She nodded,I noticed Courtney rolling her eyes.I tried to ignore her,I really did.I tried to focus on Cali helping Frances open Dave's gift,which was a drum set.River and I began to laugh,Kurt laughed as well.Krist and Pat jokingly rolled their eyes,Frances on the other hand smiled and bounced up and down."see!She likes it!"Dave said,"are you trying to turn my child into a musical prodigy Dave?"Kurt joked."why don't you do that for your own kids?oh wait,I forgot:you don't have a girlfriend."Courtney said rudely,Dave glared at her."here Frances,open our gift."i said,trying to diffuse the tension.I handed Frances the gift River and I got her,she wobbled over to Kurt and let him help her open the gift.
Kurt opened the little box,revealing a heart shaped locket.inside was a picture of Kurt,Frances,and Cali."it's a bit big on her now,but when she gets a bit older she can wear it whenever she wants."River said.Courtney angrily stormed off to the backyard,but I didn't care."this is a really sweet gift guys."Cali said,Frances wobbled back towards us and stared at Lake(who was sitting on my lap).I laughed,"ok,ok,you can play with Lake now."i said.Cali picked Frances up,I lifted Lake up and followed her to Frances' playpen.I sat her down in the playpen,Cali sat Frances down in front of Lake.Frances immediately crawled towards Lake and hugged her,"awwww!"Cali and I said.
