strangers in love

chapter 1

AMELIAS POV
It's been almost 4 months since I got into a messy divorce with my ex husband Spencer and I got full custody of our three children, Emma, Joey and Izzy. Emma's the oldest, she's almost 13, and Joey is 8 and Izzy is 6. I had to move to Seattle, I couldn't live in the same house anymore where he lived. I've decided to relocate my family to Seattle, where I can be closer to my brother Derek and his wife and their kids. Derek is the head neurosurgeon at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital and he offered me a job. We were now in our new house unpacking and the kids start school in a few days. The divorce has been really hard on Joey and Izzy, they're little and don't fully understand what happened and why their father isn't around anymore. I was unpacking some dishes in the kitchen and I heard Emma walk in.
"Mom I finished unpacking my room if you want to see," she said.
"Okay give me a minute honey I'll be right up," I said.
"Do you want help unpacking in here?" She asked.
"Oh no I'm okay thanks though," I said, "what are your brother and sister up to?"
"Izzy is unpacking her toys and Joey is making a fort in his room," she said.
"Okay," I said and put the last of the dishes away and walked up to her room. It was really neat and organized and I loved it.
"You should unpack my room this looks so good," I chuckled.
"Thanks," she laughed, "when do you go to work?"
"Tomorrow morning," I said, "You Guys Are going to go to Uncle Derek's tomorrow."
"Okay," she said.
"Are you somewhat excited to start school?" I said, I know the moves been hard on her.
"Uh Yeah," She said, "I mean I'm gonna miss my friends but I can still FaceTime them and stuff."
"Yeah," I said.
"What about you?" She said, "Are you excited to start work?"
"Eh," I chuckled, "I mean I guess so."
"Well you'll get to be with Uncle Derek," she said.
"Yeah," I said. Her phone rang and she smiled.
"It's Rachel can I FaceTime her?" She asked.
"Yes of course," I said and kissed her head before walking out. I walked down the hall to Izzy's new room. I opened the door and she had her dollhouse and all her toys in her room.
"Hi baby," I smiled.
"Mommy look I organized my dolls!" She smiled.
"I'm impressed," I smiled.
"Mommy I'm hungry," she said.
"Okay," I chuckled, "I'll make lunch." I walked down to Joeys room and as Emma said, he was making a fort.
"Joey honey do you want lunch?" I said.
"Yeah," he said and ran out and down the stairs. I chuckled and stopped by Emma's room.
"Hey mom," Emma said as i opened the door.
"Hey I'm making lunch if you want some," I said.
"Okay give me a minute," She said. I closed the door and Joey and Izzy ran downstairs. I started making lunch and I just hoped that this new life would be okay, and that all would be okay after Spencer.
