Months Later

Sammy - 6

Lyric - 6 Months

Callie's POV

"Sammy seriously hurry up we're going to be late dropping you off at school buddy!!" I yell up the stairs while balancing Lyric on my left hip and Sammy's bag on my right shoulder.

"Yeah and whats wrong with being late. Its not fun anyways" Sammy grumpily announces while slowly slumping down the stairs with a less than impressed look on his face. I can't help but laugh at his attitude this morning.

"Buddy its good for you. Trust me" I assure him handing him his bag which he accepts before walking past me and out the front door to the car. I let out a sigh making Lyric giggle on my side which makes me break out a smile. "And you my gorgeous girl will have to learn to love school when your his age as well" I say and she just gives me a puzzled look which I chuckle at and leave out the front myself. I buckle Lyric into her seat and then double check Sammy's belt before hopping in my own seat and heading off to the school.

"So like...how necessary is it I go to school?" Sammy asks curiously as we're half way to the school.

I chuckle shaking my head before replying "Very buddy. If you don't go to school you won't have very many skills and won't be able to get into big school with all your friends" I explain in the most positive way possible. He just nods in response and continues looking out the window looking like he's thinking way too much about this school situation. Surely he isn't hating school that much...I mean he's never come home upset or complaining that he never wants to go again. Im sure if he was ever really too upset he would tell us so I shouldn't be completely worried right now.

We pull up at the school and Sammy jumps out somewhat happier then he was before. I guess I should be concerned. "Alright baby girl you ready for the day?" I ask in a cheery voice turning around to see a smiling Lyric in he seat. I can't believe how big she is now. Its just going so fast I forgot how big they get in such little time.

When we get back home I get Lyric out and we go out the back to the little sandpit we have and I give her some toys letting her entertain herself for a bit while I quickly go make a snack for her. I start cutting up some strawberries, banana, orange and blueberries on a plate and go back out to see Lyric have a large amount of the sand on the outside of the sandpit and in her hat that she took off her head. "Oh well look at the mess we have made here" I say putting her plate on the table and lifting her out of the pit. I put her in her high chair and wipe off her hands and mouth before placing her plate in front of her making her eyes light up. She must have been hungry since she grabs straight for the fruit and shoves it in her mouth like a starving african child making me giggle and take a picture sending it to Brandon.

To Brandon:

Look at our messy little monkey. You can tell she has your genes

From Brandon:

Hahahaha her cuteness is absolutely overwhelming. We make extremely cute children.

To Brandon:

Alright buddy don't be getting any ideas

From Brandon:

Im under control don't worry babe haha I'll talk later gotta get back to work. I love you, give my little monkey a kiss for me

To Brandon:

I will. Love you too

After I put my phone away Lyric starts being noisy making sounds just to get my attention. "Yes I see you little princess. Are you gonna finish eating?" I ask pushing her fruit closer which only has strawberries left. She shakes her head and pushes it back towards me so I nod taking it away from her before she gets frustrated and throws it completely at me. I wipe off her face and lift her out of the chair taking her back inside to the play room.

"What are we gonna do monkey? Sammy is at school and daddy is at work...who we gonna play with?" I ask and she just stares at me like I'm crazy. I laugh and lean over to tickle her making her fall back erupting with laughter. I lift her up into the air above me where her laughter happens again. God I could just live off that sound, it is the most amazing sound.

We spend the rest of the day just lounging around, napping and playing. Until Brandon and Sammy come home.

"Where are my girls?" I hear Brandon call out as him and Sammy enter the front door.

I chuckle picking up Lyric from her play mat "We're in the lounge" I reply walking to the doorway where Brandon lights up taking Lyric into his arms and I give Sammy a cuddle.

"Theres my baby girl" He says kissing all over her face. I smile at the site and give Sammy a kiss on his head before fixing his hair thats all messed up from his hat.

"How was school?" I ask rubbing his cheek.

"Ummm as good as school gets" He answers still not sounding completely satisfied with the topic of school but I let it go knowing he's probably had a big day.

I get Sammy and Lyric settled in the lounge watching a tv show while I go into the kitchen to start dinner with Brandon sitting on the bench beside me.

"So how was your day beautiful?" He asks putting his hand on my lower back comfortingly.

I smile gently at him being so caring "It was good. Just relaxed and played around the house all day with monkey. How was work?"

"Eh would have gathered spending the day with you two but hey its a good second" He tells me leaning forward to give me a peck. I smile when he pulls away just so thankful about how my life has turned out.
