When Amanda came home that night I told her everything that happened between Spencer, Sophia and myself. I also introduced her to Santana as well. At the beginning I could tell that she was keeping her distance from the girls, which I can understand. Alicia didn't leave her arms that night.

The next week went smoothly, we sort of got into a routine again. Spencer and Santana worked into our home really well. All I know is that I don't really want them to leave at the end of the term. Having Spencer around is like having a mini me when I was her age.

For the moment neither of them are complaining about having to share the room. I also talked to Amanda and she agreed to my plans on expanding the house. Well with the things I'm thinking, it's going to be more like a complete remodel. We need more room for Alicia when she gets a bit older she needs her own room and eventually I want to have another one of her running around. So I gave my friend a called and he is going to fast track everything with the remodel.

So now we have to pack everything up and get it ready to move into a guest cabin for a few months while the new house gets built. Spencer has been helping a lot with this. Since I found out that she is my sister I haven't really let her out of my sight. Every time I turn around she is usually right behind me. She has also really helped me a lot when it came time to drawing up the plans for the house. That's when we talked about what she really wanted to do after college. From looking at the way it was so easy for her to draw up the blueprints I told her she might want to think about changing her major to architecture.

Both girls helped get everything in boxes as we started to move things into the barn for storage and moving the rest into the guest cabin. In between starting to move everything around I left Alicia with Amanda a lot to help with Tomas on the farm. Things were quiet busy around the farm for the next few weeks.

Between working at the studio on varies shoots, helping on the farm, working at the gym working with Spencer on her internship and a newborn I was starting to burn out. Amanda and I barely saw each other with her at the restaurant a lot because it's now the busy season. Whenever we did it was usually passing Alicia off to one another and then at night in our bed.

Finally we were starting to get a break when Amelia took Alicia for the night and my latest booking canceled. Amanda and I got ourselves a date night out on the town. We didn't end up staying out for long seeing as once 11 rolled around we were both dead tired. But it was nice just to be out with my wife though and not to having to worry about anything else but just us.

After our date night the week that followed was one from hell. I had shoots booked every day and Amanda had to work at the restaurant every night because her su chef was in the hospital after almost cutting off his finger while cutting something. I've had Spencer take over some of my easier shoots while I had to watch Alicia because Amelia and Tomas were busy.

But things took a turn at the end of the week. Melanie left the studio early and Spencer walked to the restaurant to pick up dinner while I edited some shots in my office. I left the front door unlocked waiting for her to come back as I had some music playing trying to push through these edits to get back to my clients. I thought I heard the front door open so I saved the picture I was working on and walked into the front of the studio.

Waiting for me were two thugs in black ski masks. I stopped in my tracks as they focused on me. Guns were never my favorite thing but in Austrialia they have very strick gun laws and it makes them hard to get. I do have one hand gun at house but it's doing me no good now. I usually keep a pocket knife on me but I have gotten so comfortable here that I haven't had it one me.
