Caleb was finally walking. Oh my goodness. It was so cute. Getting my journal out, I wrote a new entry..

Dear Diary,

Mom has just told me something really personal. I feel confused.. but I feel strong enough to handle anything now. At least she told me. I won't have to face him in court or anything. I'm enjoying our vacation. We've made so many new memories. I feel safe. And loved. With my mom and dad, they always promise to look after me and my siblings. I'm going to continue with my art therapy too. I'm looking forward to meeting my new mentor when I head back to school. I'm also looking forward to see my two besties as well.💛xxx

As I closed my journal, I headed downstairs. "Oopsie!" My little brother bumped into me. "Ri.. ri." He touched my cheek as he sat down with me. "Ariel. What do you think is going on with our godfather?" I asked her to say more. "He was acting weird when I spoke to him on my birthday." I grinned. "I think he's got a new girlfriend.' Paige giggled. Caleb then decided to give us kisses. My phone then bleeped.

Hey. How's your vacation going? I'm just at home with my brother.😊

Jason.

Blushing, I instanly texted Ria.

Jason's just texted me! I don't know why I'm so nervous! I know we talk, but texting is completely different.😆😊😆😊

...

She then replied.

Think about this. You've been focusing on yourself for a while. He's the new guy in our class. He also thinks that you're cute. I forgot to tell you that. But, he likes you! That's super sweet. And someone may have asked me out too.😏

....

As I texted back, Mom and Dad came back inside. "Mom.. could we talk?" I smiled. "Is it about..?" I nodded. Heading upstairs with her, I told Paige to come with us. "Looks like it's me and you buddy." Caleb played with Dad as we went to have girl chat.

"He's texted her this Mommy." Mom then smiled. "He's just asking a simple question. You really like him don't you?" I sort of agreed. "Yes, but we're just friends." Texting him back, Paige asked what we would be doing on our last day which was tomorrow. "We may take a few photos for your brother's scrapbook." Paige asked if Mom had the scrapbook with her. "It's at home in his bedroom. I also needed your help with what we could do for his birthday." Paige offered a few simple ideas. "Well, he won't really know what's going on, so maybe a little gathering might sound cool." Mom then let Paige write a few ideas down. "We could maybe buy him some walking toys. I know he's done it, but maybe some toys could help him improve Mommy." My sister was adorable.

As we continued to chat, Mom asked both of us if we were still up for moving house when were all ready. 'Yes. It sounds cool." She then explained it would be because we've outgrown the apartment. "We just fancy some more space. Everything will still be close by though. You won't move schools. Caleb will still be at the same nursery." We then heard a knock on the bedroom door. "Come in." It was our two speical boys.😍

"Someone's a bit hungry." Elliot jiggled Caleb up and down. "You two are so close. It's so sweet." He then said Mama. "Yes sweetheart?" He asked for food. "Come on then. Let's see what's in your backpack." As she headed downstairs with him, Dad smiled at us. 'I've got a surprise for your mom." We squealed. "I'm going to put a care package together.. but I need your help to decide what we can put in it." I suggested some face masks, chocolates and a few gift cards." Paige suggested some spa vouchers. "Then she can have a day with Auntie Pheobe, Nina and Amanda." We high fived him. "You girls are good at this. Give me a hug." We hugged him as he kissed our foreheads. "I love you three so much."

As I gave my boy some food, I made his night time bottle. He looked like Elliot. He acted like me which was really lovely. "Momma. Yummy." I stroked his hair. Seeing him walk was amazing. He was becoming independent. Now, we had to toddler proof when we got home. "Would you like a big boy's bedroom one day baby?" He mumbled as I fed him a bit more. "Oom?" I agreed. "Yes Caleb. Big boy's room." He had a cheeky smile!🥰 His face had food all over it..😂 Taking my phone out, I snapped a couple of pics. "You're so sweet, cute and adorable. Sending the pics to a few family members, I got a text through from Nancy.

Hey Liv,
How are the kids and your vacation going?💛

Sending a picture of her messy grandson, I texted her back.

The vacation has been so lovely. The kids have loved it. Me and Elliot have loved it. We come back tomorrow. How are you and Charlie?🥰

....

That's so good to hear. Aw, the picture is lovely! Me and Charlie are great. We were thinking of coming to visit you once you were back. It'll be lovely to see you guys as we've all been so busy.

Sending her the video of Caleb taking his first steps, I headed upstairs with him. "I'm off to bed!" Paige and Ari kissed us goodnight. "I'll inform you about him tomorrow mom!" Dad popped his head out. "I need to be informed too!" All of us girls laughed. Dad was too funny.😆😆😆
