///two weeks later (In the livin room stressin, ok sorry)/// PS, if you lost track of the time, it's 1791. Aka the year of bad decisions AHEM. I know that in "Take A Break", Philip says that he has a sister but wants a brother, I meant it as, since Eliza is preggers again, he wants another little brother. 

     So, Philip has 3 and almost 4 siblings: Angelica, Alexander Jr, and James Alexander. Makes sense? No? Oh, sorry. Hopefully it will later.

     Last note: "Jr" is Alexander Jr, and sometimes he will be "Alex".

Alexander POV

     Today, I had the day off of work, which means no Jeffershit and I get to spend the day with my awesome family! When I looked to the side of the bed, Eliza wasn't there. I looked around the room and she was no where, but the door was cracked a bit. I'm honestly scared.

     After a few seconds, my 4 children coming running in and jumping on the bed, with Eliza walking in slowly after them. As they climbed all over me, Eliza covered her laughter with her hand.

Jr- You have to wake up, daddy!

Alexander- Why do I, again?

Jr- We and Momma made you breakfast!

Alexander- Is that so?

     He nods excitedly. At that second, Peggy comes in with a tray of food and a huge smile, like always.

Peggy- Surprise!

Eliza- We made breakfast in bed!

Peggy- It was my idea, no trying to brag or anything.

Eliza- I never said this before and I never thought I'd say this ever, but Peggy's right. It was her idea.

Philip- Daddy, after you eat, do you want to read some of my poems?

Alexander- I would absolutely love to.

Philip- I'm trying to teach James to write, but every time I give him the quill, he tries to break it.

Alexander- Oh, that's too bad. Maybe, one day he'll start writing and will be just as good as you.

     I pick up up James and hug him. He makes a small noise and I let him go. They leave the room so I can eat my breakfast. 

     Just as I got done, Eliza came in holding a letter.

Eliza- Alexander, you got a letter.

Alexander- Oh, from who?

Eliza- My sister.

Alexander- Oh, let me read it!

     She puts on a disappointed smile and gave it to me. She probably thought I didn't notice it, but I did. Is that about the whole argument we had a few years ago? I really hope it isn't.

Alexander- Are you ok?

Eliza- Why wouldn't I? Can I take the tray?

Alexander- Yes, of coarse.

     She picks up the tray, still with a sad look. She's about to leave, but I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her to me. She yelps in surprise, and turns around. Quickly I lean up and peck her lips. She gives a sad smile, escapes from my grasp, and walks out and shuts the door.

     I'm really hoping that she's ok. I can't deal with the fact that's she's upset. But, I have a letter from Angelica! I need to read it.

     I quickly open the envelope, not caring if I ruin it. Once I got the letter out, I thanked the Lord for her sending me a letter.
