Roni POV
August is the most hectic month for our family. Nessa and I's birthdays and the twins birthdays are all this month. Nessa took on the responsibility to plan out our birthday. We don't want much so it's going to be simple, but it still needs planning. Right now I'm planning Violet and Vincent's birthday party. They're turning two and they know it, so they've already ready told me what they want. Vi wants unicorns and Vinny wants dinosaurs. Two complete opposite things. That's going to be a struggle, but I'm working it out. One thing that I know I've already got covered is the cake. Rosanna Pansino offered to make their cakes. She's a total life saver because finding a good cake place in LA that is not very expensive is really hard. Plus who doesn't want a cake from the amazing Rosanna Pansino herself.
I'm deep into working on clearing out my schedule when Aaron stops in my doorway.
"Need help with anything?" He asks. He's been trying to be a big help with the twins birthday. He wants to make sure that the weight is not all on my shoulders.
"Nah I think I'm good" I say
"Are you sure? I just laid the twins down for a nap and I'm free." He offers
"I promise I'm good babe, but I'll give you a call if I need help" I reassure him.
"I'm going to play ball with Alex and Kian. I'll be back before the kids wake up"
"Ok, have fun!" I say. I go back to working and getting planned. I totally got got that New York fashion week is coming up and that Nessa and I are supposed to go. That's just another thing that I need to add to my plans. That also reminds me that I have to send in my designs for the kids portion of Trueimg.
After all that planning and realizing how much I have to do, I decide to take a little break. I push my laptop and my planner to the side and pull a blanket on myself. I turn on some Netflix and watch an episode and a half. A scene of people getting shot shows. I flashback to that night but I shake the thought out of my head. I try not to think about it. Elijah is long gone and I don't want to bring memories of him or the damage that he caused back up. Why should I? It's a new life,.....I think.
Nessa peaks in my doorway as I skip the scene that caused me to have a flashback.
"Whatcha watching?" She asks
"Nothing much" I say
"Mind if I join? I just put Rebel down for a nap and I saw that the twins are fast asleep"
"You know I'm always down for a sister date" I say. I scoot over and make some room for her to sit beside me. I share some of the blanket with her.
"It's been awhile since we've did this" she says
"Yeah the last time it didn't go to well"
"Don't make me paranoid" she laughs
"There's no reason to be unless we hear somebody opening and door or window" I tease. Just as I say that we hear the front door open. Nessa and I scream.
"It's just us!" Kian yells from down stairs. Nessa and I breathe a sigh of relief and we start laughing.
"What's going on up here?" Alex asks
"Just us being paranoid" I say
"You guys really need to stop watching scary movies, especially when you're at home alone" Aaron says
"Don't worry, we definitely will now" Nessa says and turns off the tv that shows that we were really just watching Grey's Anatomy. "How was basketball" she asks
"Good. Aaron finally lost this time" Kian says
"Hey I'm just a little rusty ok" Aaron defends
"I never lose" Alex says
"But our score board says other wise" Kian teases. Alex crosses his arms and rolls his eyes.
"You guys can keep arguing, I'm going to go check in on the kids" I say. I peek in Adrian's room. He looks like he's starting to wake up. The twins look like they're waking up too when I check on them. Rebel still sprawled out in the floor. I pick up one twin in each hand. I bring them back to my room where Aaron is laying across the bed.
"Aaron!" I whisper yell
"What did I do this time?" He sighs
"You're on the bed in your sweaty dirty clothes" I say
"Sorry" He says and gets up "I'll take one of them off your hands" He says and picks up Vi. She looks like she waking up now but she keeps going back to sleep. I go to check on Adrian again. He's laying in his bed watching TV. He should be good. I close the door and Vinny starts crying.
"What's wrong buddy?" I ask. He reaches his hand out and says "sissy". Sissy is what he calls Vi. When they're crabby they don't want to be separated. It's strange.
"Sissy is with dada" I say. He stats saying dada. I bring him to Aaron, where Vi is crying to.
"She's cranky because you took Vinny out of the room" He says
"That's exactly why he's crying" I say. I lay him on the bed and Aaron lays Vi on the bed. They give each other a hug.
"Awww" I say. Aaron wraps his arm around my neck and rest it on my shoulders. He pulls me closer and gives me a kiss on the forehead by my temple.
"I love you" he says
"I love you too" I respond and give him a quick kiss. I never thought I would be here in a million years, but it was worth the bust schedule and long wait. Seeing the twins play like that and hearing Aaron say those words make me want to give them the world no matter what it takes.
