Seventeen - Chapter 93

<<<<<<<<<<<<< 5 months later>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Melody's POV

"Wake up mum." I heard a little voice say. 

"Mum." The next one called. The third one started to cry.

"OKAY, I'm up!" I called. Jayden, Poppy, Ollie, Noah and Logan came bursting into my room.

"Happy birthday!" They all called.

"Thanks guys but who's getting Alfie?"

"I'M ON IT!" I heard Kian yell from the other room.

Maspar came strolling in. "Seventeen today Mel, get up!"

"I am Maspar!" I laughed. "Happy birthday to you too." 

I went upstairs and found Kian sitting on the floor with Alfie. I went over and sat beside Kian.

"Alfie!" I called. Alfie jumped with the sound and toppled backwards. "Oh Alfie, it's only me." I picked him up and sat him on my knee while I let my brothers come upstairs. 

"This is my present." Kian told me, passing me a massive thin package. I opened it up.

"Kian, this is amazing!" It was a big frame with different size slots for different pictures. There was a picture from when me and Kian met and he came for tea. When Jayden and Poppy were born and we stood holding one each outside of the house. Kian dancing at the wedding party with Jayden and Pops. A proper wedding picture. The day Alfie was born. And a picture of me and him holding Alfie with Jayden on Kian's shoulders and Poppy on mine. "I love it." I smiled, leaning over and kissing him.

"This is mine and Poppy's." Jayden announced. He brought out two really good drawings of supposedly all four of us and one of the five of us.

"I love it guys!" I pulled them into a hug. Before i could open my mouth "Maspar and Macarius have their presents."

I glared over at my brother. He raised his hands. "Sorry, you slept in!"

He brought over my present next. "Ps, I love your present." He whispered. He gave me a photo album. I opened it and there was a picture of us with our mum, the day we were born. The a picture of three year olds with dad and Joe. Ten year olds with Gemma. Twelve year olds with Jacob. Fourteen year olds holding the other triplets. Fourteen year old Maspar and Macarius holding the twins. Me and Kian holding the twins. Me, Kian, the twins (aged 1 1/2), dad, Gemma, Macarius, Maspar, Jacob and the triplets (3) took the begining of last year. Me, Macarius and Maspar as dalmations on holiday and a big family photo took the day Alfie was born.

"Thanks Maspar." I grinned.

"And me!" Macarius laughed. I smiled and hugged Macarius.

We went through gift giving and then I walked into the other room with Alfie and for some reason, Jacob.

"Ready to be five Jake?" I asked. He looked up and shook his head. "Why?"

"I have to go to school." He whispered. I laughed.

"That's fine. Try not going to school and try finding a job after." He shrugged. "I'm sending Poppy and Jayden to nursery in the primary school too so you might see them."

Maspar's POV

I looked over at Kian, he was playing with the twins. "Kian, can I talk to you?" I called. 

We stood in my bedroom. Kian looked at me. "So what is it Masp?"

"You better take care of my sister." I grinned. 

"Where you going?" Kian looked worried.

"Nowhere. But we won't all live together forever." He looked at me and I nodded.

"Well at this rate, you'll be here forever!" I walked over and punched him in the arm.
