When they were done with the purchase of the gadgets, they decided to go back home as it was getting close to Luca and Emma's nap time. The rest of the purchase would be done online.

While Emma and Luca were napping, Brie, Damien and Lisa decided to purchase the remaining items . They bought TVs, stuffs. they would need to decorate each room with, a car sit, paints and much more which was going to be delivered the following day.

"Mom? Lisa called, why don't we paint the rooms ourselves? itt will be more fun. " That's a great idea, that way we can spend time together". "Am in, Damien agreed. " Since we're done with our purchase, am going to look up for schools so I can enroll you guys and a daycare for Luca, Brie said.

"ughh" they both groaned. You guys need to go school so you can make momma proud, said a smiling Brie.

It was late in the afternoon, Brie and the kids were in the sitting room. Brie was bonding with them when the door bell rang. "I'll get it " said Lisa getting up to open the door for the visitor. At the door stood a man in suit holding a briefcase in his hands, he looked to be in his late thirties or so.

"May I come in? "Sure Lisa answered opening the door wide for him to get in. They made their way to the living.

"Lisa honey, who's at the door?. Brie's asked while getting up and letting Luca play with his new toy cars. "Oh Mr Matin, pleasure to see you soon, I thought we would be meeting a little later. Were you able to get the files of the children?. Mr Matin is a competent lawyer and one of the best, he has been Brie's lawyer since she started Brie's Architecture and interior designs. There's possibly no one she could trust who could handle the task at hand. "Yes Miss Quinn, I was able to get their files and the adoption papers. I came here to get your signature and the kids are your officially and they can carry your last name. All the while the kids and were listening to the lawyer with tears in their eyes. The kids rushed to hug their new Mom.

" Thanks Mom you're the best thing that's ever happened to us, yesterday we had no mother or father figure in our lives and today we have a mother, you are really a blessing sent to us" Lisa cried. "Yes mom and we promise to make you proud" Damien said. After a few more tears of joy, Brie signed the adoption papers. Now the kids name are Damien Quinn,Lisa Quinn,Emma Quinn and Luca Quinn. It was such a happy day for them and their mom.

It was 9:00pm and the kids have gone to bed. Brie tucked Emma to sleep after reading her a book. While Luca has been put to bed an hour ago. kissing Emma on her forehead "Goodnight baby"

"Good night mommy, I love you. "Love you too honey. She exited the room to check on Lisa.

She knocked on Lisa's door. "Come in". She entered the room. Lisa was already in bed with on of the many books she ordered online. "Mom". " Hey honey, you okay?

"Yes? Mom. Why don't we have some girls time. "Sure Mom. Lisa replied giving Brie more space on her bed. They talked for a while when she noticed Lisa was already sleepy comfortably on her chest hugging her tight. She kissed her forehead and slowly got out bed and tucked her properly. "Good night honey" She said quietly and exited the room.

She made her way to Damien's room to check on him too. knocking on the door she heard a faint response" come in". She found him by his reading table, his sketch book in front of him with a pencil, busy sketching god knows what. Brie made her way to the desk. "Damien? Hey mom, you're still up, yes mom, am just trying to finish this. He said showed her what he was doing. it was a flower. Brie couldn't help but be more proud. He wants to be an architect but he also could be an artist if he wants to. Kissing his forehead, She bade him good night and told him not to stay up late and exited the room to hers. She changed into her night ware which consisted of shorts and matching top. She got into bed pulling Luca close to her who immediately snuggled into her chest.

Brie thought of how her life changed in the span of four days. It was a feeling of deja Vu and she looks forward to every bit of it. Tomorrow is going to be another day, she decided to get some sleep making a mental note to look for schools to enroll the kids. Good thing,it was the beginning of a fresh term to they won't have worry about catching up much. She later succumbed to darkness falling into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning, Brie woke up around 6:30

am. She went to the bathroom to carry out her daily business, once done, she glanced at Luca who. was sleeping soundly, leaving him to sleep a little more she made her way out of the bed room the wake the older ones. She knocked on Damien's door first. "Damien wake up and come down for breakfast." "Almost done Mom".

"Wake up Lisa and Emma then come down for breakfast. You have 30 minutes."

"Ok" he replied. She woke up Luca, after bathing him, she dressed him a cute jeans and bat man shirt finishing his look with White Gucci baby sneakers. She couldn't help but gush about how cute he looked. Together they went downstairs to. the kitchen to gett breakfast.

Placing Luca in his high chair, she prepared pancakes with honey and jam. Cutting Luca's into tiny chunks she fed him first while waiting for the rest to come down.

5 minutes later, she heard footsteps coming into the kitchen.

"Good morning Mom. Damien said kissing her cheeks, Lisa did the same.

"Good morning Mommy " Emma greeted. Brie got down to her height and kissed her forehead.

Breakfast was good filled with laughter and the banter between Dame and Lisa. Brie smiled at their antics.

After breakfast, Dame was doing the dishes when the door bell rang. The things they purchased were being delivered. After the delivery, Brie tipped the delivery boys well, they thanked her and left.

it took them two days to finally finish the painting of each room and arranging it. It turned out perfect and. they proud of their work.

Damien's room was more calming and suits his calm personality while Lisa's was more girly and sparkly and Emma was also girly and more princess like. Luca's was more of a baby room but boyish.

They were having dinner when their mom announced that she has enrolled them in a school 30 minutes away from her company and Luca in kindergarten 5minutes from her work place so she can easily drop them off and pick them up and they can come visit her in the office after school hours.

"That's a great idea Lis.

"So it's settled. Damien said. Spiderman cake and themed party.

I'll call the cake bakery and the decorators so that we can get everything set.

Brie also wanted to use that opportunity so that her mum and siblings can meet the kids.

    Alex’s POV The next morning, Alex woke with a heaviness in his chest, as if the weight of his own thoughts had transformed into something tangible overnight. The promise he’d made to Brie lingered in his mind: today, he would tell the family everything. After breakfast, Alex gathered everyone in the living room. The kids were scattered across the plush couches, their expressions ranging from curious to mildly annoyed. Brie sat beside him, her reassuring hand on his arm. Michael and Mason were also present, their faces solemn, already understanding the gravity of the situation. “Is this another one of those family meetings?” Damien groaned, leaning back with an exaggerated sigh. “Can’t it wait? I was about to beat Dave at FIFA.” “You wish,” Dave shot back, but his teasing tone faded when he caught the serious look on Alex’s face. “Enough,” Brie said gently. “This isn’t just a meeting. Your father has something important to share with all of us.” The room fell silent, all eye

    THIRD PERSON POV The days following Lisa's period passed in a haze of meetings, phone calls, and strategizing. Alex found himself more on edge than usual. He had always prided himself on being a man who thrived under pressure, but the reappearance of Ricardo Matteo was like a splinter lodged deep beneath his skin—impossible to ignore. He couldn’t shake the unease, no matter how hard he tried to focus on the present.Brie noticed it, of course. She always did. And while she did her best to maintain an air of normalcy for the kids, Alex could see the concern etched into her face when she thought no one was looking.The kids, perceptive as ever, had picked up on the tension too. Lisa, in particular, had grown uncharacteristically quiet over the past few days, while Damien and Dave seemed to channel their unease into endless teasing and roughhousing. It was their way of coping, Alex supposed, but it only added to the chaos brewing inside him.By Friday afternoon, Brie decided it was tim

    BRIE The blaring sound of my alarm clock woke me up from my deep slumber. Reaching to switch it off, I checked the time displayed on it. 5:40am. Reaching to my left, I found it empty, Alex must have gone for a workout in the gym. I decided to lay in bed for a while to have some me time before a certain toddler waltz in as usual demanding for food. For the past week, Luca has been waking me up early, demanding breakfast, I guess it's part of his growth process but I don't mind, it gives me and him some ‘’ mama and Luca” time. We cuddle, he plays with his toys, I watch him while I drink my cup of coffee before the older ones start waking up. I pick Luca up, placing him in his play pen. “ Luca baby, mommy is going to wake sissy up, okay”. I cooed. He gives me a cute nod. Making my way upstairs to Emma's room, I slowly open the door to find her already waking up. “ Good morning sweetheart,” "Good morning mommy”. “ Did you sleep well?”. I asked. “ Yes mommy “. “ Ok now let's fresh

    ALEXThe week went by quickly, with each day mirroring the one before it. I continued thinking about Ricardo and the ramifications of his abrupt homecoming between job commitments and the customary household rituals. Ricardo was a threat, not simply a ghost, but I wasn't one to linger on the past. Now that Saturday had arrived, the house was a hive of weekend activity. As usual, Brie went above and above to make sure our visitors had anything they wanted. Although Mason was coming for the first time, Brie wanted to make sure he felt welcome, even though Michael was family. --- Naturally, Michael came first, smiling like he owned the place and carrying a box of pastries. "Uncle Mikey!" Emma's voice could be heard as she hurried to welcome“Sunshine!” Michael exclaimed as he lifted her up with ease. “Have you been causing trouble, or is Damien still hogging that title?” “Hey!” Damien exclaimed from the couch, a smile tugging at his lips. “I’m a reformed man, Uncle Mike. Haven’t caused t

    ALEXThe office felt colder tonight. It wasn’t the temperature but the heavy silence, broken only by the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. My sanctuary, once a place of focus and strategy, now felt suffocating, like the walls were pressing in on me. I sat behind my desk, nursing a glass of bourbon, the amber liquid catching the dim light from the desk lamp.Ricardo’s face haunted me—his smug smirk, his piercing eyes. The encounter at the mall was brief, but it had triggered memories I’d worked hard to bury. The way he said “ just surprising an old friend” A knock at the door startled me.“Dad?”I looked up to see Damien peeking inside.“Yes, buddy?” I asked, trying to sound normal.“Just wanted to say goodnight,” he said, stepping in. His voice carried a maturity that always surprised me, even though he was only sixteen, “And… is everything okay?”I hesitated. “Why do you ask?”“You’ve been quiet since you guys got home,” he said, frowning. “It’s not like you.”I forced a smile

    Brie’s POV The tension in the car was suffocating. Alexander’s hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that I thought he might break it. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, but his mind was clearly elsewhere. I watched him from the passenger seat, biting my lip, wanting to ask but knowing better than to probe in front of the kids. “Mom, look! I drew this!” Emma’s cheerful voice broke the silence as she held up her sketchpad, oblivious to the heavy air. “That’s beautiful, sweetheart,” I said, smiling at her in the rearview mirror. Alexander didn’t respond, and I noticed Luca glanced at his father.When we pulled into the driveway, the house was lit up like a beacon. The familiar warmth of home greeted us, and as soon as we walked through the door, we were met with the sound of laughter. Damien, Dave, and Lisa—were already in the living room, locked in one of their usual banters. “You can’t seriously think pineapple belongs on pizza, Damien,” Lisa was saying, her tone incre

After the whirlwind of the past weeks with the kids, moment like this, calm and domestic feels unreal. “ Heading down now”. I replied.The ride down the elevator felt longer than usual, anticipation building with each ding. The glass door of the building opened and there he was leaning casually against the hood, his tailored jacket off and his shirt sleeves rolled up, exposing strong forearms. The moment his gaze met mine, a slow smile spread across his face, sending a warm flutter through me.“Hey there, beautiful,” he said as I approached, his deep voice full of affection as he kissed my forehead. The gesture erupting a pool of butterflies in my tummy.“Hey yourself,” I replied, unable to stop my own grin.He stepped forward, his hand gently grazing my lower back as he opened the passenger door for me. I climbed in, inhaling the familiar mix of leather and his cologne.“Long day?” he asked

Spending time and getting to know the kids was something I really needed. They make me happy, I don't remember when I was this happy, this was something I was missing all through my life. Brie and the kids make me happy. The house is no more quiet as they have practically moved in with me and dad. Their banter, laughter, food fights, loud noises fill the whole house. Even dad is more happier with the kids always around him. The warmth that spreads through me whenever I'm going home is unexplainable. HOME. The word so foreign yet so comforting.
