Massive time skip..just a warning.
Ariella's POV:
6 years later...
"Mom! Milo has a spider!" Maeve screamed running down the steps.
"I'm joking May! It's not a spider!" Milo laughed following. I laughed shaking my head.
"Then what is it?" She snapped.
"It's a fake lizard." He laughed showing her.
"They are both reptiles." She said stepping back.
"It's not going to hurt you dummy. Just touch it." Milo rolled his eyes.
"No! Get that ugly thing away from me!" She snapped.
"You literally look exactly like it." Milo muttered. I snorted.
"Well, that's rude." She said crossing her arms in a sassy manner.
"Where did you even get that?" I asked laughing.
"I bought it online from your Amazon account." He shrugged.
I glared at him.
"What? It was literally open on your laptop. I couldn't stop myself." He said shrugging.
"Don't do that again." I told him.
"So what did you make?" Maeve asked sitting down.
"I made lasagna." I told them.
"You are the freaking best." Milo shouted. Both of them jumped and kissed my cheek.
"I try." I replied smiling. I started putting the plates on the table.
"Where's dad?" Maeve asked looking around.
"He is on his way with desert." I told them.
"It better be chocolate cake. I'm craving them." Maeve said nodding.
"You are craving chocolate cake? Did you start your period?" Milo asked.
"Dude I'm only 9." Maeve laughed.
"So? Puberty starts at 8 years old for girls." Milo stated shrugging. She stopped laughing.
Yeah, maybe it was too early to tell him about puberty.
"You're joking, right?" Maeve asked.
"Let's change the subject." I chuckled. Suddenly the door banged open.
"I knew you made lasagna. I could smell it through my window!" Toby exclaimed.
"You have some good sense of smel-"
"Oh fuck yes! I want lasagna." Maya shouted running in with vodka in hand.
"Bitch, pass the vodka! I need some." I said grabbing a cup.
"Pass me a cup too." Toby said. I threw him a cup.
"Mom, can we have apple juice?" Milo asked.
"Yeah and then can we pretend we are drunk like mom and aunt Maya?" Maeve whispered very loudly.
"Heck yeah!" Milo said and they fist bumped. Maya looked at me shocked.
"Wha- actually I'll just keep quiet." I said nodding and poured them apple juice. Elias walked in laughing.
"You do realise that the front door is wide open, right?" He said putting a box on the table. I looked at Maya with a raised eyebrow.
"What? I wanted food." She shrugged. Elias came over and pecked my lips.
