After the two hours of training everyone had went in different directions. Kilian disappeared into the basement followed by tons of banging. All three girls were complaining about their sore muscles. I went into the kitchen to prepare lunch and decided to find Helga and check in with her.“Hey there buttercup!” I said with a grin walking into her room.“I wanted to check in while the spy-demons are busy. How are you doing with everything?” I was trying to be upbeat but serious at the same time.“Mama, I really don’t know. I mean it’s a lot.” She stopped looking in her closet and took a seat beside me on the bed. “For some reason these boys coming here, well, it’s making me nervous. Like, come on. What if the guy is a douche-canoe? I am stuck with him following me around school and everywhere outside the house for weeks?!” I could hear the stress in her voice as she was speaking to me.&ldqu

After dinner we gathered in the living room and made sure that everyone knew the basics for school the next day. The girls needed to make sure that their stories all aligned with the guards and parents. We decided that the three of us, Alexander, Kilian, and me, would go to the schools to speak with the administration personally as well as introduce our third parent to the group. At this point we were just going to limit the information as much as possible, but the men agreed to let me do the talking and have complete control. Helga is in Highschool, but Freya and Ingrid are still in the middle school, they are both in 8th grade. After my time homeschooling Freya, she was too far advanced, everyone thought they were twins anyways.The girls each took their own guards on tours of the house. They went in different directions to get comfortable with each of them before tomorrow. I could hear Freya giggling like crazy when her prank spider contraption sprung out at Hal. Tristian

At 6:15 PM I received a text message. We were all back home eating the pizza we picked up on our way from Sylvi’s. Those young guys came in handy. The took the toolbox and just started putting everything together. The girls and I moved the furniture around the nursery setting it up. I don’t know if we could have done it without them. I opened my message from Sylvi, and it was a picture of her holding Mason in the nursery. Another picture came in, this one of Luke holding him in their living room where I had set the pack and pay covered in Tonka trucks with a huge smile on Luke’s face.“Well I think they loved their surprise.” I said showing the pictures around the table to everyone that put in the hard work. “Do not forget girls, training tomorrow at 6:00 AM.” They groaned, Kilian joined them, and it caused me to giggle. “Come on you guys, Lex wants to go with 5:00, maybe I should just let him have his way…” I trail

I swear my house has become a revolving door lately. I thought to myself as I finished whipping off the counter. Kilian still was not home yet, and I was beginning to worry. The girls managed to talk Lex into a new training schedule, he gave them one day a week off somehow. They were working him pretty well, but he remained firm. I thought he told me he was not going to have them train on the weekends, but they decided to only fight for Sundays.I set up a cot in my office temporarily for Flo. Being around her put any worries I had to rest. She was going to fit in great around here. She was more than happy to discuss teenage girl topics with Freya and Helga. Ingrid was quiet through the night but that isn’t odd. Sylvi and Luke had picked up Mason and dropped off dinner for everyone. Kilian was stuck and was not going to make it back in time to cook dinner. Freya was upset but said he could make it up the next day. Flo took the opportunity to offer a movie

I woke up the next morning as I felt Lex move from the bed. I opened my eyes feeling refreshed. I sat up and took a sip of my water before noticing Randolph in the corner of the room. He had a pillow under his head laying flat on his back. My heart warmed at the sight of him. I am sure he was not comfortable, but he felt the need to make sure I was okay, no matter how awkward.I walked over him quietly, grabbing the blanket that was thrown over the back of the chair on my way. I sat down pulling the blanket over us both gently. I set my head on his chest and wrapped an arm around his torso. After I was there for a moment, I felt his arm move from the floor, it wrapped around my body pulling me closer to him.I was in a trance, the sound of the bathroom door caused me to come back to reality. I tried to sit up slowly but his arm was locked around me. Lex was looking at the bed then towards the closet. When he did not see me, his face turned to Randolph and his eyes wide
