Walker's POV

Jonah gets the door, and his mother enters in, giving him a hug on the way.

"Where's my granddaughter?" she asks.

Her expression goes soft as I carry the baby girl over to the door. We only got Austen a couple of weeks ago, but she's almost four months old now. Her head rests against my chest as I hold her with one arm under her bottom and the other wrapped around her torso. Amber and Andi got her an orange dress that always makes her eyes go wide when she sees it, so I decided to dress her in that for Judy's visit tonight.

"Oh my goodness! Isn't she adorable!" Judy says. "She's so calm."

Judy smiles wide at my baby, giving her arm a little stroke hello. Austen, of course, just gazes up at her grandma with no clue what's going on, but soon she'll be developed enough to know.

"Yeah, she's always like this," Jonah responds. "She really doesn't do anything. Kinda boring."

"Well, you should've seen yourself as a baby," Judy says. "You were stiff as a rock all the time. Sometimes we thought you'd been paralyzed, but you were just content with doing nothing. Wouldn't even move when doing the mommy-baby yoga with me."

"Mommy-baby yoga?" I repeat.

"It's a class I taught for new moms," Judy explains. "Helped them stay fit while bonding with their babies. Being a mom, it's hard to find time to exercise."

"Is there daddy-baby yoga?" I ask.

"Definitely. I know a bunch of places you could sign up for. If you want, I could even lead us in a little workout right now. You two will have to take turns with the baby, though."

I look over at Jonah who shrugs, replying, "Sure, why not."

Buffy's POV

Marty and I are curled up together in the basement together watching television when our daughter stomps in front of the TV and turns it off.

"Mom, Dad," she says, "I've given it a lot of thought, and I've decided I want my present for my eighth birthday to be a trampoline."

"Cara," I respond in confusion, "you've already had your eighth birthday."

"Correct, but I haven't had a trampoline."

"Okay, why do you want a trampoline?" Marty asks.

"Because I'm tired of having to make friends with lame people just to play on their trampolines."

"Cara, trampolines are dangerous," I tell her. "If you guys used it one at a time, it would be better, but you and your siblings can't get along that well."

"I thought you'd react this way, which is why I had Brayden develop a presentation for me."

Brayden appears from behind us and begins plugging in a laptop so that the image appears on the television.

"Cara," Marty says, "we're in the middle of a show."

"Your kids are the best show of your lives," Cara states. "You signed up for this by having us."

Marty and I share a glance, knowing we won't be getting out of this.

Jonah's POV

"Keep your baby at your hip, and lunge into warrior two."

With the furniture moved out of the way in the living room, Judy leads the yoga, while Walker and I follow. Currently, he's holding our daughter, trying to stay balanced at the same time.
