As soon as we got home Jess and Malti crashed, both having a quick nap before we went out later.

It been just over a week since Jess came into our lives and we couldnt be happier, and her and Malti literally complete eachother like I cannot picture what it wouldve been like having Malti as the oldest child and Jess without a younger sister.

I already know that Alena and Valentina are going to become best friends with Jess even if I'm sure it will be a bit awkward at first but I know that they will end up being really close

We were going to go drop Malti off at Pri's parents house at around 4:30 and go to pick up the pizza from there, luckily we were all already dressed to go iceskating so we could just chill in the meantime.

Pri and I were cuddling on the couch when Jess came down around 4:15, ready and joining us on  the couch sitting next to Pri in whats become her corner of the couch.

"You excited for tonight?" Pri asked her as she got her book out 

"Definitely, its probably better than just sitting down for dinner honestly like meeting kids when you dont have to entertain them is so much easier," Jess explained to us 

oh she was right getting kids to play when theres nothing entertaining is hard I'm glad Malti is so easy and Jess is at the age where she can entertain herself.

"Oh yeah entertaining young children is hard," I said laughing

"But Alena and Valentina always figure out something to do so you will never be bored around them" Pri added

"Oh by the way Kevin and Danielle know about the no posting you on social media, even if they do they will block you out of the photo," I said quickly, realising that theres a good chance Jess is exposed to the world tonight.

"Oh ok thats good, hopefully the people there are cool and don't say stuff about me but if it gets out then it gets out i guess," Jess responded looking down

"And if it does we'll ask the fans to respect your privacy, most of them have been good with the kids so its gonna be fine" Pri told her smiling encouragingly

Soon enough it was time to leave and Nick quickly went to get Malti and her things on the way out.

I had made peace with the fact that there was a good chance I was going to be known of by morning, even with everything Pri and Nick told me even if I didnt want it to happen, it was going to eventually.

The drive to Pri's parents house was like 20mins and then we'd pick up pizza on the way to the ice rink which was probably another 10mins back this way.

I love long sunset drives most of the time, it always reminds me of my family back home and I love it, knowing wherever I am they are seeing the same thing, it's kind of like the moon in that way just with the sun and the sky.

(a/n ok real reason why I love sunsets so much is because it reminds me of my grandma but in this fic shes still alive so I cant say that but anyway back to the story)

Once we got to her parents house I stayed in the car, Pri had told me earlier that her parents knew I wasnt ready just yet so I didnt have to meet them when we dropped Malti off

It was nice but I felt bad that what I told her the other day is making everyone take it slow with me, and Im really not a patient person so sometimes I feel like we should just get it over and done with but I cant do that just in case
