MY Yellow

Chap - 2

Olivia's pov

After two hours of practice, I finally called it a day and dismissed both the kids and adults.

My children and I were walking toward my car when I heard shouting behind us. I turned just in time to see Liam sprinting, then promptly tripping over his own legs.

"Look, Riv! Liam tripped!" Ocean giggled as she and River burst into laughter.

"Kids, don't laugh at someone who falls," I reminded them gently. They mumbled a little "sorry," which made me smile. Honestly, sometimes they're too adorable for their own good.

"Anyway," Leo, Liam's older brother, cut in, "Olivia, there's a party tonight hosted by some students. Ages seventeen to twenty-one. We're going. You should come with us."

"Guys, I'm twenty-two. And a mother of two," I said, eyebrow raised. "And aren't you all sixteen? Why are you even going?"

"Sooo, we're just one year younger," Liam shrugged. "Wait— you're twenty-two??"

"Yeah. I'm twenty-two. But how am I supposed to come? Where will the kids stay? They can't exactly tag along to a party." I glanced at my toddlers, now locked in a very intense game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.

"Old Lani will take care of us!" Ocean said.
Wait, I thought they wer—

"Yeah! We'll stay with Old Lani," River added with way too much excitement. "She bakes!!"

"See? Problem solved. You're coming," Adam, another one of the self-proclaimed geniuses, declared.

"But I'm literally one year older than twenty-one," I argued weakly.

"Oh, no one cares," Jacob waved off.
"Plus, you're hot," Luke blurted out before Harry smacked him. There's always that one normal child in the group, and for us, that's Harry, the designated Dad-friend who keeps these idiots alive.

"Fine, fine. I'll join you guys," I finally gave in.

They cheered like I'd just agreed to adopt all of them.

"Need a ride home?" I asked.
They all declined and took off.

After saying our goodbyes, we headed home. I closed the door behind us and turned to my children.

"What do I even wear?" I groaned.

TIME SKIP — 30 minutes before the party

"Don't you think it's... um... a bit too showy?" River asked, scanning me like a bouncer deciding whether to let me into my own house.

"Nooo, Mommy looks wowie!" Ocean squealed. Sometimes I genuinely wonder who the parent is here.

The front door opened, definitely the boys. They had an extra key. The twins exchanged a look and then stared at me.

"Mommy, hurry!" Ocean grabbed one hand while River grabbed the other, dragging me downstairs.

The moment I reached the last step, the boys just froze and stared.

"What?" I asked.

"You look hot, woman," Liam said, eyes wide. "If you weren't like a big sister to me, I would've hit on you."
Harry smacked the back of his head immediately.

"You can't hit my mommy!" River shouted, running up and kicking Liam's shin. I just smiled. Who needs an overprotective husband when you have a five-year-old superhero?

It's always been like this. I don't know if River understands everything I go through, but he's been protective since the moment he could talk. Both my kids have always been mature for their age. Once, when I got really sick, they went crying to Old Lani's house. She rushed over with food, and afterward, the kids stayed solemnly by my bedside, giving me water and medicine like tiny nurses. They didn't even let me move.

"Olivia!" Jacob snapped me out of my thoughts. "We have to go."

My kids already had their little backpacks, filled with clothes, toys, and treats, ready for their sleepover at Old Lani's.

I dropped them off.
"Okay, Old Lani, remember, they need to be in bed by eight. Please don't give them chocolates for dinner. And Ocean has a slight cold, so no ice cream, and, actually, I think this is a bad idea. I'm not going to the par-,"

Before I could finish, Luke and Liam grabbed me by the arms, dragging me out the door while Old Lani smiled sweetly and shut it behind me.
