Survival

"Let's stop here." Jadelyn's order came through the radio on the other 2 trucks, parking the trucks in a defensive position in front of a house, "So what's the status?" Jadelyn asks as she, Andrew and Jameson get out of their respective trucks, "The boys are asleep, I'll carry them inside." Andrew said, "Amanda is too along with Lillian, I'll carry them inside." Jameson said after his twin. "I'll help Andrew with the boys." Jadelyn shrugged with a small smile and walked to the biggest truck.

"Thank you." Andrew told her as she picked up Louis placing him on her hip, balancing him, "Welcome, he's a nice kid." Jadelyn smiled, Andrew smiled back and grabbed a blanket and covered his youngest brother.  

Walking inside they saw mattresses on the floor, a sleeping Lillian on a sleeping Amanda's chest and she cuddling into Jameson's chest, laying the kids down in other mattresses and Jadelyn says "You can go sleep I'll take the first shift." "No you go sleep, 'll take the first shift." Andrew said making Jadelyn nod slowly and lay down, Andrew covers everyone and walks to the the roof, "You like him..." Amanda's voice was heard in the light snore filled room, "Bog off you like Jameson." Jadelyn said a smirk on her lips, "You're right maybe I do but I just met him, I need t get to know him better." Amanda said.

"Over my dead body, he could hurt you and I ain't having it Amanda." Jadelyn snapped using her best friend's full name, getting silence in response Jadelyn closed her eyes, meanwhile Amanda had taken Lillian off her chest and placed her on Jameson's chest, who instantly hold her closely, got up quietly and tip toed to her friend, smirking as she jumped and tackled her.

Jadelyn groaned and pushed her sister away, "Go away." she groaned "No! Love me!" Amanda whined playfully, smiling Jadelyn started tickling Amanda who went into hysterics and started squealing and giggling lowly. Soon Lillian's cries started and Amanda instantly got up and picked her up and held her close, "Bottle?" Jadelyn asked, Amanda nods and hushes the young girl whispering lowly and singing,

Jadelyn goes make a bottle of formula mil and rushes back to give it to the hungry baby, Lillian latches onto the bottle and drinks the well done formula quickly, her eyelids falling slowly. "She's so precious...." Jadelyn whispers, "I'm going to keep her." Amanda whispers back, shaking her head Jadelyn nudges Amanda and points to where Jameson was sleeping and reaching out for her, "I'm going to raise her as if she were my biological daughter." Amanda whispered as Lillian finished the bottle, setting it aside she kissed Jadelyn's forehead and walked back to Jameson laying down next to her and falling asleep instantly.
