Our Future

-Thirty-Two-

(Billie's pov)
I woke up to my son poking at my face to get me to wake up. I looked at the clock and saw it was 9:50 in the morning.

"Leo. Please tell me why you are waking momma up this early? On a Saturday?"

"Mommy says we going Cwismas shoppin."

I noticed Aleah wasn't in the bed and I already knew she was downstairs most likely making breakfast. I sighed and rubbed over my face to wake myself up.

"Okay. Come on buddy."
I rolled out of bed and carried Leo downstairs where Aleah was just as I thought she was making breakfast. Delish was sat in her high chair chewing on some fruit.

"Hi honey," She greeted, giving me a smile.

I set Leo in one of the chairs and went up to her, kissing her cheek.

"Hey love. Why are you making breakfast baby? That's supposed to be my job."

"Because you always do it. And I woke up early and you were asleep, the kids were awake so why not?"

"Well I'm making dinner then."

"Deal. Now go wash your hands my love it's almost done, and take Leo cause he's been outside."

I did as told and helped Leo wash his hands before washing my own. I set the table while Aleah finished cooking as well.

Breakfast and dinner time were no doubt my favorite parts of my day. We have a no electronics rule at the table so that we can actually have quality family time without the distraction of games and social media, we talk about our days, how they went, how we slept and it was so incredibly nice.

After we were done eating Aleah demanded we go Christmas shopping and I am not one to turn down shopping with my family. So while I got ready, Aleah got Delilah ready and then I got Leo ready.

This would be the first time we would be going out together as a family in public. I had no doubts the paparazzi would be active, especially since I can't even remember the last time I actually went out and went shopping. This time it's the whole family. Plus Aleah's pregnancy, there would be paparazzi everywhere.

"Hey darling? I'm gonna call Sully so he can come with us for some extra protection." I said as I put Leo's shoes on him.

She came in with Delilah with a worried look.
"Do you think somethings gonna happen?"

"No not exactly. But this is the first time we're all going out as a family and all eyes are gonna be on you and the kids. Plus you're pregnant too, thats gonna arise even more questions that I just really do not wanna answer. I just wanna go out shopping with my family and I don't want anything to happen to you or the kids or even the babies." I explained, getting up from my position. I saw her relax a little bit.

"Okay. If it makes you feel more secure, we can bring him."

I kissed her forehead and thanked her as I called Sully. He said he would meet us at the mall and after we made sure the kids were ready we headed out.

Luckily when we got to the mall there wasn't many cars meaning there wasn't many people either. Sully was going to walk a little bit behind us while we were shopping just so we could at least try and be normal for once.

As usual we were only here for a few things, seeing as how we had some decorations left over from previous years. I knew Aleah wanted some stuff and we both wanted the kids to pick out at least one ornament to put on the tree.

I held Leo's hand as we walked around the store for Christmas decorations, I was always the one who wanted new decorations every year but Billie liked to reuse so we agreed to only get a couple of new things.
