Time- 5:30 AM

Aurora's POV:

I woke up early so I can get started on Ophelia's birthday party because she's having a pool/slumber party which people thought it's crazy for a pool party since it's November but it's Los Angeles so it's not that cold in the Fall. James is also up as well but he is sitting at the table working on a project that he's doing and we're so excited. We also have to pack for our trip to Paris for a convention for One Tree Hill tomorrow. The kids are going to be at the house but Jasmine and her cousin Cara are going to be watching them until we get back from the convention.

I'm currently in the kitchen cleaning the dishes since none of the kids decided to do them when they were supposed to. The kids also have school today and they're friends and the friends families are coming over after school gets out so James, the One Tree Hill cast and my family are going to come over to help set everything up for this party. I'm driving the kids to school today which should be fun since I never get to do and they take the bus depending on the day.

"So James, how's it going?" I asked him from the sink

"It's going good, I just need to talk to Stephen about some of these things" he replied to me

"Oh, you mean your boyfriend?" I teasingly asked

"Baby, you know" he responded back laughing

I walked over to him after finishing the dishes and sat on his lap in the chair, wrapping my arms around his neck peppering his face with kisses.

"Yes, baby?" He asked me wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Nothing, I can't just live on you?" I asked him with an innocent smile on my face.

"Yeah okay, Rory. I know how you work since we were kids" he said to me with a knowingly look

"Whatever James" I said to him jokingly, slapping his shoulder, smiling at him

"You know, I love you" he told me me giving me a kiss

"I love you too" I told him, kissing him back

I get off him and start walking upstairs to wake up the kids for school and breakfast.

*Time- 6:45 AM*

I knock on Mekai's door, opening it and I tell him to get up and if he isn't up by the time I get back from waking up Ophelia, Nico, and Veronica that I'm getting the water bucket.

"Get up, birthday girl!" I woke up Ophelia

"I'm getting up mom" she responded rubbing her eyes and stretching her arms

"I'm going to go wake up Nico and Veronica for school" I told her

"Okay, mom" she replied getting up

I walked into Nico's bedroom and gently woke him up.

"Baby wake up, it's time to get up" I said to him softly

"Okay" he replied pushing the covers off, giving me a hug good morning

"I love you mama" he said to me

"I love you too baby boy" I replied

"I'm going to go wake up Veronica now, okay" I said to him

"Okay, mama" he responded

I walked out of his room, making my way to Veronica's bedroom.

"Wake up Roni" I woke her up gently
