"Hunter, you walk like big foot. Shut up." Rose whispered as they walked into my room.

I know exactly what they were trying to do so I pretended to be sleep. My bed shifted down from their weight and they began jumping.

"Happy mother's day!" They shouted.

I opened my eyes, pretending to be surprised.

"We made breakfast." Rose said.

Of course I didn't want to be ungrateful, but every year they make me breakfast and every year the kitchen is a complete mess. I'm the one stuck helping them cleaning it.

"By 'we' she means me. I made everything." Hunter mushed her head.

She retaliated by hitting him in the stomach, "Don't touch me you green eyed toad."

"At least I don't look like a troll." He retorted.

I walked out of the room without them noticing as they continued to go back and forth. Preparing myself for the worst, I walked around the corner to my kitchen. Just as I expected, pots and pans were piled in the sink. The counters were dirty, along with the floors.

"Open the door, it's hot as hell." Demitri banged on the door.

I rolled my eyes and opened the door, "You didn't have to bang on my door."

"Shut up, happy mother's day." He smiled innocently, handing me a bouquet of red roses.

"You shouldn't have-"

Wait, wait. Close your eyes." He said excitedly like a little kid in a candy store.

"Alright." I closed my eyes, feeling his hand touch mines.

He guided me to what he wanted me to see. The smile on my face was huge because I know Demitri did something over the top.

"Okay, open."

I opened my eyes to see a brand new Range Rover in my driveway, all white.

"Demitri-"

"Sh." He opened the driver's door, showing that the car was full of presents. Clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewelry.

"Dammn look at this car." Hunter came out the house with Rose.

"Watch your mouth." I hit him in his head. "Thank you, Demitri, but I can't accept all of this."

"Why not?" He crossed his arms.

"Because you don't have to waste your money on me-"

"I'm not wasting anything. I'm just showing my appreciation for you giving me three children. And maybe two more." He slyly smirked, pulling me closer to him by my waist.

I couldn't help but blush, "In your dreams."

"Ma, can I drive?" Hunter asked.

"No."

He sucked his teeth, "Man I can't never do nothing."

"How the hell the grocery store run out of strawberry ice cream." I mumbled to myself, walking around without paying attention to my surroundings.

Hunter and Rose left me to go over Demitri's house for the night. I figured I would get me something sweet just this one time.
