OWENS POV
Amelia and I were going out to dinner tonight which was very overdue. It was Friday and the kids were home, and old enough that we didn't have to bring them to Meredith and Derek's house. Amelia was getting ready in the bathroom and I was laying on our bed watching her. She was so beautiful.
"Hey Mia?" I said.
"Mhm?" She said as she was putting makeup on.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," she smiled. I got up and walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Owen I'm trying to get ready," she chuckled.
"You look beautiful anyway," I said.
"Thanks," she blushed. I kissed her cheek and went back to our bed.

Amelia and I were at dinner and she was so pretty.
"Do remember the little girl Abby at the hospital?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"We we're doing more scans on her mom and she has a brain tumor," Amelia frowned, "Derek and I are working on some methods but I feel bad."
"That's so sad," I frowned.
"I know," She said.
"I want to meet Avas boyfriend," I chuckled.
"Me too!" She said.
"You ask," I chuckled.
"What? No you said it first," she said.
"You freak out less," I said.
"Fine," she said, "I'll ask."
"Thank you," I chuckled.
"I want to meet Liam's girl too," she said, "although they you know 'aren't dating' "
"Sounds like Ava and Justin," I chuckled.
"Do you think Logan has anyone?" She asked.
"Maybe, I don't know," I said.
"Me either, seems like we know nothing about them anymore," she chuckled.
"Yeah," I said.
"When did we get so old and have kids who are dating?" She chuckled.
"I have no idea," I chuckled.
"Which reminds me that your birthday is coming up," she smiled.
"Don't remind me," I chuckled.
"Why don't you like your birthday?" She said.
"I do, I'm just old," I said.
"Close to 50," she chuckled. I kicked her under the table and she smirked.
"Hey I have two years," I said.
"You do, but I have 4," She said. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," she smiled.

We were walking out of dinner and I was holding Amelia's hand. I had such a good time at dinner and it was long overdue. I kissed her head and she smiled.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look today?" I said.
"You did, but I like hearing it again," she smiled, "especially from my handsome boy." She pecked my lips and I smiled. We got to the car and we both got in the start driving home.
"We need to get out more often," She chuckled.
"Agreed," I said.
LOGANS POV
Mom and Dad were on a date right now which left all of us home. Ava and Liam were upstairs talking to Jamie and Justin. I was downstairs with Olivia, Riley, and Noah. We were playing scrabble in the living room, it was going by incredibly slow because Riley and Noah needed help forming words.
"Why isn't Ava and Liam playing?" Olivia said.
"Because they're talking to Jamie and Justin," I said.
"Well that's annoying," she said.
"Agreed but I don't want to bother them," I said.
"Whatever," she said and took her turn.
"Just let it go," I said.
"Is Jamie Liam's girlfriend?" Noah asked.
"Probably, I don't know," I said.
"Why don't you know?" Riley said.
"He hasn't told me," I chuckled.
"Can we have ice cream?" Noah asked.
"I don't see why not," I said.
"Word I'll get it," Olivia said and got up. Riley and Noah followed them into the kitchen and I cleaned up the game. My phone buzzed and it was my mom telling me that her and dad would be home soon. I walked into the kitchen and Riley was helping Olivia with the ice cream.
"Mom and Dad are coming home soon," I said.
"Okay," Olivia said. She handed me a scoop of ice cream and Noah handed me the sprinkles.
"What about Ava and Liam?" Riley asked.
"Hey you snooze you lose," Olivia said.
"Liv," I chuckled.
"It's true," she said.
"Guess so," I said.
"Can I eat ice cream on the couch and watch Tv?" Noah asked.
"Yeah just don't get ice cream on the couch mom and dad will be mad," I said.
"Okay!" Noah said.
"Me too?" Riley said.
"Yeah," I said. I sat down next to Olivia and she was on her phone.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.
"No why," I said.
"Hey I was just curious," she said.
"Do you?" I said.
"I wish," she chuckled.
"Me too," I said.
"Who even is Jamie, I've never even heard of her before," she said.
"She doesn't go to our high school," I said.
"I see," she said.
"Why are you so salty about them dating?" I said.
"Because it's all about them," she said, "it's all they do is talk to them."
"You would do the same," I chuckled.
"Would not!" She said.
"You don't know that," I chuckled.
AMELIAS POV
We pulled into the driveway and I had such a good time with Owen. I got out and he came over and kissed me.
"I love you," He said.
"I love you too," I said.
"Time to see if the kids killed each other," Owen chuckled.
"Oh joy," I chuckled. I opened the door and Riley and Noah were eating ice cream on the couch.
"Mommy! Daddy!" They smiled and ran over to us.
"How was your date?" Noah asked.
"It was good," I smiled.
"Mommy we played scrabble and it was fun," Riley smiled.
"That's awesome baby," I smiled and kissed her head.
"Can you guys watch Paw Patrol with us?" They begged.
"Let us go say hi to your siblings and we'll be back okay?" I said.
"Okay!" They said and ran back to the couch. I walked into the kitchen with Owen and Olivia and Logan were sitting at the table.
"Hi guys," Owen said.
"Where's Ava and Liam?" I asked.
"Talking to Jamie and Justin," Olivia said and rolled her eyes. Logan chuckled and shrugged.
"Yeah," he said, "and Olivia is being dramatic about it."
"Shut up," Olivia said. I chuckled and hugged them both before going upstairs. We said hi to Ava and Liam but they were both on the phone. Owen and I were walking down to our room to put pajamas on and then to watch TV with Riley and Noah. I grabbed Owens sweatshirt that he left on the bed and walked downstairs while he was still changing. I sat down next to Riley and Noah on the couch and they were so cute watching TV.
"Aren't you guys tired it's late," I chuckled.
"No!" They said.
"Did you eat a lot of sugar while I was gone?" I chuckled.
"No," Noah said, "just ice cream!" I chuckled and they both snuggled into me. I put my arms around them and I heard Owen come downstairs.
"Daddy!" Noah said.
"Hey buddy," Owen said and sat down next to me and Noah snuggled into Owen. Riley put her head in my lap and I could tell she was tired.
"Riley are you tired?" I chuckled.
"No," she said sleepily.
"Okay," I chuckled.
"Stop being such a bitch!" Ava yelled from upstairs. I sighed and looked at Owen.
"I'll deal with it," I said.
"You sure?" Owen said.
"Probably girl stuff anyway," I chuckled. Riley sat up and I walked upstairs. I could hear Olivia and Ava yelling at each other. I walked down the hall and they were arguing in Ava's room.
"What the fuck is going on?" I said.
"All ava wants to do is talk to justin, I can't even talk to her! She's spent the whole day talking to him and she's being a bitch about it!" Olivia said.
"Am not! You're just jealous!" Ava said.
"No I'm not!" Olivia said.
"Stop arguing!" I said, "Sit down both of you." They both sat down on Ava's bed and I sighed.
"Ava you cannot ignore your sister because of Justin, and Olivia you can't get mad every time she's talking to him," I said.
"But she always talks to him!" Olivia said.
"That's why I'm saying you can't ignore her, Ava," I said.
"I'm not!" Ava said, "she's just being annoying!" I sighed and looked at them.
"Just try to get along," I said.
"Well I don't want to talk to you anymore," Olivia said and walked out. Ava rolled her eyes and went back on her phone.
"Goodnight," I said before closing her door.
"Goodnight mom I love you," she said.
"I love you too," I said. I opened Olivia's door and she was on her computer.
"Goodnight I love you," I said.
"Goodnight, love you too mom," she said. I opened Liam's door and he was playing video games per usual.
"Goodnight Liam," I said. He turned and smiled.
"Goodnight, love you," he said.
"I love you too," I said. Lastly, I opened Logan's door. Logan was watching a football game on his TV.
"Goodnight Logan," I said.
"Night mom, love you," he said.
"I love you too," I said. I walked back downstairs and Owen was walking upstairs with a fast asleep Riley in his arms.
"Someone got tired," Owen chuckled. I chuckled and walked past him and Noah was awake on the couch.
"Hi mommy," he said.
"Hi," I said and sat down next to him.
"You look sad," he said.
"I'm just tired," I said softly and ran my fingers through his hair, but if we're being honest I didn't know what to do about Ava and Olivia because they always fight, and sometimes it reminded me of me and my sisters.
