The next morning, Kris got up early. He was very quiet, making sure to not wake up Lena. He knew that Lena likes to sleep in when she has no work or anything big plan for the morning.
"Get your beauty sleep. I"ll see you tomorrow." He kissed Lena before he left.
"Don"t get r*pe." Lena yelled at him as he got off the bed.
"Woah... what kind of good morning blessing is that?" Kris laughed.
"You"ll be going back to the mansion... I was just giving you a good warning, baby." Lena sat up on the bed. "There are lots of hungry women."
"And yes, lots of hungry women and MEN... so let"s keep our pants on and locked." Kris smiled at her before leaving.
After Kris left, Lena stayed lazy for a few more hours before waking up. Her grandparents would be arriving here by the afternoon so Lena had to go back home. Her cousins would also be at the house so she will be coming with a big family.
Lena got dressed and packed some of her items that she got for her family. She drove back home. Lena thought that they would arrive later... but she knew they were already home when the house was packed with park cars outside.
Before she could even park the car, she saw the kids running outside to come to greet her.
"MOMMY LENA!!!"
"Mommy!!"
"Mom!"
"Oh G.o.d..." Lena shook her head as she got out of the car. The triplets immediately jumped on Lena, hugging her leg, and grabbing her hand. "I"ve told you multiple times... I am not your mother."
"We like you more than mom!" They all spoke in sync.
Lena could see her Aunt Ma coming out of the mansion.
"I swear you"re going to murder me someday for stealing your kids away from you." Lena walked to greet her as the boys trailed behind her.
"They"re a pain. If you want then, they are free." Aunt Ma joked. "C"mon, help Lena carry her items inside and go back to play with your grandmother."
The boys all fought over who was going to carry Lena"s bag inside until Lena divided up the items for each of them. They all ran inside as both she and Aunt Ma laughed.
"You sure you want a big family?" She asked Lena.
"Yes, I am sure. They"re a pain, but I can tell you and Uncle are very happy."
"I don"t see your man with you."
"Well, you all will see him tomorrow."
"Everyone here?" Lena asked.
"Well, as soon as we landed, Kevin took a taxi and went off somewhere. It"s like he can"t even wait to come and live here for college."
"Maybe he has a girlfriend here?" They both walked inside as the chatted some more.
"I hope not."
"Don"t worry. I"ll talk to him about it." Lena a.s.sured her Aunt.
Kevin was never much of a trouble maker. There must be a reason he had been rebellious lately. Lena had always been rebellious when she was young... so she did not know if Keven was just going through a phase.
"MaMo!" Lena hugged her uncles. She had always called them that so she kept the calling them still. "Where"s grandma and grandpa?"
"They"re probably scolding your dad about why there is not wedding date set up yet for you."
"What? I swear there is not a single day where I can go without someone old telling me about marriage."
"Old?! Who"s calling me old." Grandpa Shen grunted roll his wheelchair. "I am Old, that"s why you should get married."
"Wait? Mommy Lena is getting married?"
"NO!!" Jonah started to cry.
The triplets, Jonah, John, Joel, had started calling Lena mommy since that one summer she babysat them. They just became so attached to her that they continued to call her that.
"I am not getting married..." Lena consoled the little kid. "Not soon anyway."
"NO...." Jonah continued to cry and the other two started crying too.
"Kids... why are you crying? You didn"t cry when I was engaged."
"That"s because we didn"t like Candy Andy." John replied.
"Yeah, he was not fun." Joel added.
Uncle Ma coughed. He totally did not give his children the idea of the nickname.
"Okay, can you all just stop crying? I will go tattle to Kevin and he will not be nice like me." Lena threatened.
The triplets were very hard to handle, but only their brother Kevin can really make them obedient. Once Lena said that they immediately stopped crying and wiped their fake tears.
"Will you stop loving us when you have your own kid?" Jonah asked.
Lena lifted up her hand in a motion like she was dumbstruck. Everyone else in the room just laughed instead.
"I think it"s your nap time, isn"t it?" Lena looked at Aunt Ma to confirm and she nodded.
"NOOO!!" They all whined.
"Kevin is going to be home soon and he won"t give you the presents he bought if he knew you did not have your nap." Lena used the Kevin card again. "I"ll take them to sleep."
They all pouted and went upstairs with Lena. Lena also just want to avoid the big crowd. This, after all, is the great and wonderful family she loves.
"Dad, Lena will get married whenever she wants to. You"re not dying anytime soon. Pretending to sit in your wheelchair won"t help too." Shen Mo pointed out.
Grandpa Shen cleared his throat. His d*mn son dared give him away. He wheeled his chair and went back out to the garden. He"ll give that Li boy a piece of his mind tomorrow.
Lena told the boys a short story until they fell asleep. They went down really fast, probably because of the airplane ride. Because her grandparents are old, they can"t be in the car for a long time so the airplane was better transportation when they come to City A.
Lena quietly got off the bed, but one of the boys were not asleep.
"Does he like kids?" Joel whispered to Lena.
"Of course." Lena patted him on the head. "And he..." Lena tried to think about something positive about Kris that would make the triplets like him. She does not exactly sure Kris was even a kid person....
"Kevin says he"s a big bad wolf."
"Nope." Lena shook her head. "He"s just like a superhero in a big bad wolf costume so he can hide with the bad guys."
"Will he give us piggybacks?"
"Yeah! He"ll give us all piggybacks. But now, you need to go to sleep or you won"t grow up tall and handsome like Kevin, okay?"
"Okay."
