"Does Phil know why you are going?" Grace asks as she bounces Pippa on her lap.

Phil left after you all had breakfast. You were helping clean up.

"No, he thinks that my aunt Catherine invited me to stay with them," you reply.

"I find it kind of funny that Catherine married Phillip and they had three daughters named Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy," she smirks.

"Oh yeah, because that's the names of the Schuyler sisters from Hamilton. It's quite ironic because it's kind of a parallel," you smile as you wash some of the dishes.

"How can I help?" Christopher asks as he walks into the kitchen.

"Well, Y/N should probably go and start packing. I guess you can take over," Grace tells him.

"Should I do the dishes or do the dishes?" he jokes.

You look out the window and frown.

"Can we go and play outside? It snowed a lot! Please?" Peggy begs as she looks out the window with Angelica and Eliza not far behind.

"Make sure you are bundled up. I don't want any of you to catch a cold," your aunt reminds them.

They hurry back to their room to get dressed.

"Maybe you should call Phil to make sure he arrived home safely," Grace suggests.

You look out the window again. You immediately open the door.

"Phil!" you gasp shocked.

Phil had fallen asleep in front of the door.

"The roads were filled with snow so I couldn't go home," he explains as you help him inside.

"You could've gotten pneumonia or something! Why didn't you come back inside?" you scold him as you start making him some coffee

"You could've gotten pneumonia or something! Why didn't you come back inside?" you scold him as you start making him some coffee.

Grace places Pippa on Phil's lap.

"Hi Phil!" Eliza smiles at him.

"We're going to play outside. Do you want to come?" Angelica asks.

"Maybe later. I'm going to eat," Phil replies.

"Hey, if you girls wait, I walk you somewhere," Grace tells them.

"Where?" Peggy exclaims.

"There's a lake I know with a near by park," Grace smiles.

"Did you make another Hamilton reference?" you laugh.

"Yes," she nods, "I'm going to get dressed and then I'll take them outside. You two can stay here," she walks to her room.

"After you eat breakfast, do you want to build a snowman?" Peggy asks Phil. She sits next to him. You hand Phil his coffee.

"Y/N and Phil should be spending time together. They won't see each other while Y/N is in New York with us," Eliza tells her.

"They'll probably FaceTime and Skype everyday," Angelica smirks.

"Couple goals," Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy giggle in unison.

"Ok girls, let's go. Let Phil finish his breakfast in peace," Grace smiles at them as she starts to put on her coat.

Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy put on their coats and go outside.

"Christopher is in the nursery so you can leave Pippa with him if you two want to come outside," Grace tells you before going outside.

You and Phil eat cereal and drink coffee. He gives you advice about living in New York.

"The subway is really crowded. I don't want you to get kidnapped so don't take a taxi cab. Try not to get run over. By the way, a lot of people walk across the street and around cars even when the light isn't on red. Don't do that because I do't want to go to your funeral. I'm hoping that I will die before you so you can write a nice eulogy," he advises you.

"I'm going to miss you," you sigh as you take the dishes to the sink.

"I'm going to miss you, too. Why do you have to leave me?" he mutters. He stands behind you and wraps his arms around your waist and rests his head on top of yours.

"I'm not leaving you forever. Besides, you'll have Dan, Christopher, Grace, and Phillipa," you remind him as you turn around to give him a hug.

"Please don't stay there for a long time," he begs as he hugs you tighter.

"I love you," you smile.

"I love you, too," he grins.
