I will apologize in advance as this chapter may come off as a filler. And again, if you're here with second-gen, you're probably used to my stories being unedited but I'll apologize in advance as well.

Hesitating a little, I think I probably walked back and forth around four times.
Should I ask mom or just let it be? I thought to myself.
A long sigh escaped my lips, changing my mind once again. It was nothing anyway.
I was about to walk back to my room when I felt a hand on my wrist, stopping me from what I was about to do. I turned around and saw my brother. His brows furrowed. That familiar grim face he often shows whenever he disapproves of my action greeting before me so I pouted. He released my hand and messed up my hair instead.
"Stop thinking, just go for it," he stated before slightly pushing me towards where our mom is. He then went to the counter table and sat there with a book in his hand.
He's always like that. He doesn't like it when I doubt myself or even stop myself from expressing my thoughts.
So with a little motivation, I went to where our mother is.
"Mom, is it okay if I wear pants instead of a dress later?" I sat in the empty space near my Mom who was busy watching some music show in front of our television. Dad was not around, probably with my uncles and having a meeting over something.
I glance in my brother's direction when I saw him lifting his gaze towards a book he was reading. He probably heard what I asked and I saw him raise his eyebrow again. I smiled at him timidly.
"Wear whatever you want, Lou," he answered for Mom. I turned my attention to my mother and saw her smiling as well, her beautiful face mesmerizing me. She then turned the television and moved a bit so she can pull me in for a hug.
A soft smile escaped my lips.
I respect my mom a lot and look up to her so much. She treats me like a baby much like Dad is.
"Of course, honey. I'm sure no one will mind. Besides, my baby looks amazing whatever she wears," my cheeks blushed at what my Mom said.
My Mom is the exact opposite of me. She's very bubbly and has a lot of friends. I know for a fact that she is very popular not only because she is a celebrity but because her personality is just like that. Even Dad has a lot of friends. My brother, Xander, despite him being silent and intimidating, I know he knew a lot of people. But me? I'm just plain and boring Louise. I don't have friends outside our little celebrity offspring's circle.
Unlike Marigold and Zamara, I was never confident in presenting myself to people. I am okay with wearing anything they give me but sometimes, I just wanted to wear comfortable clothes. Atlantis is can simply pull off anything if she wants to. Elle's Mom, aunt Jen is also a known fashionista so naturally, she wears dresses that are very trendy. Irish is the same. She may be timid but she inherited uncle Hoseok's love for fashion. But to me, I don't feel so confident at all.
I love wearing dresses but I don't like wearing ones that are a bit seductive or alluring. I can wear them, of course, but if it's my liking, I like them plain and comfortable. There are moments when I can't help but force myself into wearing them because I don't want people to mock my mother. Though Mom and Dad never force me into anything, I just can't help it. Our parents, despite not being that active tends to be all over the news even today. Naturally, whatever we, their children do, affects their image. One of the things I admire about the other guys is their ability to brush things off.
"It's just a family gathering, baby. You can wear your jammies if you want to." She started brushing my hair and that made me feel at ease.
After a while, Mom had to leave because aunt Irene and she has to discuss something. I then went to my room after. I still have roughly three hours left so I decided to lie down on my bed and take a quick nap.
