*Part two of the Shepherd-Aguiar sleep over! Thank you to BrianBadgerMay for helping me write this! Enjoy! Love • Bree 🩷*

The next morning, Benji, Maxwell and the twins Arya and Oliver are sleeping in, while Coralei, River, Averie, Theodore, Eden and Harlow are just up and are downstairs in the playroom.

River is talking with Theodore about animals, like the cats, rabbits and guinea pigs they have.

"We only have doggies!" Theodore giggles. "Astrid! Here!" He calls, and the dog comes over.

Astrid wags her tail and sits, letting both kids pet her.

Coralei is brushing her hair out, and chatting to Averie, Harlow and Eden.

Meanwhile, Luca runs into RJ and Will's bedroom. Both men are still asleep.

"Daddy! Papi!" Luca whispers, as to not wake Henry. Luci is awake, watching her big brother.

RJ yawns as he turns to face his son. "What is it?" He asks, voice groggy.

"Tengo hambre, ¿qué hay para desayunar? (I'm hungry, what's for breakfast?)" Luca asks, preferring to speak in Spanish if it's just RJ talking.

"No lo sé.. ¿Qué quieres? (I don't know, what do you want?)" RJ asks quietly.

"Huevos y fruta." Luca requests eggs and fruit, climbing next to Will.

"Maybe I can make waffles too." RJ smiles and gets out of bed, getting dressed in the bathroom.

Luca slides off the master bed and runs over to Luci's bed.

"Hi, Luci!" Luca says as he hugs as kisses his little sister, causing Luci to smile.

"Hi, Wuccy!" Luci says, trying her best to say Luca's name!

Will wakes up and smiles at Luci and Luca sitting together on her bed. Luca had the hardest time with Luci's arrival to the family because she took a lot of Will and RJ's time that wasn't used to take care of the twins.

But thankfully, Luca's jealousy has gone away and he's getting closer to Luci everyday.

"Pa pi!" Luci calls for RJ with a smile.

"Hi, Luci Goose! I hear you! Did you sleep well, baby?" RJ asks Luci as he picks her up.

"Daddy is awake too! Hi, Daddy!" Luca says, running up to the master bed and crawls up on it to sit next to Will.

"Hi, Luca. And hi, Luci!" Will says with a grin.

"Da da!" Luci calls for Will with a smile.

"Yeah! That's Daddy!" RJ says, pointing at Will.

"Hi, Luci! You are talking so much!" Will says with a big smile.

"Henry wake?" Luca asks Will as he crawls over to the bassinet and looks at his baby brother.

Henry is wrapped in a green swaddle and is still sleeping but is starting to stir awake.

"It looks like he's waking up. See how he's wiggling around?" Will says and Luca nods.

Henry blinks his eyes open, squinting at the faint sunlight in the room.

"Buenos días, Henry!" Luca says good morning sweetly.

"He can't say it back yet, but he hears you! See him looking at you?" Will asks.

"Yeah!" Luca smiles. He's in a good mood and is starting to appreciate having a baby brother.

"Be bee!" Lucille points at Henry.

"Yes, that's Henry waking up!" RJ says to Lucille.

Will goes and gets dressed, then gets Henry and Luci dressed also. Luca is already dressed.

"Let's go see who else is awake. I can hear some of them talking!" RJ goes out of the room, Luci in his arms.

"Wake!" Luci says happily.

Will soon follows with Luca and Henry, seeing all the young kids talk to each other, and now even Benji and Maxwell are there too.

Benji, Maxwell, Coralei, River, Averie, Theodore, Harlow and Eden are dressed and ready for the day ahead!

*Harlow, Luca, Luci, and Henry's outfits*

"Good morning, everyone! Do you all want waffles, eggs and fruit for breakfast?" Will says with some energy. He's tired.

"YES!" The younger kids yell, and the older ones agree.

"I'll go make some!" RJ laughs.

"Mister RJ, can I help you?" Maxwell asks, as he likes to help cook at home.

"Sure! Benji, do you wanna help too? You make pretty good pancakes!" RJ says as Benji smiles.

"Sure!" Benji says with a big smile.

Will places Henry in his swing and RJ sits Luci on the floor with River, Coralei, Averie, Theodore, Harlow, Luca and Eden.

"Looks like the twins are up!" Will says as he iPhone dings, indicating movement in the twins bedroom.

"Do you want me to get them?" RJ asks Will.

"I'll go get them," Will says, giving RJ a quick kiss before he starts going to the twins' bedroom. "I don't mind."

RJ smiles and starts getting everything out for pancakes and waffles, Benji and Maxwell being a big help as they've already started making the batters.

"Do you like cooking?" RJ asks Max happily.

"I do! I like making breakfast for everyone!" Maxwell agrees.

Will opens the door to the bedroom and sees two happy babies, babbling and talking to him.

"Good morning! Hello! Yes, I see that lion!" Will greets as Arya holds up a soft toy.

"You two must be going through a growth spurt, huh? You two slept all night!" Will says as he grabs the outfits he picked out the night before for the twins and two fresh diapers.

"Da da!" Arya says, clapping her hands happily.

"Hi, Arya!" Will says, kissing Arya's forehead.

"Daaaaa!" Oliver yells loudly at Will with a cheeky smile.

"And hi, Oliver!" Will says, kissing Oliver's forehead.

"Let's get dressed and ready for the day! Everyone is waiting for you two! We are going to have a yummy breakfast! Mmm!" Will says to Arya and Oliver with a big smile.

"Boooo!" Oliver holds up his blue shirt, while Arya is getting changed first. He smiles back at Will.

"Yeah! That's blue!" Will laughs and gets Oliver changed.

*Arya and Oliver's outfits*

The three of them go to the kitchen and dining room, Will setting the twins in their highchairs.

Arya and Oliver smile at Maxwell when he notices them and gives the two some cut-up strawberries.

"Tristan loves strawberries too!" Max says gently.

Benji finishes flipping and cooking the pancakes, and RJ puts some eggs on a platter and waffles on plates for those who wanted them.

Some kids choose waffles, and some pancakes. Luca puts blueberries on his waffle.

"These look and smell so great!" Coralei says as she puts maple syrup on pancakes.

"They do! I like this breakfast!" Averie nods.

Everybody makes sure to get some fresh fruit as well, which includes bananas, melon, and blackberries.

Will, RJ, Benji, Maxwell, Coralei, River, Averie, Theodore, Eden, Harlow, Luca, Luci, Arya and Oliver all happily finish eating their breakfast together!

While Benji, Maxwell, Coralei, River, Averie, Theodore, Eden and Harlow help RJ clean up, Will feeds Henry his bottle!

"Papi! Here's my plwate!" Luca says, proudly handing RJ his breakfast plate.

"Thank you, Luca!" RJ says with a cheeky grin.

"Ba ba!" Luci says to Will as she smiles at Henry.

"Yeah! Henry is drinking from his bottle!" Will says Luci smiles.

Benji fills Dobby, Astrid Sammy's bowls with dog food while Theodore fills up the water bowls.

All the kids who were still in pajamas now go get dressed, then play some games now that they have some time. Luci is getting more used to noise, but covers her ears with her hands and watches everything.

RJ takes Arya and Oliver out of their seats and puts them on the floor near the older kids to play too. He then holds Luci to help her stay calm, and because she loves just being held.

*Benji, Maxwell, Coralei, River, Averie, Theodore and Eden's outfits*

"Well, first sleepover. Success?" RJ asks Will happily.

"I think so! The kids all slept so well, and they're all having fun.. Success." Will grins, patting Henry on the back when he finishes his bottle.

Averie, Coralei, Eden, Harlow and River all begin to dance to some music causing them to laugh and smile.

"Baaa!" Luci says as she points at Averie dancing.

"Yeah! Averie is dancing isn't she?" RJ says as Averie dances around.

Luci bounces in RJ's lap and claps her hands to the music.

RJ lightly bounces his leg in time with Luci, smiling as well.

Luca, Oliver and Arya are all playing with some toy blocks, when the doorbell rings. Sammy and Astrid run over and bark at the noise.

"I get it!" Luca runs to the door. Will follows him, making sure he asks who it is first, which he does.

"Joey and Daniel! And Caspian and Emersyn!" Daniel answers, stepping inside when the door opens.

"Hello! Did everything go well?" Joey asks Will and grins, holding Caspian.

"It did! They're just dancing and playing games." Will nods.

"Ah, yes. Aspen, Everett and Haven are in the car waiting while Luna, Ash, Bria, Tristan, Sienna and Koa are home with my mom." Daniel mentions.

"Aw, that's good! I'm glad they had fun!" Joey says as he bounces Caspian in his arms.

Will, Luca, Joey, Caspian, Daniel and Emersyn all walk into the living room.

"Aaa!" Luci yells as she waves at Will, Luca, Joey, Caspian, Daniel and Emersyn.

"Are you saying hello?" RJ says as Luci smiles ear to ear.

"Ba baaaa!" Emersyn says as she smiles at Luci.

Caspian waves at Luci, smiling a bit. He was mainly distracted by the noises going on around him.

"Daddy! Papa!" River says as he runs and hugs his parents.

"Hey, Riv! Are you guys ready to go?" Daniel gives River a side hug, crouching down.

"Awlmost!" River says, looking at his siblings and friends for a second.

"Ra ra ra!" Emersyn says to River, happy to see her brother.

"I'm happy to see you too!" River gives his baby sister a hug.

"Hi, Daddy and Papa!" Eden says as she runs over to Joey and Daniel.

"Hi, Edie!" Joey says with a big smile at Eden.

"Where's Max?" Daniel asks Eden with a smile.

"Upstairs playing a game with Benji!" Eden says as she happily jumps around.

"Do you want to go get him?" Joey asks Eden.

"Yeah! I can do it!" Eden runs upstairs, going quite fast, clearly she has a lot of energy.

Eden tells Maxwell that their Daddy and Papa are here, and to come say goodbye to the others.

River is back to talking with Theodore, also Averie and Coralei, they giggle about something.

"I don't know if they're usually ever this energetic in the mornings. Especially not Max." Daniel mentions as Maxwell hurries down the staircase with Benji.

"I know. They're fueled by excitement and the breakfast they enjoyed." RJ laughs.

Just then, Eden and Maxwell walk downstairs together. Benji following close behind.

"Hey guys!" Joey says with a big smile.

"Hey! And hello, babies!" Maxwell says to Emersyn and Caspian,  patting their little heads.

"Ma maaaa!" Caspian yells happily, leaning over to his brother.

Maxwell holds the baby, making funny faces at him, which gets laughter.

"Okay, it's time to go back home! Come on, kids." Joey calls River and Eden.

"Awww!" Eden and River both say, sad that they have to go home.

"It's okay! You'll see everyone at school tomorrow!" Daniel says with a smile.

"Oh, yeah! I forgot." Eden giggles.

"Bye! We had so much fun!" River and Maxwell say to Will and RJ and their kids.

"Yeah! See you later!" Eden adds.

"Goodbye! You were so fun to have over!" Will says back.

Joey, Daniel, and their five kids wave and leave, happy looks on their faces

Will, RJ, Benji, Coralei, Averie, Theodore, Harlow, Luca, Luci, Arya, Oliver and Henry all had a fun sleepover with friends! :)
