"Mum, where are my glasses?" Hollis screamed.

"I don't know! Where did you put them last?" I screamed back. Hollis is now twelve, Ryan and Landon are ten, and Alice is four. Luke and I both agreed we would stop having kids. Hollis' eyesight was somewhat saved. She had gotten two surgeries, and has glasses. She is soon getting contacts. Michael and Olivia had their baby boy, his name is Payton Gordon Clifford he's ten, Calum got Ashlee pregnant and they named their child Selena Bea Hood she is being born in a few months, and Ashton proposed to Liv. Right now we were preparing for Hollis' thirteenth birthday party.

"Reina?" Luke called.

"Kitchen." I sighed.

"Okay, what's wrong now." He laughed.

"I'm just really stressed." I said rubbing my temples.

"It's okay baby. Can I do anything?" He asked.

"Yes, get the things on this list." I said handing him a list of party supplies.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." He said.

"You better be back before noon." I said pointing at him. He nodded and walked out the door. Hollis came down stairs still looking for her glasses.

"Found them!" Hollis said sprinting over to the kitchen table. She put them on and walked over to me.

"You're turning thirteen tomorrow." I smiled at her.

"I know, I feel so old." She laughed.

"You are growing up to fast. It felt like yesterday you were being born. Next thing you know, you'll have you license and will never spend time at home." I laughed.

"I'm sorry mum. I'll always be your baby girl." She smiled pecking my cheek.

"Everyone is coming over at three. You're in charge of making sure your siblings are dressed nicely." I said putting stuff in the fridge.

"Okay, I'll start getting ready at like two." She shrugged. I looked at the clock it was only ten thirty. I walked up the stairs and went to Alice's room. I opened the door and she was sitting on the ground playing with her toys.

"Mommy look!" Alice yelled shoving her toy in my face.

"Cool!" I laughed moving her hand out of the way. "What are you going to wear today?"

"This." She said pointing to a light blue dress.

"Okay. I'll come back up here later and we can get ready." I said and she nodded. I walked past Hollis' room and she poked her head out.

"Mum?" She asked.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Can you do my makeup today?" She mumbled.

"Of course. Just tell me when you want me to." I said. Hollis doesn't wear makeup yet, so this is a big deal.

"Now." She said.

"Okay, but we have to go to the store so we can get makeup for you." I said.

"Okay." She said steeping out of her room.

"Go get Alice, I'll get the twins." I said walking to Ryan and Landon's room. "Both of you, we have to go to the store. Up and out." They both stood up and started walking out the door.

"Where were you? You had me worried! You didn't answer your phone and you didn't leave a note!" Luke said running over and hugging me.

"Calm down. I'm fine." I laughed.

"But you weren't answering my calls or anything." He said.

"We went to go get things for Hollis." I shrugged handing her the bag. "I'll be right up baby."
