Austin's POV

It was five at night when Alan's phone blared loudly while we were at the dinner table. I looked over at him pleading for him not to answer the phone but he got up and did anyway.

I groaned but stayed with the kids waiting for him to come back.

"Mom." Finn said before throwing a piece of corn at my head.

"Finn! Don't throw your food." I said picking the corn off the table and putting it on a napkin.

Finn just giggled and flicked a piece at his sister who ended up giggling at well.

"Finn eat your food or go to bed."

"I don't wanna go to bed." He whined.

"Then eat."

He groaned and picked at his food.

"Josh eat 'em up."

"I don't feel good mom." Josh mumbled before jumping up from the table and running off.

"I got it!" Alan shouted and I heard him run after Josh.

I sat with Charlie and Finn and continued eating until we all finished. I let the two rascals loose before heading off towards the sounds of throwing up.

"Is he alright?" I asked walking into the bathroom. Alan was holding back Josh's hair as he threw his guts up.

"I think he has the flu, he's running a fever." Alan said helping Josh when he sat back. "I'm gonna go bring him up to bed."

"Okay, I'll be up in a minute or two."

He just nodded and took Josh up to his room. I sighed and headed on downstairs where the kids were.

"Mom!" Finn shouted.

"What!" I yelled back.

"Will you play trucks with me and Charlie!?"

"Of course! As long as I get to use my favorite truck!"

"Deal!"

I headed to the living room and got down on the floor with the two and played trucks with them.

"Give me that one," Charlie whined, trying to take a truck from her brother.

"No, it's mine." Finn said keeping the truck away from her.

"Sharing is caring Finn." I said to him.

"It's mine though! Mama got it for me!"

"That doesn't mean you can't share it with your sister."

"Yes it does," he said, hugging the truck to his chest.

"Finn..."

"Mom!"

"Finnegan!"

"But I'm playing with it! There's other trucks."

I sighed, "Charlie baby, how about you play with this one." I said handing her the one I had.

"I don't want that one!"

"Come on, it's fine. Take this one."

Charlie pouted and snatched it out of my hand.

"Don't be pouty."

She didn't say anything as she scowled at the truck before throwing it at Finn.

"That's it, time for bed." I said picking her from the floor.

"No!"

"Yes missy."
