Saturday
Kian's POV
Today is the day I go pick up the boys. James is super excited and keeps asking when he's going to see them.
I got out of bed and took a shower. I put on a tye dye blue, purple, and white tank top, skinny jeans, and blue vans. I did my hair and brushed my teeth.
It's only 7:30 and James doesn't wake up till around 8:30, which is when I'm supposed to pick up the boys.
I woke up Jc and told him to listen for James and that I would be back in 2 1/2 hours.
I grabbed my wallet, keys, and phone. I went downstairs and went out to the driveway. I got in my car and drove to the Orphanage.
1 Hour Later
I pulled up to the orphanage and went inside. Ms. Casey was sitting at her desk.
"Hello Mr. Lawley. The boys are almost ready for you. I just need you to sign the adoption papers." She said.
She handed me a clipboard and ran off. I sat down and filled out the forms.
I am now the father of Justin William Lawley, Jesse Owen Lawley, and Johnathan Micheal Lawley.
By the time I finished, Ms. Casey came down with one little boy on her hip and two little boys walking next to her.
"Mr. Lawley, this is Johnny, Jesse, and Justin. Boys, this is your new Daddy." She said.
Johnny was wearing a Monsters Inc hoodie, khaki shorts, and black, grey, and green velcro shoes.
Jesse was wearing an Incredibles t-shirt, black shorts, and red high-top Converse.
Justin was wearing a black and green long sleeve Toy Story shirt, dark jean shorts, and black Vans.
"Hi." Jesse and Justin said with a huge smile.
Johnny looked scared and hid in Ms. Casey's shoulder.
"Hey. It's okay buddy." I said.
He slowly peaked his head out and gave a little wave. He was definitely a lot smaller than the rest of the boys.
"You guys wanna meet your brother?" I asked.
Justin and Jesse nodded really fast and Johnny just looked at me. He held his arms out to me and I smiled. I set him on my hip and he laid his head on my shoulder.
"They are all still potty training, but you just need to ask them if they have to go everyone now and then. Johnny seems to be having the most trouble with it. They all need pull-ups when they go to sleep." She said.
I nodded and she handed me a black suitcase. She helped me carry the boys out to the car and said bye to the boys. She left and I put them in their car seats. I put the suitcase in the trunk and got in the front.
"Daddy?" Justin asked.
"Yes buddy?" I said.
"What's our brother's name?" He asked.
"James." I said.
"Daddy?" Jesse said.
"Yes?" I said.
"Do we have a Mommy?" He asked.
"Uh...No..." I said.
Johnny hadn't said a word. I looked back at him and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Johnny, you okay bud?" I asked.
He nodded. I sighed and turned back around. We pulled up the driveway and I helped the kids out of the car. Johnny wanted me to carry him. We went inside and JJ was giving James some oatmeal.
"Daddy!" James yelled with a big smile.
As soon as Johnny heard more voices, he started lightly whining and hid his face in my chest.
"Shhh you're okay." I said, rubbing his back.
He stopped whining, but didn't show his face.
JJ, Jc, and James walked over to us.
"Guys, meet Justin, Jesse, and Johnny Lawley. Boys, meet your Uncle Jc, your Uncle JJ and your brother James." I said.
"Hiya!" Jesse said with a big smile.
"Hey." Justin said.
Johnny didn't say anything, he just wrapped his arms around my next and clung to me like a koala.
"Hey Johnny. Wanna read a book?" I asked.
His head slightly perked up at the word book. He lightly nodded and we went upstairs. Jesse and Justin's face lit up. They made a beeline for the toys and James ran with them. JJ and Jc sat down with them too.
As they played, I sat down with Johnny in my lap and grabbed one of James' picture books.
Johnny didn't want to play with the rest of the boys. After I would finish one book, he would keep asking for another.
"Boys do you have to go to the bathroom?" I asked.
Justin nodded and ran to the bathroom. He came back 2 minutes later. Jesse went after him.
"What about you Johnny?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"Book." He said.
I slightly smiled and we kept looking though books. As I was reading one book, I felt a wet spot forming on my legs.
"Johnny..." I said, knowing it was him.
He looked up at me and his lip started quivering.
"Sowy Daddy!" He said and started crying.
I sighed and lifted him up. A giant wet spot was on the front of his shorts. I sighed and stood up. I changed him into a yellow and white Spongebob tank top and white basketball shorts.
"Buddy, why didn't you tell me if you had to go?" I asked as I put him into a new pair of underwear.
"I dunno..." He said.
"Well tell me next time okay?" I said. He nodded, rubbed his eyes, and started crying.
"It's okay buddy. It was an accident." I whispered, rubbing his back.
He stopped crying but was sniffling.
I grabbed a blue and white pacifier and gave it to him. He immediately calmed down.
I smiled and put him back down with the boys.
"Daddy, I'm hungwy." Justin said after a while.
"Jc, JJ, can you guys watch them while I make lunch?" I asked.
They nodded, but Johnny didn't want me to leave. He ran to me and clutched to my legs.
"I wanna go wit Daddy." He said.
I smiled and picked him up.
I carried him downstairs and set him on the counter. I started making Mac&Cheese with a side of broccoli.
"Boys, foods ready!" I yelled as I put Johnny in his high chair.
They all came flooding downstairs and I put the babies in their high chairs. I gave them their food and a baby fork. Justin had a hard time getting the food in his mouth, so I had to help him. Then Jesse wouldn't eat his veggies.
"C'mon buddy. Your brothers are eating them." I said, putting the fork to his mouth again.
"No!" He whined, shaking his head.
"C'mon Jesse." I said.
He got mad, grabbed the fork, and chucked it across the kitchen, hitting Jc in the back.
"Oww!!!" He yelled.
"Hey! We don't throw!" I said firmly.
I took him out of his high chair and carried him upstairs.
"You're going in time out for throwing that fork. You could have hurt your Uncle." I said, putting him in his crib.
He got mad and started shaking the crib rails, wanting to get out. A few seconds later, he started crying.
2 minutes later, he was still crying but calmed down somewhat.
"Are you gonna be a good boy now?" I asked.
He nodded and wiped his face with his hands.
"I sowy Daddy." He said, sniffling.
"It's okay. Can I have a hug?" I asked.
He nodded and held out his arms. I smiled and picked him up.
He wrapped his arms around my neck and hid his face in my neck.
"Let's go finish dinner." I said.
Before I started walking, I felt my shirt slightly wet.
I looked at Jesse's shorts and he had wet himself. Great...
"Buddy, what happened?" I asked, changing him.
"I h-had to go but I t-twought (thought) y-you wouldn't w-wet (let) me." He sniffed.
"Don't think that. Just tell me when you have to go, okay?" I asked.
He nodded and I took off his wet clothes. I changed him into a pair of Batman underwear and white basketball shorts.
I carried him back downstairs and he finished his food. I cleaned off all their faces and hands and let them watch Spongebob for a while.
At 6:30, JJ and I were going to attempt to give the boys a bath.
Jesse and Justin went with JJ and James and Johnny went with me.
James had gotten a little used to being in the tub, but it's still a daily challenge. Luckily, once he saw Johnny getting into the tub, he didn't cause any problems getting in the tub. I was able to wash both of their hair and body in 30 minutes. I let them play for a little bit and then dried them off.
I put James in a green onesie and Johnny in a blue onesie and a blue pull-up. I gave them both their pacifiers.
I brushed their teeth and carried them downstairs. Justin and Jesse were already on the couch, Justin in a red onsie and a white pacifer and Jesse in a yellow onesie and a green pacifier. All of them are pacifier kids.
I set Johnny and James down and they watched Frozen. Once it ended, Jc helped me carry them upstairs and JJ made their bottles.
We put them in their cribs and gave them their bottles. They were all asleep in minutes.
I was super tired myself, so I showered and went straight to bed.
