FIVE YEARS LATER

"Linden Christopher if I have to tell you again to get off the table I'm gonna put you in time out, knock it off." I grabbed him and set him in his spot again.

"Mommy" he whined. "I'm not hungry"

"Linden" I sighed. "No snacks until that's gone. You may get up but when you get hungry it'll be there for you to eat. Go on."

He ran off and I looked at Xavier who was eating so well.
"My little chunks. I can always count on you to eat mommy's cooking" I kissed his cheek

"Daddy!!" Linden yelled from the living room.

"Hey buddy"

"Linden, quiet. Sissy is sleeping." I said walking in. "Hi baby"

"Mmm" he kissed me. "Hey beautiful."

"How was work"

He works with his dad now and makes decent money doing it.
"Boring. I missed you guys. Where's my daughter?"

"Sleeping."

He started to go to her room and I sighed, "Oliver. Let that poor girl sleep"

Our three year old daughter, Novalee, was definitely a daddy's girl. And Oliver spoiled the hell out of her. He spoiled all the kids but they have this special bond.

Soon enough they walked down the stairs.

"Hey Novie, you hungry?" I asked.

"Daddy can we go play outside?" Linden asked. Xavier came in and hugged Oliver.

"Hey buddy!" Oliver hugged him. "Not right now Lin."

"Pleaseeeeee" he whined.

"Go get your shoes on." I said. "Come here sweet girl"

I grabbed Novalee from him and kissed her cheeks.
"Let's get some food then we can go outside and play too"

"Nana"

"Banana? We can do that." I set her on the counter and grabbed her a banana. "I love you"

"Love you" she smiled.

We all went outside and I sat in my chair.

My world.

Xavier screamed as Oliver chased him around our backyard playground.

I giggled as he came running over to me and only my lap.
"Leave my babies alone" I kissed Xaviers curly haired head.

"Mommy come play" he said.

"Mommy is old. You go play. I'll watch. Maybe Grandpas can come over with your Aunt Gen."

"Yes!" He yelled and ran away.

I called James.

"Hello hello"

"Can y'all come over? The kids wanna play with Gen. And I miss y'all" I laughed.

"Absolutely." He said. "Be over in 10"

I hung up and sighed. Gen was 9 now. It's crazy. She's a person. Like with thoughts.

"Ow!" Linden screamed at Xavier. I got up.

"Woah! What happened?" I asked.

"He stepped on my hand!" Linden yelled.

"Let me see" I grabbed his hand. Which was perfectly fine. "Yeah we are gonna have to cut it off, crazy."

He giggled, "no see" he wiggled his fingers.

"See? You're fine. Xavier apologize for accidentally stepping on him"

"I'm sorry"

"And Linden apologize for yelling at your brother"

"No he was bad not me" linden looked at me.

"I understand that but we don't scream at people when they hurt us." I said. "If you don't apologize then I'll call Grandpa and tell him Gen doesn't need to come over and everyone gets to go inside and read."

"I'm sorry" he said quickly.

"Good. Go play."

"Let's have another" Oliver hugged me from behind.

"Even it out, shoot for another girl" I hummed against him.

"Or another boy." He said kissing my neck.

"Can we handle another?" I asked.

"I mean we have kept three alive so I think our streak is pretty good" he laughed.

"We only have 4 rooms. I'm sure the boys won't wanna share forever."

"We can add onto the house." He shrugged. "Let's have another baby"

"Maybe" I turned and kissed him. "James and Chris and Gen are coming over"

"Stop" Novalee yelled at Linden. Who was putting dirt in her pockets of her dress.

"Go get your son" I rolled my eyes.

"Linden Christopher! If that ass isn't in that chair in 3 seconds I'm gonna bust it." He yelled.

Linden ran for the porch chair and sat down. Novalee came over and pointed at her pockets.

"Bubbas mean huh" I bent down and helped her clean them out.

"Got dirt in pockets" she whined.

"Nuuh see? Momma got it out. Go play."

"I still think you're having an affair" Oliver said. I laughed. "Her blonde hair doesn't make much sense"

"You had blonde hair when you were a baby"

"Yeah til I was like.. 1"

"It'll darken." I kissed his cheek. "Little do you know"

"Oh please. You don't have time to cheat on me" he grabbed my waist and tickled me.

"No stop" I laughed and fell to the ground.

"Who's the best"

"Me" I laughed. "Help"

All my babies came over to help me and tackled Oliver off of me. I sighed and smiled as they all wrestled.

Content.

My babies and Oliver were my everything.
