Eloise at the Wedding

chapter 3

Jessica was at her home, picking up her little daughter's toys and then suddenly got a phone call. "Hello?"

"Hey, you hear about a wedding?" Atticus asked.

"I think I got an email on that," Jessica smiled once she heard who was calling her. "I thought they were already married though."

"Unfortunately, they weren't." Atticus said.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that..." Jessica said. "And I haven't even been able to meet the baby..."

"Trust me, you'll be able to meet Eloise." Atticus said.

"Of course," Jessica smiled. "I'll be sure to bring Bonnie along, I think she'd like to meet her cousins again, she's really come out of her shell ever since Andy gave up his toys to her before he went to college."

"Cool." Atticus smiled.

Jessica came into her sleeping daughter's bedroom and put the toys where they were supposed to go. She smiled at how adorable her daughter looked.

"Jessica?" Atticus asked after long silence.

Jessica kissed her daughter's forehead and left the room, shutting the door only halfway. "Sorry, I had to give Bonnie a little something."

"Understandable." Atticus said.

"So, when's the wedding?" Jessica asked.

"Oh, um, I forgot to check." Atticus said.

"Well, let me know as soon as you can," Jessica said. "I'd love to come."

"Okay, I'll inform you." Atticus said.

"Thanks, Atty." Jessica smirked.

"No problem." Atticus said.

"Well, I'd love to talk with you more, but I've had a long day with the kids today," Jessica said. "Talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay." Atticus said.

"Talk to ya later, Atty." Jessica said.

"Talk to you later, Jessie." Atticus smiled halfway before hanging up on his older sister.

"Everything okay?" Mo asked.

"Fine, just catching up with my sister." Atticus smiled.

"You two always sounded so close until she started college and a family." Mo smiled back softly.

"Yep, we sure were." Atticus said.

"I always loved looking after JJ when he was growing up," Mo smiled. "I still remember when we did magic training classes with Sabrina and he was just starting Kindergarten."

"Yeah, he was a little nervous." Atticus said.

"Don't I know it?" Mo replied. "Oh, thanks for showing me a shortcut to walk him to school back then too until we graduated high school. He really loved walking with me when he was a little tyke."

"Yes, he was." Atticus nodded.

Mo sighed. "I sure do miss him... We should really have him over for a visit."

"Yes, we should." Atticus nodded.

Mo smiled back and gave him a hug. Atticus hugged her back. The following week would be a wedding no one would want to forget.

The next morning in the Plaza Hotel...

Nanny woke up and was going to order room service, feeling more energized and awake this morning to do it for Eloise, but she was surprised to see there was food already ordered. There was french toast with sunny side up eggs and glasses of juice. Weenie, Skipperdy, and Ditto were already eating.
