All We Need is Love

Chapter 16

Ariana's p.o.v.

I wake up to a crying baby again. I look at my phone to see what time it is, 5:30 am. I decide to just get up because I'll be up again in another hour to feed the twins. I unplug my phone and walk out of the room going into Wilder's room. She's sitting up in her bed and stops crying when she sees me walk into the room. I turn off her projector and open up the blinds so there isn't too much light but just enough to where I can see. I take her out of the crib and take her to the changing table where there is a new outfit laying on top that I had put there last night so I could have it ready. I get a diaper out of the drawer and take off her old clothes and diaper. I put on her diaper then put on the short sleeved onesie and a pair of pants. I throw the diaper in her diaper genie and her clothes in the dirty laundry basket and walk out of the room. I head downstairs and into the kitchen, putting her in her high chair and put a bib on her. She starts hitting the tray of it as I open up the fridge and get out some fruit and get her puffs from the cabinet. I cut the strawberries, blueberries, and watermelon up for her and put them in a bowl, I don't know why I bother with the bowl though she will just dump it all out and throw the bowl on the floor. I give her the bowl then pour some puffs on the tray. She doesn't waste any time digging into her food, just throwing everything in all at once. I grab some breast milk out of the fridge and pour it into a bottle and warm it up. I set it on the tray and she immediately grabs for it.

Ariana- well aren't we grabby this morning

I walk over to the counter and sit on the stool unlocking my phone. There is a lot of text messages congratulating us on having the twins. I open up Instagram and post a picture of the twins' hands from when we were in the hospital. I don't want to share pictures of their faces just yet so I thought that picture will do. I hear someone coming down the stairs and a few moments later Ricky's mom enters the kitchen.

Sylvia- why are you up so early?

I point to Wilder and she walks over to her and kisses the top of her head.

Sylvia- did you get any sleep at all last night?

Ariana- maybe about 3 hours in total. If it wasn't the twins waking up, it was her. She wasn't woken up at night since she was 8 months old but last night she decided to do it every time I started to fall asleep

Sylvia- maybe it's because she knows there's something different and it's not just her getting the attention

Ariana- yeah maybe. I'll have to have a schedule put in place so she know she'll still be getting attention. Maybe I could read her a book when I put her to bed

Sylvia- yeah that's a good idea

Ariana- so while we're down here alone I thought maybe I could talk to you about something.

Sylvia- sure

Ariana- I want to buy you a house so you can move and be closer to us. Before you say no I just want to say that you can pick the house and it doesn't matter what the cost is we will pay for it. I just want you to be able to see your grandkids grow up and be apart-

Sylvia- Ariana slow down. I'm not going to let you buy me a house, are you crazy?

Ariana- yeah kinda

We both laugh at that even though I know there is some truth behind it.

Sylvia- I don't need you to buy me a house because I've already bought one. It's about an hour from your new house. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it's perfect.

Ariana- oh my gosh! I'm so excited

I walk over to her and hug her. I'm actually really excited that she's going to be so close to us that we can just take the kids for a visit and then come back home.
