The Billionaire's Five

Chapter 6

"In this world, nothing is more beautiful than a happy child."

Maureen placed their food on the table, a light chuckle coming from her lips as she watched the kids follow the food with their eyes.

They picked a table large enough for the eight of them, with the babies in high chairs placed by the middle. Mrs. Helen had to hold back the hem of Nikki and Natalie's clothes who, in an instant, were already reaching for the food in the middle. 

Charee and Hayes were full of woah's and ooh's as they too leaned forward, while Harper stayed still in her seat, but her eyes were following the food too. A gentle spark.

She made sure to get a bit of everything. Nuggets, burgers, chicken, and even sodas for them to taste.

She was excited to know how they feel about their first fast food taste.

Before handing them their plate, she fist made sure that the utensils were clean. She also handed made sure that their hands were clean, handing them wet wipes and cleaning Nikki and Natalie's hands.

"Here you go" she said as she handed Harper and Hayes their plate, burger and fries as well as soda. Next was Charee, who almost looked like she was about to fall over from leaning forward too much.

Small 'thank you's' were her replies, to which Maureen smiled to.

Sitting in between Nikki and Natalie, she fixed some fries for them, dabbing them with tissue to remove excess salt, as well as small pieces of chicken for them to grab.

She happily watched as they excitedly ate their first taste of Mcdonald's.

Making sure that Natalie and Nikki ate a bit of everything else too and not just fries, she made sure to switch her spoon with their small one's as she fed them. A napkin for their lips and cheeks were also ready by her lap, just in case of messes.

As she was feeding the two, she realized that Mrs. Helen was gazing at her with smile. Her face screamed gratefulness and Maureen smiled back. She appreciated the proud look on Mrs. Helen's face.

It motivated her to do more, and give more to these kids.

"Say ah" she cooed as she made the airplane fly, really just a piece of fry, and maneuvered it to Nikki's mouth as Natalie clapped and giggled at her other side, chewing her own fries in her mouth. Charee was feeding herself, too impatient to wait for the plane.

"Whoosh" making sound effects with her mouth to make it more effective, she watched as they enjoyed the food and kept on giggling on and on.

It made her laugh as well, happy that they're happy.

Halfway through their meal, she remembered to take photos for remembrance and for something to show the kids' father.

"Is it okay if i take some pictures?" she asked while her hands were wiping the crumbs and sauces off of Charee's face "Just so we can show your Dad later"

Charee immediately smiled and posed, placing her chin in her open palms that were on top of the table. Hayes nodded, wiping his mouth off first before smiling. Harper just looked at her.

While the two babies... well, they continued eating happily.

Snapping some quick photos with a smile, including both Mrs. Helen and Dave as well, Maureen realized how their eyes sparkled.

They were happy, and so was she. This day was worth it indeed.

The rest of their trip to the mall was filled with laughs and smiles around the table, as well as Maureen wiping their faces here and there.
