The Monroe Girls

Chapter 9

Emma's P.O.V.

I walk into the house with Eva on hip and her head on my shoulder, sound asleep. I walk into the kitchen to see Luke, Brent, and Claire all sitting in the kitchen drinking orange juice. I walk in quietly and grab one of Eva's sippy cups and tried to open up the lid, although it's very difficult with a child on your hip. Luke must have seen my struggle and grabbed the cup from me and undid the lid, I thanked him and asked him the get the orange juice. He did what he was told and got it, he poured it into the cup and screwed the lid back on.

He grabs it for me and follows me upstairs and into Eva's room, I look around to see that Elena hasn't changed the room a bit since the last time I was here: there's a baby chair in the far corner of the room, there's a sippy hanging on the ceiling with stuff animals and pillows in it, an adorable crib is right next to it, and finally a drawing table with crayons and paper on it.

"Wow."

I heard Luke whisper, I nod and walk over to Eva's crib, I carefully put her down and grab her night-night and covered her up with it, I put her cup by her and turned on the noise making machine and the baby monitor. I turn around with Luke and quietly walk out of the room, we were about to take our way down stairs until I see Claire staring out the window.

"Hey Luke you go ahead and go down stairs, I'll be right back."

I walk over to see what has caught Claire's attention, looking out the window I see Carter and Elena talking, we crack open the window to get in on the conversation.

"Hey, I was wondering if you had any plans for tomorrow?"

"NO! I mean no I don't besides watching Eva, which is kind of an all da-"

Before Elena could finish her sentence I yell, "DON'T WORRY CLAIRE AND I CAN WATCH HER! YOU TWO GO HAVE FUN!"

We notice that they were staring at us, Claire and I look at each other we turn to run away only to have us running into each other. Claire looks at me before laughing and then picking me up and pushes me down the stairs.

"ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT MISSION!!! WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED!"

"Ok, Emma! We got it doesn't mean you have to yell!"

"Sorry I didn't mean too."

I laugh as we go back into the kitchen, "ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT MISSION!!! WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED!"

"Emma! I said stop please!"

I look at her questionably before saying, "That wasn't me." She was about to say something until the boys come running down the hall yelling. They saw us in the kitchen before shutting up, "Can you guys keep it down? The baby is sleeping!"

They both shut up and look at Claire questionable Brent was about to say something until he saw me shaking my head no, he quickly shuts his mouth and headed over to the living room. We all follow him and sit down putting on Beauty and the Beast.

After a while, Carter and Elena come in and sits on another couch with a blanket for Elena, Luke and I lay on the floor while Claire and Brent are laying down on the other couch.

I wake up to the sound of someone sniffling, I jolt up to see Elena holding Eva and rocking her back and forth, " Hey is everything okay?" Elena looks over at me and nods her head, I turn on my phone and is blinded by the brightness of my sun which is also known as my phone. I turn down the brightness and check the time.

Holy conolby! It's 4 I'm the morning, I turn back over and snuggle into my pillows, I tried to grab my blanket but it wasn't there. Turning around I spotted my blanket, which frankly I don't know how I found it because it's just so darn dark!
