Alaina giggled at her sister's playful threat and stood up straight away from the wall as Jim called for their mother.<br/><br/>"Oh snap, was she downstairs the entire time?" She asked, feeling a little bad that she didn't stop and say hi before running upstairs. "She's not too busy with anything is she?" She added as she skipped over to the door and poked her head out into the upstairs hallway.<br/><br/>"Maaaam, maaaaaaaaaam" She called out long and in an annoying higher-pitched voice that always got her mother's attention quickly when she was younger. She knew the other two would have been used to it by now.<br/><br/>She looked back at her siblings and shrugged. "Whatevs, I'll just go down there. I won't tell on you but poor Jim will be freezing in his bedroom tonight." She said and stuck her tongur out at her older brother before giving him a quick, playful hair ruffle before shooting out of the door and down the the stairs. Once she rounded the banister she slid with her socks across the wood floor and came to stop in the living room where her mother was reading a book.<br/><br/>Or well, something like that. She had a book but Alaina wasn't quite sure what she was doing. "Hey mom, you going deaf, lady? I'm home!" She said cheerfully.
