Starting Over

Chapter 88- Welcome to Louisville

"Momma! Daddy!" Bo and Tate screamed as they bounced onto the bed with me and Luke, "Wake up!"

"We're up!" Luke exclaimed as he sat up in the bed.

"Momma! Momma! Momma!" Tate yelled as he bounced on top of me before I had the chance to sit up.

"I'm awake baby," I told our son as I grabbed him and started tickling him.

"Momma! Stop!" Tate squealed barely audible through his fits of laughter.

"Then I'll get ya!" Luke exclaimed as Kenzie and Til came into the room.

"No Daddy!" Tate screamed, but that didn't stop Luke.

"I thought I told you two to let your Momma and Daddy sleep?" Megan asked Bo and Tate as she entered the room.

"It's ok, Meg," I said as I stopped tickling Tate and pulled him onto my lap.

"Are you sure?" Megan asked, "Ya'll have been sawing logs back here for hours."

"Maybe Luke was," I laughed, "He has a tendency to snore a lot."

"It was both of you. I promise you that," Megan said as I sneezed.

"Bless you, Momma," Bo said as he jumped onto my lap with his brother.

"Thank you, sweetie," I told him.

"Why don't ya'll go in the other room and let me and your Momma get dressed?" Luke asked the kids.

Surely all of the kids jumped up and headed out the door. Megan was sure to close it behind her when Luke turned and looked at me.

"I need big dose of coffee," I told him.

"I do too," Luke said, "But first I could use a dose of you."

"You're such a dork," I said as I got up and went to pick out clothes for the day.

"You're not getting away that easy," Luke said as he pounced on me from behind.

"Dammit, Luke! You scared the shit out of me!" I screamed at him.

"Sorry," Luke apologized, "I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay, but we need to get dressed. I'm going to run down to Starbucks for some coffee," I told him as I pulled jeans and Luke's favorite Under Armor hoodie out of my suitcase.

"Why are you wearing my clothes?" Luke questioned me.

"Because I can," I smirked as I pulled the jeans up over my hips. Luke just stared at me as I finished dressing with a smile plastered all over his face.

"Momma, can we go skiing with Kasey?" Kenzie begged as we came out the bedroom door, "Please, please, please?"

"I want to go too. Can we please?" Til asked Luke and I.

"Were you invited?" Luke asked Kenzie and Til.

"I invited them. I actually got the days of the concert mixed up and was thinking it was tomorrow so I planned a trip to Paoli for the kids today. Is that okay?" Kasey informed Luke and I.

"When are you leaving and when will you be back?" I asked my sister.

"We'll leave as soon as the kids are ready and be back whenever they are ready to leave, but no later than like six or seven," Kasey answered me.

"I don't care if Luke don't care," I said to Kasey as Til and Kenzie both turned to Luke.

"I don't care," Luke said with a fake smile.
