Chapter #32
Scarlett’s POV
“Louri, Babe, this is the fifth time.” I say as she sends Chris to voicemail. “He shouldn’t have scared Louisa.” She says I love when she’s protective. “True he knows she doesn’t like loud noises and he should have thought of that before bursting in the way he did but Louri he tried to apologize and he is your brother and we both know you hate it when you guys fight.” I say and she sighs. “Why do you have to be right so much?” She chuckles and picks up her phone and calls Chris and puts it on speaker since it’s a little difficult to hold a toddler and the phone at the same time.
“Louri I’m sorry really I am, is Louisa ok?” Chris says as he answers the phone.
“She is now. I’ve got you on speaker Scarlett is here too.” She tells him.
“Hey.” I say.
“Hey Scar. Look I shouldn’t have barged in like that. It wasn't ok and I feel horrible about it and yelling at you sis I hate when we fight can I come in?” He asks and I look outside and his truck is still in the driveway.
“Yes you can, we can resolve this face to face.” Louri says as I point to his truck.
“Ok I’m still in your driveway so I’ll be right in.” He says before hanging up.
“Ugh fuck he felt so bad he couldn’t leave till we made up.” Louri says. “Bad word.” Louisa scolds. “Did a two year old just scold me?” She chuckles. “I’m almost tree.” Louisa says. “Three honey, not tree.” I tell her and she shrugs yep that is definitely Louri’s daughter. “Hey.” Chris says standing awkwardly in the doorway of the dining room. “I’ll take the kids.” Mom says and she takes Louisa and the second Louisa is out of Louri’s arms she starts to cry. “Or not.” Mom says and hands Louisa back to Louri and Louisa stops crying instantly, but she takes Maya and Devon into the living room and I hear her put on Frozen II. “I have to apologize to my princess too.” Chris says sitting across from Louri. When Chris says his princess Louisa smiles he only calls Louisa that and he calls Maya his little angel. “Yes you do.” I say and it comes out a lot more aggressively than I meant it to. “Princess I’m really sorry for yelling like I did and making the door make a big noise. Uncle Chrissy feels really bad about it. I hate it when you or your siblings get scared and I never want to scare you. Can you forgive me?” He says in a soft voice he only uses it with kids. “It’s otay Uncle Chrissy. You are my Uncle. I can't stay not happy with you. You don’t scare me.” Louisa says, making Chris smile widely. “I’m happy I don’t scare you Louisa.” He says. “No.” Louisa says, shaking her head. “No, what?” I ask. “I not Louisa for Uncle Chrissy, I'm Princess.” She says in the most serious voice a two year old can use. “That’s right you are my Princess.” Chris chuckles. “Yes.” She smiles. “Can Uncle Chrissy have a hug?” He asks. “Do Mama have to let go?” She asks, grabbing Louri’s shirt. “No, I can hug you and you don’t have to leave Mama’s arms.” He says and she nods so he gets up and so does Louri and he walks around the table and she lets go of Louri’s neck and he wraps one arm around her and she hugs his neck as he bends down a little bit since he’s seven inches taller than Louri. “I love you Princess.” He says “I wove you Uncle Chrissy.” She says and he goes back to his seat and Louri sits back down and Louisa is quick to wrap her arms around Louri’s neck. “Now Louri.” He says. “Who dat?” Louisa asks. “I am. Remember I told you that when you asked what these say.” Louri tells her pointing to her tags. “No you Mama.” She says making us all chuckle. “That is your child.” Chris says. “Yes she inherited my stubbornness.” Louri smiles. “Babe I don’t think that’s a good thing.” I tell her. “Chris, there is no need to apologize to me. We both know I would have done the same if I were in your shoes. I forgive you.” Louri says. “Thank you.” He says. “Come on, let's join the others.” I say and we go into the living room and join them and Mom looks like she’s having a migraine from watching Frozen II for the eighth time in three days. “You get used to it.” I tell her as I sit next to her on the couch. “How?” She asks. “You just do.” I tell her.
