--6 Months later--

Christina POV

It has been a wild 6 months, I now have 11 kids, my parents were in a crash, they were very badly injured, the cannot support the family, so I took in Laylah as my own. Well heres a little update on our family.

We are now a family of 13. I, Christina is now 34, Nick is 35, Lauren is 22 and engaged, Dani is 17, the quads are 15, the twins are 15 now, Laylah is 13, Nicky is 3, Molly is 2. We stopped touring for now and we do local concerts, the Reali family is there own band, but we still perform as Cimorelli. Mikkayla and Malia have moved on from there first loves, Malia is still great friend with Riley but Malia said that girls just working out, Mik still is depressed about Elijah, she told me she may have moved on but her heat as not. Lauren got engaged back in June and there getting married in December, and if your wondering, yes shes marrying Lilah. And yes Mandie and Josh are still together. Missa no longer is a narcoleptic, so she performs with us. Today we have a concert in Nashville at "Coffee Hour" in the plaza, I missed that place, it brings back memories. 

I got up from my bed and walked downstairs, Dani was doing the dishes.

"Oh hey mom!" She came over to hug me.

"Hi DanDan, you ready for the concert today?" I asked.

"Yeah, i'm excited."  She smiled.

"Gram and gramps will be there!" I told her.

"Really? Thats awesome." She smirked, she looked a little nervous.

"You okay hun?" I asked.

"Yeah just nervous thats all." I know she was lying, but I went with it.

"Okay hun." I replied. Then Mandie walked downstairs.

"Hi Momma!" She said and ran to me, i picked her up.

"Wow your getting heavier!" I laughed.

"And taller!" She added.

"You ready for the concert today?" I asked.

"Yeah! Whos coming?" Mandie asked.

"The whole family, Mom, Dad, Miley, Anika, Destiny, Marina." I listed.

"Oh yay!" She clapped her hands.

--9:00 am--

"Band meeting!" I called. Everyone came down.

"We need discuss what where going to do at the concert." I added.

"Were playing for the whole day so everyone can get a solo song, if you want to, and we need group songs, or instead of solo you can duet, ok start with Nick, GO!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, so for group songs, You Say, Who You Say I Am, Home, and Who told you." Nick suggested. We went in order from  to youngest. (First and last initials)

"Okay everyone, we know the harmonies for all these. So where good, lets pack the van and go." I exclaimed.

--30 minutes later// arrived at the Dest.--

"Wow this is so cool!" Mandie said.

"Yeah it is!" I replied.

We set up and the family showed up, along with other people. We were ready to start.

"Hey I'm Christina Reali"

"Hey I'm Nick Reali"

"Hey I'm Malia Reali"

"Hey I'm Maria Reali"

"Hey I'm Mandie Reali."

"Hey I'm Mikkayla Reali"

"Hey I'm Ashlynn Reali"

"Hey I'm KT Reali"

"Hey I'm Laylah Reali"

"And were the Reali's" we all waved.

"So first were going to start with You Say by Lauren Daigle." I started strumming the guitar, and Lauren played piano.

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, o-ooh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
Oh, I believe

Taking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, and You'll have every victory, o-ooh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe

Oh I believe
Yes I believe
What You say of me
Oh I believe

They all clapped.

"Thank you! Our next song is Who You Say I Am by Hillsong." I went to the piano and nodded.

(Christina)
Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me

(All)
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

(Quads)
Free at last He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me

(All)
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

(Twins+ Laylah )
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I

(Nick and Christina)
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

(All)
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

We stood up and bowed. Then I took a separate bow.

"Thank you, Now for our next song Home, by Phillips Phillips."
