FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!Finally it going to be another weekend!!!. It's been hella hectic. As much as I love my job, it's very exhausting. Am extremely exhausted added to the fact that I had the most annoying and difficult client today. I can't wait to get home and cuddle with my babies."Am home!". I yelled when I was inside the house."Damien? Lisa? Emm...... The fit of giggles and laughter coming from the kitchen caught my attention. I slowly made my way to the kitchen almost made have a heart attack. The scene was hilarious, am not mad that my kitchen looked like a gabage bin. Am glad that after a long and exhausting day at work I get to see this. The stress I felt earlier all vanished into thin air.Damien had flour all over him, his shirt and face were covered in flour and egg , Lisa wasn't any difference. Emma had flour on her face and her cute pink short and tank top were covered in flour but not much Luca well however was not different. They are yet to notice my presence."What in the world of mushrooms is going on here? They all stopped there flour fight and turned abruptly."What is going on here? I asked again."Mummy", and excited Luca came running to me as fast as his little feet could carry him."Well?is anyone going to answers?"A..ac.. actually ""Well.....I busted into laughter, there faces were priceless."I was only messing with you guys". I said in between laughter. They sighed In relief."So what were you trying to make that's got you all covered in flour and eggs?" I asked picking Luca and placing him on the counter doing the same with Emma."We were. making cupcakes. It's in the oven, it should be done soon. We were cleaning up when someone decide it was. time to play cricket with the eggs " Lisa said glaring at Dame."What!! but it was fun!!! he sang. Admit it you enjoyed it he sang poking Lisa who was trying to hold her laughter which wasn't working."Fine, It was fun.""Besides the cupcakes were for you mum"."Awwwwn, is it now?."Yes"."Group hug? I love you guys so much" I said to the as tears welled up in my eyes."Mum don't cry, we love you too". Damien said kissing my forehead. Did I say he was taller than me?. Yep, my son is taller than I am.Suddenly, Luca pushed Damien from me."My mummy". He glared at his brother hugging my neck."Hey, she's my momma too"." No my mummy"."My momma""Mine""Nope buddy, she mine"."That's enough Dame, stop upsetting my baby".Luca pouted his lips."Damien, clean Emma and Luca please and Lisa so wash up too. I'll clean the kitchen while you guys are at it."No mom I'll help". "You sure honey? "Yep". While Dame went with these little ones, Lisa and I cleaned up the mess and just in time the oven dinged. I put on the oven mitts and removed the cupcakes from the oven and they looked good. I set them to cool and continued cleaning."How's school Lisa?.""Oh school is fantastic mom, I made a new friend, her names Nicole and she just moved here in New York with her parents"."Wow that's nice. When are we meeting her? "."I don't know mom. She's new in town. Maybe when she adjusts well I'll invite her over since we've been planning to have a sleepover but we've not decided whose house yet"."That's great, let me know when you decide so I can make you girls some cookies too"."Will do mom".Lisa went upstairs to shower while I stayed in the kitchen to finish up. I was too lazy to cook today. So takeout it is.I went to the living room to grab my phone."SHOULD WE ORDER PIZZA? I yelled."Yes". I went ahead and placed our order and waited for it to be delivered. The delivery boy came 10 minutes later. I payed then placed the pizza on the counter in the kitchen and went up to my room to shower and wash off today's exhaustion.I got dressed in my PJs and went downstairs. Luca was already falling asleep, so I made him a cup milk because I didn't want him to go to bed on an empty stomach. And soon he was asleep. I tucked him in for the night and went back down stairs. We ate our dinner. Emma was also sleepy and it was a little past her bed Time. I also tucked her in for the night.Damien, Lisa and I decided to watch a N*****x movie. Twilight saga. Damien searched for the movie while Lisa and I made popcorn. We started the movie with Lisa and Dame on either of my sideWe finished twilight then we switched to barbie and the 12 dancing princesses after much debate which Lis and I won much to Dame's dismay but he had no choice than to watch the 'Crappy' movie like he said. I stirred and woke noticing that we all slept off in the middle of the movie."Dame, Wake up". He stirred and looked at me sleepily. "What Time is it?".Glancing at the clock on the wall. "It's 12:00 am. lets go to bed. Wake Lisa and help her to her room. He picked her up because Lis Is a heavy sleeper and when her sleep is destroyed she gets grumpy.I switched off the TV and the lights and headed upstairs. I went to each kid's room to kiss them good night which I've become used to in the last three months. it's been more like my tradition an I love every bit of it. I went to my room and got into bed with a smile. A sigh of contentment escaped my lips. Soon I welcomed darkness going into a dreamless sleep.

MOM CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
ALEX The air in Alex’s office was unusually still, a sharp contrast to the quiet hum of the house beyond its thick doors. He leaned back in his chair, letting his fingers drum a steady rhythm on the polished oak desk as he reviewed the quarterly reports. Numbers were his escape, a world of certainty and structure in the chaos of recent days. A faint flicker on one of the computer monitors caught his eye. The security feed from the backyard cameras, a constant presence on his secondary screen, glitched briefly before returning to normal. A chill ran down his spine, a quiet instinct whispering that something wasn’t right. Moments later, the office lights flickered ominously, and then—darkness. The room plunged into an eerie silence, broken only by the faint hum of the emergency generator kicking in. The monitors blinked back to life, but something was wrong. The primary security system was offline, and the usually seamless streams of footage were replaced by static. “Damn it,”
MOM CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
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
MOM CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
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
MOM CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
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
MOM CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
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
MOM CHAPTER TWENTY
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
MOM CHAPTER NINETEEN
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
MOM CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
BRIEI looked down at my phone smiling as Alexander's name lit up the screen “ I'm outside”. 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
MOM CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
ALEX Today was going to be very hectic for me. Taking two weeks off from work wasn't the best idea but I couldn't change it for the world. 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. The sound of my office door opening brings me out of my thoughts. Revealing my best friends " Hey man, what's up." Mason And Micheal greeted while sitting in front of me. The both of them propping their legs on my table. " The fuck!!, get your legs of my table, Now, you both". I said slightly getti
