5 " Mom , I have a proper sit - on ," Aizen says and sets a notebook in front of me . " Proposition , " I correct him . How cute is he ? Ah ! Okay , Phoebe be serious . Don't laugh . " That's what I said , " he rolls his eyes . " Wait , I'm here , " Ayrie says as she runs in with her pink laptop toy and a matching . carrier . The laptop's mouse is dragging on the floor beside her , and I'm surprised she hasn't tripped on it . She sets them down on the dining table . My baby is wearing her favorite coat and plastic princess heels from her dress - up treasure chest . This is the very first time the two of them have teamed up on me like this . I sneak a couple of pictures while they're distracted . " I told you to hurry , " Aizen tries to fix her hair as she tries to take the carrier strap off . " I was getting pretty , " Ayrie scoffs . " That's impossible . " he rolls his eyes and she half - heartedly shoves him before going back to her task . It takes them a moment to gather their toys . She opens the laptop that she insisted she needed to learn math and it helped . That's all it does . Teaches her how to add and subtract . She's tried the multiplication levels and she caught on that the x1s are always just going to be the multiplied number . It has a bunch of cool games on it . We couldn't put it down the first week she got it . The toy pings and starts to boot up as she opens up the carrier . I nod when she pulls out a plastic banana , a tomato , and a pack of crayons . Those are one hundred percent necessary . " Where's the mouse ? " she looks around . " I found it , " Aizen jumps out of his chair to pick it up . " Thank you ," she takes it and helps him back into the chair . " Ready , " " Our proper sit - on , " Aizen waves his hands over the toys and papers . He slips a sheet of paper with the word puppy written in big sloppy letters . Their names are both scribbled at the bottom as signatures . " Do you understand , mommy ? " Ayrie asks crossing her arms over the table . They are dead serious about this . So , I play along . I reach into my purse for my glasses and slip them on . Ayrie taps Aizen's arm excitedly but his focus is completely on me . I pretend to read through their proposition and then set it down . "A puppy , huh ? " " Yes , please , " they say at the same time . " Am I allowed to think about it ? " I ask . " So that I can come up with my own proper sit- on ? " 1/3 " One second , " Ayrie says and leans into Aizen to cup her hands over his ear to whisper to him . He listens and then they switch . I sit back to see Kendra standing by the hallway trying her best to stay quiet . " How long will that take ? " " Usually , I have to the end of the week , I shrug . " You want Mommy to really think about it , " " Ugh , that's a long time , Mom ," Aizen complains . " I know . A puppy is a big responsibility . You'd have to feed it and make sure it drinks . water . You have to teach it to go potty and then clean its poopy and peepee . I don't want to do that and neither does Kenny , Cause , gross ," I shrug . " We can do that ," Ayrie promises . " Fine . Until the end of the week , " Aizen rolls his eyes . " What have I told you about the eye roll ? I glare at him . " Sorry , " he smiles . " Cheeky . Very well . I will think about it until the end of the week . I would also like for the two of you to think about what I said . You cannot expect me and Kenny to take care of your puppy . That's going to be your job . We can go to the store after work to get a calendar so you guys can set up our chores chart . Maybe we can add the puppy so you can see how much work it is to have one ," รบ " Okay , they both agree right away . " All right , clear the table . Breakfast time ," I take their proposition and tuck it into my carrier . I am going to have my assistant frame this for my office . Then I'll add pictures of them . I love puppies . I just haven't been able to have one because we travel a lot . " Help ," Ayrie grabs Aizen's arm to stop him from leaving her . " Fine , " he growls and takes some of her things . " We can , you know , " Kendra says and helps me serve them their breakfast . " We're not going to be on the move now that you're at the head of the table . Xochtl doesn't want you out on the runway anymore . She said Francis made a huge mess here . She wants it fixed . That means longer days away from the twins , Mama ," " Yeah ," I agree . " But a puppy won't compensate for that ," " Right . But it'll distract them , Hopefully long enough for you to get settled ," " Did you contact the school already ? " " I have . The principal said that she'll meet with us Wednesday morning . You up for that ? " " Yeah , the sooner the better , " , I agree . " I'll set it up ," she pats my head . " Pancakes , Ayrie wiggles in her chair . Kendra distracts them after I tell them I'm going to have to go soon . I usually have to 2/3 sneak out or Ayrie cries . I like taking her with me sometimes , but I need to get a feel of the layout before I let her into the new office . I want to know who they're going to be around . They ask a lot of questions . Cevin , my personal assistant is waiting for me when I get to the lobby . There are cameras outside already . We both let out heavy sighs . This is one thing I will miss about Paris . The paparazzi here are a lot hungrier than they are over there and I am the shiny new toy . Questions are fired at me as soon as we step outside . Cev brought out the big guys today . The guards push the cameras back as I am led to the car with Cevin right behind me . We get situated and I let out a sigh of relief . At least , no one threw paint at me today . Subscribe 6
