YOUR POV

I've been in LA for 18 months. Turns out it was better for me here. Me and Carina tried long distance for a while but it just wasn't working. Apparently Andrew walked in on her and Owen too so I guess there's that. Andrew moved all my stuff into his spare room for if I go back to Seattle.

- Charlotte : Cooper no. It's your turn to stay home with the girls when they're sick. I did it last time. No- Fine. Egh I swear to God, that man

- y/n : The girls are sick?

- Charlotte : Caroline and Rachel are. Georgia doesn't want to be sick but the school sent them all home. Now I've got to go pick Georgia up so she doesn't have a fit-

- y/n : I can go. She's what? Five? Amy's kids were that age when I last saw them. Shittt, they're 7 soon. I need to send presents.

- Charlotte : Are you sure?

- y/n : Of course. I'll grab the car seat from your car

I babysit for most of the "adults" I know I'm an adult too but it's just they all go out drinking so I look after Henry, Mason, Georgia, Rachel and Caroline. The others get babysitters because over five kids is "too much." Honestly it's not too bad. I have two spare rooms at mine so the boys take one and the girls take the other.

- Cooper : Hey. Y/n. Where's Charlotte?

- y/n : I offered to come pick Georgia up because Charlotte is busy

- Cooper : Thank you so much. Here's her bag. GEORGIA?

- Georgia : Yeah- AUNTIE Y/N

- y/n : You've gotten taller

- Georgia : You saw me last week though

- y/n : Yeah, and? You need to stop growing. Let's get you in the car

- Cooper : Be good Georgia

I've put the car seat in the front because it's not very often the triplets get to go in the front. Normally Mason does or if they're all going out then Cooper and Charlotte are in the front.

- y/n : So kid.Where do you want to stop for lunch?

- Georgia : Maybe McDonalds?

- y/n : McDonalds it is. How are your sisters?

- Georgia : Caroline threw up at school so Rachel took her to the nurse then Rachel threw up so we all had to come home but I didn't want to get sick so Daddy called Mommy and now you picked me up

- y/n : Well I've done all my surgeries so we can go sit in my office if we go through the drive through. It means we don't make my car stinky

- Georgia : Auntie y/n? Will you ever have a husband and children?

- y/n : I thought one day that I would get married to a man but it turns out I like women a bit more then I like men so if I get married I'll have a wife

I've talked about liking girls around the kids but none of them have really asked. Mason understands it and Henry is sort of oblivious to it. The girls just always though I was talking about friends I guess.

- Georgia : Is there a lady you want to marry?

- y/n : There was but she didn't want to get married and she lives a long long away

- Georgia : Do you still love her? If you still love her then you should make her marry you

- y/n : It doesn't work that way kid. We can't make people marry us. Marriage is a two way agreement

- Radio : A new virus is sweeping its way through Eastern Europe. Hundreds of thousands of people are being taken ill with the new COVID-19. Thousands are dyin-

- Georgia : Auntie y/n? What did the radio man mean by people are dying from Europe

- y/n : Come on baby. Let's go see your Mom

Fuck shut. Fuckity shit. Asswipe. I've got to get to Seattle. Amelia is going to need help. I've seen documentaries about the Bubonic Plague and how they could've isolated. Amy can't be too isolated or she'll want to do drugs.

- y/n : Heyyy Char. Have you seen the news? Course you have. I need to get on a plane to Seattle. Is that okay?

- Charlotte : I've already booked it. You leave at 11 tonight. Say goodbye to Addison before you go, we aren't sure when we'll never all be able to meet up if this virus gets here

- Georgia : Mommy? What virus?

- Charlotte : It's the flu Georgia. Lots of people are getting the flu

- y/n : Thank you so much for the job here. you quite literally saved my life

Okay. Addison then home to pack. Shitttt. I'll text Amy when I get there or I'll just turn up. I don't know I just need to get to Seattle for however long this COVID-19 business will last.

- Addison : Hey y/n. You seen the-

- y/n : I'm going back to Seattle because if we get locked down Amy isn't going to be able to cope

- Addison : Yeah. I understand. When are you leaving?

- y/n : Charlotte booked my flight. I leave at 11 tonight

- Addison : Go home. Pack the important things. It won't be long I don't think

Looks like I'm going back to Seattle. Where my sisters fiancé hates me, my ex is sleeping with god knows how many people from the hospital and my best friend has a one and a half year old daughter. Great
