Evander It is funny to watch when she is lecturing him, but we always make sure he doesn’t see us laughing. We made that mistake once and it was a horrible training he put us all through, except for Umayza of course. She can get away with just about anything and it doesn’t matter who she does it to. Umayza wakes me up in the middle of the night and demands chocolate chip cookies. Conri and I learned fast that we better do as she says or Mom will show up to scold us and Dad is usually there with whatever it was she wanted, earning himself a hug and a kiss. Conri holds her in his lap as they sit on the couch in front of the window and I get a huge smile from our Little Mate when I hold out a plate with chocolate chip cookies. After she has eaten all of them she drifts off to sleep again and we quietly crawl back into our bed, snuggling her between us.Just before dawn she wakes up Conri and this time it is ice cream she wants, but Conri links me that the flavor she wants isn’t in the fridge. I am sure I had put it in there yesterday morning after she had another craving and she had only eaten half of the ice cream, but Conri is adamant that it is no longer there. So I ask Umayza if she can remember whether or not I put it back in the fridge and she confirms what I already thought myself. We talk about why it might no longer be there when she starts crying and I hold her tight as I link Conri to get back to the bedroom, it turns out our Little Mate had eaten it before she woke me up in the middle of the night for cookies. Umayza I had so much fun picking out the shirts and I know my Mates are fearing the worst, not that mine is particularly nice. Our guards had taken the opportunity to shop for their own shirts as well and we had a blast reading all the different prints that we found. Mama told us she would hold on to the shirts until the night of the party and we all know that no one will get anywhere near them, not even Papa. Besides the fact that I love reading the text on every shirt, they are also big enough to cover my belly and that is the main reason I wanted to wear Conri’s shirt. It is a great dinner the evening of the party and I can’t wait for everyone to get their shirts, Yade has been laughing her ass off every now and then as we think of those shirts. It has been fun picking out a shirt that suites the males and I think we all peed our pants a little when I held up the shirt for Armand. I have to give it to him as the rest fears retaliation from him and for some reason he never gets mad at me no matter what I say or do, lets hope that doesn’t change today. Once the tables are cleared Mama hands me the shirt that is for Armand and with a huge smile on my face I hand it to him. He makes sure no one can see it as he unfolds the shirt, “Oh, Yeah. Definitely my shirt.” He says before he turns it around for the rest to see, the shirt is black with the text “I see no good reason to act my age.” on it and everyone is laughing their asses off. Alexia got Theron a shirt that reads, “I’m nicer than my face looks” and hers reads, “Requires constant Supervision.” Theron looks at her after he has read both of them and tells her she should wear hers permanently. It had taken us a few tries before we found shirts for the males in my protection detail. Boris got one that reads, “I am not a complete Idiot, some parts are missing” Yonatan got one that reads, “Amazing in Bed, I can Sleep for days” and Axel got, “Breaking News: No one cares.” Tarja and Blaze found their shirt pretty quickly and they hit the bullseye picking them. Tarja is wearing a blue shirt that reads, “I hope Karma slaps you in the face, before I do” while Blaze is wearing a green shirt that reads, “Danger; mentally unstable, not fully medicated. Keep safe Distance.” Papa is rolling in the aisles as they read them out loud and I hope I don’t wet myself before we are at the party.Dad is looking at Ma and I know she got him the perfect shirt to wear, he stares at the text as he holds it up. “Don’t judge because I’m quiet, no one plans a murder out loud.” He reads and his head snaps towards me once he is finished, I told Asilda he would blame me but she hadn’t believed me. “Blame your other Daughter, I am innocent this time.” I say and everyone is laughing once again. Ma holds up her shirt that reads, “If you met my family, you would understand” and I don’t know who is more stunned by it, Dad or Orion. I giggle as she puts it on with a huge smile on her face. Orion is laughing so loud that he can’t even turn the shirt around and Asilda and I say in unison, “My parents think they’re in charge. That’s so cute.” Ma and Dad stare at the two of us while Callan puts on his shirt without even looking at it, “I tried being normal once, worst two minutes of my life.” Armand looks at me but I just point at Blaze and she starts running as Callan has finally read the text. Orion is in stitches when he finally looks at his Mate, Asilda’s shirt says, “Oops, my Bad. I could have sworn I was dealing with an Adult.”
