Moriah straightened her back and dusted her hands and legs. She smiled at her work. She sighed in relief.
"Finally, we have officially moved in!"

Joel appeared at the kitchen doorway, with empty cardboard boxes.
"Took you long enough!"
Moriah put her hands on her hips and lifted an eyebrow.
"How many boxes do you have left?"

Joel blushed and pressed his lips together. "Four," he quickly said. Moriah shook her head, smiling. Joel set the boxes down.

They had finally moved into a new home, since the last one had bad memories. They moved to a smaller home, with two hundred acres of land.
Luke and Courtney thought it would be a great idea if they moved too, so they moved to the house beside them.

Moriah looked around and frowned.
"Where's Alanis and Issac?"
Joel stopped what he was doing and thought.
"Now that I think about it, I haven't seen them."
Moriah and Joel then heard giggling coming from a closet.
Moriah opened the door and Joel laughed.

Alanis and Issac were eating some Twix bars that were in Moriah's purse. Alanis gave a nervous smile. Issac kept eating, around his mouth was a ring of chocolate covering his hands and cheeks.

Moriah reached for her purse.
"So that's were my purse was!"
Alanis smiled and Issac yelled as he pointed to the purse.
"Mine!"
Joel chuckled and picked Issac up, since Issac was only two years old.
"Looks like someone needs a bath."

Issac shook his head rapidly, "No." Moriah helped Alanis out.
Joel smirked.
"Well then I guess we won't video chat Joanna and Tamara-"
Right before Joel could finish, Issac started kicking happily.
"Bath! Bath!"

Moriah laughed and took Issac from Joel. She playfully touched Issac's nose with her index finger. She walked upstairs with him to the bathroom. Joel followed behind her, with Alanis by his side.

Joel and Alanis hung out at the bathroom doorway as Moriah applied baby shampoo onto Isaac's hair.
He clapped his hands and played with the water, trying to catch it as he threw it in the air.
The water splashed all over Moriah's face and she wiped it off. Joel, Alanis, and Issac laughed. Moriah smirked, smacked the water towards Joel and Alanis, and before they could move, they were already wet.

Alanis and Joel screamed, which caused Moriah and Issac to laugh. Joel grabbed the nearest towel and wiped his face, then handed it to Alanis. He shook his head at Moriah and smirked.
"Just wait, I will get you back."
Moriah got up and wrinkled her nose.
"I'd like to see you try."
Joel took advantage of the moment, pulled her in, and kissed her.

Alanis cocked her head and awed.

Issac covered his eyes and yelled. "Eww!"

Joel and Moriah parted and laughed at Issac's reaction. Joel walked over to Issac and cooed.
"Mommy and I can't kiss?"
Issac shook his head.
"No! No! No!"
Joel laughed and grabbed a clean towel and took Issac out the bath. Issac giggled and covered Joel's eyes, playing peek-a-boo.

Issac ran into Moriah's arms and clapped. He wore a blue and white plaid shirt, beige capris, and in his hand was a blue toy car.

Moriah kissed Isaac's cheek and Joel came into the room. Moriah smiled.
"Don't you look handsome, Issac."
Issac looked at Joel, Joel nodded, and Issac giggled.
"Like daddy!"
Moriah gave a surprised face, then smirked. She looked at Joel.
"How long did it take you to make him say that?"
Joel cleared his throat.
"A week."

Moriah raised her eyebrow and looked at Issac, Alanis entered the room as well. Moriah smirked.
"So, you think daddy is handsome?"
Issac nodded, "Yeah!"
Joel proudly raised his head, "I know I'm handsome."
Moriah laughed and snapped her fingers. Automatically, Issac raised his fist to the sky and yelled.
"Sike!"
