Sooooo this is a super cute chapter especially young marco who's adorable.

Also you might need to imagine a more childish version of what they are saying because they are so young, I didn't want to write what they say babyish though so it might come across as a little advanced but at this point they aren't advanced.



10 years ago



"Jamie Jamie" a 4 year old little girl shouted as she collided with her brother.
James laughed and hugged her. The two siblings were currently playing with their toys in the nursery. Alex had gotten into trouble for starting a fight at preschool so he was currently listening to Rafael explain why fighting was wrong.

They were suppose to go to a birthday party next week and they hoped their father would still let them go.

They heard argueing from the hallway so they both decided to go see what was going on. They walked out of the room and saw Nico and Marco complaining to Lorenzo about a toy. Nico had taken it from Marco without asking and Marco wasn't happy.

Lorenzo was never one to get involved in his siblings arguements but his parents were busy so they had come to him.

"Not in front of them, go figure it out yourself" he finally said looking over at his youngest siblings.

Marco smiled as he turned. He quickly went over and took Skye's hand. He was only 8 years old so he wasn't about to carry Skye as much as he wanted too. He did give her piggyback rides often though. "Come on Skye I want to show you the drawing I did in school" he said cheerily as he pulled her along with excitement. He couldn't wait to show her the drawing.

At the same time Nico turned to James "come play with me, look I have Marcos toy" he exclaimed showing James the toy, James happily nodded.

Despite the 3 four year olds being practically inseparable, there was times like this where they would go off by themselves or with their other siblings.

Lorenzo was going to go to his room when he heard Alex.
"How did it go" Lorenzo asked smiling at his favourite sibling. He tried not to play favourites but Alex with a mini version of himself.

"I can still go to the party" Alex declared smiling. He was excited to go.

"That's good" Lorenzo said

"Can we go play" Alex asked.

"How could I say no to you" Lorenzo said and opted to pick up Alex.

He carried Alex down the hallway and back to the nursery.

Alex laughed as Lorenzo purposely swayed him from side to side. "I'm telling if you drop me" Alex said.

Lorenzo smiled and then faked dropping him. It caused Alex to glare "your not my favourite anymore" he said folding his arms.

Lorenzo laughed. He knew that the triplets all favoured each other. For Alexander his favourites were James and Skye and then Lorenzo.

"Oh no I guess I'll go back to my room then Lorenzo said pretending to leave.

"No. No. Stay. I'm sorry" Alex said. Lorenzo laughed and turned back around, he made himself comfy sitting crossed legged on the floor whilst Alex went and got his toy cars. Alex then made himself comfy on Lorenzo and used his shoulders and arms as a road for the cars, he would fly them off Lorenzos shoulders.


Meanwhile

Nico and James were in Nico's room playing with Marcos toy. Soon enough they got bored and Nico decided to play superheroes. He was big into superheroes at the moment so they grabbed different action figures, James was the villian and Nico the hero. After a while they ditched the action figures and pretended to be a hero and a villian themselves. James was laughing as they threw cushions at each other, the cushions had become the weapon of choice.  Soon they found themselves in the backyard running about or at least attempting, they both laughed so much that they often forgot what they were actually doing. They even started to include the swings and slide into  their game which was probably alot of nonsense by now.

Meanwhile

"Do you like my drawing Skye" Marco asked hoping she liked it.
Skye nodded "it's pretty" she complimented.

It was just like any other 8 year olds drawing, it was a bunch of colours and scribbles with stick people and a sunshine in the corner of the page.

Marco hugged her in response "I'm glad you think so. Wait let's draw together" he declared getting his colouring pens out.

The two siblings drew on the same paper, Skye's was mostly weird scribble and Marco did his best to keep it neat. In the end the picture showed two  stick figures, a boy holding hands with a little girl. There was a sunshine and flowers and birds in the background.

"It's us" Skye declared.

Marco nodded "it is, why don't you try write your name" he suggested.

The triplets had recently started to learn to write their name.

"Help me" Skye said.

Marco nodded and sat Skye on his lap, helped her hold the pen and guided it across the page helping her spell out her name.

Not long later Skye started falling asleep clung to Marco. Marco yawned himself.

The 8 year old boy nudged Skye to stay awake and nudged her to get up. He then took her hand and led her to his bed. He got himself comfy and Skye once she saw her older brother was done she nuzzled her head into his chest " jamie and Alex are my favourite but your my next favourite" she whispered holding up four fingers instead of three.

Marco smiled "you'll always be my favourite" he told her holding up one finger.
