Chapter 66: Relax

Roni POV
I have a day off of the store and we just found out that they're flying Aaron back home while they're clearing up this whole stuntman incident. I think we all just need to relax. Kian has been running and ripping doing things until the baby comes, Nessa has to relax but the baby is past it's due date and she's worried, I have so much going on that I just need a break, and after all that happened and being worked nonstop Aaron needs one too. I clean up around the house a little so I can fully relax for a day. Even the kids are kind of tired. It's a low key day for too. They've just been watching TV all day, which is fine by me.

Aaron's flight gets is around 3:00 because he left early this morning. He's tired but happy to see is all. So much stuff has happened that he didn't know if we would all be here and ok when he came back. Of course when he gets there the kids gravitate towards him because they missed him. The twins mostly run to him. They missed him a lot and Vi is a daddy's girl. It's cute seeing them react to him being home because they're so happy.

As soon as Aaron drops off his bag upstairs, he comes down to relax with us. He collapses in the couch and gets just as into the TV show as everyone else.

After hours of watching random episodes of whatever's on TV and watching the kids as they play, we get a little bored. To cure this we look up things that can help Nessa go into labor earlier. It's not that she doesn't want Echo, she just wants her to finally get here so she can meet everyone.

"Uhhh, it says here to use an exercise ball" Kian says while reading off a list of things.

"I got it" I say. I open the closet and get two balls out. Nessa and I do the exercise until the kids take over with my ball. We try a whole bunch of remedies. We don't know if they're going to work, but hey isn't that the point in trying things?

We get pretty hungry so we order nachos and go back to our TV bingeing/ labor inducing activities until the kids get a little restless. We let them outside while I make dinner and clean up. Nessa helps too. She leaves midway through so she can pack her hospital bag. She has a strong intuition that Echo is going to be here soon. I do too and I almost always trust Nessa's intuition. It's usually the same as mine and gut feeling is always the true answer.

After dinner we give the kids a dessert. We make sure that we time it perfectly so that when it's time to go to bed their sugar crash comes a does the work for them. It's alway kind of funny watching kids on sugar. They go buck wild for no reason. We entertain it sometimes because why not?

After getting some good video footage for the vlogs and having a fun time with the kids it's time for bed. The twins definitely don't want a bath because they know that leads to having to go to bed, but they have to have one. When I finish giving the their bath, they're almost asleep before I can get them in the bed. They still insist on a bed time story so Aaron takes over a tells one and we kiss them good night. We finally make it into bed.

"It feels so good to be back in my own bed at home." Aaron sighs

"Your condo thing in Washington is kind of like home" I say after turning off my phone for the night.

"Well it's not as good as here" he turns and kisses me. We don't really feel like watching TV after the hours of it that we just watched and Aaron's kind of jet lagged from all the traveling that he's been doing, so we just talk. We catch up on what we've missed. We eventually fall asleep.

Not even ten minutes after drifting off we hear a knock on the door. I thought it was one of the twins but when Aaron opened it, it was Kian.

"What's wrong?" Aaron groggily whispers.

"Nessa is having contractions and we're going to the hospital to check it out. We're going to be gone for awhile and if Echo decides to come tonight then we might need you and Alex to watch Rebel." He whispers back.

"That's totally fine. Go do your thing, good luck, and keep us posted" Aaron says and closes the door. He climbs back in bed and tells me what Kian just said. I get excited but I realize that I'm going to need some sleep just in case the baby comes. I want to have plenty of energy for Rebel and Echo if she comes. I finally get some shut eye.

Morning seems to be coming faster that usual. When I check my phone I see that I'm bombarded with text convos between Kian, Nessa, Aaron, Mom, Dad, and Alex. Nessa's part of the convo stops because she started going into labor. I send her a nice paragraph in our private text and leave it there for her to see. I know she's got this. She's strong even though it's a tough process.

We take on an extra child for the day while we wait for that exciting message and a picture. It has us all on the edge of our seats. There's no better excitement of element of suspense than this one. It's nothing cooler than knowing that you're going to have a brand new life that you can teach and watch grow up. I'm so glad Nessa got to have this experience again.

While making breakfast all of our phones ding. We all look but don't see the text we're expecting to see.
