"Sebastian!" I yelled frowning at the interview last Christmas morning. "What?" He asked groggily. "You son of a bitch!" I murmured as Mom passed by. "Emily, just tell me what you want." He demanded. "Get that interview down! I said a lot of stupid shit." I replied showing him the video of the interview. "Sorry, I didn't want to be alone in there so I suggested that. Emily, I'm really sorry." Sebastian whispered hugging me. I chuckled hugging him back. "Oi! You two, come on. We still have to shop for food." Bradley scolded. I smiled and we pulled away and got our coats. "Mom!" Arthur yelled running down the stairs and tripping.
I quickly ran and caught him before he fell. "For a ten year old, you're clumsy." I commented as the twins slowly went down the stairs hand in hand. I smiled and carried both as I helped Arthur up. "Can we come with?" Arthur asked smirking. "Arthur, you just want a new game for the Xbox, right?" I asked seeing through his act. He groaned as Bradley took Kieren. "Yes, fine, but I could still help." He pointed out. I smiled and put an arm around him. "Let's go then! Sebby, catch!" I tossed my keys towards him as Naomi played with my hair. I smiled and we all got in the car.
"Are the power couple still asleep?" Bradley asked as Kieren played with Naomi. "Not exactly. They left earlier this morning because Dad got called to work so the three of us are celebrating New Year." Sebastian replied and drove for the Mall. The radio made the snoring of the twin's lesser. "Art, what time did you let these to fall asleep?" I asked raising a brow. He chuckled nervously. "Ah! Baba Yaga!" Naomi yelled clutching on my collar. I frowned raising a brow at Arthur. "Alright, alright. We watched... Lost Girl." He mumbled avoiding eye contact. "Well, what do you know? Our ten year old isn't as innocent as he says he is." Sebastian teased. "Sebastian!" I scolded. He raised a hand in surrender. "Art, how many episodes did you watch?" I asked frowning. "Just two, I promise. Baba Yaga and the episode after that." Arthur replied feeling guilty. "It was in the player and these two insisted." Arthur mumbled. I smiled at how adorable he was. "Arthur, I'm not mad, don't worry. I'm just worried that their innocence and yours would get tainted too early." I stated patting his head. He smiled hugging me.
"Alright, we're here. We'll get the kids with us." Sebastian said reaching for shaking Naomi. I kissed her forehead and gave her to Sebastian. "See you guys later!" I hollered as Arthur pulled me towards the toy store. "Mom, look!" Arthur exclaimed in horror as he pointed at a cut-out of Chris in the Captain America costume saying the video game is coming soon. Damn, Chris looked good. Arthur was shaking. I squatted in front of him. "Shhh... It's alright. Just a cut-out, nothing more." I whispered kissing his forehead. He smiled nodding. "Good morning, ma'am, sir. Happy New Year! What can I help you with?" I glanced at her name tag. "Happy New Year too, Annie. Can I ask a Tekken, Call of Duty, and a Dance Revo disc, please?" I asked as Arthur started to drool at the games. "Wipe your mouth, love. Your drool is showing." I teased. He frowned wiping his mouth. "I'm bringing you clothes shopping too, yeah?" I asked smirking. He groaned as I payed for the games. "You better be a good boy since I'm buying these for you." I stated pulling him towards the clothes shops. "Mom, surpernatural shop! Pleaseeeee!" He begged. I smirked and we went in the Supernatural shop. I smiled as he got the Castiel coat, 2 Samulets, some posters shirts and the figurines.
"I know you wanted them. Let's go get me and the twins some real clothes." He smirked and pulled me away as we ran towards the clothes shops. He chose three shirts, two plaid. He got two jeans, blue and pink. He also got three pairs of sneakers and a pair of boots. He then pulled me towards the children's clothing and we bought the twins clothes. We bought two floral dresses for Naomi and two adorable pairs of doll shoes with the shades of pink. The phone vibrated continuously as we paid for the clothes.
"Emily.
Where are you? *Bradley*
Going down to the Supermarket. You?
Go to the parking lot. We're done shopping. *Bradley*
How are my twins?
Asleep, come on! *Sebastian*
Alright, just wa-Ow! Shit, so sorry!"
I dropped the bag of clothes and fell back. "Mom!" He exclaimed running back towards me. "Shit! I'm so sorry!" An adorable voice apologized. I shook my head and looked up to see a familiar face. "It's alright. I should be the one apologizing. I wasn't looking where I was going." I replied getting the bags from the floor. "Let me help you." He helped me up and got the other bags. "Sir, I'm so sorry." Arthur got some of the bags from him. "How are you related to her?" The man smiled handing the other bags to me. "She's my mother." Arthur replied smiling. "I'll go ahead, alright Mom?" He asked smirking. I frowned, but nodded. He walked away smiling. "Good kid you have there." The man commented. I must admit, he is dashing and handsome. His cheek bones looks so sharp, but his whole being screams adorable. "I'm sorry. I didn't even introduce myself, Tom Hiddleston. I insist on taking you to your destination for any further injuries I caused." He said smiling. I ended the call and kept my phone in my pocket."Tom, it's fine. I do not need any assisting. I'm perfectly fine. See?" I asked twirling for him. His smiled brightened. "I really have to insist on accompanying you to your destination." He stated. I sighed and smile at him. "Let's go then." I said walking down the stairs. "You're dress looks adorable." He commented staring at my dress. I smiled and stopped. He's too kind. "Thank you. You look dashing in that suit." I replied smirking. He smiled and we exchanged comments and stories until we reached a few blocks from where the car was parked.
"I'm off here, it was wonderful talking with you, Tom." I said kissing his cheek. "Like-wise.." He trailed off for me to state my name. "Emily!" Bradley called. "I have to go, I'm so sorry. See you around!" I exclaimed pulling away and brisk walked towards the car. "So... Tom Hiddlestone, huh?" Sebastian raised a teasing brow. I rolled my eyes and got in the car. "Drive." I mumbled as Arthur leaned on my shoulder. Bradley gave Kieren to me and Sebastian gave Naomi to Bradley. I smiled closing my eyes. Wait, Tom Hiddleston and that familiar face... I can't think of anything to associate him with. I opened y eyes to see we're in front of the house already.
4:50pm
Arthur woke up yawning. "We're here." I whispered gently pulling away. He sat up and we walked out the door. "Emily! Come in here this instant!" Mom hollered. I cringed as Kieren frowned leaning into me more. I smiled kissing his forehead. Arthur sighed and got out helping me with the bags. We walked in and Mom pulled me towards the living room.
Tom Hiddleston spotted with unknown girl all over each other. Who is this girl? Does Tom know this girl?
"Tell me how you ended up under him?" She asked frowning. "I... I... Uhm... Mom... Mother, I wasn't looking at my path and I bumped into him." I replied smiling nervously. "Look how flustered she is! Did you get that?" Mom exclaimed pausing the telly. "Yup, I got it." Dad said snapping photos of me. "Imagine how much we're gonna get selling this online!" Mom exclaimed smirking. "No! Oh! gosh! No, please!" I begged as Kieren started to wake up. "Emily! Is this the Tom Hiddleston you bumped into earlier?" Alana asked showing me a picture of him. "Yes! Oh my! I'll be working with him in the Avengers movie!" I exclaimed blinking a few times. "Emily, go rest. We'll wake you up before New Year. Now, go." Mum ordered pointing to my room. I sighed and put Kieren down. "Play nice. Mommy needs rest." I whispered kissing their foreheads and quickly walked up the stairs towards my room. I hate thinking too much! I need sleep. As soon as I got to my room and took my shoes off, I laid in bed and was fast asleep.

12:00am
"Mom, wake up! It's New Year and Uncle Colin's birthday!" Kieren exclaimed jumping on the bed. I groaned and opened my eyes to see even Naomi was jumping on my bed. "Why are you jumping?" I rubbed my eyes yawning. "Grandpa said that if we jumped on the bed, we'd grow taller!" Naomi exclaimed smiling. I laughed getting off the bed as the twins jumped. I changed into my pjs and carried the twins down the stairs after their jumping spree. "Emily! Come 'ere!" Bradley called. I smiled and walked towards the living room to see everyone surrounding the laptop. "Morning, Emily!" He exclaimed smiling sleepily. "Happy Birthday, Colin. Did they wake you?" I asked setting the twins on the floor. "Not really, but thank you. What are you lot having for New Year's eve?" He yawned rubbing his eye. "Wait, we'll carry the laptop towards the kitchen." I replied carrying the thing and walked towards the kitchen. "Hi, Mrs. Stan." Colin called. Mom waved as she handed each one food. "They look so delicious." Colin mumbled. I chuckled as he stared at the food. I handed the laptop to Bradley and they started to talk. Sometimes, I wonder if both are really straight, you know? Anyway, everyone ate and well, my children dared me to dance with them. I agreed and we played Dance Revolution on the Xbox. "Damn, Emily, you're a natural!" Sebastian teased. I stuck my tongue out to him and got scolded by mom. Everything was fine then we all wrote our New Years Resolutions. Dad would read them.
1:15am
"Okey, let's start with this one.
I want to marry the girl I love, someday.
I want to marry the man I love, someday.
We know who these are." Dad teased as we looked at Sebastian and Alana. They blushed smiling.
"Next one says,
I want to finally ask the person I like to be mine." Dad frowned. "Bradley, is that yours?" I asked smirking. He blushed and nodded.
"That one I want to see. Next one,
I need to lessen shopping and spend more time with my honey.
Sweetheart, you didn't have too." Dad said kissing Mom. "Ew, children in the room." Bradley teased. They pulled away smiling.
"Alright next one... Oh, I think I know who these are.
I need to protect Emily from anyone who wants to court her.
I wanna beat anyone who hurts mom.
I wanna make mom feel better.
Three musketeers, this is a more of a I want list, not a New Year's Resolution, but we can consider it for now." Dad teased smiling.
"And the last one...
Never ever fall in-love with an actor again.
Emily, this could be good, but you can't help it if your heart starts going crazy for another man. Just be careful who the man is, alright?" Dad asked opening his arms for me. I smiled and hugged him. "Alright, that concludes our New Year's eve. See you all tomorrow! Sebastian, you have tapping at five later and Bradley, we heard your conversation with Colin and it seems urgent that you go back to Europe so you'll be getting the first flight out which is in 8 hours. You still have time to pack. Alana we're gonna give you a ride home and we have to get back on our business early anyway. Emily, stay and bring your brother to his tapping, ok?" Mom asked hopeful. "Yes, I'll stay with him. He has to wake me up though." I said carrying Naomi in my arms as she fell asleep. "You three are staying with me tonight." I stated walking towards the stairs. "Yes!" Kieren exclaimed. I smiled and hollered a goodnight to all. Arthur followed after me with a groan. He doesn't like staying with me anymore since he consider's himself that grown up.
1:49am
We got in my room and pulled the extension of the bed in the left side and the extension bed of the couch for Arthur. We gently laid the twins in the extension of the bed and put a comforter over them. I smiled and kissed their foreheads. "Happy new year, mom." They mumble in union making me smile. I turned to Arthur who was removing his shoes. "Here, use these." I stated handing me a comforter and a pillow. I always have extras under my bed. I yawned and get in bed laying my head on the soft heavenly pillow. "Mom... Can you sing me a song?" Arthur asked. I smiled and walked towards him, kneeling beside him. "I thought you we're too old for those kinds of things." I teased pinching his nose. He smiled and pulled away. "Please." He begged. I smiled and gave in.
"Carry On My Wayward Son
There'll be peace when you're gone
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more." I whispered kissing his forehead as he fell asleep. I smiled and walked back to my bed feeling contented at the moment and I actually forgot my problems as I slept into a dreamless sleep.
