Florence POV

It was five in the fucking morning and I woke up to Aurora running into our room screaming about it being Saint Patrick's day, she wouldn't stop until I got out of bed. I had to help her find green to wear, even though she literally had an entire outfit already. She just wasn't feeling it.

I was pissed that she didn't wake up Stasi instead, mainly because I barely slept last night. I have been so ready to go home and have been restless over it. We both decided not to go out, as we don't want to deal with the whole world.

We'd be photographed, someone that knows me from our town would mention me not drinking and it would become a huge what if speculation that I did not need. I just wanted a relaxing day.

Aurora is staying with Paul and Jen tonight to give us time to pack. Tom had decided he wanted to go with them today as well.

"Good morning", Tom says as he walked into the kitchen before seeing me practically about to pass out on the island.

"Shut up for five minutes", I tell him and he softly laughed before asking, "Couldn't sleep?".

"No I couldn't, then when I finally managed to fall asleep I woke up to Rory screaming about Saint Patrick's day", I say as I looked at him as he smiled softly.

"It's almost seven thirty, I think Paul is coming soon because he just asked if I was up", he says and I nodded a little.

"Has Rory had breakfast?", he asks and I shook my head before saying, "Paul always prepares a huge breakfast, usually pancakes dyed green in the shape of a shamrock".

"Oh that's pretty cool, are you two coming for breakfast?", he asks as I heard Stasi reply, "No, I told dad that we won't be attending".

"You should go put on green Tom, or else mum will pinch you", she says as she rubs my back softly.

I watched him walk out of view before relaxing my head back on the island, she kept rubbing my back soothingly before Rory walked in.

"I'm sorry mommy, I'm sorry for waking you up. I was just excited", Rory says as she looks at me sadly.

"It's not your fault sweetie, mommy just couldn't sleep last night", I tell her to try to calm her down.

I got off the chair and crouched down to hug her before she engulfed me in a hug.

"I'm going to go watch for Papa", she says as she lets go of our hug and takes off down the hall.

"Why don't you go back to sleep? I'll prepare us our own Saint Patrick's breakfast and we'll have breakfast in bed", Stasi says before kissing the top of my head.

Aurora POV

I walked down the hall to watch for Papa as Uncle Tommy walked back down the stairs. I looked up at him as he made his way down before he smiled widely.

"I hope your prepared for this Uncle Tommy", I tell him as I stared him down making him look at me a little fearfully.

"I'm joking, it's not that bad", I tell him making him take a deep breath after sighing a little.

"The only bad thing will be Papa probably wanting to drink you under the table", I tell him with a small smirk and he gave me a look.

"He wishes he could drink me under the table, he'll be napping before anything", Uncle Tommy remarks as the front door opened.
