*Aoife's POV*

I sat at our kitchen table, drawing and doodling on paper with my brothers. By that time, we had already played Mario Kart, Uno, and gone down the street to the playground, which they had gotten bored because of there not being any kids there. Such a tricky thing, school vacation. Especially since they weren't my kids, but I had them quite often, ever since May 19th, when they got done with their first year of Kindergarten.

"Where's Chwis?" Rhett asked, vigorously scribbling purple circles onto the blank sheet of paper. "He'll be here soon, I think---" I said, finishing drawing a terrible rendition of a dog. "Effy---your phone's buzzing." Ashton called from the living room. "Oh--" I said, getting up from the chair, I made my way into the living room and Ashton tossed my phone at me from where he sat on the couch. "What's up?" I answered once I saw it was Matt. "Hey, it's Chris." Chris' voice chimed in, creating a smile on my face, "My phone's on aux---but I wanted to call and tell you we're on the way." He said. "Okay, sweet--when you get here, just park in that parking lot to the left of the building---in the spot marked 4B12, that's out second spot." I said, sitting down on the recliner. "Okay, we'll be there in like twenty--right?" I heard him asked, "Yeah Matt says we'll be there in twenty---" Chris replied. "Okay sweet---" I said again, thinking he'd end the call. "So what are you guys doing?" He asked. "Chris, you can figure it out when we get there---don't drain my phone." I heard Matt say. "Okay, fine---we'll see you in a bit." Chris said reluctantly. "Okay--" I laughed lightly, "See you soon---drive safe, bye-bye." I said, then hung up the call.

I shook my head as I put my phone in my back pocket, "I think you're right, Ash---he is simpin." I laughed lightly, sitting back down at the kitchen table with the boys. "I told you, and he always says oh, I'd be sinner if I simped, I'd be a sinner if I ever let anyone in--but here he is, simpin without hesitation." Ashton said, walking into the kitchen. He went to the fridge, "We don't have anything to drink." He whined, "I'm gonna walk to the corner store--I'll be right back, do you want anything?" He asked. "Yeah sure, can you get me a Coke, and probably a Pepsi and Root beer---" "And Dr Pepper?" Ashton smirked, "Thinkin of your boys, are ya?" He asked. "Well idk if they'll stop--and if we don't have anything here, it's nice when entertaining." I said, holding out my hand with my debit card in it, "Thank you, love you---" I said with a smile as he took my card with a smirk on his face. "You're simpin too, don't be fooled." He said. "Oh, I know." I said. "Effy---" Rhett said. "Yeah buddy?" I asked. "What's simpin?" He asked. I chuckled, "It means you really really like someone." I said. "Like a cwush?" He asked, I nodded, "You have a cwush on Chwis?" Owen asked. "I do." I nodded, "I think he has a crush on me too." I said. "He must if he simpin." Rhett said seriously, causing me to burst into laughter.

About fifteen minutes passed, and Ashton had walked back through the front door, "Look who I found pulling into the parking lot." He said, carrying a plastic bag, holding the door open for the three guys. I leaned back in my chair in the kitchen to look over, to where I saw the three of them taking off their shoes. "This place is quaint." Nick said. "Quaint sounds like a sideways way of saying tiny af." Ashton chuckled, shutting the door behind all of them. I stood from my chair and stepped into the living room just as Chris stood up from taking off his shoes. A smirk grew on his face as soon as he saw me, he held out his arms after he took off his backpack. I walked over and wrapped my arms around his shoulders as he hugged me tight. "Did ya miss me?" I asked once we pulled away from the hug. "Mhm---" Chris nodded, "Can I kiss you or will they flip?" He asked. I glanced back at the boys just as Matt got over to them, "Matt, that's---" I went to introduce. "Hi Chwis---" Owen greeted Matt once he and Nick were by the table. "That's not Chwis---that is--" Rhett turned and pointed briefly, "Are you Chwis' bwothers?" Rhett asked. "I'm Matt, this is Nick---" Matt said, sitting at one of the chairs, "We're triplets, like you guys are twins." Matt explained, "Just like there are two of you, there is three of us." He informed them. "That's so cool!" Rhett and Owen both said.

I brought my attention back to Chris, "I don't think they'll mind---" I said with a shrug. Chris smirked and dipped down to kiss my lips, his hands on either side of my face as we shared a few kisses. "Mm---" He hummed once he pulled away, before he leaned down and kissed me quickly twice, then kissed my forehead before we went to join the others in the kitchen. Where Matt was playing hang-man with Rhett and Owen while Nick just observed. "You're really good with kids, Matt." I said after observing their interaction, "Also, real bold for letting Owen choose a word---he will change it halfway through to trick you." I warned him. "Heyyy---you're not supposed to tell my secwets." Owen said. "Heyyy, no cheating---Matt's already bad enough with words." Chris joked, causing the rest of us to laugh.

My brothers really seemed to like Chris and his brothers, which I was glad about because if they didn't like them; they'd tell my parents and then my parents wouldn't be as supportive going forward. They typically made all their opinions on people based on if their two little boys liked them or not, which I found silly seeing as they hadn't ever done that when if came to Liam or I. But I suppose it could have been that Rhett and Owen were the last children they would have. So they could prioritize them more, or something.

"Are you guys hungry?" I asked the boys. "Yeah, kinda---a snack would be good, please." Rhett said, so politely it made my heart happy. "Awww, of course buddy---" I got up from the table and went over to the fridge. I got out a couple of apples, and oranges and grabbed a cutting board to peel and slice the fruit before I put their servings on their little plates and then put the rest on a platter for the guys. "Here you go buddies." I placed Rhett's plate in front of him, "And yours Owey." I placed Owen'sin front of him. "Thanks---"
They said sweetly before they grabbed a slice of apple. I placed the platter plate in the middle, "In case you guys were peckish." I said. "Oooo, a snack--" Matt said, "Thank you." He added, I smiled and nodded. "Thanks babe." Chris said,wrapping his arm around my back as he looked up at me. "Babe?" Matt questioned quietly, Chris didn't say anything just gave a slight happy nod, earning a questionable look. I'm assuming due to the fact Chris typically didn't like any 'pet' names for people.

The evening went quit fast with us just playing different games and chilling with my brothers. Before we knew it, it was 5:30pm and my mother and father were on their way to pick them up.
