No one's more surprised then Chase Stokes when his estranged step-sister shows up on his doorstep in South Carolina. They haven't talked in almost two years, but something has caused her to quit school, leave Maryland, and take up residence on his...
"Evaline! Oh my God, Evaline!" Elaine whisper yelled in an attempt not to scare Cara.
Hurrying into Cara's room where Elaine was attempting to change Cara's diaper Evaline looked around in confusion, "What? What's wrong?"
"It's under my fingernail and I'm going to throw up. You need to finish this," Elaine cried as she stood by the bed Cara was laying on.
Snorting Evaline attempted to choke back her laughter, "Okay okay. You go wash your hands and I'll finish up here," she said trading places with the frantic brunette.
Evaline felt bad for laughing. Elaine had shown up yesterday morning and Evaline could tell she didn't have much experience with caring for a baby. She'd basically been giving Elaine a crash course on all the books she'd read in the last nine months.
Bella had shown up after classes and thankfully seemed to know a bit more thanks to her babysitting days. However, Bella was in class for another four hours so it was just her and Elaine at the moment.
"Alright you're all clean, little lady," Evaline said kissing Cara's cheek as she picked her up, "Let's go check on Auntie Elaine."
"I'm fine, sorry," Elaine announced walking back in the room wiping her hands on a paper towel, "I feel like I haven't been much help to you."
"Its okay," Evaline responded, "You doing the laundry and making sure I eat are help enough. Plus having someone to talk to other then Cara is always good too."
"You and Rudy make this look easy, and it's really not," Elaine told her as they headed out to the living room.
"Well I'm glad we've been able to fool you all into thinking we know what we're doing," Evaline replied, laughing as she sat sideways on the couch with Cara laying on her raised legs.

"You guys really do have us fooled," Elaine stated as she unpaused the show they had been watching.
A few feedings and diaper changes later Bella had returned from classes with a pizza for dinner. The three were sitting at the kitchen counter eating while Cara napped in her cosleeper in Evaline's room.
"How'd things go today?" Bella asked. Glancing at Elaine, Evaline smirked, "It was good. We got half way through season three of Parenthood," she replied.
"How were classes?" Elaine asked. "Good. So far I'm loving second semester. I had my photography class today so I'm excited about that," Bella told them.
"Oh I loved my photography classes."
