*Monday*Day of Camp*

Aalia’s POV

Camp starts today. Mum and Dad are dropping off Hunter and I at school today, since dad leaves for a 2 month tour on Wednesday. I drag my packed suit case out of my room and down the stairs. For a monday morning I am more excited then I will ever be this early in the morning. I head out the front and open the boot of the car and throw in my suitcase. Hunter already has his suitcase in their, he is probably in the kitchen now with mum or making sure he has everything in his carry on bag. That reminds me, i have to go and pack my phone, charger, wallet, earphones and maybe even a book. 

“Morning.” Dad greets as mum places a plate of pancakes in front of me at the table.

“Morning.” I smile back.

“So are you excited for today?” Dad asks.

“Yeah, but I don’t like the fact that Jennah will be an only child for a week.” I never got to be an only child. Not even for a day.

“You’ll get over it.” Dad laughs. Mum disappears to the lounge room, where Jennah was on the floor playing, laying on a play mat, with her teddy bear.

“Say bye.” Mum waves Jennah’s hand as she laughs. “You’ll see them in a week.”

“Aren’t you drooping us off?” Hunter asks.

“No, I’m going to stay home with Jennah. Let you you three have sometime. Remember you won’t see Za- Dad for 2 months.” She was about to call dad by his first name to us. She does that occasionally.

“Alright.” I finish my last pancake and put the plate in the sink. I give a little wave to Jennah and kiss her forehead. I then hug and say ‘I love you.’ Before going to get my back from the bottom of the stair where I left it.

I sling it over my shoulder and i follow dad and Hunter to the car. It is kind of strange not having Carter. He was the mature one, but always in his room.

I open the door and I’m about to jump in when i realise mum didn’t write the note to say i can’t do physical activity. I through my bag on the seat and run back inside. 

“Mum! you forgot the note.” I call as I run back into the kitchen.

“Get me some paper and a pen.” She says. She was in the middle of feeding Jennah so this is awkward.

I run across the hall to the study and pick up a piece of paper and a pen. I take my time getting back, but she is still feeding Jennah. I stand their uncomfortably as she writes with her right hand and holds Jennah with her left.

“Here.” She hands me the note.

“Thank you.” I fold it in half and run back to the car.

“Ready?” Dad asks.

“Yeah, let’s get to school.” I smile. I never thought i would be saying that with so much enthusiasm.

—————————

“Groups 1-5 on bus 1.” A teacher calls. We have 20 groups and each group has 5-6 people. There 5 groups from each class in yr 11. All of my class gets up and we file onto bus 1. Our bags are already loaded on the buses, but we didn’t know which bus we would actually go on, so i think my suitcase is with Chelsea’s on bus 3. Nathan’s is on bus 2 and I’m trying to avoid Taylor, but I can’t do that forever.

“We sitting together?” Nathan asks. As we all file down the narrow aisle of the bus.

“Yeah.” I sit on the window seat about middle of the bus and Nathan sits next to me. Just for my liking Chelsea sits in front with Hunter so we can talk. I feel a tap on my shoulder and see that Taylor is sitting behind me.

“Morning Aalia.” He smiles.

“Morning.” I smile back and turn to Nathan. “I bring lollies.” I pull a bag of starburst sour chews from my bag.

“Oh, great. I love you.” He hugs me awkwardly.

“You better love me.” I point to my stomach.

“I didn’t forget.” He reminds me, he kisses my cheek. The teachers do a head count now that everyone is on the buses. The bus jerks forward. We are in motion, on the way to where ever this camp is. The ride is about 2 hours long, so I pull out my phone and earphones and plug them in. I put one in my left ear, so Nathan grabs the right one and puts it in his ear. I press play and lean my head on his shoulder. 

“This all your fault.” I whisper to him.

“What is?” He asks.

“I’m always tired.” I yawn.

“Hey, blame Dylan. He technically did it not me.” He corrects.

“It’s half you, so…” I just leave it there before anyone around us catches on. Chelsea turns around in her seat to talk to us over the top of her seat.

“Hey.” She smiles.

“Hey.” I yawn again.

“Maybe you should sleep.” She suggests.

“No I’m fine.” I gesture my eyes to my belly, then she picks up. She went through this stage as well, so she understands. Her bump is actually visible though, well if she wears a tight shirt, it’s that same as mine though, just hers is 2 months further along. So she is obviously bigger. My bump is slight, but hers is more prominent.

I don’t think anyone would have guessed that 2 of triplets, that are children of Zayn and Perrie Malik, are having kids.Well Hunter will be like a dad, not a father. Did you know that Father is biological but dad can be either? I didn’t till the other day, when Hunter told me, he would the dad not the father, then I asked whats the difference. Thats went he explained it.

“Go to sleep. I’m fine.” Nathan says, I close my eyes and Chelsea sits back down. I soon find that because I’m pregnant, I can get to sleep better. Who knew? Not me.

A/N

I put a picture of little Jennah on the side. Aalia and Nathan are cuties. Is she doing the right thing by avoiding Taylor?
