Louri’s POV
“Morning gorgeous.” I say to Scarlett. “Did you just take a picture of me?” She asks. “Yes and I am posting it. Or a meme I don't know yet.” I smile. “Ugh what is with you and the memes lately?” Scarlett asks. “They are fun and therapeutic.” I say. “Ok whatever you say.” She says getting out of bed.“New’s flash Wanda being blown up hurts”
[@ScarlettJohansson: Not funny Louri]
[@LouriEvans: Sorry]
[@ElizabethOlsen: Louri’s pussy whipped]
[@LouriEvans: Can you blame me tho]
[@MelanieSloan: Nasty]“Why would you write that as your caption?” Scarlett scolds. “Because it’s true.” I say. “Yeah and I’m the one that was at your hospital side every time you were hurt.” Scarlett says. “Sorry.” I tell her. “What should we do for Devon’s birthday today?” I ask. “I think a simple family day is enough.” Scarlett says. “I agree it’s been pretty chaotic since the twins were born.” I say sipping my coffee. “Morning Mama, Mommy.” Devon says walking into the kitchen as Scarlett is making his favorite waffles. “Happy birthday little Marine.” I say scooping him up. “I’m three!” He says proudly. “Yes you are. I’m making your favorite.” Scarlett says just as I hear the twins cry through the monitor. “I’ll get them.” I say sitting Devon on the bar stool. “Hey little ones, are we hungry? Yeah I’ll take you downstairs so you can get your breakfast.” I say picking them up one in each arm and carefully bringing them downstairs to the kitchen. “Looks like it’s feeding time, I can take over making breakfast while you feed them.” I say to Scarlett. “Yes please, can you put Maya in the bouncer while I feed Lousia?” She asks as I nod handing her Louisa and placing Maya in the bouncer and giving her a pacifier to keep her from crying while I go over to the stove pouring pancake batter into the pan. Scarlett sits at the table and lifts her shirt to feed Louisa, “oh she latched on quick, someone’s hungry” she says. I glance over and mumble lucky under my breath but Scarlett catches it and looks over at me. “Really Louri?” She asks. “What? I don’t like sharing what’s mine” I reply shrugging my shoulders and flipping a pancake. Scarlett chuckling and shaking her head.
“Mama can Grandpa Sherman and Grandma Mildred come over for my birthday please?” Devon asks coming up to me and leaning on my leg looking at me with the biggest puppy eyes. “Sure thing Devon I don’t see why not, I will call Grandpa Sherman as soon as I finish making breakfast.” “Yes!” He exclaims. I mean how can you say no to those eyes.Scarlett POV
I finish feeding Louisa and pass her to Louri to burp her while I feed Maya. “Should we invite Lizzie and Robbie too since they are here in New York as well?” I ask Louri. “Yes! Auntie Lizzie and Uncle Robbie”Devon chants. “Well I guess that answers the question” Louri chuckles as she burped Louisa and put her in the other bouncer and starts plating breakfast. “I’ll send Lizzie a text.” Grabbing my phone and shooting a quick text to Lizzie. “Babe do you think you can run to the store and get some burgers and hot dogs? I think it’s nice enough to have a small cookout” “yeah I’ll head to the store after we eat” Louri replies. “Mama can I come to the store with you too?” Devon asks with syrup all over his mouth. Louri laughs and grabs a napkin and wipes his face. “Of course you can little Marine” she says smiling. “Will you be ok at home with the twins while we run to the store?” She asks me. “Yeah babe, I just fed them I think they’ll knock out and I’ll just keep an eye on them while you’re at the store”. I reply as she nods her head.Louri POV
We finish eating breakfast and I wash the
dishes and I tell Devon to put his shoes on so we can leave. “Babe are you sure you’ll be ok while we go to the store” I ask Scarlett just making sure. “Yes babe, now go and hurry back before everyone gets here” she responds. I pick Devon up as he giggles and bring him out to the truck and putting him in his car seat and heading off to the store. “Alright buddy we are only here for a couple things and then we gotta head back for the cookout” I say as I park the truck in the parking lot and carrying him inside the store. “Mama can I sit in the cart?” Devon asks. I nod and pick him up sitting him in the cart and start pushing the cart down the aisles.
We grab everything we need, pay and head home.
Carrying the groceries inside I call out to Scarlett. “Babe, we’re home” I say placing the grocery bags on the kitchen island. Scarlett comes walking down the stairs, “keep it down I just put them down in their cribs”. She says. “Sorry babe” I say giving her a kiss on the cheek and unloading the bags. “Mommy, mama got me a marvel cake with you on it!” Devon says excitedly. “Really babe?” Scarlett asks turning to me after seeing the cake. “What? It looks so cool and I’m not going to deny him a cake with his mommy on it” I smirk a little as she rolls her eyes. “Fine” she huffs, “least I look decent on the cake”A/N
