First you juice the Lemon, since we're currently having a pool party with 12 people, I juiced ten lemon’s! Get the pulp out somehow, add about half the amount of water you did lemon juice, add a cup or two of sugar depending on how sweet you like it. Since Cynthia, Richie, Nancy and Shy Guy don't like it to be too sweet so I pour some lemonade into their cups now and then I add another cup of sugar and pour the rest of the lemonade into six cups! Three were small sippy cups and the other five were plastic cups with designs on it. I got a tray and set all of the cups on it, with the four with less sugar facing the outside and the others facing in. I got the tray and placed it on my shoulder, opening the sliding doors.

When you first walk out you see Potato and Nancy sitting on the porch swing, his arm was around her shoulder and she was looking at him with a weird stare while he was just smiling. I tried to hold in my laughter while I tapped my foot to get both their attention. “Earth to lovers! Your lemonade, And don't worry Nancy, I didn't add as much sugar.” I handed them both their cups, Nancy’s had sewing materials on it and potatoes had a movie plot twist that he told me before it happened. Nancy dramatically bowed and Potato showed his thanks by downing half of it in seconds, laughing I continued on.

I went down the stairs to the edge of the pool where five people sat eating sandwiches, Richie and Jane were sitting in lounge chairs. Richie had Lilah in his lap. Apparently Jane was struggling to get her to eat but Richie had no problem. He was a natural with kids, he even helped me with them when they get overwhelmed sometimes. Aria and Aliah all sat in an outdoor swing with a good amount of shade.

I handed each kid their own sippy cup. Aria’s had pink dinosaurs all over it (we call her rawria when she's angry because she's a LOUD screamer), Lilah’s had music notes on it (she loves to dance and sing), and Aliah’s had a crashed car on it (she crashes her ‘car’ into the fire pit alotttt).

Jane got a cup with a few small “vote for jane” posters on it, and Richie with a record and comb on it. “Thank you Ali!” It was like a chorus from all three kids. Jane nodded at me covering her face stuffed with sandwich and Richie grinned, face also stuffed with sandwich. I nodded my head at them all and walked to the next so they could finally finish stuffing their faces without the stress of a baby crying.

and finally, it was Gil, Lainey, Ant (Shy Guy), Cynthia, and Olivia. Ant, Laniey, Cynthia and Gil were all playing volleyball in the pool. It was a nice fair game, except for the fact that Cynthia had both Lainey and Ant on her team and was still somehow losing. I sat the tray down next to Olivia who had her feet in the water cheering the three on, and sat on the opposite side of it to chat with her. “Having fun out here?” She was quick to grab her cup of lemonade and nod while gulping it down, Olivia's cup had a pair of heels and a typewriter on it.

Cynthia out of the blue dived into me, or the water around my legs. The ball which she was trying to block landed right into the tray. With ALL OF OUR DRINKS. Falling into the pool. Almost everyone froze, except for Lainey who was making an “OOO” sound at Gil. Cynthia was fast to stand up and push the tray out of my way. “Hey baby-” I snapped my head to her, making her jump a bit. “uhh- uh why don't we go back inside and make you a drink?” I paused, opening my mouth and closing it before picking my cup out of the water filled with chemicals and standing up. Cynthia got out with me. Giving Gil a ‘I just saved your ass’ look and the time to get all of the cups out of the water, placing them back on the tray.

Inside is where it's safe, inside is where I don't murder Gil. Cynthia wiped her legs down, and came inside right after me. She was quick to grab my waist, pull me in and kiss me softly. “Alias..Princess you can't be that mad because Gil accidentally did something..” I looked at her with an eyebrow raised. “Yes I can.” She frowned back, knowingly. “No you can’t- what's wrong Princess…tell me?” she pressed kisses to my neck. They weren’t sexual, they were soft and made my heart flutter. “I guess I'm just not used to someone else handling my sisters..I mean Richie is doing an amazing job, He can handle the terrible twos and the three year old! I just- feel like a terrible sister-” She put a hand on my cheek. “Baby you are the best sister- And I mean that! You're practically their mother. I mean you cook, you clean, bathe and take them to school. You take the role of your mother everyday- never doubt yourself on that again.” Cynthia rubbed my cheek softly. “Thank you Cyn..ya know- if you want we could go and “Make a baby” upstairs?”

Cynthia licked her lips and started to kiss me excitedly, making me giggle. Gil opened the sliding doors pausing at the sight of us, his jaw dropped. “YOU TWO-” I quickly grabbed the cup of water from the counter and threw it in his face. “Damn Gil! Tell everyone why don't you?!” I put the cup down and walked backwards slowly. “Tell. No one.” Grabbing Cynthia's hand we backed out of the room running up the stairs and into my room locking the door behind us..

Alot happened that night. The main gist is Cynthia has the fingers of a magician, and she is not afraid to use them. As for me, that's for a different day. But I think the most important part here? After we were showered, we went back down, ate smores with everyone after Ant made a fire! It was nice, although I'm pretty sure Gil is gonna pop this secret soon. But it's fine, we were gonna tell everyone anyways, but for now. It's more fun hiding it.
