the aliens baby

Grandparents

Anabeth's POV
Ara was finally fully healed and could now have baths again, she'd been taking to the new food I'd made her quite well but I had a feeling that this weekend the food I made her wasn't going to be good enough, it was now finally the start of summer and the perfect weather for our yearly family barbecue, but this would be the first time the family meets both Ara and Alex.

I'd sent everybody en email about the fact we now had two new family members and a wonderful new back garden with a pool, everybody said they couldn't wait to use the pool and meet Ara. Today me and Alex were heading to the shops to get the last of the things we needed for the barbecue. We got plates, bowls, cups and and cutlery and table cloths, before grabbing some cakes and drinks, we already had all the meat and bread we need and everybody brings something along like salad or crisps or whatever we need or what the kids will eat.

I paid for everything before taking Ara out to the car and changing her while Alex loaded the shopping into the boot, once she was all clean we headed back home and put the shopping away before I fed Ara and put her down for her nap.
While she was asleep I chose the cutest little dress and diaper cover I could find, and a little bathing suit ready for tomorrow as we'd bought a special pool float just to take her in the pool now that she's all healed.

I was about to finish getting the guest room ready but there was a knock at the door that woke Ara up, I went to see who was at the door only to find James Parents "you're a early?" They smiled before Lily started talking "oh you know what Bruce is like dear, he's always afraid that we're running late, I spend most of my time waiting" I couldn't help but laugh before remembering that Ara was still crying so I told them to come in before rushing to the bassinet.

Ara's POV
I got woken up by a loud sound, Mama came running straight past me and answered the door, there was lots of talking before Mama walked over and picked me up, she took me into the nursery and changed me before walking back into the Living room where I heard somebody speaking "aww let's see the little sweetie~" Mama smiled before placing me in a women's arms.

She looked down at me and smiled before talking to the guy sat next to her "aww Bruce, just look at our little granddaughter" he looked at me and smiled "well now I know who rules the roost" just then the front door opened and Tia came running over "Grama, Grandpa" they both smiled before hugging her as Dada walked in "Mom, Dad, you're early?" That's when Grama spoke to Dada, but I didn't hear what was said as Mama had picked me up and started walking towards the kitchen.

She placed me in the high chair before Alex appeared "I've finished setting up the guest room and got all the towels like you asked" Mama said thank you before telling him to go meet his grandparents, Mama went into the fridge and grabbed one of the pots she made before placing it down on the counter and grabbing a bib and tying it around my neck before starting to feed me before talking.

"Everyone will be arriving at around 10am tomorrow, so I'd be greatful if you could all help out tomorrow as this year I'll have Ara to get ready before everyone arrives" that's when grandma walked over to us "no worries dearie, I'll set up the tables for you, Tia can set up the games, James can sort out the food, Bruce well he'll be taking forever to get ready~"
Mama nodded her head before Alex spoke "and I'll set up the shades and the playpen under the shade for Ara"

Mama thanked everyone before wiping my face clean and taking me to the nursery where she sat down in the rocking chair until I fell asleep.

Anabeth's POV
It was now the morning of the barbecue and I'd got up early and had a quick shower before getting Ara up, I fed her before bathing her and getting her dressed in a swim diaper and the little swim suit before heading out the backyard and over to the pool, I climbed in and placed her in the little pool float, she squealed as she splashed about in the water, that's when I heard everyone cooing and coming over to take photos.

"Aww now that's just adorable~" I turned to Lily and nodded my head in agreement before quickly moving Ara or of the way as Tia jumped into the pool which caused Ara to start crying as got splashed "Tia you need to be careful around her!" I tried to get her to calm down but she wouldn't so Lily took her to try and calm her down while I got out of the pool, I moved to pool float out of the pool for now and headed inside to get dried and changed before going to check to check on Ara.

Lily had dried and changed her into a clean diaper and the little dress but she was still screaming "I've tried everything dearie, I've even washed her eyes just in case, but nothing" I nodded my head before taking Ara from her and sitting down in the rocking chair, I tried to feed her again in case she was hungry again but that wasn't it either so I got the health scanner and checked but it all came back okay, eventually she calmed down, I was about to set her down when there was a knock at the door.
