Chappo's Little Sister

Delicate

Timeskip two days:

It was around seven in the morning and you were laying on your bed with Annie on your chest whilst Harrison entertained and made Ethan and Arthur breakfast in the other room. She had her miniscule hands clasped around your finger and her big eyes gazed up at yours.

"You know something exciting little miss Annie Rae, later we're all going to go to the beach and meet some of your uncles and maybe auntie Jules!" You told her. You could tell that the sound of your voice comforted her because she turned her head to the side and nuzzled down into your t-shirt.

"Mumma, baby Annie awake?" Ethan enquired, energetically bounding into your bedroom.

Over the last day or so, the only thing the boys had really struggled with was understanding that their little sister was indeed a baby who cried, ate and sleep a lot at the moment.

When she had been napping yesturday, you continued to find one or sometimes both of the boys peering into her crib, waiting for her to wake up and 'play' with them. It was a good thing that they counted talking to her or showing her toys as 'playing.'

"She is, Ethan I've got a special big brother job for you to do." You informed him, immediately eliciting a huge grin from the toddler.

"I give baby bath?" He requested.

You and Harrison had given Annie a bath the morning after you came home and the twins were desperate to assist which wasn't surprising considering how much they loved having baths.

Fortunately,  Chappo stayed at the apartment to help out and distract them.  You felt bad that he was doing so much but whenever you tried to tell him that he didn't have to stay and could go home and catch a break, he would just reply by expressing how much he loved spending more time with you, Harrison, his Nephews and now his niece.

"Maybe when she's a little bit older sweetie, but now, would you like to go and choose Annie's outfit from her box over there?" You offered, pointing to a plastic box next to your daughter's crib.

Given that you didn't know if she was to be a boy or a girl, you hadn't purchased loads of clothes for Annie, but you were planning on going on a baby shopping haul later in the week.

"This one!" Ethan announced, holding up a white animal onsie after quickly rifling through the baby grows.

Timeskip 3 hours:

When you walked into the tower, holding the twin's hands as Harrison followed with his daughter in her carrier, you were met by the sound of all of the lifeguards arguing over something- and you were pretty sure what.

"Girls! Girls! You're all pretty, now there is a much better way to decide who gets to hold her first than arguing..."

"Marley!" They all shouted simultaneously before you were consumed by around twenty or so pairs of arms.

"Hutz!" They greeted your husband but they didn't envelop him with hugs in the same way they did to you, given that he was carrying a tiny and delicate infant.

"She is so so small." Maxi observed just as the twins had in the hospital.

"She is adorable. In what way are we deciding who gets to hold her first?" Jesse enquired.

"We knew you would all be arguing so we wrote all your names down and put them in this cap for Arthur to choose out of." Harrison explained, placing a sleeping  Annie down on the floor and holding out the paper filled cap to Arthur who took great joy in picking a name and handing it to his father.

"The winner is... Maxi!" Harrison announce and Maxi began punching the air out of excitement, only to be shut down by a very serious Ethan.

"Maxi, baby lelicate, have to stay still."
He commanded and most of the tower were suppressing laughs at the tiny 'security guard' s' instructions.

Maxi immediately put his hands down and sat completely still as he waited to receive the baby.

"I think we know who he gets that from."
