chapter 13

"We found a lake there!"
Eva, Jackson, Michael, Celia and Mason walked in the house after exploring the woods. We have today here and then tomorrow we are going home, since it's Saturday today.
Josie looked at me, not wanting them to go on our secret place.
"Yeah, there is a lake, but you can't go in."
"Why?"
"Water is cold, it's still March."
"Pleaseee?"
"Please, just for a little bit. It's hot outside todayy."
"No. End of discussion."
"Oh c'monn mom, please."
"No, we don't need any of you getting sick."
"Please. If we get sick you- you can sell us. Just please let us go in now."
"We'll go in with them."
Josh said and then we debated for few more minutes they can go in the water or not.
"You guys don't have swimsuits."
"So what? We'll go in our underwear."
Eva narrowed her eyebrows, she probably doesn't want to be in her underwear in front of us.
"A-and girls car wear dads shirt over. Please mom. Auntie? Lee? Please Nessaaa-"
"Okay then. If you get sick, that's your problem."
Girls ran upstairs, probably to grab shirts and then came downstairs after ten minutes.
We were already all in shorts and shirts so we would just take off our shirts.
"Why are they taking so longg?"
"Those are girls. They always take long."
They walked back in the kitchen in big shirts.
"Okay, let's go."
"Lunch will be done soon."
"Okay."

We made our way to lake and boys jumped in after quickly taking off their shirts.
We followed them in the water, and Eva jumped in, but Celia and Josie were scared to.
"C'mon!"
"Jump in!"
Celia squealed while jumping in but Josie wouldn't move.
"C'mon Jo!"
"Just jump in!"
"I'm scareddd."
She whined and I swam closer to her.
"Come."
I held my arms out for her and she hesitated at first and then just jumped in.
"Woohoo!"
"Was that scary?"
"Yes."
She laughed and held onto me, wrapping herself around my back.
Blake was holding Paeka, she was scared of water so she was sitting on his shoulders, and other kids were just messing around.

We just saw ball fly over, hitting Bryce right in the head.
We all turned around to see Lexi laughing while recording us with her phone.
"Hey momma!"
"You wanna jump in with us?"
"No, I just came here to bring you a ball."
"Mom, are there snakes in here?"
Josie asked holding tighter onto me.
"Yeah, probably."
Girls immediately got scared.
"Those snakes wouldn't go near us, they are more afraid of us then you should be of them."
Mason said calmly, trying to calm them down.
"Mom mom mom, get me out of here!"
Josie said climbing higher onto my back.
"Calm down Jo, they won't go near you. If they go push your dad onto them."
Lexi said laughing a little at the last part and I shook my head.
"Mommy pleaseee."
"What? Do you not trust me that I'll protect you?"
"I do but I don't like snakes. Please dad help me get out."
"Look, are there any snakes around us? No. So calm down."
"Okay guys, have fun, I'm going to help them finish the lunch."
Lexi waved and we waved at her before she walked away.

We played in the water for some time, until we got out, where Lexi probably left us all towels.
We quickly wrapped them around our bodies.
"Dad, can you give me piggy back?"
Mason asked and I nodded, making Josie gasp.
"You were supposed to be my ride home!"
"Well-"
"You didn't say it on the time. Sorry sis."
She made pouty face, folding her arms over her chest.
"I'll be your ride. Let's just go, it's cold."
Jackson said turning around and lowering himself a little while Josie jumped on his back.

We walked inside of house where table was set up.
"Go go go upstairs and change quickly, you'll get sick."
All kids ran upstairs with us following them.
I quickly changed in sweats and shirt with v neck because all the kids wanted to shower and there was no way for me to wait in wet clothes for them.

"You smell on lake."
Lexi said when I hugged her.
"Thank you very much."
I said making her chuckle as she played with my hair.
"Let's make another baby."
I said once I checked we were alone in the living room.
"What?"
"I want one more kid."
"Well, there are always unfulfilled desires."
"Why?"
"What why?"
"You don't want another kid with me?"
I was basically laying on the couch and my head was basically on her lap, but I still hugged her.
"I love you and everything, but I don't want another kid."
I pouted and she shook her head laughing.
"No Jaden."
"But why?"
"Hi guyss."
Michael walked downstairs with Eva.
"Hii."
"Michael do you want one more sibling?"
He narrowed his eyebrows while sitting on the chair.
I was turned little to them.
"Oh my God are you pregnant auntie?"
"No. Nor ever will again. Jaden is just trying to fulfill his unfulfilled desire for fourth kid."
"Why it would be so cute, I want a little baby to babysit."
"You can go and ask your mom for another baby, I'm not having any more kids. Three is perfect."
"But fourth would be cutee."
"No, I don't want another sibling. Babies are cute, but I'm with mom on this one. We don't need another baby."
"Thank you Mikey."
"Ugh."
I groaned rolling on my side again as my face was buried into Lexi's belly.
"Sorry pretty boy but it's not happening."
She said kissing my head and rubbing my back.
"Pretty boy?"
"Uncle Jae is totally a boy."
"That's what I used to call him all the time."
"Yeah because I'm really sexy."
Kids snorted, laughing.
"Nah, you are pretty."
"If you were sexy you'd be sexy boy."
"So you're saying I'm not sexy?"
Lexi snickered pushing my head off of her lap and getting up.
"I'm going to see if all the kids are done so we can eat."
"She can't even admit it."
"Shut up Jaden."
We laughed, and then kids went to eat, and we ate after them, since it's obviously not possible for 15 people to fit at the one table.

"Okay, good night kids."
I said, closing the doors when I checked on them after we all showered and got ready to sleep.
Lexi was already asleep in the bed when I walked in, since it was 1 in the morning.
"Are they asleep?"
She mumbled not opening her eyes.
"Most of them yeah."
"M'kay, come sleep."
I turned off the light and took off my sweats and laid beside her.
"Goodnight beautiful."
"Night."
She mumbled quickly kissing my cheek before turning on her side, her back facing me.
I laid there, thinking abiut everything. Remembering good moments of the life. So many things happened through our 16 years that we've been together, I couldn't even remember everything if I wanted.

"What are you thinking about?"
Lexi said, catching me off the guard.
"What?"
"You're not sleeping, what are you thinking about."
"Nothing important."
"Tell me, love, so then you can sleep when you get it off your chest."
"Nothing, I've just been remembering our good moments."
"Why now?"
"I don't know, I just love life. I love living. Only when it's with you and our kids. My family."
"I love you Jaden."
"I love you more, always and forever."
She kissed my cheek, laying on my chest.
"Let's sleep now pretty boy."
I kissed her head and actually fell asleep after some time.
I've always been, and always will be excited to see what future has for me.
