The days were long but the nights were even longer I was running off little or no sleep most days but the list was getting shorter and shorter and the danger for us all got higher every time a name got crossed off the list.
"Mom get some sleep I'll take over"
"No! you guys have school tomorrow go back to sleep now, we've been over this more times than I can remember and I'm sick of you guys not staying in a kids place"
"Mom your exhausted" Nathan pleaded his eyes bricked up with tears but in this life you have to know when to listen to who's in charge because one split second everything can be fucked up
"your aunts and uncles are arriving today from there missions! I'll sleep when the house is full until then every single one of you return to bed and get some sleep! remember what we taught you! Be ready at all times and get out when you can if anything happens"
I haven't seen my husband in two months I feared of the worst news possible everytime he calls me to tell me updates and to check on the kids
"mom we're not going anywhere lay down and relax it's four of us and we'll take turns on watching Stephani and the house, a few hours wouldn't hurt you"
"Mrs James, I'll watch the family with my life okay? Your no good for a fight if your tired even a good soldier sleeps sometimes"
"Twenty minutes than I'll be good"
I got up from the private security room my body was aching my eyes were dry from lack of sleep. Entering my daughters room I laid beside her drifting off to sleep
——
I moved around in bed slowly waking up I was surprised that the time read five pm when I looked at my phone
I had missed calls from Stephan and essence. Stephani was no where in sight I rushed out of bed and down the stairs to see the kids eating dinner with Stephan and his siblings
"calm down those nerves of yours Zia the kids are safe"
I glared at Ethan
"Don't start with me Ethan"
"moglie how did you sleep?"
"It was good. Where's Taylor?"
"I'm right here girlie"
I stared at Taylor like she grew two heads I know anything is possible but how
"I was going to tell you once they were here"
"That wasn't much time at all Taylor a- Wait! They?"
"Twins" she said grinning
"Im so happy for you omgg! But hun it's not safe for you to be here"
"You think I was gonna be left in Italy by myself no ma'am"
"What are they?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise but enough about meee you looking like your growing another"
The sound of Stephan and Nathan choking on there food was heard
"mom isn't pregnant"
"And how would you know Nathan? Shit is amberbella pregnant?"
Stephan choking on his food again was heard
"Stephan learn how to eat your food!" Taylor yelled
"No one is pregnant Taylor!" Stephan sighed
"I had a dream about purple fish" genesis spoken
"Purple fish?"
"I had a dream about fish I didn't know know what it meant" Stefina exclaim
"Zia you know better than anyone that those purple fish dreams don't lie" Hayley butted in
"Hey Hayley" I smiled
"Long time no see girlie"
"How have you been? No kids yet?"
"AI wish I would let one of these creatures impregnate me, I barley know why you let Stephan hit"
"Look at me"
"Babyfathered? brother is that what you mean" Ethan snickered
"Atleast my dick works"
"Hey! Watch your mouth around my child"
"I wouldn't dare bring another male into this family Zia that's Another reason you and Taylor are the babymommas, I'm the Rich auntie"
"rich aunties cashapps there niece and nephews"
"I thought the rich auntie was suppose to spoil the neice that came back from the dead"
"I no longer want to be the rich auntie it seems to me your kids beg to much"
"They also sneak and have parties" Stephan grinned
"Well are you lads laying pipe yet"
"Ethan! What kind of question is that"
"we're leaving this conversation"
"Well amberabella have you found a nice boy yet?" Hayley asked
"she's dating my son Hayley where the hell have you been?"
"Your dating blake?"
"Why would she be dating blake" Nathan sneered
"Your a little crazy just like your dad aren't you kid"
"I'm dating Nathan auntie"
"I can see that now"
"Where's Jordan?"
"He stayed back to help mom and Alex they'll be here soon"
"Well aren't your birthdays coming up? Make a list of what you want now"
the sadness and pain seem to follow around the table Stefina haven't celebrated a birthday in eleven years, blake and Nathan were never able to be happy on there birthday after all there sister was apparently dead. Zia mind was back in the hospital and back in that buring building where she thought she lost her daughter and Stephan who has never been able to celebrate his kids birthday with them was having a little resentment for his wife but that quickly faded as he understood her pain and what it must of been like for her
"Why did everyone get so glum"
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist Luca"
"You guys are getting the biggest party this year whatever you want me and your mom will make it happen"
"You guys don't have too"
"We have too and we will" I had too make sure they got everything they ever wanted
"Make your lists soon so we can make sure everything is perfect"
"Is it even safe for all that"
"Well let's just say we only have three names to cross off and I don't think their going to be a problem right now" Stephan jaw tightened
"what about the others"
"It's all unpredictable but don't worry"
"Wife, I haven't gotten a kiss since I've been back nor a hug it's been two months"
I smiled and hugged my mann and gave him a peck
"What kind of kiss was that"
"I just got up I have morning breath"
" thank god you know I couldn't take it any longer"
"Fuck you ethan"
"Kids get to school come straight home after"
