Jaydes 4th Birthday

A/N - I am currently in the year 2019 for this story    

Aria's POV

*Thursday July 25th*

Today for Jaydes 4th birthday we were just going to have a mom and daughter day. The family birthday party was going to be on Saturday. Mona flew home last night but Mike hasn't seen her yet since she spent the night at her mom's house. Jayde and I were going to see Mona this morning.

Mike, Jayde, and I all ate breakfast together.

"I'm going to be at Noel's all day unless you need me for babysitting." Mike said

"It's fine, I can just take Leo with me." I said

"Do we have to mommy?" Jayde asked

"Yes, you need to spend more time with your baby brother. The past 5 months you have hardly wanted to be around him." I said

"I miss being an only child." Jayde said

"Jayde, you may not be the only child anymore but you will always be the older sister. That means as you grow older you will get to do things before your brother can." I said

Shortly after Mike left I was on my way to Mona's. 

"Can I sit in the front seat?" Jayde asked

"No." I said

"Please mommy." Jayde said

"No Jayde, it's not safe you you in the front seat. If I were to get into an accident you are at risk of getting more serious injures in the front the seat since you are a young kid." I said

"How old do I have to be for the front seat?" Jayde asked

"The recommendation is 12 years old for the front seat and you are only 4 Jayde." I said

"That's not fair." Jayde said

"At least you only have the booster seat and not the car seat." I said

Jayde sat in the back seat next to her brother even though she wasn't happy about it. The drive to Mona's moms house was less then 15 minutes since she lives in Rosewood.

"Hi, Mrs. V." I said

"Hi Aria, Mona is upstairs, she got home late last night so she may still be sleeping." Mrs. V. said

"Sorry I had to bring the kids with me but Mike's at a friends house and I didn't want to ask my parents or my friends to watch them." I said

"That's alright. Mona needs to be around kids because she will be having her own in the fall." Mrs. V said

"I'm happy for Mona but she really needs to tell my brother because I don't know how much longer I can keep the secret from him." I said

"I'm sure Mona will tell Mike as soon as she gets the chance. I would hate for him to find out from someone else. Besides me, I know Mona has told you and Hanna but I don't know if she told anyone else." Mrs. V. said

"I sort of slipped up and told Toby who I'm sure told Spencer who might have told Emily and Alison." I said

I went upstairs to see Mona. I was holding Leo but Jayde ran up the stairs.

"If Mona's sleeping just let her sleep Jayde." I said but Jayde had already ran into Mona's room and woke her up.

"Someone's excited to see me." Mona said

"Sorry Mona, I told her not to wake you up." I said

"It may be 11 am but my mind is still on Hawaii time so it feels like 5 am to me." Mona said
