Scarlett’s POV
My Marine
My Marine: Look what Uncle Greg brought (image).
Me: Oh he looks so cute.
My Marine: He said to tell you he is just like Bob the builder now.
Me: Just don’t let him near any of the power tools.
My Marine: I know Baby don’t worry. How are the girls?
Me: Well I am feeding Louisa right now and Maya is asleep.
My Marine: You have them in the bed with you don’t you?
Me: How did you know?
My Marine: Because you do that with the kids all the time. It’s cute.
Me: Well Maya just woke up I will talk to you later I love you and Devon.
My Marine: We love you too.“Ok sweetie it’s ok.” I say as I put my phone down and pick Maya up in my other arm. “Sweetie you are warm. Oh I hope it’s not an ear infection again. I know you two don’t like it when I sing your Mama’s song so how about one I wrote years ago hm. Let’s see how does it go?
Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams, Arm in arm down Burgundy, A bottle and my friends and me, Hoist up a few tall cool ones, Play some pool and listen to that, Tenor saxophone calling me home, And I can hear the band begin, When The Saints Go Marching In, By the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans I'll be there, I'll drink you under the table, Be red nose go for walks, The old haunts what I wants, Is red beans and rice, And wear the dress I like so well, Meet me at the old saloon, Make sure there's a Dixie moon, New Orleans I'll be there, And deal the cards roll the dice, If it ain't that ole Chuck E. Weiss, And Claiborne Avenue me and you, Sam Jones and all, And I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams, Arm in arm down Burgundy, A bottle and my friends and me, New Orleans I'll be there.” I sing them the song and they are asleep so I take a picture and send it to Louri
My Marine
Me: I got them to sleep (Image)
My Marine: They are so cute. Remember what you said about the power tools?
Me: WHAT HAPPENED?
My Marine: He got a small cut, doesn’t even need stitches.
my phone starts to ring for a video call so I answer it expecting to see Louri. “Devon give me the phone! Hey Baby!” I hear Louri yell as Devon runs around with her phone making me laugh. I walk into the bathroom so as not to wake up the twins. “Devon, did you take Mama’s phone?” I ask. “She said she was texting you and I wanted to say hi.” He giggles as the phone falls to the couch and I see Louri tickling Devon. “Urg the tickle monster is here to get you for taking Mama’s phone.” Louri laughs as she continues to tickle Devon, making him laugh. “Hey I’m still here you two!” I call out and Louri stops tickling Devon and picks up the phone. “Sorry I had tickle monster duty. As I was saying he has a little cut that just needed a band aid but I figured I would tell you before the little Marine did and got me in trouble for not telling you he got hurt.” She says while holding Devon in her lap. “See Mommy. Mama took care of me.” Devon says, showing me his hand. “Babe you thought you’d get in trouble for a little cut?” I laugh. “No not the cut but how he got the cut. It’s silly I know.” She chuckles. “Where are my sisters?” Devon asks, searching the screen for them. “They are sleeping. I can show you if you promise to be quiet.” I tell him and he agrees. “Hey, it's your big brother. I just wanted to say hi and I love you.” He whispers through the phone and I take a screenshot of Louri looking down at him with pure love and a soft smile. I walk back to the bathroom so we can continue to talk. “Ok we can talk normally now.” I tell them. “Do you think they heard me?” He asks. “I’m sure they did little Marine.” Louri says, kissing his head. “Mama.” He whines so she messes with him and peppers his little face with kisses. “Mommy save me.” Devon groans. “Ok Louri I think you’ve kissed every inch of his head.” I laugh at her antics. “Sorry you have such a cute face.” She tells him. “You are silly Mama.” He giggles and cuddles into her more. “I’m a very silly person.” She smiles. “I’m sleepy. Can I sleep with you Mama?” Devon yawns. “Of course you can let’s say goodnight to Mommy.” She tells him. “Goodnight Mommy.” He says cutely. “Goodnight sweetheart.” I smile. “Goodnight Baby I love and I’ve got to get this one to bed,” Louri smiles. “Goodnight Babe. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. I love you.” I say blowing a kiss and she pretends to catch it before hanging up.A/N
