Scout and Connor
Everyone settled around the table and the babies were put in the pen. There was a smaller table off to the side for the kids. "Hey squirt." Caroline kissed Noah's head. "I want you to eat everything on your plate okay?"
Abbey took a seat at the kids table. "I don't want to sit here." She sighed.
Food was passed around along with laughs and stories.Noah nodded and started to eat. "Where else would we sit?"
Melody didn't fill her entire plate; she kept it light. "With the adults." Abbey took a bite of her turkey.
"I don't know how we manage this every year with so many of us." Caroline giggled.
Alexis sat with the adults, sighing.
David didn't fill his plate but still had a lot. "It's a miracle there's even room. We can't add another person." Peter said.
"We're not old enough." Noah said. "Aunt Alexis was sitting her four years ago.
Melody bit her lip, looking at David. "There will be another person in the summer." Melody murmured.Kaya looked up. "What?"
Abbey shrugged and sipped her juice. "I'll be at the adult table before you will be."
David glanced between his plate, Melody, and Kaya.Peter watched everyone's reactions.
"Only by a year and the twins will be here before you leave." Noah told her.
"You're pregnant?" Jess piped up, then blushed, sitting back.Melody nodded, taking davids hand under the table. "Twelve weeks." She smiled.
"Yay yay yay." Caroline clapped, laughing.
"Oh my goodness!" Kaya beamed. "Congrats baby."
Abbey sighed and stuck her tongue out at im,
David smiled and squeezed her hand lightly."She told everyone the first night of her tour. It's a wonder yuh guys never found out." Peter said.
"Oh my gosh that's amazing!" Jason said.
Noah stuck his tongue back out then looked over to see what the adults were yelling about.
"Good thing you and dad aren't into social media all that much," Melody said to Kaya.Kaya grinned. "It's hard to decipher rumours from truth." She said.
"When are you due?" Jess asked, excited.
"June 6th." Melody smiled.
"It is hard to do that." David said."There are many rumours on social media." Peter said.
"Plus new technology is hard." Jason chuckled.
((I know someone with that birthday IRL))
Melody giggled and nibbled on her food, blushing a little."How did I not find this out? I'm like your biggest fan!" Jess laughed.
"Oh come on we're not that old baby." Kaya patted Jason's knee.
Alexis texted under the table. "Dinner has started. Melody is preggo." She went to Mike.
David continued to eat."I knew." Brandon said. "I didn't tell you cause I wanted you to find out on your own."
"Well that doesn't mean technology isn't hard." He said.
"My uncle just threatened to taser my cousins boyfriend. I should be able to get everyone to leave in an hour."
Mike tested back.
"What? You knew? And didn't tell me?" Jess smacked his leg under the table."How did you know?" Melody asked her brother while she took a bite of a dinner.
"That's true. I need twitter and Facebook though for my career." Kaya shrugged.
Alexis didn't reply. She put her phone under her leg and continued to eat.
"I thought I'd let you learn it on your own." Brandon told Jess. "I texted you the night you told everyone."He said to Melody."
"And you didn't see anything on them?" Jason asked Kaya.
"Oh! Right." Melody said. "Sorry; pregnancy brain." She giggled. "I hate you both," Jess joked.
Kaya shook her head. "I only communicate with my readers with them."
"You know you have your own hashtag?" Brandon asked Melody."Oh yeah." Jason nodded and continued to eat.
"It's been in the top three trendy tags for the past month." Brandon said.
"Again, I dont check that." Kaya shrugged.
"You really should branch out and learn about social media more." Brandon told Kaya.
"You need to eat your food." Kaya laughed, sticking his tongue out at him. Caroline left to get her medication.
"I'll save room for dessert." He smirked and continued eating.
Kaya giggled and also continued to eat."There's something I want to do after dinner," Melody told David while she scooped mashed potatoes into her mouth.
Caroline came back with two pills in her hands.
"What would that be?" David asked Melody as he cut his ham and glancing over at Finn.
"I want to take a picture of Finn in the bathtub upstairs because that's where he was born." She said. Jessica glanced at the babies playing.
"Sounds like a good idea. Will it become a tradition?"He asked her.
"We can try." She shrugged. Tomorrow was Christmas day and Finn's birthday.
"Last year was an interesting Christmas." He nodded.
She nodded. "Finn was a week early." She said. "It was a wonderful Christmas". Kaya said.
"Finn was a great Christmas present." He said. He looked over at Finn eating.
Melody smiled over at him too. "He really was." She said."Who's sleeping where mom?" Caroline asked.
"You and Peter in the basement, David and Mel in your old bedroom." She said.
"We switch each year so next year Peter and Care will be in your old room." David said."What about Jess and I, mom?" Brandon asked Kaya.
"Oh right." Kaya said. "Your old room." She said. "I'll set the kids up in the basement too on an air mattress; abbey and Noah at least."
"We have a crib for Finn." David said."We have one for the twins as well." Peter told them.
"Good." Kaya said. "I'm sorry it's so cramped with all of us. I mean this house was big when you were all little." She laughed.
"The numbers have kinda doubled since we were kids." Brandon chuckled.
"Only a little." She smirked. Shortly, people finished their dinner.
David brought his and Melody's plate over to the sink while Peter brought his and Caroline's over.
"Okay, David Peter, you two do the dishes." Kaya said. "The ladies will clean up the table." She stood up.
They both nodded and started the dishes. Jason and Brandon helped clear off the table:
Kaya and the girls cleared off the table and then put the leftovers into containers for tomorrow.
Brandon and Jason helped dry dishes after Peter and David washed them.
Melody ended up sitting down on the couch with Finn, not feeling too well. Caroline settled the twins in the dining room where she fed them some dinner.
The men finished the dishes. David sat next to Melody and Peter went to Caroline.
Melody smiled a little and rested her head on his shoulder. "Want to go take the photo?" She asked.
He nodded. "Yeah we can do it now." He said.
She nodded and picked up Finn while standing up.
((Notifications are being dumb again))
"I can carry Finn." He said to her.((They were just fine))
Peter carried Violet and went to put her in the play place.
Noah came upstairs and sat at the kids table.
