-- 15 years later --
I turned off the lights downstairs and walked slowly upstairs.
It was almost eleven so everybody should either be asleep or about to.
I walked into the first room on the right and saw Benji sitting at his desk with a notebook in front of him, writing something.
"What are you doing?" I asked softly and walked up behind him.
"Homework." He answered simply.
I sighed. "Benjamin..."
"Relax mami, it's for next week. I need to finish it if I'm supposed to go to that soccer tournament." He said and smiled up at me before looking back down.
"As much as I love that you take soccer seriously," I reached over and shut his book. "But it's bedtime. You can finish it tomorrow."
He groaned and turned around to face me. "Mami."
"Bed, now." I smiled and kissed his forehead. "Love you."
"Love you too." He said and stood up and went to bed.
Before I left the room, I took it in. The soccer balls, the trophies in the shelf along with the 16 photo albums.
Benjamin Rafi Hansen-Herrera.
"Sweet dreams." I whispered before turning off the lights and shutting the door halfway, leaving some light to shine in.
I entered the room opposite Benji's and noticed the guitar and other instruments, all the notebooks with lyrics in the shelf and the 14 photo albums.
Christopher Lucas Hansen-Herrera.
He was sitting by the desk, with headphones on, doing something on the computer. Probably mixing music.
While Benji got my sports and workout genes, Chris definitely got Dinah's music genes.
I walked up behind him and raised the headphones off one of his ears. "Did Benji let you use his computer?" I whispered in his ear and he jumped up.
"Holy- mami!" He yelled. "You scared me."
"Shut it, your siblings might be asleep." I pointed to him and went over to the computer. Yup, he was mixing something.
"Benji let me have it." He said from behind me.
"I know, I was just joking." I smiled at him. "Can I listen?"
"It's not ready yet." He said. "You can when it's ready."
"Fine. Do you want to save it before I shut if off?" He nodded and saved it. I then shut the lid. "Brush your teeth?"
He nodded. "Yeah, I did it when Benji did."
"Okay good, now go to bed." He rolled his eyes. "Hey, don't roll your eyes at me. Bed."
"Fine." He sighed and went under the covers. "I'm not tired though."
"And I don't care. You have school." I kissed his head and ruffled his hair. "I love you Chris."
"I love you too." He smiled and turned over under the covers.
I turned off the lights then went into the hallway. Now everyone should be asleep in the rest of the rooms.
I quietly opened the door to the room besides Benji's room and sighed. "Guys, you're supposed to be asleep."
I looked at two of my sons who looked back at me like they've been caught shoplifting.
I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow. I slowly walked over to them and grabbed the iPad off AJ's lap. "I'll be taking this."
"But we were playing." Josh argued.
AJ elbowed him in the arm. "Sorry mami."
"It's okay. Just go to sleep. Did you brush your teeth?"
"Yeah." They both nodded.
"Good. Josh, come here." He got out of the bed and AJ pulled the covers back over himself. I kissed his head. "Night AJ. Love you."
"Love you too mami." He whispered and I turned around and grabbed Josh's hand.
When I turned around, I noticed the shelf filled with books about everything and nothing along with 11 photo albums.
Adrian Jake Hansen-Herrera.
I turned off the lights and tugged Josh to the room opposite us.
When we entered, I almost fell over cords on the floor.
Josh laughed and I pointed to the bed. He stopped laughing and went under the covers.
I sat down on the edge of his bed and pulled the covers more over him.
"Can't I keep playing for ten more minutes?" He asked and yawned.
"You can play your video games tomorrow, okay? You're tired."
"I'm not." He countered.
"Yes you are." I kissed his forehead. "Go to sleep Josh. I love you." I whispered.
He wrapped his arms around me. "I love you too mami." He whispered back. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him too before hearing his breathing even out.
I carefully unwrapped his arms from me and stood up from the bed and saw Benji's old TV he gave to him and Dinah's old playstation. The controllers were in the shelf under the 8 photo albums.
Joshua Gael Hansen-Herrera.
I quietly made my way out of the room, turning off the lights on the way.
I then went into the room besides Josh's and finally saw a child asleep in bed.
I smiled and sat down on his bed, brushing hair out of his face.
He shuffled slightly and groaned softly. "Mami?" He whispered groggily.
"Did mommy put you to sleep?" I whispered and he nodded lightly. I kissed his head. "Just keep sleeping Jamie. I love you."
He turned around in his bed. "I love you too..."
I stood up when I was sure he was asleep and came face to face with his brothers' old stuff and cat toys scattered around the room.
A torn soccer ball, ukulele, a few books and video games figurines were all on a shelf in his room under his five albums.
James Leo Hansen-Herrera.
I left his room and quietly opened the door to the last one.
There I saw my wife holding our sleeping daughter.
"Hey." She whispered and smiled at me.
"Hey." I whispered and walked quietly over to her and peaked at our daughter. "How long has she been asleep?"
"Not that long." Dinah whispered and stood up from the chair and walked over to Bela's crib. She carefully placed her down but she stirred a bit and whined. "Shh, Bela. Mommy loves you. And mami too." She soothed her and put the covers over her.
Bela settled down and sucked on her pacifier as she slept.
I turned around and bent down, grabbing a toy off the floor. I walked over to the toy box and put it in then stood up straight and saw the two albums there.
Isabela Marie Hansen-Herrera.
"You coming babe?" Dinah whispered. I nodded and followed her into our bedroom at the end of the hall.
We quickly changed into our pajamas and got into bed.
We also had photo albums. We had 12 of them. One for each wedding anniversary.
I turned on my side and faced my nightstand which had a photo of all of us.
"What are you looking at?" Dinah said and leaned over me.
"Our 'creations'" I chuckled.
"Oh." She said. "We can create more." I then felt her press kisses to my neck.
"Baby." I moaned softly. "Dinah, stop." I managed to turn around in her arms so she'd stop. "I'm 34 and I've given birth to six kids. And I wanna keep it that way."
"C'mon, don't act like we haven't had sex since Bela was born. I'll just be careful like I was all of those times." She said and pressed a soft kiss on my lips.
I tried resisting but her lips were just so addicting.
She was so addicting.
"Fine, but be quick. We have to wake up early and get the kids ready."
"Don't worry, I will." She kissed me again and pulled my pants down. "I love you."
"I love you too." I whispered and wrapped my arms around her neck.
