CHAPTER TWO

Brie's Pov

Ok kids am so happy today. You guys sit down while I get you some hot chocolates to warm you up. Then we can introduce ourselves and get to know each other ok?. They nodded smiling making my own smile widen.

Five minutes later, I came back with three cups of hot choco and handed it to them.

"So I'll go first. My name's Brianna Quinn and am the CEO of B Architecture and interior designs. It feels like high school where we have to introduce ourselves.

I'm Damien, am 16years old and I want to be an architect in future he said. He's name is Luca and he's 2 years old will be turning 3 in two weeks, Damien said pointing at a sleeping Luca.

"Awwwwn, my baby is turning three. I gushed.

"I'm Lisa and am 14 years old, I love fashion and I want to be a fashion designer in future. Lisa said.

And she's Emma, she's six years old. Lisa said pointing to a shy Emma.

"I love to play dress up, Emma said cutely.

Now that we've introduced each other, I'll just call my assistant to get you guys clothes for tonight then we can go shopping tomorrow morning. How does That sound?

"Sounds like a plan mom. Damien said.

I could help but get emotional, these kids mean a lot to me. I called my assistant and gave the orders of what to get the kids according to their ages.

It was 8:30pm, I was still getting to know the kids, their likes and dislikes. Emma was snuggled to me on my lap getting sleepy, Lisa was on my right and Damien was on my left when we heard the door bell. I was about toge the door when I was stopped by Damien.

"I got it mom, and he went to get the door. He came back with some shopping bags and my assistant Joana was behind him.

" Good evening ma'am. She greeted.

"Evening Joana, thanks for coming on short notice.

"it's alright ma'am. I guess they the kids you told me to get clothes for? " Yes they are.

" please drop the bags on the couch and clear my schedule for the next two weeks, I won't be coming in to work. Can you handle the office while am away? "Sure ma'am.

"Ok thanks. If anything comes up, you can email me the details. I'll be working from home.

"ok ma'am. Have a good night.

Let's head upstairs so you can each choose your rooms. Dame help me with Luca, I said picking Emma who was asleep already. Damien chose the room opposite mine, Lisa chose the on my left and I went to the room opposite Damien's to get a sleeping Emma ready for bed while the oldest each went to get ready for bed. I asked Damien to place Luca on my bed with his bag.

Once Emma was settled in bed and sleeping, I make my way to my room to change into my night wear. I changed Luca and place him properly on the bed and I slid in beside him and went to sleep.

I woke up as early as 5:30am in the morning. I was always a morning person. I decided to call my mom to tell her everything and she was very happy and couldn't wait to meet the kids. I decided to take my bath and get dressed for the day, we have a long day ahead of us today with so much to do. Once it was 6:30 am I headed down stairs to get started on breakfast. I decided to make pancakes, omelette, bacon with fruit juice for the kids, coffee for me and milk for Luca. I headed upstairs. I went into Damien's room first.

Slightly patting his cheeks " Good morning my boy, it's time to get up. He opened his eyes, Good morning mom.

" morning, I chirped. Get Ready and come down for breakfast. Am going to wake the girls up.

I woke Lisa up and she's getting ready. I helped Emma get dressed and went to wake up the little guy.

Once in my room I found him awake already."Good morning sunshine. I beamed at him.

"Mamma was the first thing he said and I couldn't help but feel a sudden burst of affection. He made grabby hands for me to pick him up.

"Did you sleep well?. he nodded . Then let's get ready. I got Luca ready and we went down stairs. I found the kids already at the dining table.

After breakfast, we were sitting in the living room.

" Kids we have a lot to do today. We have to go shopping, then the hospital so that you can get checked up, then I have to call my lawyer so that I can get custody of the four of you.

"Wait Mom, Dame interrupted. "You want to get custody of us?. Like you're willing to give us your last name?.

"Yes dear, the moment I said I wanted to adopt you guys I meant giving you my last name too. I may not be the one that gave birth to you kids but you're my kids and I would anything to keep you safe. You're my responsibility now, I was lonely before I met you but now I look forward to better days with my kids. That's how much I love. You guys mean the whole world to me.

By the time I was done, they had tears in their eyes and soon I was engulfed in a group hug. I felt complete. After our little emotional Breakdown, we got started with our activities for the day.

I called my lawyer and he assured me that he would help me the job done as fast as he could so that the kids Will be officially mine and would be able to carry my surname. With that being done we went to the hospital, I was able to get an appointment with my doctor who happens to be a pediatrician too.

We got to the hospital and series of test were done on the kids to see if they have any issues or allergies. Damien, Lisa and Emma were given the green signal but the doctor found out that Luca has serious peanut allergy so we were warned to be careful of what he eats.

Now we are at the front of the shopping mall when Lisa spoke up.

"Mom? yes ?

" Why don't we start with Damien's shopping the mine and Emma's and lastly Luca?.

"Sure honey, that's a great idea. what do you think. I asked looking at Emma and Damien. "Yes mom.

am in. Yayyy.

Mommy will I get many toys? Emma asked.

" Yes love, anything for you.

We went to shop for Damien first, then the girls. It was fun with Damien and Lisa bickering at each other. Damien being the over protective brother saying the clothes Lisa is choosing are too small or exposing too much skin. I allowed her choose what she wants and refused the inappropriate ones. She a teenager so it's best to let her explore the clothing that suits her personality. Now we are at the baby section, we all picked out what was suitable for Luca letting him decide on some on his own and he was having so much and I couldn't stop smiling. we were done finally.

We bought clothes, bags, shoes,toys, head bands and jewelry for the girls and all other necessities. We still have to go electronic shopping but we decide to have lunch at the restaurant close to the mall. After placing our orders and waiting for it. I asked the kids the color they want their room to be decorated in.

"Damien, what color do you want your room to be?

" uhmm... I want it to be grey and ash.

What about you girls. " I want mine to be two shades of purple,light and dark purple to be precise. Lisa said.

"And I want mine to be pink just like a princess. Emma said happily and we all laughed. I looked down at Luca on my lap who was busy Playing with hair.

"Baby? I called. He looked at me. "What color do you want your room to be?

"No he said. Why baby, you don't want your room to be painted?.

"No, he said again. I sweep with mamma.

Awwwwn that's okay baby. You will be sleeping with me then we can paint your room later okay?.

Our food arrived and we dug in.

Next we went to the phone store. Damien and Lisa both got the latest iphone 13 pro max, two sketching notepad, ipads etc.
