Alison's POV:
I hugged my little sister tightly before they left that night. I miss Hanna, Caleb and the kids so much, Kailand came just in time. Spencer, Aria, and all the kids left. Emily's parents are sleeping upstairs.
"I love you. Call me when you get home" I said before kissing Hanna's cheek.
"Love you too. Send me pictures of Kai and remember it's your turn to visit next!" Hanna said as she got into her car
"Okay" I said "Drive safe"
I went back inside to see Eva holding Kailand with Emily helping.
"Oh he's looking at you Eva! What do you think?" Emily asked
"Hi Kailand"' she said looking down at her brother
"Good girl Eva! Are you helping Mama?"
"Yeah" Eva said "Can he play with me?"
"Not quite yet but you can hold him whenever you want" Emily said
"Okay let's get ready for bed Eva we have to go school shopping tomorrow" I said
"I don't want to" Eva whined as Emily took Kailand
"I know but you have to go to bed or you'll be tired tomorrow. It's almost time for school to start" I said as I picked her up
"I want milk first"
"No Eva you know you can't have milk before bed" I said as I took her downstairs
"I want to sleep in your room" she fussed as she brought her into her room
"Eva you're a big girl you sleep in your room. Don't cry" I said when her bottom lip began to tremble "I love you Eva. Mama will be in here soon to read to you"
"Oh she's so dramatic" Emily said as she came upstairs holding a sleeping Kailand over Eva's wailing
"Here I'll take him" I said as I took Kailand before carrying him to our bedroom.
I held Kailand to my chest and patted his back. "Oh my little man" I said before kissing his forehead
I smiled when I heard Emily speaking to Eva in Korean as she stopped crying. Emily's always been able to get her to stop crying and use her words.
Emily came in five minutes later "She's sleeping. She told me she doesn't want to go to school without her cousins. And she doesn't want to leave us"
"Oh Eva. She'll be okay did you tell her you're going to pick her up everyday?"
"I did but I think because Kailand is staying with me she's feels a bit left out" she said as she got in bed next to me after putting Kailand in his crib beside our bed. Kailand has a nursery but he doesn't sleep in it yet.
"She'll get over it after she realizes how fun preschool is. Plus she's doing gymnastics" I said "I keep forgetting to call Jason. They've been so busy lately"
Jason owns a banking business so he's been very busy and Melissa is a doctor. When Malia turned five they tried to have another baby and Melissa just couldn't get pregnant again. A year later they got a surrogate mother and gave birth to a baby boy, little Jason.
"Call him tomorrow. You're his sister he has to make time for you"
Aria's POV:
MORNING
Every morning Ezra and I wake up at 6:00. We shower together and then after we are dressed the kids start screaming and crying from their room. It's usually Amelia who wakes up first and then starts to scream for Ezra to come get her. Then Alex will wake up and get upset. Once Aurora is up she starts to cry from all the noise.
"We're coming babies" I say into the monitor. They're still in cribs right now but Ezra and I are looking for beds.
All of them are crying as we enter their cream and dark red colored nursery. It's so loud we can't hear ourselves think. "Mommy!" Aurora cried from the edge of her crib as I walk over to her.
"It's okay honey I'm right here" I said as I picked her up and kissed her cheek before handing her the white blanket my dad bought her. Alex and Amelia were pacifier babies and grew out of their comfort items a while ago.
"You're okay come on go potty and then we'll go downstairs". Aurora and Amelia use the bathroom in the morning they just have problems during the day.
"Why don't you use the potty in the morning like your sisters?" Ezra asked Alex as he changed his diaper.
After everyone took care of business I put pull-ups on the girls then I looked through the their dresser for something for them to wear. "I think it's a pajama day for you guys" I said as I took out early Christmas themed footie pajamas for them. I know it's early but I'm so excited.
I put a red headband in Aurora's hair and I tied Amelia's long black hair in a ponytail. Alex's hair is still styled like Ezra's.
"You guys are so cute" I said as I put Alex and Amelia on my hip and Ezra took Aurora.
"Daddy can I have strawberry milk?" Aurora asked
"Yes if you eat your breakfast" Ezra said
"Mommy I want to help make breakfast" Alex said
"You do? Thank you big boy you can help me make the eggs"
"No Mommy you and the girls are going to watch tv while Alex and I cook" Ezra said as he put Aurora down and kissed my cheek "Let's let Mommy relax today"
"Up please" Aurora said before I leaned down and put her on no my hip with my free hand
I put Brave in the DVD player before we all cuddled up on our large navy blue couch.
"Here sisters" Alex said as he entered the living room holding Amelia and Aurora's sippy cups filled with milk
"Thank you" the girls said as they took their milk
"I'll get your coffee Mommy" Alex said before running out the living room
I smiled as I watched my baby enter the living room with my coffee mug in his hands
"Thank you my big boy" I said before kissing his cheek
After breakfast Ezra got ready to leave for work. "Daddy I don't want you to go" Amelia said as she clung to Ezra's leg
"Honey I'm coming back tonight" Ezra said as he picked her up "Be good for Mommy"
"I love you" I said before kissing Ezra "Have a good day"
Amelia's lip began to tremble as soon as Ezra closed the door. I picked her up as her water works began.
"You don't like Mommy do you?" I asked as I lead the kids to the playroom/office.
"I do but I want Daddy!" she cried as I rubbed her back
"How about we listen to some music and play okay? Mommy has some work to do" I said as I put Amelia down when her cries turned to sniffles
I'm working as a photojournalist and an artist right now. I'm working on a project about what is going on in Syria. Next month I'll be traveling there.
I laid out snacks and juice for the kids and let them play while I worked on my writing.
I got one hour to work before the kids got bored. "Mommy can we watch the tv now?" Alex asked
"Yes you may watch a show but only in Spanish" I said
Ezra and I want the kids to be bilingual, the preschool they're going to will teach them Spanish. I can speak Spanish now that I finished college.
As I put the television on my phone started ringing. "Oh it's Grandma!" I said as I answered my phone "Hi mom!" I said
"Hi baby. Can I head over I miss you all?" She asked
"Of course we're just relaxing here" I said as I put Aurora on my hip when she reached for me. I grabbed the kids empty plate of snacks before going downstairs to make the kids sippy cups with warm tea. It helps them go down for their nap and they all use the bathroom when they wake up.
"Okay I should be there in an hour or two" she said
"Okay, is everything okay mom? You sound sad"
"I'm fine I'm fine I miss all my children and grandchildren" she said "I love you I'll see you soon"
"Love you too" I said before hanging up and putting my phone on the counter "Grandma is coming today!"
"Yay!" she said as I put her in on the counter "Can I go with her?"
"If she wants you too you can. Grandma might be busy" I said as I filled a pit with hot water
After I lay the kids down for a nap I get some more work done for another hour before my mom comes in.
"Hi honey! Where are my little angels?" Mom said before hugging me
"They're taking a nap. Quite a long one actually I'm surprised" I said as we parted. I raised an eyebrow at her melancholy face.
"Are you okay mom?" I asked
"I kicked Zack out" she said sadly "I don't think we're going to work"
"Oh mom come sit down" I said as I lead her to the couch "Are you okay?"
"I think I'll be fine" she sniffed "I'm just not use to an empty house. Can I take the babies?"
"All three of them?" I asked "They aren't always little angels"
"You know I want my Aurora and since Amelia is still a Daddy's girl I'll take Alex too"
"Well you know I don't think twice about a chance to get some quiet in the house"
