After  hours of helping the girls get back to sleep after there many nightmares I am now sitting at the kitchen counter , at seven am, nursing my coffee in hopes it will wake me up just a little at least.
I won't lie I'm fucking exhausted however it's all worth it because for the last hour no one has woken up crying, no thrashing no screaming just bliss which means my little plan worked they've all calmed.
"Hey Christian, do you want some coffee, I made a fresh pot?" I call out as I walk back into the living room only to find him cuddled up with one of the spare blankets for the girls, I giggle a little and walk over I run my fingers through his hair and look down at him, for a man covered in tattoos and build like a frigen human transformer he definitely looks cute hugging the life out of a hello kitty blanket.
I giggle again and walk back towards the kitchen but before I get to the door he calls for me "hey sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep I'm up don't worry" he says as he roses from the sofa in a zombie like way and rubs his eyes "it's okay you need the sleep hun go to sleep it's fine I've got it from here" I walk over and kiss his forehead "okay well I'll only have an hour then it's your turn okay?" "Okay" "do you promise though because I doubt you actually will sleep" I shake my head smiling "yes Christian I promise, cross my heart" I smirk "okay night baby girl" he kisses me and I almost want to insist he stays awake to continue but I don't "night marshmallow" I walk back into the kitchen and open my laptop, wellll.... It looks like everything is sorted for the girls to go home and new  homes have been arranged for those who don't want too or have been unable to return ,the only issue is a few families dont have financial stability so im going to need to fix that. I could always give them jobs at my fount business? They would be safer there then in the mafia i suppose, okay thats the plan.
My enterprise is named after my assassin name as i have no reason to hide anything its called Birds of prey and i have restaurants, bakeries, botequies, jewellery stores and my favorite and my first business my weapon stores and my medication brand , i started my buissnesses when me and the gang got out of 'school' because i wanted to turn our dirty money clean so we could buy things and stay under the raydar but it soon turned into a whole thing and honestly i dont keep track of it, its bad i know but once a month i go through everything so i guess im fine and the guys help with bits so were good.
The serum I injected myself with yesterday was actually a chemical I created, it a mix of adrenaline and epinephrine it's basically a chemical mix to make someone very agitated as I worked out that the best way for me to stay awake is to me super pissed off, not that's me everyday or whatever.
Anyways back on track, okay so i need jobs for; ava, charlotte and amelia's parents that should be simple enough, i write down their numbers and start with charlotte.

"Hello this is lilith black we spoke yestarday" i say to the father on the other end "yes hello lilith is there something wrong? is my angel okay, oh god is she hurt please just tell me"
"Wow, calm down sir, yes she is perfectly fine she is currently sleeping, i just received notice that you and your wife are currently experiencing some financial dificulties and was wondering what sectors you both work in" i say trying to be as polite as possible, theres no need to be a bitch, weve all been there.
"Oh okay... um i work im a welder and my wife is a cleaner, may i ask why you are asking?" "ah perfect well sir i own a few businesses so i thought it was a perfect opportunity to help your family out, but may i ask what is it your wife aspires to be?" he goes silent for a second then a women answers the phone "hello lilith um my husband says you want to talk to me"
"Hello mrs sanders i was wondering what it is you aspire to be?"
"Well... i suppose i have always wanted to be a baker however i dont have the money to go to culinary school so thats always been out of the question, why?" i smile, i hope shes okay with this.
"That sounds perfect, can you put me on speaker please?"
"Okay your on speaker, dear come here please"
"Great well, i have a job opportunity for you sir at my weapons store and your wife at my bakery however firstly i would like to offer isabella the opportunity to go to culinary school prior, how does that sound?" i ask
"Oh my god, miss black are you sure, you have already done enough for me and my family??"
I laugh lightly "it would bring me anemse joy to enure that charlotte is financially stable and your family is happy so what do you say?"
"Yes! Yes! Thank you so much miss we are forever in your debt you have given me my daughter back, a job and made my wifes dreams come true thank you so much!"
"Youre very welcome, ill bring all the nessasary paperwork when i bring your daughter home later this evening, have a good day mrs and mr sanders"
"You two miss black and thank you once more"
I put the phone down and sigh, one down two more to go.
