"Sure you will." He says with a laugh.
We put on the show and get onto my bean bag chair. It's really big and soft and we both fit. It's a little snug but we don't care. It's cold in here anyway and the blanket is too far.
"See the police dog?"
"Yeah."
"He's Chase. That's me."
"Kk! Who's the pink one?"
"That's Skye."
(I did my research back off)
"I'll be her!"
Turns out the show isn't bad. It's almost as good as Sofia. Almost.
We hear a knock on the door.
"Come in!" We say at the same time and laugh.
My mom opens the door and stops.
"You guys are so cute! Smile for the camera! You'll thank me later." We smile as we both know we don't have a choice. "Dinner is ready kids, let's go."
We leave the room and head towards the dining room where everyone is sitting. There's a 'kids table' that the two of us sit at. Our moms take more pictures.
Literally all the Lombardi men:
This boy better not hurt my princess. Cuddling and now a private table. What's next, a marriage proposal?!
The ladies:
Awwwwwwww.
Alina's POV:
"Nonna and Aunty E make the best food!"
"I know right! Grandma makes the best pumpkin bread on Thanksgiving. You have to try it!"
"That sounds so good!"
"It is! So did you like the show?"
"Yes! But Sofia is pretty good too. We're watching it next."
"Do I have to?"
"Yup." I say, popping the p.
"Do you think they'll let us stay up until midnight?"
"I want to! We're big kids, we can do it."
"Yeah!"
"Mommy!"
"Mom!"
We say at the same time.
"Yes darlings?" They say.
"Can me and Grey stay up until midnight with you guys?"
"Please!"
"Pretty please!?" I give what Tao calls my 'puppy dog eyes' to the grown ups table. I see their eyes soften. Ha, works every time.
"If you can stay awake." Daddy says.
"We can do it! Right Allie?"
"Yeah!"
"We'll load up on desserts to stay up." Grey whispers in my ear.
"Smart! But I was going to do that anyway." I whisper back with a little giggle.
45 minutes later...
"Whoa, whoa guys."
"I think you've had enough dessert."
"Slow down darling."
"Calm down the dessert's not gonna run away."
Grey and I slowly turn to face Enzo. I stuff another cookie into my mouth. My hands and face are probably covered in dessert as Grey's is too.
"Enzo, no."
"Not cool dude." Grey says.
Enzo just sighs.
"Thank god I'm not the ones putting them too bed." He mutters under his breath.
A short time later...
"PARTYYYYY!"
"WOOOOOOOO!"
Grey and I have been running and jumping all over the place. I just have so much energy!
"Kids! Please calm down!"
"NOPE!"
A few hours later...
"I'm tired Grey!" I say with a yawn.
"Me too but we have to prove them wrong!"
"10 minutes to 2023!" Lulu yells.
"We're so close!" I say.
A few minutes later...
"10!"
"9!"
"8!"
"7!"
"6!"
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
All the couples kiss, gross, and then, Grey kisses my cheek.
"Happy new year Allie."
The Lombardi men:
Oh fuck no.
