The Return (Book #2)

Twenty four

Thea's POV

I wake up and look around me to see all the kids all asleep and cradled up around me

By all I mean all

As in the quads, Sierra

Luca and Lucy (Mac's kids)

Teresa and Pablo (Luis's kids)

And finally little April (Alize's kid) who is sound asleep right under my left arm while Carter is on my right

I just lean back again and close my eyes once again to go back to sleep

2 hours later

Snap

I open my eyes and start to stretch

Once I'm finished with that I look to see Mason trying to leave

"You" I say and he freezes

"Theirs food" he says making me forget everything as I was about to jump up and out of the room I stop once I noticed I'm surrounded by the kids

"Kids theirs food" I say and the quads and Sierra instantly get up making me giggle

"I'll race you their big head" Carter says to Sierra as they start to race

"Idiots, Sebastian already won them both" Theodore says and Esteban just starts to growl as if he's a damn animal while jumping off the bed and walking out of the room

"Weirdos" I mumble and get off the bed

"Kids if you don't get up then there won't be any M&Ms left" I say making Lucy and Teresa get up and leave the room "No video games-"

"We're up!" Luca and Pablo shout and I'm surprised that April didn't wake up

They leave the room and I go on my knees by where April is in the bed

"Common honey, you could sit on my lap during breakfast" I say and she opens one of her eyes

"Promise?" She says sticking out her pinky and I smile "promise" I say and I pinky promise her

"Common now" I say taking her in my arms and she giggles

I turn and see Mason looking at me

I can't really read his face but I just stare at him with a small smile "What?" I ask and he just shakes his head

I look at him weirdly and walk past him with April in my hip

"I have a feeling that their all going to pass me in height when they start growing" I say knowing that Mason is following behind me

"Why do you feel like that?" He ask in curiosity

"Well have you seen their moms? Their walking models! I'm surprised you even waited for me" I say the last part in a whisper so he won't hear

"Why wouldn't I wait for you?" He says and I stop and turn to him, feeling my face heat up in embarrassment

"I cause too much trouble" I say with a weak smile "I'm too reckless" I whisper

And it is true I am too reckless

"What's life without a bit of chaos" he says getting closer to me to the point that I have to look up

"I would wait for you again if I had too" he says placing a kiss on my forehead

"But why?" I ask and he looks at me with something I can't read in his eyes
