"Lex! I'm leaving! I'll be back for dinner." Seth shouts over the tv from the door as I stand, making breakfast in the kitchen. "Bye! I love you!" I shout back and flip the last pancake onto the plate. "I love you too!" He screams before closing the door behind him. "Loves, please turn off the tv and come eat." I tell Olive, Hope and Spencer, who are laying on the couch watching cartoons. "Okay mommy!" Spencer smiles and presses the off button. Those three are very smart for two and three years old. "I'm going to make sure the big kids are getting up." I say, widening my eyes at big and they giggle. I flash up the stairs and into Emily and Jaden's room. "You almost ready?" I ask, watching them brush their teeth. "Will you do our hair?" Emily asks in her kindergarten voice a I smile. "Sure thing kiddo." I smile and braid her hair into two Dutch braids. "Jadey, same thing?" I ask and she nods. Emily is in kindergarten and the twins and Max are in first grade. "Okay, I'm going to check in the boys, put on your shoes and go eat! We have ten minutes before we have to leave." I say and give them both a kiss. I flash into the boys room, where they are putting on their shoes. "Did you even brush your hair?" I ask taking in the mess. "No... But we brushed our teeth!" John says and I laugh. I brush their hair and push them out the door, turning off their lights. "Go eat." I laugh and John swings Max on his back then flashes downstairs. I laugh and poke my head into my room where the triplets are sleeping and the clock reads 6:45. I carefully place the sleeping triplets on my bed and change them into white onesies with their names on them in blue for the boys and pink for Sophie. I put socks on them and a pink headband on Sophie. I put them in their car seats ever more carefully, to my surprise, none of them wake up. "Okay kiddos, grab your bags and lunches, and get in the car!" I exclaim and they laugh before doing so. I grab my purse and the baby bag and throw them in the trunk before buckling the triplets into the car and pulling out of the driveway. "Momma, can I have a play date with my gym friends?" Jaden asks. "Maybe this weekend." I smile and she smiles back, content for the moment. "If Jaden can have friends over, can I have friends from baseball over?" John begs, Max making puppy dog eyes. "IF Jaden has friends over you can too." I agree and he cheers. I pull up to the car line and unlock the doors. "Have a good day! I'll see you when you're done!" I say and the respond with 'I love you' and 'bye mommy's. I pull out and start to drive down the road. "Ladies, baby boy 1&2, how about we stop at the grocery store?" I suggest. "Yes! I want to go!" Hope shouts and I shh her, but laugh. "Okay! Let's go!" I shout back in a whisper and turn the car off before grabbing my purse and unlocking the car. I slide the door open to the van and I unbuckle Spencer, then Olive, and Hope last because she has the least obedience to wait by the car door. "Stand against the door okay?" I ask and they nod. "Okay mommy!" Spencer says and lays flat against the door. I grab the closest cart and manage to fit all three of the babies car seats in the cart. I close the door and lock the car before grabbing Hope and Olive's hands. "Spenc, hold onto Mommy's purse." I say and give her a kiss on the head as she does so. We cross the street and enter the cold store. "Alright, to the produce ladies!" I say and lead them over. "Strawberries or raspberries." I ask. "Strawberries!" Hope and Spencer scream. I laugh, considering it is 7:30 in the morning and the only people here are mothers. "Can I put it in the cart!" Olive exclaims and I laugh before lifting her up so she can place them into the cart. "Hey Lex!" I hear someone call from behind me. I turn around to see Alice and Rosalie. "What are you doing here!" I call and they laugh, looking innocent. "What, everyone needs food." Rose winks. "So you drove an hour to get groceries?" I ask and Alice nods. "That isn't even a little bit believable." I say and they laugh. "Okay, so what if we missed you?" Alice says. "It's been like 18 hours." I respond and raise my eyebrows. "Well forks is boring without you!" She responds and I laugh. "Okay okay, I believe you!" I give up and she laughs, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Auntie Alice!" Spencer exclaims and jumps into her arms. "Hello baby Spenc!" she gushes and Spencer gives her a huge hug. I laugh and continue to push the cart, throwing random things into the cart. "So, how has your first day back been?" Alice asks and I giggle. "What!" She asks, confused. "My day, has been going on for like four hours." I smirk and she grimaces. "You know you missed me." Alice grins and I laugh. "Yes Alice, how ever will I survive without you everywhere." I joke and she smacks my arm. "How about Rose and I take you to lunch?" She suggests and I smile. "Sure Alice." I agree and she bounces Spencer up and down and makes her clap. We finish shopping and return to my house, where breakfast is still scattered around and toys are thrown about. "What a mess!" Rose jokes and I grimace. "You try living with eleven kids!" I say and Alice looks at me crooked. "Eleven?" She say and looks from my stomach back to my face. "Oh god no! I was referring to my child of a husband!" I breathe out and laugh. "We never know with you!" Rose sighs. "True, maybe I just lied to you and I am having a baby, maybe not. Guess you'll never know." I lead them on and Alice frowns. "You better tell me the truth Alexa Alice Clearwater!" She exclaims and I just shrug before flashing into the kitchen and cleaning everything up. I load the dish washer and turn around to see Alice leaning her head against my stomach. "Alice! What are you doing!" I shout, recovering from my heart attack from the surprise. "Sorry I scared you, I was trying to listen to baby 11's heartbeat." She says and I laugh. "Alice! I would tell you if I was pregnant!" I exclaim and she smacks my arm again before going into the living room. "You got me all excited too!" Rose sighs and I laugh. "Here, enjoy one of the three newborn children sleeping in this here Pac n' Play." I grin and hand her Sophie. "Touché." She murmurs and snuggles my baby.
