---Alivia---

I was three months pregnant and looking it.  I was off bedrest under the condition that I be extra careful and relax when I needed to.  I was sitting with my mom at her house   Riley was graduating from college tomorrow and his graduation party was tonight.  He threw a party for me when I graduated from medical school.

I was frosting his cake when I heard him talking to my dad outside.  "Go distract them."  my mom said.  I stopped Riley at the door.

"Hey honey."

"Hey.  I need you and dad to do me a favor."

"Sure.  Whatever you need."  Riley said.

"Whatever you want."  my dad said.  I handed Riley a list of my favorite pregnancy foods.

"Anything else?"  I handed my dad a list of groceries from mom.  My dad knew we were throwing a party.  He nodded.

"Let's go son.  We have to make our Lunas happy."

They arrived just in time for the party.  Riley came into the kitchen and found me.  "Ah, yes, the innocent yet amazing party planner."  he kissed me softly.  "I told you I didn't need a party."

"You got one anyway, so deal with it."  he hugged me.

"Well, thank you."

A/N:  Jumping ahead a little.  Running out of ideas for Alivia's story.

---Riley---

I was teaching at the high school Alivia and I went to as teenagers.  Alivia was still a doctor, but she was also spending time at home with Jessica who was now in preschool from 8 to noon.  Sasha who was three years old,   Selena who had just turned the terrible twos.  Jasimine who is 9 months old and was in the process of learning how to walk on her own.

School had just gotten out and I was sitting at my desk grading papers when the door opened.  I looked up and there stood Mia.  "Can I help you?"  I asked returning to my work.

"I just came to visit a friend."

"Your friend has a restraining order against you."

"Because of her?"  she asked touching my shoulder.  I stood up from my seat.

"Back off Mia."  the door opened and Jessica came in.

"Daddy, mommy said you had to come to the conference too."

"I'll be right there baby."  I grabbed my jacket and went to the door.  I picked up Jessica.

"Daddy, the crazy lady's here."

"She was just leaving baby.  Run ahead and tell mommy that daddy's on the way."

"Okay."  I set her down and she did as I said.  I grabbed my laptop bag and the bag with my papers.  I went down the hallway and found Alivia standing in front of the preschool room with Jasimine in her arms.  Sasha and Selena running circles around her.

"Don't get dizzy."  I said.  Jessica led the way in.  They went into the play area.

We found out that Jessica was having trouble with a little boy, Kyle Jones.  We also found out that she was bullied on the playground almost every day.  Alivia hated hearing that.  It happened to her when we were growing up especially when I wasn't around.  Other than the obvious, she was doing great.
