Now What? - Sequel To "Not Herself"

Part 6

"Kim!" Sloane yells once she sees me. She runs over and gives me a huge hug. Helen and Paris walk over to us.

"Hey, Kim." Helen smiles.

"I thought her name was Paige." Paris says.

"No, honey. That was a fake name she needed to use. The agency told her to." Helen explains.

"Oh."

"Where's the twins?" Sloane asks.

"Probably in the stroller sleeping like they are right now." I answer. She looks past me and sees Kennedy and Cade sleeping in the stroller. 

"Hey, babies." she cooes.

"So, Kim, are you gonna stay with us or Brody and Sloane?" Helen asks.

"Um, I'll probably stay with Sloane. Seeing how much she adores the twins and I need her help while you're gone at work." I answer.

"Okay. Just, stop by every single day so I can see them." Helen says.

"Sure." I smile. I grab the stroller and Sloane grabs my suitcase as we walk out of the airport. I help Sloane put the suitcases in the trunk and fold up the stroller. "The one thing I couldn't bring was their carseats." I say.

"Don't worry. I brought two of my old ones. I'll go get them from my car." Helen says. Five minutes later, Helen comes back carrying a green and a blue carseat/carrier.

"Thanks. Did these belong to Paris?" I ask as I set them up in the back of Sloane's car.

"The green one. The blue one was for her baby brother but he died from pnuemonia at 6 months." Helen replies.

"Oh. I'm sorry." I say.

"It's okay. I'm glad to know some other little boy can use it." she smiles. I set Cade in the blue one and Kennedy in the green one.

"Well, we're gonna go. But if it's okay, we can stop by for dinner." Sloane says.

"Sure!" Helen says nicely.

"Thanks. See you then. Bye, Paris." I wave. She waves back and Sloane drives off. "I'm guessing neither you nor Brody cook." I say.

"Nope. We can only do sandwiches and the occasional pop tart. If it doesn't explode in the microwave." Sloane answers. I laugh and she does too. As we pull into the driveway, Kennedy and Cade wake up. I see another car parked in front of the house so Brody must be home.

"I'll grab Kenna. You get Cade." I say.

"Mkay." she agrees. She grabs Cade in his carseat and I grab Kennedy. We walk inside and I see Brody in the living room watching t.v.

"Hey, Brody." I say.

"Hey, Kim." he replies without looking up. Kennedy giggles and claps her hands which makes Brody jump up and come over.

"Oh! So now you're interested." I say as I hand him the two day old girl.

"Whatever." he says.

"Kim, you and these guys are in the room on the upstairs left. All the way to the end of the hall." Sloane says.

"Mkay." I reply.

~Sloane's P.O.V.~

Kim walks upstairs with the two suitcases while me and Brody stay down in the living room with the twins.

"Hey, babe." Brody says, lightly wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me to him. He kisses my cheek then Kennedy squeals.

"She sure has a lot to say." I laugh.
