I woke up the next morning still cuddled up next to Rob. One of his arms was under my head and the other was protectively around my waist and stomach. Not to mention that our legs and feet were also tangled together. I wasn't quite ready to leave this position yet, so I just laid in my bed and played on my phone. About 10 minutes later I heard Jackson start to cry from his room. I didn't worry about it because it was my moms turn to get him. After about a minute of him still crying I started to get worried.

I got out of bed (after struggling to loosen Rob's grip) and into Jack's room where we was wailing. I picked him up and began walking around the room and rocking him in my arms. Once I got him to calm down and stop crying I began to walk towards my mothers room. I gently pushed open the door and peeked my head inside.

My mom wasn't in bed.

I instantly began very confused. Where would my mom have gone without telling me? She was a grown woman and didn't really to tell me where she was going...Although it would have been nice to know...

Maybe she just went to the store or something? Yeah. She probably just had to pick up some things now that we have a bunch of guest.

So I took Jack downstairs and took one of my moms pre made bottles of breast milk out of the fridge, warmed it up, and fed him. As I was feeding Jack, the boys came down one by one. Once Jack had finished his bottle, all the boys were downstairs. And they were hungry. So I put Jack in his chair swing and began to make the boys pancakes, bacon, and eggs. It only took me about 30 minutes to make because all the boys helped out. But it took them about 5 minutes to scarf it all down.

Once they were all satisfied with their meals, they all went into the living room and sat on the couch while I was cleaning up.

Jackson began to cry while I was cleaning the dishes.

"Adam! Can you get him?" I asked. "Try to rock him back to sleep."

I looked at Adam and he gave me a death glare and groaned. Then he finally got up and rocked the child. I just don't see why Adam doesn't like Jack?

After about 1 minute of rocking Jack, Adam put him back into the chair swing and stomped up to his room. All the boys gave me the "what was that about?" look. So I made my way upstairs and to his room to try and talk to him.

I knocked on Adam's door.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"It's me. Can I come in?"

"...I guess..." He said unsure of it.

I walked over to where he was sitting on his bed and sat next to him. We sat there in silence for a minute or two before I said anything.

"What was all that about Adam? Do you have a problem with Jack or something?" I asked curiously.

"I don't like him. He takes all of the attention. Mom barely does anything with me. She is too focused on Jack." Adam said.

"I see. So you feel like the forgotten child."

He only nodded his head.

"Well. I know mom isn't home to talk about this, but do you want to go do something. Something that YOU want to do? I can get someone to watch Jack."

Hearing that he perked up a bit.

"Like what?" He asked.

"Anything you want." I said.

He thought about it for a little while before giving me an answer.

"Six Flags Great America." He said.

"You want go to six flags?" I laughed.

"Yeah! I want the guys to come. Except for Jack." He said.

"Okay. Just let me go talk to the guys. You get ready." I said while playfully shoving him back onto his bed.

I walked down the stairs and to the boys who were all playing with Jack in the living room.

"Do y'all want to go to Six Flags with Adam and I?" I asked.

"Yeah!"

"Yup."

"I'm in!"

"Let's go!"

Were all the answers I heard coming from the boys who went upstairs to get ready.

"Gordy, do you want to come too?" I asked the man who was sitting on the couch playing with Jack who was in his swing.

"Well, who are you gonna get to watch this little guy?"

"I was just gonna call a friend..." I said.

"Don't bother. I think I'll just stay here and have a lazy day with him." He said leaning back on the couch.

"Are you sure? I don't want to leave you by yourself..." I said feeling bad.

"Yes I'm sure! You guys go have fun! And I won't be alone. I've got this little guy to keep me company!" He said picking up Jack from the swing and holding him in his arms.

"You're the best Gordy!" I said while walking over and giving him a little side squeeze before heading upstairs to get ready for our adventures at Six Flags Great America!
