"Are you already wet, mommy?" I ask mommy, who is in the bath.

We both decided to have a bath together.

More like mommy begged me to.

As children, my brother's all had bath days (respectively) with daddy, so it was only fair that I had one bath day with mommy.

Her words not mine.

Although I don't mind it at all.

I just wish instead of water, it was chocolate.

So yeah, overall I'm having a bath day with mommy.

"Yes baby, come on now, let me shampoo your hair." She says.

"So, how was your day today?" She asks while massaging my head.

"It was.....interesting" I say after pausing and giving my words a thought.

"Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed your day." She says.

Yeah, I did.....enjoy.

Flashback

"And so that's how I got Mr.Penis as my toy." I say to Monday as we're walking to our next class.

"But you should change its name, you know, it's really weird." He says.

"Your name is weird too, I mean Monday? So that means you should change it?" I ask him raising my one eyebrow.

SWEET POTATO CAKE

HOW DARE YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MR.PENIS!

"No, my name is really unique and I like it". He says.

"So, why should I change his name when he was with me till the start?" I say.

He sighs as if we is defeated.

"Ok, your wish." He says.

That's right, no one can win against Mona.

I should have a cupcake for a little celebration.

But then mommy will catch me.

Who cares? I'll put the blame on this donkey.

"Look..look, who's here!" A voice says from behind.

I and Monday turn around and see our senior, Sana, the bully.

"Look at these tiny twins, always joint by the hip." She says crossing her arms , in Italian of course.

Why can't they just speak in English, like I can understand now but very little, though by assuming by her body language she's joking about us.

Do all you want, evil of a step mother.

"It's our hips, we join it, make it one, lift one hip to see if other moves, it's none of your business." Monday says in his deadly tone.

Thank God he says it in English.

I wish Joey spoke some Italian in the show, I would have learned it.

But who am I kidding I'm like Joey in real life.

"Oops, I forgot, your sister can't speak Italian, poor girl just came from US" she says.

That's it, Pricilla.

"I'm sorry but we're just minding our own business, can you do the same, Dracula." I say.

Her eyes widen at the end.

"EXCUSE ME, DRACULA, ME, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT DRACULA IS." She shouts.

She was coming forward when her steps halted.

A shadow was bestowed upon us.

I look behind and see rest of my brother's their arms crossed face blank like white paper.

Wooooo, their scary mode is on now.

At this time I become Scooby doo.

"Do we have any problem here?" Levi asks in his scary tone.

I too want to have kind of tone. But I'm too good for them.

Since when you started praising yourself?

Since...the start, duh?

You're not that old Mona, you changed?

Perks of being living with a big family.

Come out of your thoughts now and let's see the scary cat and lion fight.

Oh yeah, sorry.

"N-no, all is good" she stutters.

I don't even know why these bullies try to bully us?

"Then scram off, we don't have time to deal with trash". Monday says, and she runs away.

"Are you guys ok?" Lin asks.

"We're fine, don't worry, don't know why she just tried to bully us." Monday says.

"She thinks that this school is hers as her father knows the principal personally." Lin shrugs.

"Then, daddy should hear, because he's one of the share holders." I say.

"She'll not trouble you, don't worry, let's go, you are missing your class." He says.

"Oh yeah, bye." I say and we both run for our class.

Flashback over.

"She should know that no matter what your brothers have got your back, always." Mommy says prettily.

I wish I was this pretty.

After our bath, we both move for our dinner where all male species are sitting.

"So, did you enjoy your bath?" Daddy asks.

"Yes it was fun." Mommy says.

"Cool, let's eat now shall we?" Jason says.

And we all dig in.

"Ah, by the way, all the older gang is not at home today." Levi says referring to our older brothers.

Anthony clears his throat and narrows his eyes at him.

"We're not that old and yes, we've some work to do, so we'll be not at home tonight." He says.

"What kind of work do you guys do at night?" I ask while eating my spaghetti.

They pause at look at me.

"Only I, Aiden and Aaron are going for some work, rest will be here." Marco says laughing.

I narrow my eyes.

Don't underestimate me, Mister.

Still I nod.

"Yeah, rest Anthony Andrew Dylan, Caleb, I are going in a hotel." Ethan says.

He says and then swallows looking around. Daddy is already looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"Non voglio alcuna notizia, domani mattina." Daddy says.

(I don't want any kind of news, tomorrow morning.)

"Yes dad." They all say.

"Can I go to the hotel with them?" Monday asks.

"Me too. I also wanna see why they're staying in a hotel when they have their own home." I say.

"No, they go in a room and do some things and I wanna try it too." Monday says to me.

"Really, then I wanna try it too, What do you guys do in a room?" I ask.

"Nothing really, it's all work darling". Dylan says in horror.

"Cancele ora, vedete cosa insegnano i vostri fratelli più piccoli?" Daddy says.

(Cancel it now, see what are you guys teaching your younger siblings?).

"Ma, padre, è da tempo che tutti abbiamo le nostre esigenze e anche quelle di queste ragazze. Vi prego solo per questa sera."

(But dad it's been a long time, we all have our needs and those girls too. Please only for tonight. )

"Potete fare cose come le faccio io con la vostra madre qui." Daddy says.

(You can do things like I do with your mother here. )

"Papi, non siamo interessati alla vostra vita sessuale e vi prego di ricordare che, tranne Mona, tutti qui conoscono l'italiano, pensate mentre parlate." Marco says.

(Dad, we're not interested in your sex life and please remember that except for Mona everyone knows Italian here, please think while you speak.)

Everyone is looking at daddy like he as grown two heads.

"Right, sorry." He says but then suddenly mommy slams her hand on the table.

"ONE DINNER! I JUST WANT ONE GODDAMN PEACEFUL DINNER, CAN YOU GUYS KEEP IT LOW HERE, I'M ACTUALLY TRYING TO RAISE CHILDREN HERE, GO TO HELL WITH TOUR NEEDS AND STUFF AND YOU ARE GOING TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH , JUST EAT YOUR FOOD OF A DINNER AND LEAVE THIS PIG OF A HOUSE!" mommy shouts.

We all look at her silently and then proceed to eat our dinner.

Damn, mommy is so wild.

"Make place for me in your car." Daddy whispers to Marco.

"Already, done." He says.

This was chaotic of a dinner.

If strawberry is called strawberry, why doesn't it has straw?

Why there is no room in mushroom?

Why Sunday comes in the weekend when it is technically the end of the weekend and Friday the start of the weekend?

Were Ross and Racheal really on a break?

Why can't I have Mr.bean's teddy?

Why can't I sleep?

I decide to shake Monday from his sleep.

"Monday, Monday, wake up." I try to wake him up but he was sleeping like he sold all his horses in the market.

I huff.

He's my twin afterall.

Let's wake others up.

From what I've heard Lin, Levi, Gab and Henry have gone for a party.

So maybe I should trouble Oliver or someone.

I move to Oliver's room and knock on his door.

Knock

"Oliver."

Knock.

"Oliver".

Knock.

"Oliver".

I say three times and the door opens by a sleepy Oliver.

"Mona, what are you doing here? Is everything okay?" He asks in his sleepy and raspy voice.

"Can I call you oil?" I ask him.

"What?" He asks.

"Can I call you Oil?" I ask again.

"Mona It's 12 in the night, can you please go and trouble Jaxon." He says and closes the door.

I shrug.

Okay.

One more sheep to go.

I knock on Jaxon's door.

Knock.

"Jaxi"

Knock

"Jaxi"

Knock

"Jaxi"

Jaxon open the door, is hair being a mess.

"Mona is everything okay?" He asks.

Before he could say anything, I barge into his room and sit on his bed.

He will not push me out.

"Can I sleep here?" I ask.

"Huh?"

"Can I sleep here?" I ask.

"Of course." He says.

"So, Can you imagine what my reaction was when I got to know that Chris was married. I mean I know he's older than me. But who doesn't have a crush on Chris, his bicep is bigger that Elizabeth's while face and is the most handsome hero ever and I--

"Let it go, let it go, let us sleep in the mid of night." He sings cutting me off.

"Whoo hoooooo" I sing frozen 2 tune.

"Mona , why are you not sleeping, it's already 2 in the night." He says.

"I just want to spend time with you." I say hugging him.

"I'm honoured but right now all I need is sleep, so please sleep." He says and closes his eyes.

All I do is stare at him.

God, his closed eyes are so pretty, his nose is just like mine.

He has a jaw that could cut anyone.

His lips are chapped though, I know Monday has the same lips.

I hope their girlfriends will be okay if they kiss them.

Can I ever have a kiss in my life?

No, maybe a peck would be fine.

I hate things with tongue.

"I can hear you think, Mona." He says, his eyes still closed.

I flinch a little.

"Can we watch Annabelle?" I ask him.

"Then you'll not be able to sleep in daylight leave in the night." He says opening his eyes.

"Baby cheeck did you by any chance had coffee?" He asks.

Oh...

I hesitate.

"May..maybe" I say.

Few hours ago

"What are you drinking, Marco?" I ask him.

"Strong coffee." He says.

"Why?" I ask.

"As I need to be awake, this coffee will help me." He says.

"Does coffee really help you to be awake?" I say.

"Uh huh, but you don't drink coffee it is not good for your body." He says and suddenly his phone rings, he looks at it.

"I gotta go, see you tomorrow, baby." He says, kissing my forehead, he walks away.

He gives the best forehead kiss though.

Can I also have coffee

No way it keep you awake.

Let's try drinking it, shall we?

Yup, if I will be awake, let's wake up other too.

Hehehe.

I take his left coffe and drink it.

"Ewww, it's soooo bitter, how can people drink bitter?" I say.

Jaxon sighs.

"Come on, up you get." He says and takes me to the kitchen.

After a while he comes with a cup in his hand.

"What's this?" I ask.

"It's tea, drink it it'll help you sleep." He says handing me the cup.

I drink it.

Hmmm, it tastes to tealy.

After that cup of tea we move to his room, for cuddle.

"Thank you and sorry Jaxon for troubling you." I say.

He smiles at me.

"It's ok, these small things make memories and I love have memories with you." He says kissing my forehead.

My eyes become heavy.

"Jaxi" I whisper.

He hums.

"If I die one day, what will you do?" I ask and my eyes closes and I drift off to sleep.

"If I die one day, what will you do?"

"Then I'll follow you there." I whisper.

My baby, wherever you go, I'll always follow you.

Remember we're family and family sticks together.

My baby tooth, she's so precious. I don't need any other person I my life as I have her and my brothers.

I love you a lot Mona, I hope you know that.

When she was gone, there was happiness in this family but nothing was true. When she came back the life of this family came back.

I don't have many memories with her as I was a small child but now I wanna make as many memories as I can, because I'm the and always will be the clingy brother of hers. I don't wanna miss any moment of her life, as I lost so many already.

She's my life. She light who came to me when I was curling myself more into the corner of the darkness.

We don't have any problem doing anything for her or for my brothers.

I will always love you with all my heart.

My Mona baby.
