Lauren's pov.
" mama look how gas the car goes!!"
" wow buddy you know what would be cool "
" whaa" he asked
" we could make a ramp and see it fly though the air!!!"
" Ooooooohhhh Mama LETS MAKE A RAMP!"
Honestly this is one of the main reasons I like having a son, he loves remote controlled cars and is willing to crazy shit with them just like when me and Chris were little.
" come on let's go outside I have something we would use" he picked up the car and ran outside with Balto chasing after him.
His behavior lately has been getting better ever since he told me a 2 weeks ago how he felt Camila and I figured out a balance of how to keep both kids happy, as long as Percy had Balto with him at all times he doesn't really complain about being alone since the 2 of them can play for hours and hours and not get bored and Vi as long as she has naps she's good.
" MAMA COME ON!" I heard him yell and I ran outside and he was sitting on the grass.
" alight Percy let's get building!"
" Yay!!"
I went behind the house and I brought out a piece of ply wood I had for I don't know what reason but it's here and now I'm going to make a ramp.
" this is going to be the main ramp okay buddy" he nodded and I set the wood down and I looked around to see what I could prop it up on so our car can fly.
" ah a cooler" I opened up the shed and I pulled out the mini cooler I had for when I store my drinks for parties.
" we're going to lean the wood over this and then we can start playing" he nodded again and put his car down and watched me set up the ramp.
" Percy let me see the car" he gave me the remote and I drove it over to the middle and Sent it off and it went flying into Camila's flower bush.
" THATS WAS COOL MAMA!!"
" ha but mommy isn't going to be to happy we crashed into her flowers" he giggled
" you crashed not me"
" oh you getting smart there huh" little smart butt he gets that attitude from me...I love it
He laughed again and I handed him the remote and he drove it back to the ramp and let it fly again and again and again.
" LAUREN, PERCY WHAT HAPPED TO MY ROSES"
Shit I should have kept an eye out for her.
" MAMA DID IT" Percy yelled that little brat ratted me out.
" NO I DIDN'T HE DID IT TOO" he looked at me and we had an intent staring contest.
" I'll deal with you guys later Dinah and Normani want us to come over asap they didn't say why they just said come over they have something to show us" I nodded and So did Percy.
" Mommy can I bring my car?" He asked Camila.
" sure sweetie just don't break anything there" he nodded and picked him up.
" Ima get you back little man you ratted us out"
" mommy scary sometimes"
" yeah she is I think I'll give you a pass then" I kissed him and I walked out to Camila's car and I buckled up Percy while she buckled up vi.
" why do you think they are calling us" I asked.
" I don't know but they have been pretty
M. I . A for the past month....hmm do you think they are hiding something"
" knowing Dinah she would have told one of us by now so I highly doubt it"
We continued to question why all the sudden they call like I don't mind but not telling us the reason I'm questioning everything I know about them.
I pulled up to their house and I noticed Ally's car is here too but her and Will are still inside what the hell is going on.
I parked the car and we got the kids down and went to Ally's car and Will rolled down the window.
" why are you guys in the car" I asked
"They won't let us in, Dinah said no one is allowed in unless every one is here and by everyone we are waiting on you" Will said and I nodded
" well we're here let's see if we're allowed in" camila said and they got out of the car and brought down Jasmine and like every time Ally and Camila have the babies together they try and get them to recognize one another.
" Wave hi to your little cousin Jasmine " Ally said but she did nothing but open and closer her fist and my kid was just there she's only 2 and a half months so she's like a potato. Jasmine is 7 months so she's more active and responsive to things .
Will knocked on the door and Dinah quickly opened it.
" go straight to the living room and do not move a muscle" she said and let us in.
" so why have you called us all here " Ally asked
" well Normani and I have something very special to show all of you, I know we have been kinda on the down low for the past month but we have a great reason why"
" and that is" I asked.
" Guys I want you to meet the newest member of this giant family"
Mani walked out with a little boy in her arms and he looked terrified and held on to Normani for dear life.
" everyone this is Russell Jay Kordei-Hansen, our new son, he's 5 years old "
We all stared at him in awe and we had no reaction except Percy
He got up and walked to Normani and he looked up.
" hi I'm Percy" he said with a smile and Normani put Russell down and he stood in front on Normani.
"...I'm Russell" he said in a quite voice
" were cousins now and we're going to be best friends okay!" Percy said and I smiled at him obviously he get being so social from the queen herself My Camz.
"... okay" Russell smiled and then Percy handed him his RC car.
" we can play with this !" Percy said and turned on the car.
" Percy sweetie go take Russell to the hall way and you guys can play there for now okay" Normani said
" okay auntie Mani, come on Russell fallow me!" Percy took his hand and they walked out and We heard the car go off and the boys giggle.
" so wanna explain how you adopted a kid and kept this from us for a month" Camila asked
" actually we kept this from you for 6 months, we have just been getting the house ready for the last month" Dinah smiled
" you sneaky bastards" I said and both Ally and Camila hit me.
" so what made you want to adopt?" Will asked
" well seeing you guys with kids made us feel like we had so much love to give to someone but obviously we can't have kids and I didn't want to be artificially inseminated When there are so many kids out there looking for a place to call home, to call some one mom and dad but in our care mommy and mama" Normani said and I felt like my eyes were tearing up.
" that's beautiful Mani" I said wiping my eye
" yeah when we spent time looking we had it down to him and a little girl but they told us she was already being adopted but I personally felt more a connection with him since he kept fallowing us around and calling us pretty and wanted to play so we decided on Russ" Dinah said
" Well looks like Percy finally has another person to play with and by the sound of it the boys already like each other" Camila said and we all got up and checked on them.
" Russell look we can make a obstacle course and and we can drive the car threw it!"
" Heh okay, we can use our shoes and a pillow "
" ohhh YEAH, here take my shoes" Percy took his shoes off and so did Russell and we watched them have the time of their lives playing with the car.
" honestly I'm so happy Percy is such a social butterfly, I think he's making Russ feel more at home with us" Dinah said and hugged me and Camila.
" Well, were all here let's make some dinner and celebrate our new member of the family" Will said.
" yeah I can go to the store and get some steaks and chicken and we can fire up the barbecue" he continued
" Perfect, Ill make a quick Apple pie as well" Ally announced
" yes everyone go to the store Lauren you stay here with me and the kids" Dinah said and I nodded
" Here take Violet babe" Camila said and took her.
" yeah Dinah take Jasmine" Ally said and handed over Jasmine.
" we can take my car, Will you are driving" Camila said that they all left and it was just Dinah and I with 4 kids.
" Lauren can I tell you something?" I heard Dinah said.
" uh yeah go ahead"
" remember when you first found out about Percy?"
" heh yeah I stayed in my house for 2 days denying that he was mine until I realized that that kid is mine"
" did you feel overwhelmed about being a parent so young?"
" of course I did I mean I was barley 21, I was barley living my life, I felt like people all around me would judge me because I'm so young, yeah I had to leave my past life behind me and I had to grow up and take responsibility for my actions I needed to be there for my son"
She nodded her head and played with jasmines hands
" I'm scared...I'm scared of all the change that is going to happen"
" Dinah there's is nothing to be scared about, you have all of us to tell you out along the way and Russ is going to love it here....by the way how long has he been in the house"
" 3 days, here this I took this picture of him when we were about to take him home"
She pulled out her phone and showed me the most adorable photo ever
" awwwwww he's so cute and those eyes are killer, what is he a mix of?"
" on the birth certificate it said father was Italian with and mom was African American and this was the result of them, his eyes and hair are my favorite feature on him"
" speaking of the boys they are pretty quite what are they up too" I asked I didn't hear the car driving around anymore and they stopped laughing.
" oh shoot you are right" we got up and went to the hallway and it was the cutest thing ever, they made a bed on the floor with pillows and they were napping.
" yo photographer take a pictures then" Shifted Vi in my arms and I got out my phone and took a few pictures of the boys.
" so Dinah had he said he liked his new home yet"
" his words were "It's nice here" so Im assuming he likes it here... so do we just leave them here or move them"
" just leave them but wake them up in a hour"
She nodded her head and we put the girls in their car seats and we went outside to go start up the barbecue.
" hey where are the dogs?" I asked
" oh, they are probably sleeping on the side of the house, it's shady there and they like it"
" does Russell like them"
"Loves them especially Laker, she sleeps with him at night" I chuckled
" just like Percy and Balto, something about boys and dogs is like an unbreakable bond"
" true that"
" hey guys we're back!" I heard Mani yelled and we turned.
" where are the children" she asked
" the boys made a bed in the hallway they should be waking up now actually and the girls are in their car seats sleeping too" she nodded
" Oh Will is preparing all the food go help him you too"
" Kay boss" Dinah said and I laughed
We went back inside and the boys were up and with Camila, Ally and Normani.
We started to help Will with the food and the rest of the day we all had a real good time getting to know Russell a little more.
" I think we deserve a toast, to welcome Russell into this very different family, we might not be a traditional family every one has but the 5 of us are the closest sisters I've ever had and Will I still don't know how you put up with us but because of that you are like our brother" Normani said and we laughed
" Welsome to the family Russell, you are going to have the best life ever now" Dinah said and he smiled.
