Scarlett's POV

"Will ye be quiet. Aye Hunter I'm happy tae see ye tae but Scarlett is sleeping and I deh want ye tae wake her." I hear Jan say and I open my eyes to see her standing in the doorway of our room talking to my twin. "I missed you dummy." He says. "Oh god ye have the pout tae. Come here." She says and pulls my twin into a hug making me smile. "Did ye fly from New York just tae see me?" She asks when they pull away. "Maybe. And to see my cute nieces." He says. "Give me my wife back, Hunt." I joke. "I have been summoned." Jan laughs. "Can I set up in the guest room?" He asks. "Go for it." I say and he gives me a smile and a nod and Jan one more hug before she closes the door and comes back to bed. "Oh my god it's two in the morning." I say looking at the alarm clock on the nightstand. "He just showed up and knocked on the bedroom door." Jan says. "He does have a key to this house but at least he knocked on the bedroom door." I say. "That is true I would hate for him tae walk in on something." Jan smirks. "Oh like what?" I ask. "This." she says and starts to tickle me. "I yeld. AH!" I laugh. "Mmm my New Yorker." She says pulling me close. "My Scotswoman." I say before Riley's monitor goes off. "Better get her before she wakes her sister." I say and Jan tells me she's got it and goes to our youngest. "No those arenae any use tae ye. Ye are going tae want Mommy's for that." I hear making me laugh. "Someone is hungry." Jan says. "I heard you through the monitor." I say and reach out for Riley. "I'll get a burp cloth." Jan says as she realizes she didn't grab one so she goes to get one and returns with the Nessie themed one of course. "She's definitely my child." Jan says. "Yeah she's got your eyes." I say. "And love of tits." Jan grins. "You ruined a perfectly cute moment." I groan. "I couldnae resist." She says as I hand her Riley to burp. "OH MY GOD CLAIRE!!" Hunter squeals happily and we hear him run to our room. "Look who walked to say hi to their Uncle." He smiles widely. "Did ye go say hi tae Uncle Hunter Aingeal?" Jan smiles happily. "And she didn't cry when he yelled." I point out. "Because I'm better than Uncle Liam, Uncle Adrian and Uncle Conor aren't I sweetie?" Hunt says and Claire nods and he does a little victory dance but is still careful with the two year old. "She's two, Hunt she doesn't know what you said." I say. "She does cry when Liam raises his voice. And she barely kens Adrian." Jan says and she has a point. "Hwntwer." She says, wrapping her arms around his neck. "She said my name." He tears up. "Ok it's official yer the favorite uncle." Jan says and grabs her phone. "Who are you calling?" I ask. "Oh we have tae rub it in the other's faces." Jan smiles mischievously. "Yes we do. Call Adrian first." Hunter says oh lord I'm happy that my family loves Jan but when Hunter and her get together trouble ensues. "What the fuck do you want?" Adrian answers. "Deh cuss in front of my bairns." Jan scolds. "Janet you're actually back!" He yells through the phone. "Aye I'm back and have a two month old in my arms so no cussing." Jan says. "Sorry. I didn't see who was calling. What do I owe the pleasure of this call?" He asks. "Well I have some news." Jan says in a sad tone. "Oh god what happened?" My brother panics. "Ye arenae Claire's favorite Uncle." Jan says. "No! That's not true. She loves me." He says oh my god he's genuinely upset that a two year old has a preference. "I'm flying out just to prove you wrong." He says and we hear what sounds like him putting the phone down. "UNCLE ADRIAN IS COMING!" He shouts and hangs up. "Oh my god my siblings are competitive over the most stupid shit." I say. "Liam's next." Hunter says. "Hey sis. Did ye make it tae LA ok?" Liam answers. "Aye I did, I have something tae tell ye." She says. "Oh what's that?" He asks. "Hunter is Claire's favorite." She says. "Oh I kent that Hunter is Claire's favorite. She doesnae cry if he raises his voice. Colly, give me my phone!" He says. "Hey what is this bullshit about Hunter being Claire's favorite? I'm her favorite other than ye and Scarlett." Colleen says. "Favorite Uncle." Jan clarifies. "Oh true. Sorry love but it is." She says most likely to Conor. "She even said his name." I say. "She must have Scarlett's brains then." I hear Conor say. "Agreed. Bye." Jan says and hangs up. "Adrian wouldnae really fly out would he?" Jan asks. "He just texted me his flight details." I tell her. "Oh my at least my brother was cool with it." She laughs. "Colleen flipped out though." I say. "She's very protective of the girls." Hunt says. "As much as I love spending time with my nieces and you guys I am exhausted from the flight and need some sleep so here is a sleeping Claire." He says handing me Claire. "Good night Hunt." I say rubbing Claire's back to help keep her asleep. "Can they stay with us?" Jan asks. "We just have to be careful with Riley, she's still so little." I say. "I wasnae going tae move her from my chest." Jan says as she sits against the headboard.
