Life After Role Play

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, and I quickly shut it off. It was four o’clock in the morning.
I walked in and hopped in the shower, quickly rinsing off. I blow dried my hair, applied makeup, deodorant, and brushed my teeth.
As much as I hated it, I knew there would be paparazzi at the airport today. Even though I have sort of been out of the spot light, I am still a huge fashion icon, meaning I had to look presentable today.
I put on my ripped skinny jeans, with a grey long sleeve top. I slipped on my tory burch flats and a brown summer hat. I fixed my hair into beachy waves and applied a heavy amount of makeup.
I spread some lip gloss over my lips, smacked them together and then walked out of my room.
Our chef was already in the kitchen preparing a light breakfast for the kids, Caroline, and I.
I grabbed my phone and dialed my security’s number.
“Dylan, hi, I was wondering if you could help load bags into the car? I need to get the kids going but all of our suit cases are by the front door” I said calmly,
“Of course Mrs. Styles, i’ll let myself in when I arrive. Be there in 10.” Dylan said kindly,
“Thank you so much” I said before hanging up.
It was already five and I need to still get the kids dressed and fed so that we could make our 6:45 flight.
I walked upstairs to see Caroline's door open, and her bed made.
When she heard me coming up the stairs she rushed out of her room, fully dressed and looking wide awake.
“Good morning Mrs. Styles. What can I help with?” she asked sweetly,
“Would you mind going downstairs and packing up that tan diaper bag. Make sure it has snacks, iPads, their Beats, diapers, etc. I’ll get the kids dressed and send them down to you.” I said, before walking into my sweet Sophie’s room.
I walked over to her bed, and squatted down next to her. I kissed her cheek before running my acrylic nails through her curly hair.
“Baby, we need to wake up. We have to go catch a flight” I said quietly, not wanting to scare her.
Sophie opened one eye, before rubbing the other. She sat up in bed, her curly hair poking out of every direction.
I stood up, and she reached her arms in the air. Fortunately she wasn’t a very heavy four year, so I could easily lift her on my hip.
I walked into her closet and quickly undressed her from her pajamas and put on the outfit that I had picked out the night before.
I slipped the black long sleeve shirt over her head, before adding her furry (expensive) vest. Then I put on her leathery, purple leggings and her gold flats.
I took her into the bathroom to brush her teeth while I put her curly hair into a high bun. Once I was finished she reached her arms up in the air and I lifted her on my hip.
She was being very clingy this morning, and I wasn’t sure if it was because we were going to see Harry, or if she was just sleepy.
“Alright lovie, go downstairs with Caroline to get some breakfast okay? I’m gonna go get Gracie and Henry dressed” I said with a smile.
I set her down and watched as she held onto the railing, making her way downstairs.
Next I went into my sweet Gracie’s room, waking her up the same way I woke up Soph.
“Morning Gracie-lace” I said lifting her tiny frame from her crib. She was only one and a half, so she was a lot easier to carry then Sophie.
She rested her head on my shoulder, while I dressed her in a pair of black leggings. I then put on a white frilly collared shirt and slipped on her pink monogrammed sweater on top. I put some frilly white socks on her tiny feet before putting on her white UGG boots.
I brushed her hair, putting it in a high bun, like Sophie’s. As I was finishing up with her, I heard Henry start to cry.
I grabbed Gracie putting her on my hip, and walked into Henry’s room.
He was standing up in his crib, sobbing.

“Hi baby boy” I said, lifting him from his crib, and setting him on my only free hip.
He immediately dug his face into my grey sweater.
I dressed him in vineyard vine corduroy pants with a white collared shirt and the same monogrammed sweater that Gracie was wearing but in a different color.
I put on his little chuck taylors. I combed his hair back and gave both him and Gracie a passie.
Gracie lifted her arms in the air, signalling she was ready to get out of her stinky brothers room.
I somehow managed to pick both of them up.
“Let’s go get some breakfast” I said kissing Henry’s cheek, causing him to give me a little smile.
“Caroline, can you get the high chairs out and ready, i’m coming down with the twins” I said, as I was turning the corner.
Sophie was sitting in her chair staring at the television.
“Soph, babe eat your breakfast we have to leave soon” I said, as I set down my two little ones.
Caroline immediately wrapped bibs around their necks and set down the food that our chef had prepared.
I walked over to the counter only to see a plate for me.
“Thank you so much for being her so early” I said to our chef. She nodded her head and a mumbled a no problem.
After feeding the kids, I noticed that the Escalade that would be taking us to the airport was here and our bags were already in route to the airport. Fortunately I had paid for the bags online in advance, so that all security had to do was tag the bags and drop them off.

“I packed up the diaper bags, turned the lights off around the house, and called the house cleaner to make sure she was coming today. The dogs are taken care of, and it looks like we are ready to go” Caroline said, as she wiped the mouth of my cute little Henry.
Sophie was still glued to the TV, and she whined when I turned it off.
“Alright Soph, grab your pink backpack and go follow Mr. Dylan out to the car.” she fortunately did as she was told.
I grabbed Gracie from her high chair, and my fully stocked purse from the counter.
Caroline grabbed Henry and my diaper bag, along with her purse.
I buckled Sophie and Gracie into their seats, and before we knew it we were off to the airport.
We were running a little late, but I knew we would be fine.
Once we got to the airport, I used my special TSA Pre-check pass for all of us making security so much easier.
Right as we finished with security we headed to our gate and boarded the plane.
Fortunately there were only a few paps when we first arrived, and we got a lot of stares in the airport.
All of us had seats in first class, Caroline sitting alone across from us.
I sat in the middle with Sophie looking out the window. I was holding Henry in my arms while Gracie sat patiently in the seat next to me.
“Caroline can you grab the iPads and beats for me?” I asked politely, but was starting to get stressed out as Henry started to whine.
I was not about to have one of my children have a meltdown on the plane.
Once I buckled them all in, Henry holding onto the top of my sweater and refusing to sit next to Gracie, I handed them each their iPads. I plugged in their kid beats and put them over their ears.
I started a movie for each of them and before I knew it we were taking off, without any problems.
I looked at Caroline with a relieved look. She gave me a soft smile before telling me to let her know if I needed anything.
It was about a 7 hour flight, so there was a lot of time left.
I remember about this time two years ago, Soph and I were traveling alone to North Carolina. Wow, it was so much easier to travel back then, but i’m so grateful I have two more to do it with.
The flight attendant was obviously star struck and asked to take a picture with me, which I politely declined because I was holding Henry.
She understood and instead I gave her an autograph. The lady behind me reached up and tried to talk to me, and even asked me questions about Harry, to which I also politely ignored.
Eventually, Gracie and Henry both wiped out. Gracie was starting to slump in her seat, and I was worried she would fall out so I took her and set her in my lap.
Caroline came over and removed Henry and Gracie’s head phones placing them back in the diaper bag along with their ipads. Caroline also gave Sophie a snack and her sippie cup to which I thanked her.
