Lainey Duncan has been an orphan since she was 4. Now 9, she's starting to lose hope of finding the perfect family for her and her little twin brothers, Rowan and Ollie. Until one day, when Lainey was playing piano up in her room, there is a knock a...
It's December 3rd and it's finally time to go back to school.
My dad comes into my room at 7:30 to wake me up. Some days, like today, he has to physically pick me up to get me to get out of bed.
"Baby you can't stay in your bed all day. You gotta go to school" Dad tells me and gently grabs my wrists to pull me upright, I want to fall back onto the bed, but dad stops me.
"I'll come back in 10 minutes. Get dressed." He says and goes to wake up the twins.
I slowly open my eyes to see my dad has already gotten out my school uniform and laid it out on my desk chair. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and let them dangle for a minute before sliding my body down so that my feet are on the floor. I bring my hand up to rub my eyes, and go to stand up.
I grab my blazer for my school uniform and put it on my bed. I put on my tights and crew neck that's got my school logo on it, then my socks and my school shoes. I grab my blazer and my bag and put them by my bedroom door.
I make my way into the bathroom to do my hair and my dad comes in to check on me, like he said he would.
As soon as i'm all ready, I stop by Charlottes room before going downstairs. She's still in bed, asleep.
I go downstairs and settle in for some breakfast with the twins and Alena.
It's Alena's turn to feed Gizmo this morning, so I help her open the cage and she scoops the food into a small container to put into his bowl.
Once we are all ready, Kevin walks us all to the bus stop.
We all got our school bags and walked down to get on the bus.
Joe's POV:
I stayed home while Kevin took the kids to school so that I could plan some things for the day. I know Charlotte has been going through some things with her recently being diagnosed with diabetes, and with her troubles at school and with her classmates. I really don't want to go to hard on her, so we started the day by talking about her birthday party, and what she wants to do.
"I was thinking we could have everything yellow! Yellow balloons, yellow tablecloth, and even a yellow cake!" She says, and writes it down on a little notepad.
"Well come here and we can look at some cakes together." I say. Charlotte comes around the coffee table and curls up next to me, where I have my laptop.
After a few minutes of browsing, Charlotte finally comes across one she really loves.

"And we can write Happy Birthday Charlotte on the top!" She says
We online shop a little bit more before she goes back up to her room to make a list of the things she wants for her birthday.
