"let's go, I need you to drive me to work and... to meet Victoria " Joshua looked away and scratched his neck when I looked at him shocked of what he said at the end

"what? "

"just get up already! you are done with breakfast anyway "

"Mommy, you going? " Louis to me with his puppy eyes and a mouth full of toast 

"Yeah, I need to go to work honey, the weekend is over already "

"oh "

"I'm sorry  I couldn't spend much time with you Louis "

Aiden cleared his throat after swallowing the bite he took out of his sandwich " he got to stay with the cool uncles he doesn't need you anymore, right champ?" he looked at Louis smirking and so did Joshua to which he answered by nodding his head frantically and smiling wide

"wow, thanks guys, I feel valued "

"just get up lazy queen "

"fine " I was about to get up and put my used coffee cup In the dishwasher but Aiden pulled it out of my hand

"Just get out already, it's a cup, it won't kill us to put it away instead of you "

"I'm so proud our baby bro grew up Amanda " Joshua wiped a fake tear and hugged me from the side, pulling my hand close to his face so he can wipe the fake tears with my shirt "after twenty-four years, finally..he-he.. he's going to put a cup in the dishwasher"

Aiden shot him a glare before he glanced at Louis then back at josh as if telling him' only because there's a kid in here' 

I chuckled at the two of them then pushed Joshua's weight away from me "let's go, or we'll be late and I won't be able to meet Vic "

"I should go with you someday, it's been so long since I last saw her" Aiden spoke taking another bite of his sandwich 

"not you " Joshua glared at him playfully but I knew there was a bit of truth in what he was saying ...jealous Dumbo

"let's go already!" I pushed him out leading him to the front door so we can go "I won't be late Aiden I'll make sure to be here to pick you up for the shooting " I told Aiden before the two of us were done wearing our footwear to leave

"Okay, thanks sis"

"BYE!" Joshua yelled before closing the door and locking it behind us

"SEE YA!"

"oh my god! I finally got to meet you again !" I was hugged so tight before I could even see her face

"hi... Vic " I said awkwardly which made Joshua chuckle

"let go of her Vic, so she can at least see your face "

"oh yeah right" she pulled away and stood there sheepishly, I looked at her face for the first time after years

"you grew up to be extremely beautiful Vic "

"thank you, you too"

"Are you saying that I'm old? " I tried to sound like I was offended and that took her off guard

"oh no! I didn't mean it that way! I mean you look younger than what you are  ...oh god no! I mean yo-"

"it's fine Vic, she's messing around with you .. stop teasing her Amanda"  Joshua was trying his best to hold the laugher while he pretended to be glaring at me  but it didn't work
