Chris and I were home with the new baby waiting for Lisa to bring the kids home. They had all been to see the baby brother Matthew James Evans in the hospital but they stayed with Lisa while we were there.

I had just gotten Matt down in his bassinet after a feeding and we were sitting in the couch.

"I'll bet you $5 Dodger runs in and lays under the bassinet like he did with Tessa and Jack." I said and Chris huffed a laugh.

"No way am I taking that bet. I know it will happen." Chris said.

"He is going to have a panic attack tonight at bed since Matt is in with us and the kids are upstairs..." I said and Chris nodded.

"He won't leave Matt's side. He may leave if one of us is up feeding him and he will go check on the kids but he will be right back." Chris said and I nodded.

"I'll just be happy to have everyone home again. I miss my kids and my dog." I smiled at Chris.

"Excuse me...whose dog?" Chris asked with a chuckle.

"Oh come on. You fell in love with him and brought him home but who does he follow after more?" I asked and Chris groaned.

"You and the kids." Chris grumbled.

"And when do you get followed?" I asked.

"When none of you are home." Chris replied and I nodded.

"Exactly, so I rest my case, my dog." I smiled.

We heard a car pull up to her house and a Chris got up.

"I need to go intercept them at the door since he is sleeping." Chris said and I nodded as he quickly got to the door and then soon they were all walking in quietly with Dodger running ahead of them and I smiled loving on him and he was trying to see the baby in the bassinet.

"Soon you can sniff him bubba." I said. I then saw Jack, Tess and Bianca all walk in and smiled at them.

"Mommy!" Jack exclaimed snd ran to me, jumping in my lap and I grunted. The pain that had just gotten rid of quickly returning.

"Jack! I told you be easy with mom." Chris snipped at him.

"It's okay." I said having tear well in my eyes I was trying to get rid of. I hugged Jack back and then hugged the girls as he stayed in my lap.

"How baby Matty?" Bianca asked and I smiled at the nickname.

"Sleeping right now. You guys can hold him later if you want but we have to wash your hands." I said and she nodded as did Tessa. I looked at Jack and he was sticking his tongue out at Matt in the bassinet.

"Hey, dude. What's that about?" I asked.

"I don't want him here! I don't like him!" Jack yelled, jumped off my lap and ran to his room slamming the door.

All the commotion woke up Matt. I looked at Chris and he sighed.

"Which one?" I asked.

"I think you both need to take Jack. He is talking about you forgetting about him." Lisa spoke up to me and I sighed. "I'll get Matt calmed down." Lisa said quickly using hand sanitizer and then walking over to pick him up.

Chris and I headed up to Matt's room and Chris gave a small knock as we opened the door to find him throwing all of his clothes in a bag.

"What's going on?" I asked calmly knowing attitude was not the answer.

"I'm moving in with Mimi! She loves me and doesn't care about the new stupid baby!" Jack yelled at us and I just sighed and looked at Chris.

"Hey, let's talk." Chris said as we walking into his room sitting on his bed. Chris picked him up, putting Jack in his lap.

"First of all, I missed you so much when you were at Mimi's. Dad and I both did." I said. Chris nodded in agreement when Jack looked at him.

"We know a baby is a big change for the family and we know it's a big responsibility. Matt may take a lot of my time or dad's time but we will always have time for Jack like we will for Bianca and Tessa as well." I smiled at Jack.

"What about when you and I play with my legos?" Jack asked Chris and Chris got excited.

"Dude! I'm not giving that up! I love building things with the legos!" Chris exclaimed and Jack laughed and Chris tickled him.

"And mom what about Jack and Mommy Saturdays?"

"What about them buddy? We can still have our days out." I smiled.

"Nothing will change Jack. We are going to try and keep it as normal as possible." Chris said.

"And not to put a lot of pressure on you but Matt is going to need you to look up to. I mean Bianca and Tessa stick together like glue, Matt is going to need you." I said and Jack lit up at this fact.

"Jack and Matt against the girls!" Jack exclaimed. Chris and I laughed.

"Give Matt a couple years." I smiled.

"Now can we maybe rethink you packing to go away to Mimi's and you go down to meet your new brother?" Chris asked and Jack nodded. Chris stood up, picking him up with him and playfully tossing his over his shoulder as we headed downstairs.

Lisa was holding Matt on the couch and the girls were on either said of her.

"Hey Bumblebee, can Jack sit with you?" I asked her and she nodded putting Jack in her lap and I smiled.

Chris and I stood off to the side and just watch as Jack leaned down and kissed the top of Matt's head.

"Crisis averted." Chris said and I chuckled.

"Oh sweetie, there will be plenty more to come." I said leaned over and kissed his cheek. He just put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him.

"As long as we have each other..." Chris said.

"Always." I smiled up at him.
