The thirteenth came along and in several different dimensions I'm eighteen- in naomi's im thirty eight. And quite possibly in another I'm twenty five with a seven year old girl and another along the way- but let's ignore the conversations on alternative dimensions and just get to the point I'm an adult wooo- and now I just have to pass this school year, then me and am are off to college. Sitting in my bed so damn tired on this boring Sunday morning at '9:45' the doorbell rings

"I'll get it!"

I shout out to vee as I ride the handrail down the stairs, opening the door the mailman hands me a fairly large box

"Are you.. miss luz noceda?"

Nodding he hands me the weird machine to sign off the box to me, writing my signature neatly in cursive he walks to his truck. Shutting the door behind me I rejoin amity upstairs, scooting my laptop back to press lightly against the wall. Flipping open my spring assisted knife I get this weird neverending rush as it loudly clicks open- I don't know why but I always categorized it as happiness that it hasn't rusted shut. Cutting the tape I slip open the box, not remembering what I'd recently bought online. Pulling back the opaque thin white foam I reveal the dark shining face of an XPpen artist 22 pro, shoving myself away from the desk on the gaming chair and find myself on the other side of the room. Scooting the chair awkwardly across the wood floor I pull out the rest for my keyboard I never use and place the XPpen onto it, setting the empty box beside my scrapped art bin I swap the places of my laptop and the XPpen. Leaning over my shoulder amity asks quietly

"What's that?"

Smiling gently I lean my head back and pull hers down to surprise her with a kiss, turning my chair to face her I pull her into my lap. Turning to face the desk again I say happily

"My art tablet that I forgot I ordered"

Leaning against me her hands rest on my neck, setting up the display I plug it into the outlet no more than a foot in front of me. Downloading all the software onto it I go to install all the suggested art apps to figure out what is better, soon realizing that I'd took art too much as my piece turns more and more realistic I chuckle and decided to make a sort of 'family photo' with vee, maya, moms, and my happy group of three all in one. Setting the finished artwork as my wallpaper small footsteps run upstairs, turning to see rose run into the room with a paper airplane I catch her and pull her also into my lap- more amity's than mine. Gently lowering the chair to it's lowest point I hug them close

"I love you two so much"

I murmur lovingly as they both lean further into me, resting my head ontop amity's I close my eyes. Patting my shoulder I look at rose with a smile,

"Can we go to the park todαy mami?"

Chuckling softly I kiss her forehead and say

"Sure.. then we can go to the beach to collect sea shells"

Amity looks at me with a grin, nuzzling my neck she says quietly

"Maybe you can go get icecream too.. you need to be out of the house for awhile babe"

Rolling my eyes playfully I say in a whisper against her neck

" I know it's my birthday buttercup.. I promise I'll stay at least five hours outside the house"

Jumping off rose squeals and demands happily

"Now mami, NOW!"

amity blows me a kiss from the doorway as I stand up and pick rose up with ease, pressing the kiss to my lips with my thumb amity smiles then disappears downstairs. Walking to the garage I set rose in her carseat, and buckle her up. Saying in a singsong voice
