                      I put the last of our stuff in the trunk and climb in. "Ma-ma!" My three year old daughter,Bex, says.

                    "Yes baby?" I ask as I pull out if the drive way.

                      "I wan wisten to musuc ma-ma!" She says kicking her legs up.

                     "What do you say baby?" I ask,just as we stop at a red light.

                    "Pwease." She says. I quickly turn on the toddler station on Pandora. The wheels on the bus blasted through the speakers,causing both Eliza and I to shriek. We both have very sensitive ears. I turn it down only to hear Bex crying.

                                  "Bex,baby,shhhh" I can't pull the car over so just I turn it down and say things that I know calm her. Soon she calms down and sings alng to the end of wheels on the bus.

                      I opened the car door and grabbed a sleeping Bex. My mother and father came out of the house smiling.

                 As soon as my mother sees Bex she squeals and smiles. I smile back and close the door. My older brother,Caleb,comes out and grabs a bag from the trunk." No hi?" I say chuckling." I feel the love." He rolls his eyes at my statement.

                    "Heyyyyy." He says. I grin.

                     "Where is Angie and Ben?" I asked walking up the path leading to the front.

                   "They are inside with Max and Lola." He explains. I nod and step into my parents house.

                As soon as I stepped in I was almost tackled by a little Benjamin Prior."Aunty Tris!" He yelled. I stiffened. Oh no.

                A few minutes later Bex woke up and started wailing. I easily coax her back to sleep and sigh. When I look at everyone else they have these lopsided grins on their faces. My mother then decided it was my time for bed." Well you and that baby better get to bed." She rushes me to my old room.

                  "But...." She closed the door behind me. I sigh and go to bed.
