It's classification day for Riley. he is finally 18 but when he gets his results things turn for the worst quickly when he has to stay with his brother until he gets assigned a Caregiver.
Emily is 20 and has been a Mommy without a little for 2 year...
I woke up to the sounds of loud footsteps and the zipping of bags. I see mommy and Daddy packing suitcases. There are many filled with clothes but not just theirs. Leah's, Russo's and mine.
"Mommy, out please" I ask which mommy quickly takes me out but goes back to packing things. I go downstairs and there is a moving van outside the window with nobody in the front.
"Hey there bud, you hungry" Pop pop asks me. I give him a hug and nod. Pointing at the porridge packets on the side. He starts to make me up strawberry porridge. Im watching him make it but get startled when a voice comes from behind me.
"Oh my goodness. Marcus, come here and meet one of the boys" The woman approaches me. "I'm Kathrine but you can call me Nanny K. I'm Damon's mum and...MARCUS is his dad" She smiles at me, she speaks with a posh British accent. A man walks in after a few moments who I assume is Marcus.
"What are you on about you old hag" The man says in a dry old voice that has a thick accent, northern Irish I think... Opposing the the accent his wife had.
"Oh shut up you deaf bastard. Say hello to one of our sons children" Kathrine snaps back making me chuckle softly.
"Riley, my names Riley." I say to Nanny K. She smiles at me and gives me a hug. Peaches and pastry. That's what she smells like, peach cobbler, the delicious scent tickling my nose making me want to hug her longer.
"Awh Marcus isn't he the cutest thing you-... Marcus what the fuck are you doing" she stands up from her bend forward position. Holding my hand gently as Marcus hobbled to the couch.
"I'm sitting down before you break my legs woman" He says sitting down. Daddy comes downstairs so I run up to him and jump, luckily he picks me up. "Damon, your mother is trying to kill me. She is after me money again."
"Like you have any money you broke prick" She retorts, laughing at her own joke.
"Children" Damon sighs which I giggle at. Pop pop is finally done with my porridge so Damon helps me get my bib on. Russo and Leah come downstairs too, Leah greets both Nanny K and Marcus. Russo looks just as confused as I was. The whole scene starting again.
Pop pop and Damon are moving furniture out the house. Nanny K and mommy are packing up other things. Mommy looks like she hasn't slept. She spends all day packing boxes, I'm not interested so I focus on my porridge.
*Emily*
"Marcus, can you get off your far arse and help" Kathrine says in a snap. Married 60 years, I can see why they fight like kids alot, I can't help but laugh.
"Help with what. Exorcising whatever demon is in you? Someone needs too you devil" Marcus retorts. Damon seems so done with both of them and I can't honestly tell how such a reserved and patient man came from these two.
"Can both of you act like regular people for five seconds and get things done." Damon sighs.
"Yes Marcus shut the fuck up so e don't seem like assholes in front of our sons girlfriend, maybe future wife" Kathrine says in a hopeful tone. I smile nervously, trying to focus on what I'm doing.
"Maybe she will be if you two don't scare her" Damon says in a sigh carrying out more furniture with my dad. I nearly drop the glass I pick up as I think about what he said.. 'Maybe she will be'.
I hadn't considered that I might one day get married to anyone but maybe he has thought about it. Not just with ANYONE but with me... I feel my heart beating loud in my chest. I'm brought back when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"You alright dear?" Kathrine asks and I nod with a smile. She smiles back and goes to help Marcus move to a different seat so Damon and Dad can carry the couch out and to the truck. This was a very last minute choice but I can't keep killing people here. I am running out of places to dispose of them.
Damon already put the association worker in the truck in a box with air holes. She has to come with, maybe she will die on route...
After packing all day dad takes all three littles in the car and me in his car while Damon and His parents drive the moving van. I watch my first house fade out of view. Nothing important was left there... But I'll miss it, the house just isn't big enough or hidden away enough.
Damon brought us this gorgeous house out in the forbidden area's. What I learned very quickly is that the forbidden areas are only forbidden because the association doesn't have "approved" land there.
So he had a house built for us all, in the middle of nowhere. After a long drive we finally get there. Double doors open into a open floor living room/kitchen. There is a door that leads into a dining room and upstairs there are 5 bedrooms and a custom made pet room.
All the littles run round eager to explore as we start unpacking. Marcus sitting down as soon as the couch is moved in as he has weak legs. Kathrine looks after him, he knows she loves him.
"Cheeky bastard" She says with a chuckle as he smacks her ass gently.
"You still got it you foxy lady" He says with a crusty wink. She rolls her eyes and he leans back into the chair while we unpack... Bye house.
