Thorns of Life

Chapter Three

I got up early this morning and scrambled some eggs for the kids. They instantly came when they smelt food, Jeff is already out seeding, I smiled. I placed the dishes in the dish washer as the kids finished eating, Lily jumped out of her seat and took off.

"Lillian! What are you doing?" I asked a little confused.

"I have to pick out the perfect outfit for today! Rikki is coming!" She beamed, I smirked.

"Oh, auntie Nick is coming as well, and auntie Katy." I told her, she gasped and dashed up the stairs.

"Mommy, does that mean Savanna will be here?" Ginny asked me, I nodded. She squealed and ran up the stairs after her sister. I heard the phone ring so I ran over to answer it.

"Hello." I sang into the phone knowing it was either my sister, her daughter, her son or husband.

"Hey, around three you want me to take your three oldest to the park?" She asked, I laughed.

"It might be more then just thought three, Nick, Jasmine and Katy are coming over with their kids!" I laughed.

"Should I call the police ahead of time..." Hazel said sarcastically, I laughed.

"No, no that's fine. I'll be in town in half an hour, we only had eggs in the fridge!" I laughed.

"Goodness Maria." Hazel laughed, "I'll see you when you come in I trust?" She asked, I smiled.

"Yes Hazel, and I trust? You make us sound older then we are!" I laughed.

"I'm two years younger then you..." She laughed. "Bye." She told me.

"Bye." I hung up the phone and quick got dressed. "Kids get in the van we're going into town for groceries." I yelled up the stair as I put a bonnet on Hermione. Lily came down in a yellow sun dress and Ginny in a pair of shorts and a tank top. James was wearing a pair of sweats and a tank top to, I sighed and gathered them all into the van. As we pulled into town I mentally laughed at the famous people sign. When we got to big way I saw a boy that was in my grade from school, Alec. He was at a register. I waved politely. I noticed I only had Hermione left, the kids had gone to the playroom.

I got more eggs, flour, and much more through the store and went to Alec's register.

"Hello." I told him politely. He nodded, "How are things now a days?" I asked politely.

"Good, I'm pretty sure my son is your oldest daughters age." He told me, I nodded.

"Most likely, she's seven." I told him.

"How long you visiting?" He asked.

"I live here now, my husband got that house fifteen minutes out of town built for us. No groceries in it, only eggs. Lily barely like eggs, so I had a problem this morning."

Alec laughed, "That explains all stuff you bought."

"I'm not going through another tantrum of 2030." I said, he laughed.

I had to drag my kids out of the playroom before I drove back home, I quickly threw some cookies and banana muffins in the oven, as it was eleven and tidied the kitchen up for when the girls got here.

The house seemed quite, back home before we left we had a small dog, it passed away this spring. It still saddened the kids a lot, but she was twelve years old. That's 84 in dog years. But I know that Sadie lived a happy life, her tail never stopped moving.

I was shaken out of my trance when I heard the doorbell. I ran to get it and saw Jasmine, I threw my arms around her then Rikki and Ross gave me hugs as well.
