An hour after arriving at the house Sam headed off to the downstairs bedroom for a nap. "The ride tiered her out this morning." Alex said. "Well thats ok, I was the same way when I was in her condition." Lena said. "Mommmmmy!" Lori squealed as she and Alura played on the rug. "Is your sissy getting you?" Kara asked. "Yesh!" Lori squealed again. "Alura let your sister go darling...the squealing will wake Auntie Sam up." Lena said. "Yes momma." Alura said.

Once they stopped playing Alura grabbed her tablet and put on a cartoon for her and Lori to watch quietly. "She's so good with her." Alex whispered. "Yea..I hope it's the same when their sibling comes along." Lena replied. Alex's head snapped up to look at her sister and sister in law. "Sibling? Who's pregnant?" Alex asked in a hushed tone. "Me..." Kara replied. "Ohhhh Rao!" Alex grumbled. "I'm only about two weeks along...so don't worry it'll be awhile yet." Kara said. "I'm happy to have another grand baby on the way." Eliza stated.

"I think..this will be our next to last." Kara added. "So you two only want four kids then?" Alex asked. "Yes." Kara and Lena said together. "Four's a good number." Eliza said. "We think so too." Kara replied as she looked down at Alura and Lori who were still watching their movie. A little while later Sam was back up and had rejoined everyone else. "Have a good nap?" Lena asked. "Yes." Sam replied. "Good, Kara's in the kitchen making sandwiches for lunch." Lena said. "Oh good. I'm hungry." Sam replied.

A few minutes later Kara had returned from the kitchen to let everyone know lunch was ready. "I've made sandwiches! And yes Sam, yours has horseradish, and mayonnaise on it, along with four dill pickles." Kara said. "Thank you Kara!" Sam replied as everyone took seats at the table, and Lena put Lori into the high chair.
