Chapter 48

I watch her she slaved over the hot stove refusing any help at all. She only wants to get it finished herself. She doesn't talk much anymore, she just reads. She talks when it's necessary and that's all. She's very quiet regardless. "Morning baby girl," I smile at her laying my head against her shoulder. It's an hour earlier than when I usually get up but she didn't sleep well last night. "How are you feeling?" I kiss her neck softly, she gives me a shrug pushing my head off of her shoulder. She's such a child at heart it's super cute and she's my favourite little thing. She has a stool for when she's cooking because she's so little she uses the stool so that she can reach everything.

"I'm really tired." She hums softly continuing to cook. The kids are all still asleep but she'll be off to wake them up as soon as their food is done. The babies have started just waking up and sending a new one down each morning. The others stay in their room waiting for the one that's still asleep. It's been Aoife three times but Davi and Alessandro we're both asleep at one point. "Morning Drew." She yawns at the boy who waddles down hugging her leg. She lifts him up and watches the food on the stove she then turns off setting each pan in the sink. "Should we go get the others?" She gasps at him suddenly all full of life. She just doesn't wanna look tired with our kids around. They don't like it when she's like that because she looks sad, and they hate it when anyone's sad.

"Come here," I hold my hands out for Drew who falls into my arms. "Lets let mama get them and you and me can wait for them." I kiss his cheek, and hold him on my hip while she runs up the stairs to wake the kids up. I bite a piece of bacon that lay on a plate for the kids' breakfast. "Want some?" I sit myself on one of our barstools.

"Sure," he smiles trying to bite it with his little teeth that are only just growing in. He's unable though so I brake him off a little piece and give it to him. "Thanks Daddy," he smiles chewing the bacon.

"You're very welcome baby," I smile kissing his head. He's just a cuddle bug and all he wants to do is be held and hugged. Braxton and Jamie are the same way. You can't put them down because they get nervous. "Look, mamas back," I smile while she comes back down with Braxton in her arms. He smiles and giggles but she keeps her expression blank and serves the rest of the food. She hasn't been in a very cheerful mood for a few days now and it's a little upsetting. She's always been my happy baby girl and now she's not, not even Skylar can make her smile.

She lays her head on my chest. We have a lot of cars and a recent investment was a truck for when the older kids want to go out, but tonight it's ours and the truck isn't looking so useless any more. We lay in the trunk our legs covered by a blanket, she points out constellations that I know she's always found really cool. "You feeling like giving me a smile now?" I look down at her wide grin. I brush my finger against her forehead pushing her hair out of her face. "Why weren't you smiling before?"

"I think a lot, plus there's a lot of major things coming up in my career, you know that." She teases talking about the song she's recorded. They aren't going to tell anyone and then the day before I'm going to tweet about it and we'll have a mini argument before she drops the song. And then she'll do a livestream. It's really all about my cancer and living so long away from me and stuff but I've never heard it. She only let me read the words of the song that I already have memorized. They kind of want to pull her away from the nude modelling stuff because of her new body which she understands considering she isn't comfortable with showing it off. So she's excited for this new chapter in her career.

"I do know all about it." She's also writing a book about life with fifteen kids at age thirty, it's also about her life's struggles and god knows she's had many of those. She's always in her office just typing and I've read most of it and I think it's beautiful, it perfectly describes our whole lives and the struggle we face as a couple but also as young parents. We have fifteen kids and still it's just so complicated that we worry we're going to do something wrong. But she's amazing, and she's raising them very well.

"Yeah so shut up," she rolls her eyes her tiny hand trails down my stomach and I smile at what she's trying to do. She obviously doesn't wanna talk about this stuff so she's going to try and make me forget. Although right now, it doesn't sound so bad. Her hand slips under my jeans and into my boxers, and she softly grabs it. I prepare to let her take over but her phone rings and she checks who it is wanting to ignore but it's an emergency number that she can't. "Hello?" She bites her thumb as a nervous habit while we both get into the car forgetting all about the fun we were once having. "Yes?" She nods slowly on the verge of chewing her whole thumb off. I drive away while tears fall from her eyes and she nods even though whoever's on the other end can't hear her. "Thank you," she nods slowly before ending the call. She can't even tell me what's wrong she cries so much. "To the hospital," she nods her voice shaky and her tears not stopping.

"What happened babe?" I brush my thumb against her thigh. She cries a little harder.

"Our girls," she mumbles I don't know what to say or do. I just wanna hold them all and know that everyone is safe and healthy. "Mercy, Angelina and Skylar." She looks down. "They got into a car accident." My face goes pale and the grip I have on the steering wheel softens. I turn into the children's hospital parking and her and I both rush in. We're both in a panic our poor little girls they're all just babies to us and anything happening to them is just horrifying. I'm supposed to keep them safe and I didn't do now they're here. It's my fault.
