(Katy's POV)
It's my last week off and I really want to spend it with family so I'm taking Orlando, Mackenzie, Flynn and myself to Santa Barbra to spend a night with my family there. "Have you got everything?" I pack some underwear and pj's for Flynn while Orlando helps Mackenzie. If we're going to be a family then i don't want this "my kid, your kid" separation. We're in this together, the kids will get use to it. He nods, Good boy! I kiss his forehead and hand him his clothes to pack in his backpack. We head out to the private taxi, I know it's only two hours away from where we live but we have a car in Santa Barbra we want to bring back and we don't want to drive separately on the way home. We board the small private jet and get comfortable. What would normally take 2 hours to drive only takes thirty minutes in the jet. On arrival to Santa Barbra there are cameras everywhere so we pick the kids up and speed walk to the taxi and head to my family home. If you think LA paps are bad, you haven't met SB (Santa Barbra) paps. Just because I grew up and here they think they own me. We get to my parents house and there lots of hugs, kisses and hand shakes. "How are you hunny? Oh I haven't seen you in ages!" My mum pulls me in for a hug. "I'm good and it wasn't that long ago, you were at mine for a BBQ." I smile at her, she's either really forgetful or just misses seeing everyone together. " oh that's right dear! Come in, bring everyone in." We all squeeze through the door and I head up to the guest room and my old room. I put my stuff down in my old room "okay it's girls with girls and boys with boys, so Mackenzie put your stuff down and Flynn and Orlando I'll show you where to put yours." There's no way my mother and father would allow me to sleep in the same room as Orlando in their house haha call it old fashioned. I take Orlando and Flynn to the guest room. After we've settled we come downstairs. My sister Angela, brother David, grandma Ann, mum and dad are all down stairs chatting and preparing dinner. "Mackenzie and Flynn, you's can head outside and play." My parents have heaps of kids toys and a swing set with a trampoline because the church kids come here a lot and my sister Angela's daughter Stella, whose also here uses the toys a lot. Orlando takes the kids outside. "So Katy..." My mum looks me up and down with a stern look. Usually indicating a serious topic. "If you didn't technically... You know.. Have Mackenzie or Flynn, then what do we call them?" Huh? " what do you mean? Just call them by their names or shorten them if you feel like it?" "No not like that. I mean when someone at church asks me if I have grandkids what am I suppose to say?" "You say yes, Mackenzie and Flynn are your grandkids." "Yes, but Katy be serious please. What if the relationship doesn't work out and I've already said yes then I get asked how they are? 'Oh yes well now I only have one grandkid' you see my problem?" "Look me and Orlando aren't going to break up. If you're uncomfortable with it then just say no you don't have grandkids. Please don't say only Mackenzie is your grandkid because I don't need that against Flynn and Orlando." I can't believe she just asked that, I can see where she's coming from but there's more important issues then what to call them. "I didn't mean to upset you I just don't want the press to get involved if someone over hears or says something and then for you to get angry at me." "It's fine, call them whatever you want. So Angela how's Stella?" I change subjects, right now is not the time for a family argument. "She's great, I can't believe she's already 5 this year though. we're looking in schools at the moment. She's more then likely going to our old school though. What about Mackenzie and Flynn? Do they go to school?" "Flynn goes to school, it's a private school for celebrities kids. I'm thinking about sending Mackenzie there, it looks like fun and a place she'd enjoy but I want her to be ready to go there." "How old is she? She'd only be a few years ahead of Flynn right?" "Actually she's 13, haha maybe I can play her off as 8." " really?! She only looks about 7-8, she's so small have you had her checked out?" "Yeah she's been checked, not tested but checked. The doctor said its just a form of dwarfism, she doesn't look like a dwarf but she is. I don't think it's too serious though, she's just short." "Wow, that's crazy. She looks completely normal which I guess is a good thing less things for kids to pick at. I'm terrified of Stella being bullied." "Let me know and I'll come give those kids the beat down haha." Angela laughs and picks up the plate to take out to the table. After dinner me and Orlando get the kids settled in bed. By the time I go to bed Mackenzie's fast asleep. I guess the trampoline wore her out.
