My fingers hovered above the keyboard, not knowing what to type. I'm writing a message to the dance studio I grew up at, and it needs to be perfect. Darcie now goes to this dance studio, and Jamie ( yep, Jamie still works there ) asked her for me to write something for her. It's apparently going to be framed and put on the wall, as a ' note from a famous person who danced here '
I still don't think I'm famous, and I never will.
I was interrupted by the faint knocks coming from my office door, and I shouted for them to come in clearly.
" Mom, I need help packing " Darcie said, looking at me with wide eyes and a smile.
" can't you get Alex to do it, you're 15 " I laughed, and she sighed.
" fine " she mumbled, closing the door and calling Alex's name.
A few seconds later, the door burst open again, hitting off the wall loudly.
" okay, why do I have to hep Darcie? " Alex shouted, raising a brow in annoyance.
That's my two children for you. One who knocks on the door, and the other who barges straight in.
" because your her brother " I laughed, finding it rather amusing.
" and your her mother, so why don't you? " He said, and I knew he wasn't being serious.
It was silent, before I shut my laptop and stood up. I placed my hand on his shoulder comfortingly, trying not to laugh at how dramatic he was being.
" Okay I'll go help her, you can go and return to crushing over Lola in your bedroom " I joked, and he groaned angrily.
" I don't have a freaking crush on Lola! " He said angrily, and my sides began to hurt from laughing.
" sure... but go pack, we're leaving tomorrow " I smiled, and he nodded before leaving upstairs to his room.
I love teasing my kids, it's really entertaining.
I made my way to Darcie's room, looking at the photos on the way up like I usually do. There was one of Grayson, Darcie, Alex and I at Christmas, and we were standing by the Christmas tree in our festive pyjamas.
" Darcie? " I called, opening the door to her room.
She was sat on her bed, watching a YouTube video which I slightly recognised the sound of.
" what're you laughing at? " I smirked, as she turned her phone around for me to see.
I cringed as she watched one of Grayson and I's old videos, the one where we announced our engagement. We still do YouTube, we're both 36. Thinking about it now, we're actually getting old.
She was now watching the part where we mentioned baby names, and I smiled while waiting for it.
* flashback *
" Paige Dean says, What would you call your future children? We all want some Granna kids!! " Grayson said, laughing at the final sentence.
I thought about it, and the room fell silent for a second. I'm guessing Grayson was thinking too, so I looked at him and chuckled.
" I like the name Alex " I said, and he nodded.
" yeah, Alex for a boy... " He began, going silent again while he thought.
" Take your time! " I said sarcastically, and he rolled his eyes playfully.
" Darcie for a girl, or Daisy " He pointed his finger to the camera, nodding his head.
* end of flashback *
" I think that's the only thing dad has stuck too, other than YouTube " Darcie joked, making me giggle.
" true, but get packing... camping is tomorrow and you don't want to leave it to the last minute again " I laughed, and she nodded.
A few seconds later we heard Grayson barge through the door, running into Darcie's room and jumping on the bed.
" dad I just made my bed!! " Darcie complained, hitting him across the face with a pillow.
He laughed, re adjusting his hair which still looked as perfect and soft as it used too.
I sat next to him, placing a quick kiss on his cheek as he smiled widely.
" was this like a family meeting that I wasn't invited too? " Alex asked, joining us in the room.
" who the fuck has family meetings? " I laughed hysterically.
We began cracking up, helping Darcie pack her stuff while Alex and Grayson messed on in the background.
I do love my family, and I always will. My kids can be annoying, and so can my husband, but they're amazing.
