Chapter 28
Ashley's POV:
Nolan and I both walked in the house hand in hand and saw that Ashton and the others were in the living room. They all turned their heads to us and I saw Ashton look down at our hands and smiled.
"Finally official, aye?" He asked, I blushed and looked up at Nolan. He was smiling down at me and then looked at Ashton.
"She finally gave me a chance." He said with a proud smile, he let go of my hand and wrapped his arm around my waist. I looked around and noticed that Morgan, Nathan, and Dale weren't here.
"Hey, where's Morgan, Nathan, and Dale?" I asked them, Ashton and Shane laughed and they pointed up the stairs.
"Morgan forced them to play with her barbies. You know Dale, he's lovestruck and would do anything for Morgan and he just dragged Nathan with him." Shane said through his fits of laughter. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Dale is already pretty whipped for a 9 year old. Wait, Morgan still plays with Barbies? I didn't know kids these days still played with dolls." I said, they all laughed and I just chuckled again.
"Do you guys want to order some food or do you wanna cook?" I asked them leaning into Nolan.
"Definitely order food." Ashton said, Shaun shot up form the couch taking his attention off the show he was watching and looked up me.
"Oooohhhh can we order Mcdonalds?" He asked, I smiled and looked at the others for their approval, they shrugged their shoulders and I looked up at Nolan. He smiled down at me and nodded his head.
"McDonalds sounds good to me." He said, I nodded my head and looked at Ashton.
"Can you go order the food? I'm gonna go change into something more comfortable." I asked him, he nodded his head and went to the kitchen. I looked at at Nolan and asked him to look after Shane and Shaun, he nodded his head and kissed my forehead.
"This is weird seeing you guys all lovey dovey, this is gonna take a lot of getting used to." Shane said shuddering a bit making me roll my eyes and Nolan chuckle.
"Whatever you big lump, I'm going up. Please behave." I said pointing to the three of them. They all laughed and I just rolled my eyes once again.
"When did I ever not behave?" Nolan asked crossing his arms over his chest, I just raised an eyebrow at him and placed my hands on my hips.
"Okay Okay, so there were a few times." He said with a pout, I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"I'm gonna go up, Nolan." I said, he nodded his head and I turned away from him and turned to the stairs. I walked up and went to my room, I then walked into my closet and got some leggings and a baggy shirt. I pulled my hair up in a messy bun and then washed my face to feel refreshed. When I felt prepared enough, I walked out of my room and decided to check on the kids.
I walked over to Nathan's room and knocked on the door, I heard a faint 'come in', and walked in the door to see Nathan and Dale sitting down on the floor and Morgan standing up looking like she was scolding at them.
"What happened here? Are you guys okay?" I asked, Morgan looked at me and seemed glad to see me because she ran over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face in my stomach.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked as she started sobbing, I looked at the two boys and saw Dale glaring at Nathan.
"Boys, what happened?" I asked them in a stern voice, Nathan looked like he wasn't going to talk any time soon and so I looked at Dale and gave him a pointed look.
"What happened?" I asked once again, rubbing Morgan's back trying to comfort her.
"Nathan decided to be a jerk and said that he didn't wanna play anymore and that Morgan had to get out. He decided to drag me along and say that I didn't want to play anymore either when the truth is I still wanna play with Morgan." Dale explained, Morgan's sobs toned down and she looked up at me and raised her arms indicating me to carry her.
I know that she's like 9, but she's really small. Just like how Ashton and I were when we were little. I remember Mom carrying us around all the time because we were really clingy to her. Seems like being small children run in our family. I looked down at Morgan and smiled, I lift her in my arms and she wrapped her arms around my waist and her arms around my neck burying her face in the crook of my neck in the process.
"Nathan, what you did was wrong. Morgan's your cousin, you should always make her feel welcomed here. I told you guys to be nice. Now, I'm gonna take Morgan downstairs, you guys are welcomed to join us if you'd like, but you have to apologise to Morgan." I said to them, they both looked down and nodded their heads.
"We're sorry, Morgan." They both said, Morgan took her face away from my neck and looked at them.
"It's okay, but I don't really want to talk to you both right now. Ash, can we go down now?" She asked me, I sighed and nodded my head. I looked at the two boys one more time and walked out the room. I walked down the stairs with Morgan clinging onto me and walked into the living room. I saw that Shaun was sleeping on Nolan's lap and Shane and Ashton were watching tv. They noticed my presence and Nolan's head snapped in my direction and gave me a smile. Shane's gaze turned to Morgan and he shot up from his position and walked over to me.
"Mo, what's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked Morgan, she lifted her head from my neck and look at Shane with teary eyes. She reached out to him and he got her in his arms and started rubbing her back and whispering soothing words in her ear. I sighed and walked over to Nolan and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"Everything alright?" He asked
"Yeah, just a little fight with the kids." I said, he nodded his head and kissed my temple.
"Ashton ordered the food, it should be here soon." He said, I nodded and sighed in content.

We finished eating dinner and Ashton said that he would put the kids to bed and we could go ahead and get some sleep. I literally have the best twin brother in the world. Nolan and I both went to my room and I sat on my bed and sighed.
"I'm tired." I said followed by a yawn. He chuckled and sat beside me.
"Why don't we put on a movie and watch till we fall asleep?" He suggested, I nodded my head and he smiled at me and kissed my cheek. He stood up to get the remote control of the TV and went to close the lights. I got comfortable in bed and he got in beside me.
"So what do you wanna watch?" He asked me, I let out another yawn and he chuckled beside me.
"Go ahead, I'll choose a movie. How does Despicable me sound to you?" He asked, I gave him a sleepy smile and nodded my head. He played the movie and I felt myself drifting off to sleep, Nolan noticed and kissed my forehead.
"Goodnight, Le Le." He said, I smiled and drifted off to sleep.
