Your POV

I woke up to Isabella laying on me and drooling on my shirt. I carefully moved the smaller girl and laid her next to Normani. I used the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face and put lotion on. The cut on my eyebrow was pretty much healed. I tried waking up Isabella, but she just cuddled further into Normani.

"I'll just eat pancakes by myself," I said going to get something to put on. I put on grey Nike sweatshorts, a black shirt and some black socks. I put on some cologne and deodorant. Isabella sat up and stretched.

"I 'eard 'ancakes," she said while yawing. I helped her out of the bed and she ran to the bathroom. She used the restroom, washed her hands and brushed her teeth. I helped her get cleaned up and changed her out of her pajamas. Normani got up shortly afterwards and started getting readying.

"We get Caleb?" Isabella asked me as I pulled her shirt over her head.

"Yes, and we have to pick up Brielle and Eden," I told her and sat her on the bed so I could put her shoes. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and put cartoons on while we waited for Normani to get ready. I texted Brielle to see her and the boys were ready.

"Mani, 'urry up," Bella yelled. I chuckled at her impatience. Normani came out of the bathroom looking gorgeous as always. I helped Isabella down of the bed and she ran over to Normani.

"Les go," Bella said pulling Normani out of my room. I grabbed my phone, wallet and the keys to my Escalade. I grabbed my backpack, put spare clothes and a first aid for Isabella because she was clumsy. I turned off my tv and the lights in my room before leaving out of the room. Normani and Isabella were waiting by the front door.

"Dad, did Uncle Des leave Bella's car seat here?" I yelled out as I walked down the stairs

"Yeah, it's by the garage door," he yelled back.

"Okay, see ya later, old man."

"Be safe." I walked to the garage and picked up Bella's car seat. I opened the door and flicked on the light.

"It's hot as fuck in here," I mumbled as I unlocked the truck. Normani got in and Isabella waited beside me while I put her car seat in the truck. Once I was done, I picked up the little girl, strapped her into the car seat and made sure it was secure.

"Les go get Bri, Y/N/N," Isabella excitedly squealed. I put my backpack down by Normani's feet and let the garage door up. I pulled out of the garage and let the the door back down. I put my seatbelt on and pulled off. Normani was texting someone and Isabella started with her song request.

"Y/N/N, put on the song," She said happily kicking her little legs. I quickly tapped on her Fifth Harmony playlist and hit shuffle. Que Bailes Conmigo Hoy came on and she was already feeling it. She wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs yet because it wasn't Ally's part yet.

"This is so cute. She knows the whole song in Spanish," Normani said looking back at the younger girl, who was happily singing along. Normani recorded her and posted it on her snapchat. After about fifteen minutes, I finally pulled up to Brielle's house and honked the horn. She came out with Eden holding her hand and Eden's car seat in the other. Brielle's mom, my dad's oldest sister, waved at us before going back in the house. I unlocked the door for her and waited for her to get everything situated. She sat Eden right next to Isabella and climbed in the back. I got out and closed the door for her. I got back in and pulled off. I put my seatbelt back on and continued driving.

"Bella, is Caleb by Damien or Julius?" I asked the little girl.

"He by Julz," she replied. I nodded and drove to Julius' house which was only five minutes away. I called Caleb and told him to come outside. Caleb had just turned 18 and couple days before and I told him I'd get him a car if he got accepted into at least four colleges. He got accepted into all eight colleges he applied for so I threw in a new iPhone and I was gonna pay to decorate his dorm. He just didn't know when I was going to surprise him. He was one of my favorite younger cousins. He came out with a big smile on his face and rushed to the truck. He put his bag in the trunk and got in the truck. He sat in the back with Bri.

"Choie said she can't come. Her mom made last minute plans," Normani said looking up from her phone.

"Okay, so the boy that just got in is my little cousin, Caleb. The one sitting next to him is my other cousin, Brielle or Bri. Lil man sitting next to Bella is Eden. Everybody, this is Normani," I said introducing them to each other.

"I wan' 'ancakes, Y/N/N" Eden said quietly.

"We get some in like thirty minutes, cutie," I told her. It ended up taking forty-five minutes because there was a car accident and we had to detour.

"Yay," The two youngest said in unison. I parked the truck. I helped Isabella and Eden out of the truck. They both insisted that I carried them because the ground was lava. Once everyone was out, I looked the truck and walked to the entrance of Auntie Jayme's restaurant. Caleb opened the door and I put the younger two down.

"Mommy," Isabella said running towards her mother and jumping into her arms.

"Hi, baby. What do you want to eat?" her mother asked.

" 'ancakes, mommy!"

"It's pancakes, baby. Not 'ancakes."

"Pancakes," Isabella said slowly trying to copy her mother.

"Good job, baby. Mommy will make you a special pancake and I whip up some breakfast for the rest of you," she said and put Isabella down to go to the kitchen. I sat down at a booth and waited for the food. The restaurant was practically empty because the morning rush was over. Auntie Jayme with the help of her cooking staff fixed us breakfast. Auntie Jayme sat with us while we ate to talk and to keep Isabella from wasting food on herself. She handed the me the keys to the car . Everyone was wrapped up in there own little conversation to notice. I threw a straw at Caleb to get his attention. He looked over at me and furrowed his eyebrows.

"You see that black Ford Fusion out there?" I asked him. He looked out of the window and nodded. I threw the keys at him and he caught them.

"You're kidding, right?" he asked. He pressed the unlock button and the car unlocked. He got out of the booth and hugged me tightly. He started crying.

"Go for a spin in your new car and check what's in the back seat," I replied. He ran out of the restaurant and he started screaming. I took my phone out and recorded him.

"Oh my gosh!"
