Dream Big (Sequel to Dreamer)

Prologue

Tia's POV

I yell for my three children to come downstairs for breakfast. My husband was helping me out by fixing their lunches. Today was the first day of school, and I was on the verge of a breakdown. Violet was seven, going into the second grade. Chandler and I both cried on her first day of kindergarten, but it wasn't as bad because we had Desiree and Jackson to keep us busy. Now all three of our little babies were in school. I place Desiree's plate in her usual spot, then yell for my babies one more time. I was serving them blue berry pancakes, scrambled eggs, and toast. They each had a different spread on their toast. Violet's has strawberry jelly, Jackson's has peanut butter, and Desiree's has Nutella. Finally, my little ones come running down the stairs. Violet was in her sea foam colored dress with her black belt and white collar. She had on black ballet flats, and she had her hair in two braids. Desiree had on a pink and white striped shirt, white skinny jeans, and pink converse. Her hair was just brushed out and parted to one side. Jackson had on a yellow and green flannel with dark jeans and black converse. They each took a seat, starting on their breakfast. Chandler and I agreed we should drive them to and from school today, but starting tomorrow they would ride the bus. We would receive their bus number today. I place Chandler's plate beside Jackson's, and I placed mine next to Chandler's. Chandler zipped up the last lunchbox, sliding it into Violet's backpack. He then put it by the door, and came to eat breakfast. I wasn't eating any toast. I wasn't too hungry, so I only had one pancake and a small amount of scrambled eggs. We all quickly ate our food. Three little ones grabbed their backpacks, and we all headed for the car. Violet had a sea foam green backpack with a white unicorn that had a silver horn and a rainbow mane. Jackson had a blue backpack that was covered in dump trucks, cranes, and bulldozers. Desiree had a pink backpack with purple, blue, and white sparkles all over it. On our way out the door Chandler gently grabs my elbow, stopping me. I look at him, confused. "Tia... I-I... I want another baby..." he admits, and I look at him in shock.
