Amelia's POV:

"Owen, we have to go feed the kids dinner then you and I can talk." I say to him.

He sighs and rubs his face, "I'm an awful dad."

"Owen don't say that. You aren't. She's a teenager. And she does just need some space from us. You do hover babe."

"And you are always on her side!" He says as we walk into the house.

"Stop it. I am not on anyone's side. We will talk after dinner. I'm not mad at you." I grab his hand and look up at him, "We just need to discuss some things alright?"

He nods, "Alright."

Blake runs up to us, "Daddy, Mommy! We are so hungry!"

I laugh and pick her up, "Let's get you and your brothers some food then!" Owen gets the boys and we sit down at the table. I cut up the chicken for all the kids and put it on their plates, along with some pasta.

Logan looks around, "Sissy?"

"Big sissy had to go. You will see her soon baby." I say to him as he frowns and goes back to eating. Owen sighs and eats his food quietly. I can tell he is really beating himself up over this.

Everyone finishes eating and Blake looks to her father, "Daddy can you play with me for a little bit before bath time?"

I watch as my husband nods and puts on a fake smile for her, "Of course princess. Let's put these dishes in the sink first. Wanna help me take them?"

"Okay Daddy!" Blake smiles and picks up all the little kid plates while Owen carries both of ours. I get the boys out of their chairs and let them run to the living room. I follow them in, "You boys can play for one hour. Then it's bath time!"

"No bath mama!" Logan says as he crashes into my legs. I look down at him, "You are taking a bath mister." He pouts his lip out like I always do and walks away to play with his brother.

I chuckle and sit down on the couch. Owen comes in holding Blake and he kisses my cheek. "We are gonna be upstairs in her room. Talk later?"

I nod, "Yeah we will talk after these kids all get a bath." He nods as he carries her upstairs.

"Mama!" I look up to see Daniel holding a book. I smile and open up my arms, "come here let's read it." He climbs onto the couch and into my lap. "Logan do you wanna hear a story?" The brown-haired boy shakes his head and continues racing toy cars around the carpet.

Daniel and Logan are certainly inseparable, however they have different personalities that Owen and I have grown to love. Daniel is a little more like Owen and likes to relax, cuddle and have some quiet time. Logan on the other hand is way more like me. He loves to always be doing something, he's always active and he's very sure about things. Yes he's only 2 but he always knows what he wants or doesn't want.

When the two boys are together though, they love to play and be with each other. Owen and I have been hoping that bond sticks around forever. They also play well with Blake too. She loves her little brothers.

I finish reading the book to Daniel and close it. He opens it back up and looks at me, "again"

I laugh, "Not tonight baby. Go play with Logan for a little longer."

He nods and jumps down to go play with the cars again. I put the book away and look down at my phone. From Carmen : Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm at Chris's. Tell dad I'm sorry for blowing up. Is he okay ? Also I didn't mean the whole thing about me not taking the pill and just getting pregnant.
