Jason pushed open the front door, dropping his backpack onto the floor with a thud. He was greeted by the sight of his older sister Mia and her group of friends lounging on the couch, laughter filling the room. "Hey, little brother!" [@ch_2]Mia[/@ch_2_d] called out, a playful grin spreading across her face.
Mia suddenly stood, swooping Jason into her arms effortlessly. Emma, with a sparkle in her eye, took her turn next. "Wow, you're as light as a feather!" Emma[/@ch_3_d] exclaimed as she carried [@ch_1]Jason across the room, causing him to giggle uncontrollably.
"My turn!" Jenny[/@ch_4_d] chimed in, eagerly scooping up [@ch_1]Jason as Emma handed him over. Jessica followed suit, her arms strong and steady. "You're like a little doll," she teased, setting him down gently.
Stephanie clapped her hands, "I want a go too!" she declared, giving Jason a piggyback ride around the room. Her laughter was infectious, and Jason couldn't help but join in the fun.
"He's all mine now!" Bella[/@ch_7_d] announced triumphantly, lifting [@ch_1]Jason over her shoulder. She carried him up the stairs, the rest of the girls trailing close behind, their footsteps a symphony of excitement on the wooden steps.
Mia joined her friends as they settled onto the floor, pulling Jason into their circle. "We just wanted to make sure you felt special today," [@ch_2]Mia[/@ch_2_d] said, ruffling his hair affectionately. "You guys are crazy," [@ch_1]Jason[/@ch_1_d] laughed, feeling a warmth spread through his chest at the unexpected adventure.
