chair and sat down right next to me
"Hi Hanna"
I was going to say something rude but I remembered that Caleb is a snitch "Hi" I mumbled
"Why don't you like me?" he asked
"Because you're gross" I said
"I'm gross? Maya plays in gardens all the time" Caleb said
"That's because she plants you jump in mud!" Emily said
"And you steal!" Maya said
"I don't steal I fix" Caleb said "Spencer remember when I fixed your Leap Frog?" Caleb asked
"Yes" Spencer said
"And I gave it back didn't I?" he asked
"Yes" Spencer said "But Melissa said you stole Ian's gameboy"
"I did not he owed me something and I wasn't going to give him his gameboy back if he didn't give me what he owed me" Caleb said
"And what did he owe you that was so important?" I asked
"A box of fruit snacks" Caleb said
I laughed "That's not very important" I said
"It is to me my mommy doesn't let me have them" Caleb said
"Well-"
"Alright class time for lunch and recess!" Miss Kate said
Ashley's POV:
"I miss having my Hanna snuggled into my side" I said sadly to my friends
"I know by this time Spencer and I would be asleep in my bed" Veronica said. She got here a few minutes after her case.
"It's just one more hour and a half" Pam said chekcing her watch
"I need all of your honest opinons about something" Ella said as she rubbed Mike's back who was nursing from under the blanket she covered herself with
"Sure what is it?" I asked
"Byron and I have been arguing about putting Mike in pre-school" she said "I don't want him to go yet because he's my last and I get so lonely. Byron says I baby him too much"
"Well I regretted putting Jason in pre-school when he was two and after two months of it I pulled him out but when I had Alison I couldn't watch them both and he had to go to pre-school and it was hard gtting him there because he was so attached to me. It took me ten minutes to leave" I said
"Was it like that with Alison too?" Ella asked
I shook my head "She wanted to go and she didn't really like Hanna when she was small and crying all the time and Hanna wanted to go because she wanted to be with Spencer and Emily"
"What about you Veronica?" Ella asked
"Well Melissa didn't go to pre-school till she was four I just worked with her at home with Spencer until then. Spencer going to pre-school was more diffulcult for me then it was for her" she said
"And Emily didn't go until she was three because Wayne was here and he wanted to be with her as much as possible" Pam said
Ella nodded "I just want to wait one more year and Byron feels that if we do that we aren't being fair to Aria because she went to pre-school at his age"
"And he really wants me to stop nursing Mike and I am I've cut it down to once a day only for his nap. Byron and even Aria will rock him at night"
"But he isn't even two yet so why don't you wait till he's two and a half?" I asked
Ella nodded "I'll talk to Byron. I hate arguing with him"
"I miss Hanna" I said again "I hope they're having fun I won't see her till dinner"
Hanna's POV:
"I think we can decorate it more if we put some leaves or flowers on it" Emily said as she filled Toby's bucket with sand. Were making a sand castle
"The boys are over there" Spencer said "and my sister I can't be near her and Ian at the same time"
"Why?" Toby asked
"She has a crush on Ian and she thinks I'll fall in love with him" Spencer said
"I'll go" I said before I stood up and walked over to the flowers
I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and tripped on my feet. I hit my knees and hands.
I looked around and the teachers didn't notice. My right knee is bleeding really bad, I panicked and wiped it away with my hand which didn't do any good because more blood just gushed out.
Tears pricked my eyes and I quickly wiped them away.
"Ouch" Caleb said as he crouched down in front of me
"Go away" I sniffed
"Want me to get Miss Kate?" he asked
"No" I said
"Here I have a band aid" Caleb said as he pulled a band aid out the little backpack he has on.
"Here clean your hands" he said before he handed me a wipe
Caleb put a little Monsters Inc. band aid on my knee and help me get up
"Thank you" I said
"No problem Hanna now that I did something for you, you have to do something for me" Caleb said grinning "It's only fair"
I rolled my eyes "What is it?" I asked
"I just want you to be my friend Hanna"
Emily's POV:
When school was over we went to Alison's house for a playdate and for dinner.
"Here are some juice boxes, chocolate covered pretzels, and fruit girls" Alison's mom said as she put a tray on the little table in Alison's room. We're all sitting on the floor.
"Thank you" we all said
"You're welcome I'll call down for dinner"
"Spencer where's your sister?" Alison asked
Spencer shrugged "She's mad at me because I talked to Ian"
"Well what did you guys do in class anything interesting?" Alison asked
"Nothing I didn't already do at home but I liked it" Spencer said
"I like it too the drawing part was fun" Hanna said
"I had fun" I said
"Did you guys get homework?" Aria asked
"No" Spencer said "But we have to bring in a book next week"
"Well we have a worksheet and we have to read this stupid book one chapter a night"
"What book?" I asked
"James and the Giant Peach" Aria said
"I want homework" Spencer said
"No you don't. You wanna do mine?" Alison asked
Spencer nodded "No don't Spencer that would mean Alison is cheating" I said
Aria's mom came up holding Mike who was crying for Aria. "Aria can he sit with you for a little while?" she asked
Aria nodded and Mike sat in her lap.
"What happened Hanna?" I asked when I noticed the band aid on Hanna's knee
"Oh I fell down and Caleb gave it to me" Hanna said as she took sips from her juice box
"Oh no you got into one of his stupid bargains? What did he want?" Alison said
"He just wants me to be his friend so I agreed" Hanna said
"You agreed to be friends with that nasty boy?" Alison said shocked "That's not allowed"
"That doesn't make any sense because Spencer is friends with Toby" Aria said as she rubbed Mike's back
"No she's not" Alison said
"Oh yes I am" Spencer said "I don't care that he's older then me"
"Well you need to stop because we don't hang out with boys" Alison snapped
"You hang out with Noel Kahn" I said
"I do not" Alison said
"Yes you do I saw you so don't tell us who we can and can't hang out with" I snapped. I miss my Dad and I hate that she bosses us around.
Peter's POV:
"Have you noticed that Spencer and Melissa have gotten closer these past few days? Not that it bothers me but It confuses me a bit because last week Melissa pushed Spencer down the stairs" I said to my wife as she made our bed
"Yes and she woke Spencer up at five in the morning " Veronica said
BAM!
I heard Spencer scream and begin to cry from her room next door. "Shut up before Mommy comes in here!" Melissa said
I sighed "I'll handle it" I said before I left. Veronica has had a long day with her murder case finally ending.
I went into Spencer's room and she was crying while holding her nose with both hands. Her small field hockey stick by her feet.
"Melissa Ann you didn't hit your sister with that hockey stick" I said sternly as I marched over to them
"I told her to stop talking to my friends and she didn't. So I taught her a lesson" Melissa said
"You know what?-come here honey" I said as I picked up Spencer she wouldn't remove her hands from her nose
"Melissa what is this about?" Veronica asked as she walked over to her
"I want her to not talk to my friends!" Melissa yelled
"You're too young to try to claim boys. I think this little crush has gone too far he's Spencer's friend as well and you need to accept that he's not a toy I'm going to have you removed out of that class" Veronica said
"No!" Melissa cried
"Let me see" I said trying to pry Spencer's hands from her nose. It was bleeding and that's why she wouldn't let go. Some of it dripped on her blue night gown.
"Come on lets clean this up. Melissa you're in big trouble and I mean it young lady" I said as I took Spencer downstairs
I put Spencer on the counter and cleaned her nose. "I didn't even t-talk to him he talked to me!" Spencer cried
"Shh don't worry about that. You wanna sleep in Mommy and Daddy's room tonight?" I asked
Spencer nodded "Lean your head forward so you'll get it out" I said
Melissa came down stairs crying her hands behind her back I'm guessing Veronica took care of her punishment.
"I'm s-sorry Spencer" she said
Spencer leaned her head on my shoulder and rubbed her back "Everyone's going to bed now" I said
Pam's POV:
"And I got a gold star for cleaning up after snack time" Emily said to Wayne at the computer. She should be asleep but I let her wait for Wayne to call us.
"That sounds great Emmy I can't wait to take you to school" he said
"I can't wait either" Emily said
"Dangsin-eun eomma e daehan joh-eun doegoissda" Wayne asked (Are you being good for Mommy?)
"Ne" Emily said "Oneul jeonyeog sigsa leul dowass" (I helped make dinner)
"Good job. I'm glad your having fun at school" he said
"Are you having fun over there?" Emily asked
"Well not really…I'd have more fun with you and Mommy" he said
"Tell Daddy your swim team try outs are coming up" I said
"Oh really? Are you excited?" Wayne asked
"I'm kinda nervous because a lot of the other girls are six and seven. Alison is trying out too" Emily said
"Oh don't be nervous you'll do good and you'll tell Daddy all about right?" he asked
"Yeah" Emily said
"Okay Daddy has to go but I will call Mommy tomorrow okay?" Wayne asked
"Okay bye Daddy!" Emily said
"I love you" Wayne said
"Love you" we said
Emily closed my laptop "Can I sleep in your room?" she asked
"Of course you can it's yours until Daddy gets back" I said
