     Today is the day I get to Forks. I start school tomorrow so I'm gonna have to rush to get everyone settled in. Oh yeah I forgot to mention. I have four kids. Loretta is 4, Reese is 3, and the twins (Brynnlee and River) are newborns. I'll explain how I got them in due time. However, I have a plane to catch so it'll have to wait.

     When I get off the plane, I see Charlie waiting to help me with my bags and the kids. As I'm getting my bags off the carousel, he takes Loretta and Reese out to the van he rented in order to fit all of us. By the time I get outside, he's already gotten them strapped into their carseats. I strap the babies in as he puts our stuff in the trunk.

     As soon as we pull into the drive way, Jacob and Billy come out of the house. I used to FaceTime them all the time to watch the game with them. I'm really excited to finally be able to seem them in person.

"Billy, Jacob oh my god. I had no idea you were gonna be here," I said, laughing a little as I walked over to give Jacob and Billy a hug. "Lookin' good Billy," I say as I hug him.

"Well, I'm still dancin'," he says. "Glad you're finally here. Charlie hasn't shut up about it since he got the news. And we've all been dying to meet the kids"

"Well I'm happy we get to see each other in person after so many years of struggling with this new technology stuff," I say. "It always feels as if we haven't had a real, full conversation in centuries. And the kids are little devil spawns let me tell you. Especially the two that can walk and talk," I told him, laughing a little with him. As I say this, I walked over the the van and unstrapped the toddlers.

"Yeah, kids can be quite tough. I remember when you and Jake would make mud pies and throw them at each other," he said. "It didn't matter where you were or how nice the event was, if there was mud, you'd both be covered in it in three seconds flat."

"Yeah I remember. We used to get ass whoppings all the time for it," I said. "Anyway, these are my two oldest kids. Loretta is four and Reese is three."

While Billy, Jake, and Charlie are entertaining the kids and watching the babies that are still in their seats, I take my bags up to our new room. I see that Charlie has redecorated to accommodate me and the kids. I laugh a little as I look at the room. He remembered how much I love the country/western farmhouse look. Three of the walls are painted white while the furthest wall from the door is painted black. The bed has simple white bedding and a cow-print blanket on top. There's also a hug cow-print rug on the floor. Next to the bed, there is a twin size mattress on the floor. The girls are small enough to be able to share which I'm very thankful for right now.

Thankfully Charlie has an extra room in this tiny house that he turned into a nursery for the babies. That may have the master bedroom but it was still too small to fit all five of us, especially with the cribs. They are placed on either side of the room, directly across from each other. It is also decorated to fit my taste. They were decorated the same, but above the crib on the right, there was a sign that said Brynnlee. On the left there was a sign that said River.

As soon as I get done packing, I go downstairs to see that the guys have brought the kids in. While they're watching TV and eating dinner, I take the babies upstairs to breastfeed them. When I'm done, I get them washed and put to bed. By the time they're asleep, the girls have finished eating so I get them bathed and put to bed. Before I take my own shower I go through my list of things that needed to be done before tomorrow:

•unpack everything/get settled in ✅
•enroll Loretta into kindergarten ✅
•enroll Reese into daycare ✅
•notify the school that I will be bringing two newborns with me to class everyday ✅
•pump so that I don't have to run to the bathroom in the middle of class to feed the babies ✅

When I finish making sure everything is done, I take a shower and put on my pajamas. As I try to fall asleep, I think about how chaotic my life is going to be for the next year. Thank god I'm a senior.
