Chapter 109

September 4th

Atlas's POV

I cringe at the bright light coming into my room and sigh time to get up I guess. Wait a minute what's today? No crap! "Shitttt!" I shout falling out of bed taking all the blankets with me.

I groan but stand and run to the closet. "Robes.. robes! Robes! Where are my robes! Why didn't anyone wake meeee!" I yell getting pissed off that I suddenly couldn't find my robes.

I gave up and ran towards the door, surprised to be met by Papa. "Are you okay? I heard yelling" he asks Gray holding on tightly to his hand. "Robes I need my robes" I whine getting a confused look from him. "And why do you need your robes?" He sighs picking up the baby.

"School! I'm late for..." I trail off realizing how stupid I am. "Yeah, I swear I've heard you say that every morning now" he chuckles as I lean my head against the door frame. "I feel so old" I murmur getting a huff from papa. "You're telling me" he grumbles bouncing the baby on his hip.

"Grayson look at me" he whispers and I look over to watch the two. "Are you hungry?" He asks and Gray raises his arm slapping the air violently. "Close enough for now" papa giggles as I smile at the two.

"I'm going to go wake EJ up then we're going to have breakfast, you're more than welcome to join us, the little twins will be there with Ron" he invites me and I nod starting for the closet once again. "I'm going to get change and I'll meet you there," I tell him getting a happy smile in return.

It was weird, sitting down with the adults and toddlers. It's honestly awkward in a way. Like I definitely feel like I shouldn't be there. Pulling a shirt over my head I move to change my pants pulling some joggers on.

I went to the mirror and combed out my hair with my fingers looking myself up and down. "I look like shit" I laugh before heading to the door.

Meeting my family in the dining room. Emerson was trying to pull himself up into his seat, but it was a little to high for him. "Papa! I can't do it!" He cries. "I'll be right there baby! I need to set your brother down" he calls and EJ tries again anyways trying to climb the chair.

Papa sets Gray down in his baby chair making sure he's stationary before flipping around to pull Emerson up. "Thank you Papa" EJ giggles staring at the table. "Atlas! You have dinner with us!" He cheers and I chuckle sitting down next to him.

"Breakfast buddy, breakfast" Papa corrects him kissing his head. "Eh!" Grayson cries reaching for our parent again. "Oh bweakfast" he cheers. "Yup, papa's coming Grayson" he sighs rushing back over to the baby.  "You certainly have your hands full" I look back at him. He looks at me and sighs. "mornings are always busy" he huffs checking Gray to make sure he was okay.

"Why are you upset baby?" He asks getting a silent giggle in response. "Looks like someone just wanted my attention" he murmurs kissing the baby's head. "Sorry, I'm here" Uncle Ron exhales pushing open the door and leading the twins in.

Isla quickly turns to run out the door and Ron grabs her by her shirt. "No, play later" he warns, ushering them towards the table.  "Who wants to sit by EJ," he asks rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Me!" Me!" "Meee!" They both cheer and I stare at them surprised . Dang my brothers already getting all the girls. "Isla did you sit with him yesterday?" He asks rubbing his eyes. "Yes... but..." she answers shyly and he nods.

"Imani you get to sit by EJ today then, problem solved" he claps picking Imani up. She giggles getting set in the seat, Isla next to her. "Okay remember we stay in our seats until after we're done with our food" he gives them a look, kissing the tops of their heads. "Yes, mommy!" They both cheer.

Imani stands in her chair and looks at EJ. "Hewo!" She cheers and I laugh as Ron turns around and points to the ground. "Imani sit down" he warns her, getting a pout in response. She does as she's told anyways and immediately smiles as my brother answers. "Hello," he waves.

I laugh into my hand before turning to Gray who was on my other side. "Aren't they being silly" I chuckle poking his cheek. "We are not!" Isla whines getting a "yeah" from Imani.

My papa and uncle come back a few minutes later with the food and I immediately help Emerson get his. Ron does the same with his girls as Papa feeds Gray.

"So how are the girls with schooling?" Papa asks Ron who sighs. "I swear they know it, but pretend not to know it just to mess with me" he groans and the girls giggle evilly. "Sounds like your girls" papa giggles and Ron pats Islas's head before moving to his seat.

"How's EJ doing?" I look between the two parents and roll my eyes. "Please no more old people conversations" I groan getting a pat on the head from papa. "We're having a nice conversation, thank you very much" he scoffs.

I put my face into my hands and shake my head. "Take me back to school" I laugh getting a glare from my parent. "Don't think I won't" he scowls and I quickly shut up. They continued with their boring conversation Papa occasionally feeding Gray, stopping half of his food from going to the ground.

"Can we pway nowwww" Imani whines letting her head hit the back of the chair. Ron looks to both their plates with worried glances and sighs. "I want one more bite from both of you then you can go" he gives in and the girls eagerly take another scoop of food.

Seconds later they are sliding out of their seats and towards the door. "Isla, Imani" he calls for them, and they stop redirecting themselves towards him. "Hands" he was calm taking the napkin from the table to wipe their hands and mouth.

"Okay thank you monkeys" he smiles messing with their hair. "Thank you, mommy!" Thank you!" The two shout, working together to push open the door. He smiles watching his children run through the door but it immediately fades when he looks back at us.

"Kiara will be finishing school at Beauxbatons, so she'll able to see her friends, but she won't be starting till next month. At the moment she's sleeping" he fills us in taking a drink of his water. "I doubt that's what's bothering you" Papa sighs giving Gray another spoonful of eggs.

I looked back to Emerson who was happily gnawing on his toast. "I just doing understand- their toddlers, I get that they might not eat as much as me, but they eat less than normal toddlers" he rubs his eyes.

I looked back to their plates still full of food and my eyebrows furrow. I hadn't realized this was going on. "I don't want to force them to eat, because I don't want them to hate me or get sick, but they literally don't eat at all" he shouts letting his head fall to the table.

I look between the two adults worried, why didn't I know about this. "I know they were born earlier, but their twins it's normal! Blaise and I are tall people, the older twins are also tall, but Isla and Imani their just so tiny for their age, skinny- they're twigs!" He whispers pulling at his hair.

"Maybe their appetite will grow as they do" Papa suggests. I just watch the two talk both with a worried expression. "EJ are you done?" I lean over to the toddler. "I'm almost" he holds up a hand to shush me.

Laughing I lean over to papa taking the baby fork out of his hand. "Let me" I cut into their conversation. He nods his thanks before turning back to my uncle his hands folded in front of him. "Have you told Blaise?" He questions him and I scoop some of my brother's food up, holding it for him.

Clapping he reaches for the fork, but I pull it away knowing he's going to make an absolute mess. He doesn't pout long opening his mouth where I happily give him the food. "Such a happy baby" I coo going to get him so more.

"I've tried, but at the same time I don't think he understood, or maybe I'm overreacting- either way, I don't know how to tell him, he has enough problems being busy" his voice was background noise to me as I tried to focus on my brother his hands and face gooey, an absolute mess.

"Ron, next week me and you, we'll take the toddlers with us to your moms, I'm sure she'll have some advice or opinion on it that will help, we'll sort it out, I promise"
