RAYVIN JONES

We quickly head in and me and Lottie get dressed and head down. "You're walking with Charlie." I nod and smile as I see my other halves. I hug them. "Ready?" I walk over to Charlie and nod.

They all walk out. I smile as Ray and Lottie were smiling and laughing with Charlie and Raven. "Today we-" we sit through the whole thing. And we went on to the toast and what not. "Quimbley and Quinlynn." giggles were heard as they run up to the stage. they bump into each other and fall.

We gasp and they stand up. "We're good." they say and laugh. "Okay we weren't really ready for this. cause let's be honest, we're procrastinators." Marco laughs with Raven and the boys. "Mom and Dad. I'm so happy to be the oldest." Some people laugh as her siblings complain.

"I remember the first memory of my parents. Date night, we were left with grandma and Mom was saying something to Dad. He said to her. "Just wait till we get old, you'll still be the Queen I married." I was seven, Marco and Lev were four." Lottie says. "My favorite memory ever has to be with Quimbley and Dad." she says with a smile.

"As some of you know Quimbley, Quintillion and Quinton are two months older than me. But one day Quimbley was crying over something the boys did. They were bullies-" she says. "Still are." Ray says cutting her off. "Anywho Dad came home early with flowers. He of course gave mom the big ones and gave the blue ones to Quimbley and the Orange ones to me." she looks at her dad.

"That day was the day I realized how special my parents were. And it's not like I didn't before but my parents are very good people. My parents mean a lot to me and I'm so happy to have you as my parents." she says with a big smile. "Now that does not mean I'm going to stop calling you old." her parents laugh.

"I love you Momma and Daddy." she says. "Love you too Babygirl." Her mom says. It goes quite and we look at Ray. She looks up and smiles. "When I was little I had just gotten to see my Dad and my Mother was out of town and I had nobody who could take me. Uncle Marco picked me up and took me. I was scared and I don't know why. But he told me somethings that actually helped me." she looks at her siblings, her grandma then to Raven and Charlie.

"I never had a good relationship with either of my parents. I only got along with Pres and Matt because we were triplets. I didn't get along with the other four until we had to stay the night with grandma. This was the first night I seen Lottie since I was three. and I look at her then to everyone else and go. "She has stolen my face, when did I lose it." they all laugh."

"And at that moment she smacked me. I had gasped and smacked her back. then did we realize each one was real." Lottie hums and kisses her cheek. "My favorite memory of my aunt and uncle were when I was ten. Me and Lottie were playing in the backyard and he calls us in and Lev was just saying random stuff to me." she smiles at her cousin.

"Uncle Marco was talking to Lottie when Auntie Aaylai calls him into the kitchen to help her. They had an argument that wasn't even that long and I was shocked because he apologize very quick. He says something to her and she smiled at him and she laughs as he poked her stomach and stars talking to it." she looks at a teenage girl who was sitting next to Marco.

"My aunt and uncle have been with me for so long that I started calling them Mom and Dad, I will still call you old. No hard feelings. "I just will." they smile at her. "And we have a surprise for you that we all know s better than everyone else's." we laugh.
