Adrianna: Nine

As soon as the girls saw their new toy box Noelle climbed inside it and started playing peek a boo with anyone who would walk by.

In fact being in the toy box was one of the only times she was content. Whenever she was left alone on the floor she’d throw a tantrum until someone came to pick her up.

“It’s alright kiddo nobody forgot about you.” Adrianna assured her youngest as she settled her into her high chair.

“It’s your birthday!” She told Gemma as she lifted her into the air. “Now remember just because you’re a big girl doesn't mean you have to forget about Mommy, OK?”

“Okay mama.” Gemma giggled.

On her birthday Gemma grew into a spunky little girl. “Mom I’m big!” She yelled happily. “When do I go to school?

“Not until tomorrow morning sweetheart.” Adrianna called to her.

“I’m going to bed right now!” She yelled and raced to her new bed.

Gemma woke up bright and early the next morning and grabbed some leftover spaghetti before standing in front of the window watching for the bus. She couldn't wait for her first day she was sure she would make tons of friends and have tons of fun.

“Bye mom!” She yelled running out the door as soon as she saw the bus. She was disappointed to find that she was the first stop and there were no other kids to sit with.

She was first off the bus when it pulled up to the school and she pushed to the front of the group of kids that were standing waiting to go inside. She was happy to see she wasn't the only vampire in the school.

School was as good as she imagined it would be, she was a fast learner and could already tell she’d be at the top of the class. She had also made tons of friends and even got invited over to Zach Babb’s house after school. Once she had permission from her mom she hopped on the bus with him.

Zach was a bit older but seemed nice, he was however overly concerned about the bus driver.

“She looks suspicious.” He told her when she asked why he was giving the driver such a strange look.

They sat down with his brother Leif to do their homework as soon as they got to his house.

“No Zach number ten is six!” She told him shaking her head at his poor math skills.

“Are you sure?” He asked.

“Yes its six!”

“She’s right.” Leif added.

“Well sorry we can’t all be genius’s and Vampires.” Zach grumbled.

“Gotcha!” Gemma said happily as she caught Zach for the fifth time during tag.

“Why did I agree to this?” He groaned.

“I don’t know but you’re it better catch me!” She giggled and ran from him.

While her oldest was out playing with her new friend Adrianna was at home trying to teach Noelle her skills. Noelle was proving to be just as stubborn as her sister, the only word she had learned so far was ‘no’ and she was abusing it.

Gemma was home just in time for dinner and they all sat down together for the first time.

“How was school?” Adrianna asked.

“It was great! My teacher says I’m super smart and all the kids were really friendly.” Gemma said excitedly. “Zach Babb is kind of a brat though he had a big fit because I’m faster than he is!”

“Maybe you should run a little slower and let him have a chance.”

“But then I would lose! I can’t lose mom.” She said wide eyed and Adrianna chuckled.

With the girls tucked in for the night Adrianna looked around and shook her head, they were going to need more space once Noelle had her next birthday. 

************

I'm finally getting close to caught up! Gemma will probably be the main focus for awhile until Noelle becomes a child, Adrianna is really kind of boring since all she does is work, workout, and clean. Fall will make an appearance again soon also as well as his two children.
