I think my life might have just flashed before my eyes. 

The coffee in my mouth is all of a sudden on the counter and my mouth is now super burned and there's coffee dripping down my top. 

Poor Liam chokes on the bite of food he had just put in his mouth. He takes the glass of orange juice his mother handed and takes a swing to clear the pancake out of his throat.

Chase whos directly to my left swears under his breath and hands me a towel and James grabs the mug out of my hand and quickly wipes the counter down.

 Kate gasps and smacks her husband on the shoulder with the towel in her hand. 

"Ethan!" 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he speaks to his wife, looking at me concerned.

Liam is out of his chair and right next to me wiping the coffee off of my chin and neck. 

"You good?" Liam questions with a frown, I nod my head as James wraps his jacket around my body, to hide the fairly prominent coffee stain on my chest.

I nod and look towards the President, "Are you ready to go, sir?"

he responds with a curt nod and stands.

I squeeze Liam's bicep as I leave the room with my brothers flanking me. 

We walk towards oval trailing behind the president.

We stand in a line with our back on the wall looking at the president.

"I'm sorry for my comment, Scarlett, I meant no harm." I shake my head.

"No harm no foul, sir. I know you meant nothing by it."

" I truly didn't" he opens his mouth to say more but as he does his phone beeps from its place on the desk. "My wife just invited you to dinner tonight, shes making beef stroganoff, she wants to know if that's alright with you?"

I nod "sounds great." and with a nod from the president I push my back to the wall and resume my day of doing almost nothing.

After hours of surveying the area and watching super boring meetings, we make our way back to the residence and when we walk in we are met with a fairly uncommon scene. 

Peace.

The girls are playing on the floor in the living room and the baby playing in a pin with a monitor next to him.

We all walk into the kitchen following the president. 

We see the first lady at the stove who looks almost done.

"Boys," she says looking all of them in the eye, "you all are dismissed," she speaks with a smile. "We'll see you tomorrow" they all nod and turn and leave the residence with kisses in my cheek and squeezes on the arm.

I hear the door close and I look at me. "Liam is in his room," she speaks in a kind voice. 

I nod and exit the room passing the girls who have stopped playing with each other and are now sitting on the sofa listening to their father who is reading to them.

I walk down the hall and stop in front of Liam's door. I take a breath and listen.

I hear his music playing from the speaker under his tv. I pause and knock on the door.

He responds with permission to enter and I push the door open.

I enter the room and see my boyfriend lounging on the bed reading a harry potter book.

"Whatcha readin'? "I ask and shoot him a smile when he looks up at me.

"The 5 Harry Potter, again," he says opening his arms, I walk towards the bed and sit in his arms that are now wrapped around me.
