They Motivate Me (OT4/G!P)

Leigh-Anne

While Perrie and Jade went to work, Jesy and I stayed home to watch the kids. Lia was also here, and let me say, she's a great big sister.

She was currently playing the newest FIFA game she had gotten for her 15th birthday and was teaching Josh and Jazzy how to play.

Langston was sitting next to them watching. Jesy and I sat behind them on the sofa.

"I wanna be Uncle Dre's team!" Jasmine says enthusiastically while scrolling through the team options. "That's not his team, PJ, he plays for this one. Watford," Lia says to her.

"I want the red team. I like red."

"Wait your turn, okay, Langston?" He nods with a little noise before looking back at the screen.

Jesy grabs my hand and puts her head on my shoulder. I then start singing the song quietly and ironically.

"Really, Leigh?" Jesy looks at me with an amused look. I shrug, "What? It's Paul Anka."

"Give it back!" We suddenly hear. "No! It's mine!"

"It's mine! You ate yours, Leon!"

Two of our boys come running in, right towards us. "Mammy, Leon ate his cookie and now he's trying to eat mine," Amelio says to Jesy in his little Geordie accent.

"No, this is mine! Lia gave it to me." Leon says, sounding just as Geordie.

"I did not," my eldest calls out while still helping the others with the game. I raise an eyebrow at Leon, studying the bit of crumbs at the corners of his mouth.

"Give your brother his cookie back," I tell him. "But Mam-,"

"Leon Elliot," I warn, earning me a pout from the five year old. He gives it to Amelio and apologizes. I smile and beckon for him to come to me. He eagerly hops in my lap and wraps his little arms around my neck in a hug.

"You gotta stop taking your siblings' food after you eat yours. That's not fair to them," I kiss the side of his head. He pouts again, "I'm sorry, Mammy."

"It's okay, Lee. Just don't do it anymore. If you wanted another cookie, you could've asked," I tell him and he nods slightly. "Can I have another one?"

I shake my head, "Because you took Meli's and then lied about Lia giving it to you. Now, go play," I pat his leg, but he doesn't move. "Can I stay right here, then?" I smile softly while looking down at his wide, blue eyes.

"Sure, pet," I tell him then glanced over at Jesy, who had Amelio in her lap. This caused me to chuckle, since they have to be the most alike despite coming from different mums.

I watch as Jade's male clone breaks off a piece of his cookie and holds it out to his brother. "Here you go, Leon," he says and the blond takes it graciously. "Cheers."

"Finally! These two have been buggin' me all afternoon!" In comes Jordin with her hands on her hips. Her lispy voice was heard before she appeared in the doorway.

She sounded as if she was born and raised in Essex rather than here.

"What's the matter?" Jesy asks. "I'm tryin' to do my letters and write my name, but they were noisy," she squints behind her blue framed glasses. "We start school in two weeks, y'know," she glares at her brothers.

"And I canna wet!" Amelio cheers. "Me, too!" His twin pipes up. My eldest groans, "I can."

"I can't wait, either. But I still wanna know how to do somethin' before school starts," Jordin crosses her arms over her shirt with a frown on her face.

Lia then chuckles, "JJ, it's okay. You don't have to work yourself. Save that for secondary school."

"Aye, calm doon," Leon says and Jordin rolls her hazel eyes. "Come sit with us, babe," Jesy tells her while Amelio made room on her lap for Jordin.

She drops her arms and walks over to us, plopping herself on Jesy's lap. Amelio wraps his arms around Jordin with a big smile on his face. Jordin hugs him back automatically.

He has to be the most affectionate one of the bunch.

Another thirty or so minutes of watching Lia teaching the kids, Perrie and Jade get home.

The kids get up from their spots and rush to the two women with sounds of excitement. I look over at Jesy, who was fast asleep on my shoulder with Amelio, who's also asleep, on her bosom.

Good thing both were pretty deep sleepers. Meli is a sweetheart, but a terror when he's woken up.

Moments later, Perrie and Jade enter the living room to see their sleeping loves. "About time you got back," I comment. "We got caught up," Jade says after giving me a kiss on the lips.

I smile knowingly, earning an eye roll from the older Geordie, "In traffic, ya div." I shrug.

"Is she still holdin' that against us?" Perrie all but whines. "Damn skippy," I nod.

Alia then comes out of the kitchen, "Dinner's almost done."

"Can I help?" Jordin, Leon, and Jasmine ask at the same time. She smiles, ruffling Leon's hair. "Go wash your hands," the three immediately start running towards the bathroom.

"How was work?" I ask the women, watching as they both plant kisses on our sleeping loves' foreheads. "Eh, it was work," Perrie replies while Jade plopped down on beside me, resting her head on me as well.

"You okay, Jadey?" She responds with a deep sigh so I looked at Pez for help. She wore an expression between worried and upset. "She's nervous."

"What about?" I glance down at the younger brunette. "The kids start school soon," she mumbles and I smile fondly before kissing the crown of her head.

"There's nothing to be nervous about, love."

Jade lifts her head, "Actually, 'm a bit... worried." I furrow my brows. "About?" She sighs again and glances at Pez.

"It's just... they're growin' up so fast," she stresses, causing me to chuckle. "Babe, they're only five."

"They'll be six in a month, though. Just yesterday, we were changing their nappies, and now?" Perrie says just as dramatically. I laugh again, causing Jesy to stir awake while Lio stayed put.

"Hey, girls," she says groggily while wiping sleep from her eyes. "Jes, please tell these two that the kids aren't growing up that fast."

"Just yesterday, we were changing their nappies," Perrie repeats. "Now, they're starting school very soon. Before you know it, they'll be in university!" Jade then says while moving hair behind her ear.

"One year at a time," Jesy says while wrapping her arms around Amelio. "But you have to admit, you missed when they were babies," Jade says. Jesy glances down at the slumbering boy drooling on her.

"Sometimes. Then I think about how sore they had Pez and I."

"And Leigh and I brought you ice for your nips," Jade argues which made me laugh once again. "Point is, they're growin' too fast," she huffs.

"Just wait until they start secondary school," Jesy says. "We'd be propa old by then," Perrie cringes. "You just turned 33, Pez."

"Yeah, and when they all hit year 7, I'd be 40!" The blonde seemed legitimately stressed.

"Pez, you still look 25, so calm doon," Jesy says, imitating her accent. "Honestly, we all pretty much look the same as before the kids were born," I shrug.

"Nah, me boobs seem smaller now. Pretty sure Lia got bigger boobs than me."

"I think you have a lovely pair, Jade," Jesy says, reaching over to mess with her chest playfully. Jade looks down then back up with a raised eyebrow.

"Makes sense. You love pancakes," she says in a nonchalant manner, causing us to all chuckle.

Jasmine then runs in wearing her Princess Jasmine apron and a big smile, her cute dimples on display.

"Wash your hands, it's dinner tiimmmeee!"
