chapter fifty; real life

August 13rd, 2021

"Can you believe I'll be twenty three?"

"Shut it." I say, burying myself further into the covers.

Reece and I had been awake since the last time Hunter woke us up, which was about an hour ago. For some reason, I couldn't go back to sleep, so Reece decided to stay awake, despite my protests since he has a show later on today.

"What? I'm just saying."

"I don't like it. It makes me feel old."

"You feel old? I'm the older one!"

"So?"

"Besides, you're twenty two."

"And? Before we know it we'll be fifty and our kids will begin university."

"Speaking of kids, what if we started trying for another one?"

"Reece, no."

"What?" He sits up, staring at me.

"I said no."

"Why?"

"I don't want another one-"

"Since when?"

"Will you let me finish my sentence?"

"Yes."

"I don't want another one right now. Hunter is only four months old, and I want at least a year in between them."

"I do too, but what if it takes forever because of... well, you know."

"Then there is going to be more space between them. I don't want anymore kids until everything settles down."

"What do you mean, settles down? We've settled down!"

"Reece, you're on tour right now, and you have another one planned in eight months. What if we decided to have another baby now and you're gone when I go into labour?"

He sighs. "Crap, I didn't think of that."

"I noticed."

He lays back down. "Sorry if I seemed upset."

"It's fine. I know we talked about having more than one kid, and it kind of sounded like I didn't want to have another one for a long time."

"Speaking of kids, Hunter's awake."

"What? How do you-"

I'm cut off by the sound of Hunter crying.

"Told you."

"Shut up. Just because of that you're getting him."

"I was already planning on it."

"Were you now?"

"Yes."

"Well then I suggest you get up instead of just sitting here and letting him cry. The boys might complain."

"Right. I forgot that they're on both sides of us."

"Reece! It's 7 in the morning!" Blake's voice is quiet due to the wall in between us, but you could still distinguish who it is.

"Blake! It's not their fault Hunter woke up!"

I chuckle at Olivia, who is now getting mad at Blake for waking her up.

"I don't appreciate being kicked!"

"Look, we're both angry because we were woken up, let's just go back to bed and-"

"Look who's talking! I'm the one who suggested that in the first place!"

Reece knocks on the wall. "Do I need to separate the two of you? You're acting like you're five!"

Next thing I know the door that connects our room to theirs opens up, and Olivia comes through and lays on our bed.

"Liv!" Blake peers into the room, barely awake as he stares at Olivia.

"I would rather sleep in the same room with a screaming baby then have you yelling at me because you were woken up from your beauty sleep!"

"Beauty sleep? Who said I had beauty sleep?!"

I laugh at the two before walking over to Hunter, Reece following.

"What the hell was that all about?" I question as Reece picks up Hunter.

"Blake and Olivia are always in the worst moods when they haven't had enough sleep. That's why they're fighting right now."

"So it's all going to be okay when they have a few more hours of sleep?"

"I'd say." He taps my shoulder, motioning for me to look over at the bed.

Blake and Olivia were both lying in it, sound asleep with each other's arms wrapped around the other.

"We've been kicked out of bed."

"Let's go wake up George." Reece says as he grabs the extra key to George's room. "He won't be in a bad mood."

"Remind me why we have these again?"

"Because Olivia and Blake are impossible to wake up if we're just pounding on the door so we agreed to give each other an extra key so it's easier. Blake and Olivia didn't need to give us theirs since we have a door that connects to their room from my room, so George and I traded in case one of us didn't wake up."

"Oh."

We walk into George's room, and Reece plops down onto the bed next to him.

"Did I over sleep?" George mumbles.

"Nope. Olivia and Blake kicked us out of bed so now we're saying hi."

George's head comes out from under his pillow.

"They did what now?"

"Since Hunter started crying Blake got mad at us for waking him up and the Olivia got mad at Blake for waking her up and Olivia came into our bed and Blake followed and now they're cuddling."

"Those two are weird."

"I know."

"Also, happy birthday Reece."
