*Ariana's P.O.V*
The next thing I knew, is I woke up to a camera going off along with it's flash as well. I groaned in annoyance at that as I opened my eyes and looked over in the direction of where the camera went off at. But when I did I gave the culprit an annoyed look. While he just sheepishly smiled at me and continued to hold the camera toward Chris, Riley and me.
"Really Scott?" I asked sounding a little annoyed, because I hate being waken up from my sleep. Except if Riley is the one who's waking me up. I like being woken up by her cute little face.
"Morning sleepy head" Scott said with a little chuckle.
"What time is it?" I asked as I sat up a little and carefully removed Chris' arm from around me, thanks to him still being fast asleep.
"10:30. But sorry for waking you, I just couldn't pass up taking a picture of all three of you guys sleeping and cuddling with each other once I saw the scene" Scott said with an excited grin.
I gave Scott another annoyed look again but couldn't help but smile and chuckle a little at his expression.
"It's okay" I said as I smiled at Scott.
Scott smiled back at me. "Well you can go back to sleep, you aren't really missing anything thanks to everyone still probably sleeping away."
I chuckled at that a little. "Thanks for informing me about that Scotty."
"No problem" Scott said.
"But I think I'm good on the whole sleep thing" I said as I did a nice big stretch.
"Well I'm not." Scott let out a big yawn and rubbed his eyes. "So I'm going to try and get some more. So see you in about an hour or two."
"See ya" I said with a smile as I watched Scott walk out of my bedroom.
After Scott left, I did another big stretch and ran a hand through my hair before I looked back at Riley and Chris. I felt a big smile form on my face when I saw the cute sight of Riley snoozing away on Chris' chest while Chris had a protective arm wrapped around Riley as he snoozed away too.
I admired the sight for a little bit before I said down a little, leaned toward Chris and planted a soft kiss against his lips. Immediately after I did that I felt Chris smile against my lips as he kissed me back and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"This is certainly a nice thing to wake up too" Chris mumbled against my lips as he broke our kiss a little and pulled away from me a bit.
"Glad you liked it" I said with a little chuckle as I pulled away a bit more from Chris and smiled at him.
Chris smiled back at me before he sat up a little and pecked my lips.
"How was your other sleep?" Chris asked as he rubbed his thumb up and down my left side.
"Good, I feel refreshed now" I said as I laid back down and rested my head on his shoulder again.
"Good" Chris said with a smile in his voice as he kissed the top of my head.
I smiled at that as I nudged my head around a bit on his shoulder before burying my face into it. But as soon as I did that I heard Riley suck in a deep breath and then let out a big yawn.
When I heard that I looked up and smiled at Riley as she started to move around in Chris' arms and wake up.
Once Riley did wake up her big brown eyes landed on me and a huge smile spread across her face.
"Hi mommy" Riley said as she sat up on Chris' chest and rubbed the sleep away from her eyes.
"Hi baby" I said as I smiled at Riley before I let out a little chuckle after Riley flopped down onto my chest.
"Did you sleep okay, baby?" I asked as I hugged Riley closer to me.
"Mhm, and I cuddled with Chris too" Riley said as she looked up at me with an excited smile.
Chris and I both smile at Riley for that.
"I saw, is he your new your new cuddly buddy" I asked as I racked back some of Riley's crazy bed head with my fingers.
"Yes, but the both of you are cuddle buddies now" Riley said with a big smile before she gave me and Chris a big hug.
Me and Chris both let out little chuckles at that as we hugged Riley back. And as we did Chris didn't miss the chance of kissing my forehead over and over again. But I'm not complaining about it. I enjoyed every minute of it.
After the three of us got done hugging each other we got up and out of bed and walked out into the to get some breakfast.
But when we walked into the kitchen, we all saw Shawn, Grace, Brooke, my dad, Scott and Chris' parents all sitting around looking at picture. And from what I can see, they're pictures from when me, Shawn, Chris, Scott and all of our siblings were little.
"What are you guys doing?" Chris asked with a little smile as he walked over to his parents with Riley balanced on his hip.
"Oh, you know.....just looking back on found old memories of you guys" Lisa said with a smile as she held up a picture of me, Chris, and Scott when both me and Chris were about five and Scott was about three. We were all smiling at the camera nice and big as we held watermelon slices up towards the camera. And the picture is actually back from when we all first meet.
"Is that from when I think it's from?" Chris asked with a big smile as he took the picture from his mom and looked at it.
"What do you think?" Lisa asked with a big smile.
Chris and I both smile at Lisa before we looked down at the picture again. As I looked at it I thought back to the great memory of when I first meet my meatball of a best friend turned boyfriend.
*Flashback*
"Who's house is this daddy?" I asked as I looked at the big house Daddy is carrying me towards while I have my hands wrapped around his neck and held my favorite teddy in my hand.
"It's my friends house, that him and his family just moved into and they're having a house warming party today and we're invited to it" Daddy said as he looked at me with a big smile on his face. "And he has kids around your age so you'll be able to make some new friends to play with today while your brothers are being bad."
I giggled at that as I smiled at Daddy. Daddy smiled back at me and kissed my cheek before he carried me up the stairs and onto the porch with Mommy, Shawn and Andrew following us.
Daddy knocked on the door once we got onto the porch and a few minutes later a women with long brown/blondish hair and blue eyes wearing a pretty dark blue sun dress and black flats opened the door.
A big smile appeared on the women's face when she saw my parents, me and my siblings.
"Micheal! Riley!" The women shouted a bit in excitement as she pulled both mommy and daddy into a big hug. Thanks to Daddy still holding me, however, I got pulled into the hug as well. But I didn't mind. It was actually a nice hug. The women's probably a nice hugger.
"It's so good to see you again. Thanks for making it to the party" The women said with a big smile.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world Lisa" Mommy said as she smiled at the women. Or I guess her name is Lisa thanks to mommy saying her name? I guess?
The women, or Lisa, smiled back at Mommy before she looked at me, Shawn and Andrew and smiled at us.
"Are these the three lovely children you two were telling me about?" Lisa asked.
"Yep" Mommy and Daddy said at the same time making me and my older brothers smile at them.
"These two mischievous looking boys." Daddy messed up both Shawn and Andrew's hair, making them laugh a little as they fixed their hair after making Daddy stop messing it up. "Are Shawn and Andrew. Boys say hi to Lisa Evans. She's an old friend of mine and Mommy too."
"Hi Lisa" Shawn and Andrew said at the same time too as they smiled and waved to Lisa.
"Hello you two, nice to finally meet you two" Lisa said as she smiled and waved back to my brothers.
"And this little cutie here in the pink flowery dress, is mine and Riley's precious little girl Ariana" Daddy said as he looked down and smiled at me again before kissing my forehead a couple times making me giggle a little.
"Well you're certainly right about the cutie part. I may just have to steal her from you Riley thanks to how cute she is" Lisa said as she tickled my chin a little making me giggle and smile a little as I hid my face away into Daddy's neck making him, Mommy and Lisa all laugh a little.
"Yeah, not happening Lisa. She's my little girl and you already have two girls. You're not getting another one" Mommy said as she stood in front of me. Probably not wanting Lisa to take me.
Lisa chuckled at that and smiled at Mommy. "Don't worry, I was only kidding. And I would never steal another mother's child. No matter how cute or handsome he or she is."
Mommy and Daddy both chuckled at that before they and my brothers followed Lisa into her house, while Daddy continued to carry.
When we got into Daddy's house I smiled at how nice everything looked. Especially the flowers she had on the tables around the front door. We followed Lisa into the kitchen, where I saw a few people all gathered around talking to one another as they drank and ate some snacks.
"Bob? Micheal, Riley and their kids are here" I heard Lisa say before I saw her and a man a few inches taller then her walk back over to us.
"Hey Bob" Daddy said with a smile as he held his hand out to the man, or Bob.
"Hey Micheal, glad to see you and Riley made" Micheal said with a big smile as he and Daddy shook hands before he looked at me and my brothers and smiled at us. "And with your adorable children as well."
Shawn, Andrew and I all smiled back at Bob before we turned our attention to the back door/porch after we all heard laughter and screaming. I smiled when I saw about kids about my age and my brother's ages as well all playing around with each.
"You three can go outback and play with the other kids if you want too" Lisa said as she and Mommy smiled at us.
"Okay" Me and my brothers all said in unison as we smiled back at Mommy and Lisa.
"Come on Ariana, let's go play" Shawn said as he took me from Daddy and started to carry me out toward the back yard where all the kids are playing at.
Once we got outback Shawn set me down on my feet before we started to walk towards where the other kids to play with them. But as we started to walk to where the other kids are at I saw that they were playing football and tackling each other. And I don't want to get tackled because I'm afraid that I'll get hurt and cause a problem. So I stopped walking with my brothers and just stayed behind.
But Shawn and Andrew noticed that I stopped and looked back at me and gave me a concerned look.
"You okay little sis?" Andrew asked as he started to walk towards me.
"Mhm" I mumbled as I hugged my bear close to me.
"Why did you stop then?" Shawn asked.
"Because I don't want to play football" I said.
Shawn and Andrew looked at each other before looking back at me again.
"Do you want us to stay with you and play something else with you?" Andrew asked.
"No....you guys can go play, I'll do something else" I said.
"You sure?" Shawn asked as he and Andrew gave me an unsure look.
"Mhm" I mumbled as I nodded my head.
Shawn and Andrew looked at me with a mixture of concern/unsure before they nodded their heads at me and walked over to play with the other kids.
After they walked away I let out a little sigh and started to move the bottom of my shoe back and forth on the the pavement of the back porch as I thought about to do know. When I started to do that though I felt something hard, little a baseball, hit my arm.
"OW!!" I shouted a bit as I quickly took hold of my arm and held it in pain as I dropped my bear and felt tears form in my eyes thanks to how much that hurt.
"Oh my gosh" I heard a boy say before I heard footsteps start running towards me. I looked up at that and soon saw a boy about my age with brown hair and brown eyes running towards me with concern and guilt written all over his face as he wore a baseball glove.
"I'm so sorry" The boy said once he got over to me. "I didn't mean to hit you. I threw a baseball to fast and high for my brother to catch and I'm just really sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."
I just looked at the boy, not knowing what to do, as tears started to fall down my face before I sniffled a little and wiped a few tears away.
"It's okay" I said as I picked up both my bear and the boys baseball before handing the ball to him while hugging my bear close to me again.
"Are you sure?" The boy asked as he looked at me in concern while he took his ball from me.
I just nodded my head as I looked down at the ground and buried my face into the head of my teddy bear before groaning in pain when my arm started to hurt again.
"You're arm is hurting isn't it?" The boy asked.
I nodded my head again as more tears started to form in my eyes and fall down my face the more my arm hurt me.
"Come on, I'll get you an ice pack for it" The boy said as he took hold of my uninjured arm and started to gently pull me back into Lisa's house.
"Mommy?!" The boy shouted a bit as we walked over to the fridge in the kitchen.
"What is it, honey?" Lisa said as she walked over to me and the boy.
"Where are the ice packs?" The boy asked.
"Why?" Lisa.
"Because I accidentally hit this girl with a baseball and her arm hurts now" The boy said as he pointed to me.
"CHRISTOPHER ROBERT EVANS!!!!" Lisa shouted a bit with anger in her voice and in her eyes as well as she gave the boy a deathly look, making him jump a little and hide behind me a little. I giggled at that little. Even though I knew I shouldn't have.
"I didn't mean too hit here mom" The boy said sounding very afraid.
"He apologized for hitting me Lisa and even said it didn't mean to hit me too" I said.
"Are you sure?" Lisa asked.
"Mhm" I mumbled as I nodded my head with a little smile.
Lisa looked at me a bit unsure before she faintly smiled at both me and the boy, who I guess is her son.
"Okay, but if he hurts you again don't be afraid to tell me and I'll be sure talk to him again" Lisa said making me smile while I felt the boy get a little bit more scared behind me.
Lisa smiled back at me before handing me an ice pack after she grabbed one from the fridge. I thanked her for it before placing it on my injured arm.
"I'm sorry again for hurting you" The boy said.
"It's okay, accidents happen" I said as I smiled at the boy.
The boy smiled back at me before he extended his hand to me. "I'm Chris."
"Ariana" I said.
"Nice to meet you, Ariana" Chris said.
"Nice to meet you too, Chris" I said.
"Would you like to come and play with me?" Chris asked.
"Sure, just don't hit me with a baseball again" I said making us both laugh before we ran outside again to play.
