Just Like Grandmas, Just Like Home.

"So, did you two find a house you love not like for your vacation home." I asked my daughter's.

"We actually found our forever home and it's in Jades neighborhood." Alissa said as we ate.

"WHAT." Alena yelled she took a sip of Sauvignon Jade and Aiden were smirking at other end of the table

"WE'RE MOVING BACK PERMANENTLY!!" Amber shouted excitedly as she stood with her juice in her hand. "Everyone raise your glass."  Alissa stood up pulling Amber close to her. Having a big family makes me happy. "Now that we're entering our second trimester we are going to start moving back and I just want to Thank all of you because now my baby or babies just like grandma use to say we have a village to help guide them, now drink." We all clinked our glasses together including the kids and sip, they sat down and I stood up.

"Well I want to add that you two down there are good at keeping secrets." I said looking at my daughter and nephew.

"I found out last night and he found out at the store."

"Yeah Unc yo other daughter's are great at keeping secrets they made this decision when they did the insinuation, we were in the dark until earlier." They both smiled trying to seem innocent.

"Yeah aight, anyway congratulations baby girls can't wait to help move you in and have you hang this in the baby room." I walked out with my wife smiling because she knew what I was up to, I had contacted Amber Mom to get one of her ultrasound photos and we already had Lissa's of course I had gotten them blown up and framed them along with a picture of each of them from one of the shoots they did. I brought it out and I all heard were gasps and claps.

Amber and Alissa got up to look at them, Amber started crying. "Thanks Dad of course we love them, sorry y'all I'm pregnant." We laughed, Jade got up hugging her we moved the portraits back into the backroom and sat down. "Y'all know pregnant women emotional now I'm crying on my kebabs." She laughed and we continued eating about ten minutes later everyone was done and it was still a lot of food leftover which I know Lissa and Jade were going to turn into to-go plates and take them to the shelter downtown. 

"Well let's clean this up, Amby you coming with us or you wanna rest before while we go." Jade said grabbing some dishes whilst everyone else grabbed they plates to clean the off and put them in the dishwasher.

"Oh you know me so well." She gave Jade a one a hug. "I'm going to see y'all later, I'm a take a nap." She hugged everyone then walked to the back. We cleaned up the kids went back to the game room while we older folks went to the den.

Alissa

Me, Aiden, Jade and Trey had washed out everyone's glasses and put them away I grabbed a pack of about 50 to go containers to take to the shelter Jade had portioned the food and I'm sure I got enough we filled them up and put them in box.

"I'm a ask dad for the keys to his truck." Jade said walking to downstairs to the den.

"Well since she coming back with those we can go load this up." Trey said picking up one of the boxes. "She always finds a way out of heavy lifting."

"Just like home, come on lover boy." Me and Ayden laughed.. "Okay I'll throw this stuff out and we'll meet y'all at the car." We walked out back to throw out the trash I came back in and Jade was stacking the serving on dishes on the counter.

"You ready?" She said grabbing a paper towel to dry her hands then grabbed the keys. "Were they go?"

"Jade where are the boxes?" She smacked her forehead then looped her arm in mines and we walked out. "So are giving out dessert when you get home."
