FP and I woke up around five for the third time that night. He helped me change Elliana and then he had to get ready for work. "I can take a couple more days off. Fred won't mind." FP rubbed my back as I washed my face. "I'll be fine. I have a whole house." I chuckled and kissed him goodbye. I grabbed Elli from her bassinet and brought her down to say good morning. "My sunshine." My dad smiled and kissed my cheek. "Morning daddy. How did you sleep?" I asked placing Elli in her rocker. "I slept fine. I'm just surprised you don't look dead." He chuckled. "Well you get used to it by your fourth kid."  I chuckled and poured myself a cup of coffee. "The kids explained your family tree this morning. I didn't even need coffee after."
"Thanks? I guess." I laughed and sat down next to him. "Wendy should be back soon. She was taking JB to school." He smiled and I nodded. "Anybody home?" Charles yelled in a whisper letting himself in. "In here." I smiled at him and Abby. "Good morning mrs... do you prefer Jones or Smith?" She asked giving up on guessing. "I'll answer to Smith, Jones, or Alice." I chuckled and hugged Charles. "Charles this is your grandpa Richard, from my side." I gestured toward my dad. "Bring it in." He smiled and held his arm open. "I've waited a very long time to meet you." My dad sniffed and released Charles. "Me too pop. Me too." He smiled and sat down next to him. "I'm sorry, this is my wife Abby."
"Hi nice to meet you." She smiled and shook his hand. "Hi Elli." Charles smiled and tickled her tummy. "I thought you told everyone her name last night?" grandpa questioned. "I may have splurged to one person." I blushed.  "And it was worth it." Charles attention was still attached to her. "She's gorgeous Alice." Abby smiled. I could tell something was off, but I just let it slide. "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." She smiled and walked as fast as possible. "Is she ok?" I asked letting my nosy instincts kick in. "Ya, we just...we have been trying for a baby and we're having some trouble." Charles sighed. "I'm so sorry." I frowned and grabbed his hand. "Where is my baby?" Wendy smiled walking into the room. "Not your turn." Charles dropped to his knees and shielded Elli. "Alright, I'll let you have your time." She sighed and plopped down beside me. "You look worse than me." I smirked knowing it was a long night for her. "Let's not discuss this with dad next to us." She cringed. "Oh you don't want dad to know you stayed up all night long with Tommy!" I raised my voice with a devilish smile. 'You bitch' Wendy mouthed. "He's lucky I can't run anymore." Richard huffed. I giggled along with Wendy. "Charles maybe someone should check on Abby. I would, but..."
"Actually why don't you go talk to her. She really likes you." Charles smiled and I nodded. "Abby, honey, you ok in there?" I asked knocking on the door. "Ya...I'm just I'm..."
"I know Charles told me." I smiled sadly and cracked open the door. "You should really lock the door next time." I smirked and she cracked a smile. "Have you tried treatment?"
"No. We haven't had the money or the time with all the jobs." She sighed and I sat next to her on the tub. "Have you looked into IVF?"
"Plenty of times. We just never could do it." She shrugged. "I can help. I mean I don't want to intrude on your life's, but I would pay for a couple rounds." I smiled hoping I wasn't crossing a line. "Your serious?" She looked at me like I was a ghost. "I would never joke about grand babies." I smiled and grabbed her hand. "Your amazing." She cried and brought me into a crushing hug. "Ok can we um...loosen a little. I'm still sore." I hissed and she backed off. "I'm sorry I'm just..."
"It's ok I get it. We will continue that hug when your pregnant and I'm healed." I chuckled and she nodded. "Thank you." She dried her tears in the mirror. "I'll help as long as you both let me." I smiled and walked back to the others. "She ok?" Charles asked looking away from the baby. "Perfect." Abby spoke up before I could. I winked at Abby and picked Elliana. "Sorry folks, but it's time to eat already." I chuckled and went into the kitchen for some privacy. "Hey mom?" Charles followed me with a hand over his eyes. "I have my scarf on." I chuckled as he peaked through his fingers. "Abby told me what your doing." He smiled and walked over to me. "I'll do it in a heart beat." I kissed his cheek and sat down. "I love you."
"I love you too baby." I smiled and squeezed his shoulder. "Can I have her when your done. I feel like I'm having withdrawals." Wendy chuckled and peered inside the scarf. "If this is your way of coming out it's kind of weird." I smirked and shook her head. "If I was it would be special." She winked and drank some water. "How has it been in the trailer?"
"It cozy, it I like it." She shrugged. "I changed the sheets because I can't imagine what they have been through." She wiggles her eyebrows and giggled. "Your right. You could never." I winked and brought Elliana out of the scarf. "I feel bad for you kid. You still have eighteen more years of that." Wendy sighed and I slapped her arm. "Here take her." I handed her to Wendy quick running to the bathroom.  "I thought after you have a kid the bathroom trips stop?" Charles smirked and I stuck my tongue out at him. "You will pee when you laugh after your first one." I sighed and sat down with everyone. "Ali, baby." FP called kicking off his boots at the door. "And everyone else." JB smiled sitting next to Abby. "I got suspended at work." FP smirked and trough his arm around me. "You did what?!"
"Fred said I am suspended with pay for another two weeks." He chuckled and I let out a sigh of relief. "Don't play with me like that." I smiled and snuggled into his side. "Please tell me your hormones will be better than that?" Charles whined looking over at Abby.
"There going to be even worse." Abby smirked and kissed his cheek. "Your pregnant?" FP asked surprised at the baby talk. "No, not yet at least." She smiled. "We are going to help them. I'll explain later." I chuckled looking at the confused expression on his face. "Ya I'm going to need it." He shivered. "Where's my baby?" FP asked looking around the room. "Wendy...where did Wendy go?" I looked to find Wendy. "Wendy!" I yelled and went into the kitchen. "I think someone needs a diaper change, yes we do." Wendy cooed walking in from the back yard. "Wendy!" FP yelled. "I'm the kitchen!" She yelled back and FP and I ran in there. "Where did you go?!"
"The back yard." She chuckled pointing to the door. "My baby girl." FP smiled and stole Elli from her arms. "I guess you can have her." Wendy scoffed with a smile. "We are going to nap. See you guys for dinner, Wendy is cooking by the way. You may want to prepare yourself's." I winked and drug FP up the stairs.
