He was terrified that Elysia would blhim!
Elysia had her own rules when it cto raising kids-she was definitely loving, but never coddling.
Whenever the kids cried, she felt it in her bones, but she'd never let their tears becan excuse for bad
behavior.
She believed, except for the exceptionally wild ones, most kids were born good- a blank slate.
Whether they grew into mighty oaks or ended up as deadwood, a lot depended on how the parents raised and
guided them.
Tarquin, Clayton, and Pamela stood off to the side, wide-eyed, watching Elysia comfort the baby.
They had opinions, sure-but nobody dared voice them.
In their family, Elysia's word was law.
Especially when it cto the kids. She was the undisputed boss.
Thankfully, Elysia actually knew a thing or two about child psychology, and with Elliot, Evan, and Emmett helping
out, the baby calmed down pretty quickly.
The little girl still hiccupped from crying,
"Mommy, you have to remember, okay? Don't forget to pickup."
"I promise, sweetheart! Mommy will never forget."
"Mommy, you have to be the very first one to pickup, okay?"
"Deal! Pinky swear!"
Once Baby was soothed, Elysia turned to Elijah.
He was mostly okay now, but since he'd never really been around other kids before, he was a little nervous.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as Elysia looked his way, he piped up,
"Don't worry, Mommy, I'm fine. Really."
Elysia gave him a warm smile.
"If anything happens at school, you can always ask the teacher to call me, okay?"
"Okay!"
Elliot then tried to comfort Elysia,
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll look after my little brother and sister. You can count on me."
Elysia's heart melted. "Thank you, Elliot. | hope you all have fun at preschool." The kids waved goodbye,
"Bye, Mommy! Bye, Daddy! Bye, Grandma, Grandpa!"
"Bye, sweethearts! Have fun!"
The four adults watched as the kids disappeared into the school building.
The moment the little ones were out of sight, Elysia spun around and buried herself in Tarquin's arms, muffling
her sobs.
She was miserable.
The kids missed her, but honestly, she missed them even more.
But she couldn't keep them wrapped up in her arms forever. They needed to leave the nest, learn to be in the
world without their parents constantly hovering. s
Clayton and Pamela saw what was happening. They felt for their daughter, but
they knew better than to crowd her, so they quietly headed back to the car.
Tarquin gently stroked the back of Elysia's head, trying to soothe her.
"Elliot and the teachers are there. The kids will be fine. We'll cpick them up early this afternoon, okay?"
"...Elliot, Evan, and Emmett will be fine. | just worry about Baby and Elijah. It's their first day. What if they don't
fit in?"
"They'll be okay. And even if they aren't, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett are in the sclass. | already talked to the
school about it."
Elysia sniffed, about to say something, when she suddenly heard Blossom's voice.
“Elysia!”
Elysia quickly wiped her tears and looked up. Blossom had just hopped out of her
car and was hurrying over.
Elysia was surprised. "Weren't you taking the day off?"
Blossom, still catching her breath, nodded.
"I was, but | kept thinking about the kids' first day at school and got too anxious to
stay away. So | cancelled my day off."
"| called you, but you didn't answer. The kids already inside?"
Elysia replied, "Just went in. My phone's in the car, sorry. Are you feeling better?"
Blossom nodded hard.
