"I say we make the living room this blue color and then we'll make the rest white except for the kitchen, it should be gray. We can't change the color of the bathtubs though..." Gen says as we walk down the paint sample aisle. Cal, Mikey, Luke and I just nod our heads and let her do her thing.

We already sold our old houses. Genna and I died laughing when we found out some frat boys were buying them. We have all of our furniture in the house but its all in the center of the room its going to go in because we have to paint.

"Syd! Gen!" I hear the guys yell from a few aisles away. Genna and I run to their voices.

Cal, Michael and Luke were gathered around a 'do it yourself' slide that attatches to railings.

"This. Is. Amazing." I say, scanning over the huge box sitting on the shelf. A slide.

"We could put it in the corner and we could slide down it into the living room!" Michael cheers. "Can we get it?"

"Get it!" I laugh. Gen sets the paint and we set the slide on the counter. The cashier gave us a funny look as Luke, Cal, Mikey and I practically jumped up and down as he scanned the slide.

"This white carpet isn't going to last long..." I say as I drop a little bit more teal paint on it. "We really should have covered it with a tarp or something..."

"I told you!"

"Nononono!" Michael yells, running down the stairs. Hope chases after him with a paint brush that's covered in white paint.

"Let me contour your face!" she giggles. "Its your skin tone!"

"Hey thats mean!"

"I sowy." Hope says in a baby voice. She pouts her lip and looks at Mikey. He walks over to her and leans in for a kiss. She raises her paint brush and swipes it under his cheeks.

"Hope!" he laughs. He steals her paintbrush and leaves white streaks on her cheekbones as well.

"Now we match!" he cheers.

Hope is thirteen weeks now. She's still not showing at all which is really making her anxious.

"You guys are ridiculous!" Ashton laughs from the catwalk above us.

"Are you almost done with that room?"

"We've been at it for two hours. We have two and a half walls done Gen." Ashley laughs.

"I call this room!" Candice yells from a room she was currently coloring in with Dylan. We didn't want them to be in the paint fumes for to long.

"That's our room babe." Cal shouts, his words echoing off of the tiles and tall ceilings.

There is one room that is in the very corner of the house. It has a huge walk in closet, a bathroom with a jacuzzi sized bathtub and tiled shower. The room itself has a wall of windows, giving it a sunshiney feel.

"Um... no. That's me and Ashton's room." Ashley yells.

"No it's mine!" Hope fires back.

"What about me?" Michael whines.

"Oh yeah, and Mikey too."

"It's definatley Luke and I's."

"Maybe I should get it." Alex says, finally looking up from her phone.

"Nope." we all say at the same time. She pouts her lip and bats her eyelashes at us.

"That only works on Michael." I laugh. She looks over at Michael but his eyes are already shielded with his fingers.
