Annie and Pete let us go in the guest room. There's a massive triple bed that fits us all in.
'I can't wait for tomorrow.' Willow Says
'I can't wait to see all of you smiling.' I say, eyeing Ina, Luna and Willow.
They giggle.
'I've always dreamt of a big sister like you, Not.' Willow Says.
I smile.
I put my charm on the bedside table on my side.
Pete is very tired so only Annie comes to kiss us good night.
'Night, Mom.' I whisper.
Annie pauses.
'Not.' She says 'What did you say?'
'I said 'Goodnight Mom'' I say.
Annie's jaw drops.
'Goodnight my lovely daughters.' Annie says as a smile spreads across her face.
I protectively wrap my arms round the 3 girls. My 3 sisters. My 4th one sleeping peacefully along with my brothers. I'm happy here. This is where I want to stay. Forever.
'Night, Willow.' I whisper, since Ina and Luna are asleep.
'Night Not.' She whispers back, before falling asleep.
As I drift off to sleep I picture the smiling faces of my siblings tomorrow.
