" Morning Lace." I hear Aaliyah say. Oh turn around and there she is with an awake Faith. Even though she doesn't quite look like she wants to be, since her head is on Aaliyah's shoulder and her arms are just kinda hanging there.
" Morning Liyah, and hey Faith." I respond. I call Aaliyah that because I felt like she needed a nickname. Faith looks at as if acknowledging that I said something to her and then goes back to just looking around.
" What have you been up to?" She asks sitting on the last stool.
" Well, me and Alayna were just having a very serious conversation about politics."
" That's........fun." She says giving me a weird look.
" Totally." I say, and poke her cheek which makes the weird look be replaced by a smile and a laugh.
" I'm hungry."
" So give me Faith and eat." She nods and gives me Faith and goes to find food. I set Faith down on the island and look at her. She smiles and me and giggles. She's awake now. I let her grab my necklace and play with it while I fix her hair. It's still really short but it's sticking up everywhere. After semi-fixing that I glance at the clock. It's 9. I'm never up this early. Children.
I am lost on thought about nothing in particular when Faith decides to scream in my ear and scare the living crap out of me. Aaliyah laughs at me and I glare at her. The kid can scream really loud. It's just then that I notice Alayna isn't in her seat.
" Liyah? Where's Alayna?" I ask.
" She said something about Shawn, then jumped down like 30 seconds ago." She answers and shoves another spoonful of cereal in her mouth. Just on cue I hear a loud "Alayna!" come from the living room. I sigh and put Faith in her high chair then wheel it out, next to Aaliyah.
" Watch her." I say then walk into the living room. Shawn is on his back flat out with his hand on his side and Alayna is getting ready to launch herself of the couch. My eyes widen and I run over just as she jumps and catch her right before she hits Shawn. Her feet swing down and hit him though. He groans again and puts his hand on that side.
" No jumping on Shawn!" I say and set her down. She smiles and laughs at me. I roll my eyes and point to the kitchen. She runs off in that direction. I look down at Shawn who has now sat up and is rubbing his side.
" You okay?" I ask sitting next to him.
" Yeah, I was wondering why she wasn't as heavy the second time." He says and sighs rubbing his eyes.
" Why didn't you tell her no?"
" Because the first time she jumped into me stomach and I lost my breath."
" Sorry bout that. I was playing with Faith and talking to Aaliyah, I didn't realize she got down."
" It's fine. I can handle it." He says and lifts up his shirt a little to look at his side. There is a big bruise there. "Oh that's fun."
" Jesus Shawn. How did that happen?".
" Well when her feet hit me, they were going quite fast and she hit my quite hard."
" Sorry?"
" It wasn't your fault."
" Well kinda, if I would have lifted her u-" He cuts me off by putting his hand over my mouth.
" It's not. Your fault." He says looking straight into my eyes. I sigh and nod and he removes his hand. I smile and stand up offering him my hand. He takes it and pulls himself up.
" Since you up, I need a shower."
" Your still wearing my sweater." He says and points to it.
" Yup......Now I'm getting in a shower."
" Alright." He says and kisses me on the cheek. I roll my eyes and walk past him and up the stairs. I get in the shower and do what I need to do then get out. I put my outfit on and did my hair. My outfit was a mint green tank top that was long in the back but showed a little stomach in the front and had a hand doing the peace sign in black on it. Then I had Black skinny jeans that are ripped. Under it all I had a mint green bikini on just in case. That's kinda my favorite color. For my hair I just fishtail braided it to the side. I also put on a necklace with a diamond pendant. I smile at myself in the mirror and then walk downstairs. They are all in the living room just sitting around talking and playing with the kids.
" Sissy!" Alayna yells jumping out of Shawn's lap and over to me. I smile and bend down picking her up. She gives me a hug which I return, then set her down and she runs straight back for Shawn.
" Hey guys." I say sitting in one of the chairs.
" Hey." They both say.
" Aren't you bored?" I ask. They nod. " Why don't we swim?"
" Because I don't want you to get stuck watching the kids. We'll go once the kids go to sleep for nap." Aaliyah says and I nod. We all sigh at once.
" I'm gonna draw. Be right back." I say going upstairs and grabbing my drawing stuff then coming back down. I sit at the table in the living room and grab my pencil thinking of what to draw.
" I didn't know you could draw." Shawn says. I look up at him and nod.
" She is pro, oh my god. It's beautiful." Aaliyah says. " You should see."
" Can I?" He asks setting Alayna down and coming to sit next to me.
" Uh, sure." I say and slide my book over to him. He smiles and take sit flipping through it. He makes little comments like 'wow' and 'that's amazing'. He stops and smiles widely at me when he sees the drawing of him. I smile back at him and he looks down at it. He starts tracing the lines of his face with his finger and I smile. " I'm guessing you like it?"
" Yeah. It's truly amazing. You should draw me again sometime." He says nudging me then continuing in the book. I chuckle and look at it with him. He stops at the drawing of my parents. He looks at me, then down at the paper. It is one of my best drawings. " Is this?"
" Yeah. It's them." I say.
" Wow, you look a lot like them."
" I get that a lot." (A/N: I don't know why, but during this part I was listening to a thousand years by Christina Perri and I just think it fits.....Idk)
" I would think that." He says and puts his arm around my waist. I smile and put my head on his shoulder and we continue to flip through it. The rest of the drawings are of animals, scenes, or just a while bunch of random things on one. Once we finish he shuts it and looks at me smiling. " Why didn't tell me you could draw?"
" It wasn't important? I dont know."
" How did Aaliyah know?"
" She took a shower in my room. She's very upset that she doesn't have one." I say and look over at her and she just sticks her tongue out at me. I laugh and look back at Shawn. He smiles at me and shakes his head.
" Good, she's to young to have one." He says.
" Hey!" Aaliyah says and we both laugh. It's quite fun teasing her.
