Paige's POV

"No!" Andrew yelled. When I tried to take my phone away from him.

"Bad baby." I said. "Give mama the phone honey." He giggled and started running around the table. I ran after him slowly making it seem like he's faster and he laughed even more.

"Awwww isn't this so cute?" Hailey said from the doorway.

"Mommy!" He squealed slowing down. I giggled finally catching the toddler and taking my phone.

"This one, is quite a handful." I said picking him up and kissing his cheek. I walked to Hailey and gave her a kiss. "How was work today baby?" I asked.

"Boring, I couldn't wait to come back home to my babies." He took Andrew into her arms kissing his cheeks. The toddler giggled kissing her back.

"Hey! How come I don't get kisses?" I asked and Hailey giggled.

"Don't be such a big baby Paige." I chuckled walking with my wife to our bedroom.

"Oh hey mother." Gray greeted descending the stairs.

"Hey baby, are you feeling okay? How's your ankle?"

So recently he tried karate and he twisted his ankle in his first fight.

"Much better, Mr Stevens said I could start training again tomorrow." I looked at him surprised.

"Sweetheart you still want to go back?" He nodded.

"I'll be careful this time, you guys don't have to worry." He said. "Okay bye!" He rushed out.

"Where is he going?" Hailey asked as we continued walking.

"His best friend's. He promised to be back before ten pm." I opened the door for her after we reached our room.

"Cammy and Aliyah still with their grandparents?" I nodded.

"Karen said Bobby will bring them back before their curfew." She sighed after putting the toddler on our bed. He started jumping up and down. "Need a massage?"

"I need more than a massage baby." I giggled blush creeping up on my face.

"Andrew is here." I said in between laughs.

"Andrew me!!" He yelled while he jumped.

"Yes genius." Hailey tickled him and he giggled. I smiled to myself seeing the way my wife played with our last child. I never thought marriage could be this good to me.

Kim's POV

"Kim?" I looked at my bedroom door and saw Anna. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah sure." I closed my computer and turned my attention to her. She sat on my bed.

"I wanted to ask you something." I nodded.

"Okay, go ahead."

"I really hope you won't be offended." I chuckled.

"I promise not to." She released a breath of relief.

"Okay, I saw your ex girlfriend today at Beta." She said. At first I thought she'd continue with a little more detail but she didn't.

"You're going to have to be a little more specific." I said.

"Paige." Oh.

"Okay and?" I asked.

"Well, you know how she's a celebrity now and I kinda think she's stylish so I-I I um.." she stammered.

"You what?"

"Askedforsomepictures withher." She said so quickly it was almost hard to understand her. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Relax Anna, I won't be mad you took pictures with Paige. What we had ended a long time ago. More than ten years ago so I don't think you should be scared about telling me something like that."

"Thank God because I already posted the pics." We laughed.

"Was that all?" I asked.

"Yeah, were you busy with work?" I nodded. "Do you ever not work?" I chortled.

"What do you mean? Of course I don't sometimes."

"Ever since we came here every little time you get you're on your computer." I chuckled.

"That's not true." I said looking at the time. "Okay go to your room, I need to finish this before I sleep." I said and she stood up.

"Fine." I was then left alone in my room.

I wondered about Paige for a while. She was now someone's wife with kids. Her life must have been going great. If I was being honest, I was happy for her and I thought that was the most mature thing to do as an ex.

Lorena's POV

I woke up early in the morning to get some workout done before going to work.

Something my best friend would probably be horrified to learn about. She knew I hated my job but off late I was starting to take interest in father's company.

Filling his big shoes will probably be a struggle but if he trusted me enough then it won't be much of a problem.

I have been groomed to be a CEO since the age of 15 after my parents discovered I was willing to chase my passion of playing the piano. I was forced to drop music classes and take business instead. Then the experience over the years which I got from working under my uncle and father. You could say that's probably the reason father wants me to take over.

I finished my workout and took a very hot shower. After my morning routine I went down for breakfast.

"Good morning family." I greeted my brothers before sitting down.

"Hey, look who is in a happy mood today?" Darius said in a mocking manner.

"It'd be deeply appreciated if you kept your mouth shut brother." I said and he laughed.

Father joined us at the table with mother beside him. "Good morning kids."

"You do know we're all over thirty right?" Walter said and I giggled.

So I have two older brothers. The first child is Walter who just recently turned forty and then Darius who is thirty seven.

Family time like this is very rare especially with Walter constantly traveling and Darius being the best surgeon in the country.

Being the youngest plus the only girl, daddy dearest begged me not to leave the house so that's why even when I have my own house, I still live here most of the time. The boys moved out a long time ago.

In addition to our family, is Walter's family. His wife and kids and Darius has a fiance he lives with.

What about me? Well I'm twenty nine and still single.

"I'm even getting married soon." Darius pointed out.

"You'll still remain kids to us." Mother said.

"Fair point." I said sipping on my tea.

"Thank you honey." Mother said while Walter gave me a dirty look.

"Traitor." He said causing me to burst out laughing.

"She was right though." I defended.

"You're still a traitor." I giggled waving him off as he laughed. Family time is really the best in my family.
