Chapter 77 - How do you do it

Xander sat next to me curiously. "How did a girl who never understood the human condition raise an entire army of kids?" Jasmine glared and explained how I had help from grandma and auntie. Phillip responded saying that I am a genius and I learn quickly. Xander nod his head. Declan said that I sacrificed my life raising them. They had nobody till I stepped forward.

Sembi called and I answered. "Mini-mom" This made Xander smile. I ignored him on principle. "Sembi what is it?" He asked if I could get him a tank. I declined politely. Sasha laughed saying that it would out of place. Not to mention I could get arrested. Edge reminded me to be home soon. He wants me to meet his new girlfriend. I asked what topic they talk about which had demoted her from wife to be to girlfriend. Edge retorted that he broke with what's her name. This was his new girlfriend. I asked him to stop jumping between women. It's rude. He said that he will think about it. He hung up with a sullen face. My smartphone rang telling me it was Dash.

Diana came running and snatched the tablet away from Dash. "I wanna talk to mommy first" Sasha was laughing at Dash's expression. I gave Diana the motherly look and she gave it back to auntie D. "Mini-mom. Can I borrow your jewelry for the night?" I smiled, "of course dear but first tell me his name" she blushed eight shades, "I don't know what you are talking about" I reminded her that I am her mother and I know her style depends on a few things. The only time she asks for jewelry is if she trying to impress someone. I want to know him since he might an addition to our family. Bob and Bats wanted to meet him too. I clapped my hand to shut the debate. Dash said that he was her old crush.

I wished her well as I gave her permission to enter my room. I made it clear that Posh is not allowed in there since he would changed my entire wardrobe at least a dozen times before I get home. It would be like walking into a stranger's apartment. Benji laughed as he remembered the last time that happened. Posh said that he is changing my wardrobe with or without my permission. I gave him the angry eyes and he said he will only get rid of those that don't give a good impression of me. To which Diana retorted as my entire closet. Phillip started to laugh as did Declan. Xander listened to his relatives talk to me like I was their actual mother. When the call ended I introduced everyone to Xander. Edge fell off his chair. Sasha gave him an empty expression. The triplets had never heard of him so they dove into the old albums for proof. He gave them all a curt nod and excused himself.

Declan asked the hostess if she can tell when we were going to land. An air hostess replied that we will be landing in an hour. I was about to rest when Diana called to say that she is going for a sleepover with her friends. I wished her well and she hung up. I called security to keep an eye on her in case she gets kidnapped. Edge called to say that he has sent a few security personnel to where she was going. Sembi and Bob had already sent drones to watch her. Sasha sent Crimson just in case.

I sat to enjoy the landing and Xander came to sit with me. I asked him if he was here to kill me. His expression changed to one of sadness. He said he would never kill me. If he did then my children would be orphans. He can't have that. He left because he was irresponsible but I stepped up so he had a healthy respect for me. So I have nothing to worry about. He gave me a wink and I smiled politely. Phillip gave him a curious look before staring out the window. Declan was praying to God to land 'this crate' in one piece. I forgot he hate heights. Jasmine was busy fixing her hair to hear what anyone was saying. Angie walked past us to sit in her designated seat.
