We didn't arrive at our apartment till almost midnight, but thankfully the boys in the band came right down and helped carry boxes in. By the time I got Will to sleep all the boxes were in. Saving the unpacking for the morning Eddie and I collapsed into bed completely exhausted.

The boys came to the rescue again the next morning knocking on the door with coffee and breakfast. I couldn't thank them enough.

"Hey it's no problem. We all know Eddie is no morning person and coffee helps." Gareth says sitting down at the table in our small kitchen. I laugh because it's all to true, Eddie was a night owl. I always joke I was a permanently tired pigeon. But we had a lot to get done in the next one day before Eddie's schedule got chaotic. Getting the house unpacked, grocery shopping, and finding out other things we would need to get. We were pretty lucky that the assistant that helped secure the apartment was very thoughtful. She had made sure the apartment was fully furnished. Even went as far as to get a little table and chairs for Will along with a few toys. It was very sweet.

"Great food! I'm starving." Eddie came in the kitchen hair still damp from his shower.
"It's very good." I say taking a bit of eggs.
"It's a restaurant right down the road. They are twenty four hours." Jeff said as Eddie loaded up his plate.
"We tend to go there a lot. We don't really "cook" Gareth said using air quotes making you laugh.
"Well once we go grocery I'll make you guys dinner." I say causing the guys to pump their arms in excitement.
"Speaking when do you want to go?" Eddie asked with a mouthful of eggs.

When we got home from the grocery store I swore I would never go with both of them again.
"From now on I'm going by my self." I said with a laugh. I had lost Eddie about ten times. I would be looking at something and turn around and he would have wandered off or stopped walking to look at something and I would keep walking. But his favorite thing to do was to throw stuff in the cart when I wasn't looking. Or if I threw something in the cart he didn't like, spinach example, he would throw it back out.

"Honestly who likes spinach anyway." He grumbled causing me to laugh again.
"Popeye." I respond.
"Doesn't count he is a Cartoon." Was his comeback.

"Can you entertain Will while I put groceries away?" Giving me a salute before picking up the kid and walking out of the kitchen with the kid.
While I put the groceries away I could hear Eddie lightly strumming on his guitar, every other chord being interrupted by Will "strumming" the strings too. Peaking into the living room to watch for a minute. Eddie had the guitar on his lap with Will standing between his legs. He was strumming Kansas's carry on my wayward son. Will's lullaby. Will smacking the cords every few seconds, making Eddie laugh. He was saying something softly. Taking a few steps forward so I could hear what he was saying.

"This is a D. And this is a C. It repeats for the next line too." My heart melted. He was teaching him the chords.

"Trying to teach him guitar before he walks?" Eddie looks up surprised.
"Just watch, he'll be better then Jimmy Page by the time he is ten." Eddie smiled.
"Oh better then Led Zeppelin? Wow" I teased heading back into the kitchen to start dinner.
I had decided on making the Eddie special. Spaghetti. We had it for dinner the first night together in that small apartment. So I decided it would be our first meal in this apartment too. I was slicing lemons to make lemonade when Eddie wondered in with Will.

"Something smells good."
"I'm making Spaghetti."

"Well unless I made it wrong I don't remember lemons being in spaghetti." He teased picking up a slice.

"It's for fresh lemonade." I laughed. Watching as Eddie let Will take the lemon slice from him and instantly put it in his mouth, Making a sour face that made us both laugh. But when I go to take the slice away from him he turns away so I can't take it. Biting it again and making faces again.
"He likes it." Eddie laughed.

"That's so weird." I say trying to take the lemon away again and failing. Will ended up eating the lemon down to the rind before we could get it off of him.

"I hope it doesn't make his stomach upset."
"Oh he will be fine. Stomach of steel." Eddie said tossing him in the air and catching him while I called the boys apartment to tell them To come over for dinner.

And he was right, Will ended up chowing down on a whole bowl of cut up spaghetti, most of it ending up all over him rather then in his mouth to be honest.
