I'm running after  a  7 year old Rory trying to get her uniform for school on  and Grant is doing the same with Sam
"You guys are gonna be late for school"Grant says I get Rory's clothes on her
"Look we match"I say
"Oh yeah"she says straightening out her uniform
"Don't forget I'll pick you up from school and we are gonna go get frozen yogurt"Grant says
"Oh yay"she says
I smile at the interaction
"And then you'll come home and do your homework okay"I say

"Okay mom"she says
She looks nervous
I bend to her level getting on my knees
"You nervous"I ask
"Yeah what if I don't make any new friends"she asks
I reach up fluffing her hair letting my fingers stop slightly something I do often to her and Sam when they are nervous
"Rory you are such a sweet kid and you have a personality that everyone wants you are able to make friends in an instant babe so don't even worry"I say she smiles I stand back up
we walk out of the door going to the car I hold Sam with my other hand

"So you guys ready for your first day of school"I ask
"Yeah I am"Sam says
"I am to I'm so excited to see Elaine"Rory says
"I'm excited to see Tristan"Sam says
We arrive at the school
"Okay I'll see you guys later Sam don't forget you have a playdate with Tristan his mom will pick you up okay"I say
I only met Tristan and Elaine's mother we are good friends from what she told me their dad is pretty much always on trips for work
"Okay momma I'll see you later"he says
"Bye blue eyes"I say leaning over kissing his head he gets out
"Bye kid"Grant says
"Bye babes"I say kissing Rory
"Bye cupcake"Grant says
"Bye mom bye dad"she says getting out of the car we watch them walk in and leave
Grant gets out of the parking lot
"Coffee"he asks
"Yes please"I say he chuckles
We get to the cafe and walk in I go to grab a seat while Grant orders our drinks
He sits with our coffee
"What do you wanna do today"he asks
"I was thinking go home and hang out we got to get ready for work"I say we are on the last season of the flash
"Yeah true"he says
"Maybe tomorrow we can go to the zoo with the kids after school"I say
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea"he says
We finish our coffee leaving the cafe
"Oh don't forget I have that interview today"he says
"Oh yeah online right"I ask
"Yeah I'll go in the office and do it in there"he says
"That's fine I'll just sit in the living room"I say we get in the car
He holds my hand looking over at me
"I love you"he says
" I love you to Tommy"I say knowing he doesn't like it when most people call him that
"Don't call me that"he says I can tell he is somewhat joking
"Babe it's your name"I says laughing
"Your lucky I love you your the only one allowed to call me that"he says stopping at a red light and leaning over kissing my head
I laugh as I trace over his tattoo me and him went and got matching tattoos after I had Sam we got each other initials tattooed so I have a G on my arm with half an arrow and he has a N on his arm with the other half
We pull into the driveway and walk into the house the dogs barking at us
We walk over to the living room and plop down on the couch
"I have to go do my interview in 20 mins"he says
"Okay"I says turning on the tv looking for a movie to watch
I look over to see Grant quiet almost like he is thinking and in his own little world
"Hey you alright something in your mind"I say moving so that I'm facing him
"Nothing"he says quickly facing me
"Grant something is on your mind"I say
He sighs lifting me up and placing me in his lap I laugh as he does so
I intertwine our fingers moving our hands around
"What's up buttercup"I say making him smile
"How would you feel about having another kid"he asks
"I would love to have another kid"I say
"Really because I know sometimes your stressed with just Rory and Sam"he starts
"Grant it's normal for me to be stressed I want another baby"I say
"Really as long as your 100% sure I don't want you to feel forced because..."he starts to ramble it's times like these he reminds me a lot of Barry
"Grant babe"I say but he doesn't stop and continues
"-And if you don't want to right now I could see having one in the future i mean we are still young right we aren't to old"he says continuing
I laugh and grab his cheek and kissing him long and slow I run my fingers through his hair as he places his on my hips I pull away from the kiss
I fluff out his hair looking at him
"You were rambling"I say
He chuckles
"I guess I was just nervous"he says
"Nothing to be nervous about I want another kid especially if it's with you I will have a whole baseball team if you really want me to"I say
He chuckles
"You should get up you'll be late for your interview"I say climbing off of his lap
"Oh yeah I'll be done soon"he says getting up
"Okay"I says smiling at him I turn on definitely maybe with Ryan Reynolds's one of my favorite movies max Jett rookie and Nora come and sit next to me Jett and Nora snuggling me
Im almost done with the move when Grant walks out of the office
"I'm gonna go get Rory we will be back later"he says
"Okay love you"I say
He kisses my head leaving I get up locking the door and sitting back down finishing the movie about two hours pass and there is a knock on the door I open the door see Sam
"He bud"I says hugging him
"Hey nat"I hear
"Hey Jess thanks for dropping him off"I say she hugs me
"No problem him and Tristan had a lot of fun"she says
"That's really good to hear"I say
"Hey Sam forgot this"I hear a guy Jess moves slightly
"Dylan this is nat Sam's mom I was telling you"she says
I look over and see a guy I haven't seen in a while Dylan sprayberry
"Dylan"I say
"Nat"he says hugging me
"I told you I recognized the name"he says looking at Jess
I laugh slightly
"He has been telling me how he recognized your name I guess I just thought he had you mixed with someone"she says
I laugh "how have you been"I ask
"I've been good busy"he says chuckling we all talk for a few and they leave
I walk into the living room and Sam is sitting in the couch watching Gilmore girls that I left on
"Your sister and dad should be here soon do you know what you want for dinner"I ask
"No"he says
"So helpful"I joke I walk to the kitchen and he walks in behind me sitting at the table
The front door opens and Grant and Rory walk in
"Hey guys"I say Rory runs into the kitchen hugging me
"Rory"Sam says
"Hey Sammy"she says hugging him Grant walks over kissing me he puts the mail on the counter
"How was school today Rory"I ask
"It was good we learned about sex education"she says I look over at grant and he just shrugs
"We brought pizza"he says pointing to the table
"Good I didn't know what to make"I says he chuckles
"Dad"Rory says
"Yeah cupcake"he says
"When are you gonna tell me the story of how you and mom met"Rory says
"When your..."Grant starts but gets cut off
"Old enough I know"she says she always asks and I think each time she hopes for a different answer from Grant
I laugh slightly
"I heard it from moms side"she says
"Even your moms side isn't the full story"Grant says sitting next to her
We eat and I start cleaning
"Alright I finished my homework"she says
"Good go get ready for bed"Grant says
Rory and Sam run up the steps I put everything away and shut everything off me and Grant walk up the steps
Sam is already in bed Rory is brushing her feet I stand next to the bathroom entry in the hallway Grant across from me
She walks out of the bathroom and Grant walks her into her room I follow
She lays in her bed
I sit in the chair bye her bed
"I just don't get why you won't tell me the story"she says looking at me then to Grant who leans on the wall
"Rory your to young"I say
"Please come on I'm not"she says
"Rory"Grant says
"Please dad tell me the story"she says he looks over at me and I put my hands up
He walks over to her bed
"Please"she says
"Fine but I'm changing some of the name and the facts meaning you have to figure out who your mom is"he says getting close to her
I laugh slightly
"Fine I like it like a love mystery game"she says
He goes to start
"Hold on"she says fixing her bed and grabbing a clip board
"Okay ready"she says
"The three names of this story are April,summer and maya"he says
She writes them down on her clipboard
"Okay have fun you guys don't stay up to late okay"I say looking at the two
"Okay mom"Rory says I walk over kissing her head
"Night babe"Grant says kissing my head he sits on the foot of Rory's bed laying in his side
I walk to our room and scroll on my phone for a little before walking to the hallway to use the bathroom
I wash my hands and get out I hear voices downstairs
I walk down the steps
"What are you guys doing down here"I ask
"I came to make us some tea"Grant says
"Okay"I say sitting in the counter
"We will finish the story tomorrow alright"he says looking at Rory
"Okay"she says taking her tea and drinking it we walk back up the stairs and she lays in bed Grant goes and says goodnight to her
He walks back to the room laying on our bed
"Where did you get the idea to do that"I ask
"I don't know thought it would be something fun"he says
I laugh
"Night babe"he says
"Night love you"I say kissing him
