Finding Her Way Back.

Dinner (7)

Sunday soon came round, Aunt Verna had come home last night, Malcolm stayed in the hospital with Mason and Isaiah had gone to a friends house. Uncle Fernando flew out to Spain for a business meeting and I knew he'd be back just before the gender reveal.

"Everyone ready for church?" Aunt Verna asked as everyone was dressed and ready. We'd meet Jacqui and Parker there. I wore a orange floral summer dress and I slicked my hair back in a middle parted bun. I took my Michael Kors handbag and paired it with some heels. Church was my favourite place to dress up for because it gave me the opportunity to dress up for the Lord.

"Everyone on their best behaviour. No twitching, no fighting, no chewing gum or talking unless you're responding to the Pastor. Understood?" Aunt Verna Looked from the oldest to the youngest and we all nodded.

"Amazing, now pile into the SUV." She said and we all piled in and Steve drove us.

A few hours later service was over and we were all just socialising in the Church gardens.

"Such a lovely sermon Pastor, thank you for that word today." My aunt Verna shook his hand.

"Anytime, and I see we have a family member who has returned." The pastor said and I smiled.

"Nice to see you again Reverend." I said and he shook my hand.

"Okay so who's ready for Sunday lunch?" Aunt Verna smiled. Esmerelda and the rest of the maids came to morning service so by the time we come back after the afternoon service the food was ready.

"Whoop! I'll be there." Jacqui  said and Parker laughed.

"Of course we're coming over." He confirmed.

"Of course we expected you to come over." Mum said and she hugged them both. Aunt Verna rubbed Jacqui 's belly. "I have to feed my favourite grandchild don't I." she cooed.

Jacqui  rolled her eyes slightly and laughed, "it's your only grandchild."

"Yet." she smirked and cooed at her belly a bit more.

Jacqui  scoffed, "lets get through this one first eh?" She said and we all laughed.

"Let's go guys." I held Jason's hand and headed towards the car.

I saw Josh a bit behind speaking to Sophie McAdams. I smiled secretly and went to tap his shoulder.

"We have to go bro." I said.

He blushed slightly, "I've got to go but I'll see you in school?" he said and she nodded and blushed too.

"Sounds like a chaperoned date needs to be arranged, ey bro?" I put my arm across his shoulder and smirked.

He blushed and shook his head, "no, its not like that and don't tell anyone."

"Your secret is safe with me." I mocked and led him to his door.

We all piled in and headed towards the estate. We lived pretty far out from everything but luckily church wasn't too far. "Make sure you wash your hands boys as you get in. I know Delilah will do it anyway." Aunt Verna grinned and the boys nodded. Jase played with his Nintendo switch of course and Lucas and Josh were in their own world on their phones.

Mum shook her head, "what does it take to get some attention these days? Even Jase is going."

I smiled sadly and laughed, "I'm here for you mum, don't worry."

She squeezed my leg and pulled up to the gate. "That's my girl." She said and the gate opened. She drove in and Parker and Jacqui soon followed in. Everyone piled into the house and headed to their designated rooms. "Remember to wash your hands and everyone to the dinner table for 5pm!" Mum shouted.
