Chapter 6
February 1st, 2023
Lizzie’s POV
Sam had texted me asking to bring the kids home. Hopefully they had a nice time together and were able to talk everything over. When I first saw the headlines I was shocked but I knew that Scarlett wouldn’t cheat. Paparazzi can always twist and make up stories all just for money. Not even caring what they do to people’s lives. We’re human beings too. Once we’re in the Suburban I head back to the house. The kids had so much fun at the zoo. I love my nieces and nephews so much. They always bring a smile to my face. “Are Ma and Mom going to be ok?” Sarah asks me. “Yes they will, they love each other very much,” I tell her. They better have their shit together or I’ll fight them myself, I think to myself. We pull into the driveway and I park and we get everyone out and head inside. “We’re home!” Sarah calls out. “Be right down!” Sam says from upstairs. They head downstairs and the kids automatically hug them. The little ones didn’t know what happened but Jr, Sarah and Nicky did and I knew it had affected them the most. “Thanks for taking them to the Zoo,” Scarlett says. I wave her off “anytime, we love spending time with the kids,” I say smiling. “We ordered Chinese for dinner, hope you guys are hungry,” Sam says. “Yes! Love Chinese food,” Sarah and Danny say, making us laugh. The kids disperse and go play while we wait for the food. Robbie and I walk with Sam and Scarlett into the kitchen. “Are you guys good?” Robbie asks. “Yes, we are.” They say at the same time, smiling at each other. “Good, I was worried I’d have to use my head tilt on you guys,” I say to them. “Oh God please no, it’s so scary,” Sam says hiding behind Scarlett, making us all laugh. The doorbell rings and Sam swiftly goes to answer it.

Sam’s POV
Luckily the doorbell rang, I was scared Lizzie would actually do the Scarlet Witch head tilt. Just thinking about it gives me chills. I answer the door and take the bags of food from the delivery guy and give him a generous tip. I close the door and turn to head back into the kitchen. “Food👹,” Sarah says, growling a little. “Down Sarah, we will all have food to eat,” I tell her, as I walk into the kitchen. I place the bags onto the island and open them up, taking the containers and placing them on the island. “Wow babe, did you order the whole restaurant?” Scarlett asks. “You know us Mily’s can eat,” I tell her, making her nod and chuckle. “Alright kids please come into the kitchen, grab a paper plate and get some food,” I say as they all file in. Jr helps Emma and Wyatt and Sarah helps Elizabeth. I grab a good portion of chow mein noodles with beef and an egg roll and bring my plate to the table. Scarlett makes herself a plate and when she walks over to the table I pull her chair out for her. “Thank you baby,” she says, giving me a kiss on the cheek. We start eating and listen to the kids tell us about their day at the zoo. Robbie and Lizzie really do spoil them. We see they have face paintings and they say how they got to pick out souvenirs too. They’re going to make amazing parents one day. And when they do, we’re going to spoil their kids rotten. Once we finish eating, we throw out all our plates and head into the living room. All in food comas, we decide to just hangout and relax. “Thanks for the food Ma,” Jr says, followed by the others. “You’re welcome,” I tell them. Emma, Wyatt and Elizabeth decide to do some drawing and coloring. Sarah and Nicky laugh at some tik toks on their phones. Janina is cuddled with Lizzie and Robbie and I have Scarlett in my arms, enjoying the night together.
