Stef's: POV
Frankie and I just got back to the house where from getting stuff for the house. We've went been to Walmart and target, after seeing everything we needed for our house. Tomorrow the carpet guys are coming to put down some carpet, Francesca and l are cleaning up the house from top to bottom. I open up some windows to let the air
There was so much to do, even though we flew in town
I know by the time we're finished where gonna be exhausted, it was still pretty early we had our work cut out for us. Frankie's wiping down the baseboards
By the we're done this place is gonna new again, l knew that l was supposed to call Lena once we got here
I'll call her tonight before I go to bed, she's probably worried sick out of her mind. It's a good thing l called the cleaning service company to come in and clean up the house. I didn't realize how big this place after not being here for months, Francesca you can stop now
We're gonna leave this to the professionals. We won't be able to all this work by ourselves, let's just leave be
Stef says to Frankie. Are you sure mom Francesca
Yeah l'm sure babe, l thought we could clean up this place on our own. But I was wrong, let's just hung up the shower curtains in all the bathrooms Stef replies
We carried our suitcases upstairs along with the bags from Walmart and target, we have a early morning to prepare for. Stef explains, okay momma when can we call mommy Frankie asks. We can call her in a little while
Stef said to her daughter, we went on upstairs
There's a quite a few more bags downstairs. I didn't plan for any of this to happen, we got started on the bathroom in the hallway. I cleaned everything while Frankie wiped down the mirror, with the glass cleaner. Then I filled the bucket with water so I could mop up the floors. We took our time cleaning up all the bathrooms, once everything was done. I hung up all the shower curtains, Francesca decorated her and Ariana's bathroom pink and lavender
I let her pick her own accessories for the E-suite. She choose pink and purple curtains, the room was already painted. The colors she picked out, after we got done
We set up the air mattresses in both bedrooms, then my phone started to ring. I looked down the caller lD and Lena's picture appeared on the screen, l pick up and answer it. Hello l said to her

Stef: l couldn't make out what she was saying because of the noise in the background. So l waited for her to speak again,

Lena: baby l've been waiting for your call for over a few hours.

Stef: l'm so sorry love me and Frankie loss track of time
What are you and Ariana up to.

Lena: we just got home a little while ago from running some errands.

Stef: oh how did you go Stef asks Lena

Lena: it went okay we brought a Christmas tree
Decorations lights, groceries and so on.
Lena tells Stef,


Stef: l'm glad you guys everything you needed
Where's Ariana at now. She's awfully quiet
Stef says.

Lena: she's napping she fell asleep on the way home
I probably wake her up soon after I finish putting everything away. Where's Frankie at

Stef: she's around here somewhere
Did you get a chance to stop by the bakery
Like you said this morning.

Lena: yeah I went got a few things done
Like l checked my email. I have order from a customer wanting a whole sheet cake, l might get started on that this weekend. I just wanted to call and check in

Stef: you know l will
