"So are you all staying here? Or at moms?" Kara asked as the night wore on. "Well we planned on staying here." Alex said. "That's fine with us." Lena added. "Well...now that I know that...I'll be going home then.." Eliza said. "Grandma...you aren't gonna stay with us?" Alura asked. "Do you want me to say here?" Eliza asked looking at her eldest granddaughter. "Yes! You can sleep in my room! We can have a slumber party!" Alura exclaimed. "Well then, how can I refuse such an offer. I'll go home right now and get some clothes and I'll be right back." Eliza replied. "Ok!" Alura replied. "I guess I'll be right back." Eliza said with a smile. She passed Lori back to Kara and headed for the door.

"Grandma and me are gonna have a slumber party momma!" Alura said as she moved to Lena's lap. "You are? That sounds like fun. What are you gonna do?" Lena asked. Alura looked at Lena for a moment before speaking. "Have grandma tell me about mommy and Aunt Alex when they were little." Alura said. "That does sound fun." Lena replied. "Yea..then grandma can make breakfast in the morning." Alura added. "Yep definitely Kara's kid...thinking about her stomach." Alex chuckled. "I like grandma's breakfasts better than mommy's or momma's." Alura piped up. "That's ok...we don't mind that." Kara replied.

A few minutes later Eliza returned with a small bag of clothes in her hand. "Grandma!" Alura squealed. "Hey sweetheart! How about we take this upstairs and I give you a bath and we come back down and watch a movie." Eliza suggested. "Ok!" Alura replied as she jumped off the sofa and headed upstairs with Eliza. "You need to have a bath too munchkin!" Kara said as she looked at Lori. "Here, I'll give her one. It'll be a little niece and Auntie bonding time." Alex said. "Ok!" Kara replied as she passed her over. "I'll go get your bags and bring them upstairs for you." Lena said as she got up leaving Sam and Kara on the sofa.
