GIA POV

A whole year later...

"Boys come on! We are going to be late getting you to school!" I yelled. Salem was around the table making a huge mess eating her breakfast. "And you missy please try and not feed the floor". She smiled "I try". As I was trying to get myself together the baby started crying. Salem looked over her shoulder "baby crying!".

"Yes, she is" I said. Salem watched me get the bottle and handed it to the baby. The boys came out finally. Kai got so big within the year. I don't even know when he grew and Ryan he's so tall! "Mom don't start with the tears" he warned.

"I can't help it. My boys are growing up!" I said.

"You got me, Salem!" Salem smiled. I love how Salem always used herself in third person. "Okay so you boys start making your way to the car. While I get Salem together and Harlow together.

Salem loved her little sister

Salem loved her little sister. I would think it would be the other way around. "Harlow is happy!" She said.

"She's always happy!" I smiled. Salem went to get her jean jacket and small book bag. While I got Harlow's jacket on. We all left the house and jumped in the car. "Mom is dad coming for us today?!" Ryan asked.

Looking at him through the rear view mirror "yeah I think so. He didn't text me anything saying he wasn't". Ryan nodded "cool". Delano and I Well after that situation I just didn't want to be around him. Being pregnant and stressed wasn't healthy. So I exited myself from him and the city. I did in fact mail him the divorce papers but he refused to sign it. What else is new?.

Pulling up to the boys school they got out and waved bye. "Salem now it's your turn.. to day care you go" she smiled "okay". Pulling up to her daycare the teacher came to help Salem out. I thanked her and drove to where I worked. Luckily, the daycare my job had was only for babies. So Salem wasn't eligible to go there. Sucks I know!.

Carrying Harlow into the daycare I handed off her bag with milk and diapers and clothes and went to work. Life as a mom with four kids is no joke. Never mind I have two under two. I'm happy Ryan and Kai do help out a lot. As for Harlow... I know many of you are wondering if I ever told Delano I was pregnant. Well not necessarily. I was so upset with him from before that I didn't even tell him. He didn't even notice anyway cause I didn't allow him in my house. The boys always met him outside. Even today he's not allowed in my home. So when he comes he takes the boys and sometimes Salem if she wants to go. But most of the time she rather stay here with me and Harlow. Coming from the once daddy's girl.

As for the witch Bria. The crazy thing was they found her body floating in the river. Apparently she drowned. I have no idea. It sounds very fishy to me too. But I guess whatever. And yes, it was her. The funeral they had for her was ridiculous. Like she was some type of celebrity. Anyway...

Delano wasn't as upset about Brias death than I thought he would be. I don't care either way. I'm just waiting for him to suck it up and sign the damn divorce papers!.

As the day for me was finished I did what I did in the morning backwards. First with Harlow who was happy... then Salem and then the boys. That was my life now. Kids and just being a mom.

When we all got home. The boys went to do their homework and Salem I had her working on her ABC's. Why not get her ahead, right?.

Hearing a horn honking outside. The boys jumped up and raced outside. "Well damn don't tell me bye" I mumbled. Salem came up to me "daddy outside?".

"Yup! Are you going this time? You know you can go with your brothers. I bet daddy would love to see you" I said. She looked at the door and back at me "I stay here with Harlow". I shrugged "okay".

Ryan came inside "dad wants to know if Salem wants to come along".

Turning to Salem she shook her head. I shrugged "I tried". He frowned and ran back outside to the car. Hearing the car speed off... I saw Salem playing with Harlow. "When Harlow goes Then I go" she said.

"Yeah I guess" I said. But Delano doesn't really know about Harlow. I made sure the boys didn't mention anything to him. When I was ready I would tell him. Whenever that is... looking at Harlow I sighed. "Well girlies I guess it's just us tonight. Let's watch a movie!".

"Frozen" Salem yelled.

"Not again" I whined.

"Let it go!!!" She sang. Dammit not again. I can't watch frozen for the fifteenth million time. "Fine go get it!". She jumped up and ran off to her room to get the DVD. Lord this will be the longest two hours of my life with Salem belting out every song.
