Chapter 7

Melinda and Gary were talking while Max's was eating his cereal. He was talking away to himself, making Melinda and Gary laugh. Max put his hands out to Melinda, and said , "Potty".

'Oh he must need a changing, I have been trying to potty change him".

Gary smiled, "Lucy was 2 1/2 when she finally went to the bathroom on her own."

'Taylor was 18 months if you can believe it. Max tries but he doesn't tell me fast enough". Melinda smiled, "I will be right back Gary". He smiled as she took Max's to the bathroom, and pulled down his pull ups, and pointed to the toilet. She was shocked, he didn't go in his pull ups, he went in the toilet. She knelt down, "OMG Max good boy, you went potty".

"Yup", Max clapped his hand, and Melinda laughed. He was so proud of himself. She took him off the toilet, and she put his pull ups on, and he smiled, "Max's good boy"

"Yes, you are Max, Mommy is so proud"

He ran down the call, and right into the living room. Melinda washed her hands, and went after him. He was jumping up, and down, Taylor pouted, "Mommy we can't hear the movie, why is he so excited"?

'Taylor he went potty, he is proud, so tell him, he was good".

"Good boy Max, go tell Gary, he will be happy". Max ran to the kitchen, and Melinda laughed, "Nice Taylor, this is a big day for your brother".

"I know Mommy, but Bambi is on, please". Melinda walked into the kitchen, Max was pointing to the hall, saying good boy. Gary smiled, "I'm not sure what he is saying to me"?

"He went potty Gary this is the first time, he is proud, and he wants you to say he was a good boy"

Gary smiled, 'Give me a high five Buddy". Max stared at him, and Gary put his hand up. Max laughed, "Hand"

"Yeah look at me and Mommy" Gary high five Melinda, and Max's laughed. He ran over to high five his Mommy, than Gary. Melinda grabbed Max before he ran into the living room, and sat him in his booster chair. She touched his face, "guess who gets some smarties"?

Gary and Max yelled, Me at the same time. Melinda laughed, "You like smarties too"?

"Yes, love them". Melinda grabbed a box, and got Max a little bowl putting them in. He pouted, and Melinda laughed, "Ok the green one are yucky, I will eat them." She handed Gary a box of smarties, and she picked the green ones out of Max's bowl.

"He doesn't like the green ones"?

"No, I don't know why, anything green , I can't get him to eat".

"Oh what about veggies"?

"That is a problem, I have to trick him sometimes, but he is to smart for that"

"Wow that would be scary, Lucy isn't picky really, she loves to eat"

"Taylor isn't picky, but she is hard sometimes, it is hard trying to please them both".

"Well I'm not picky so I would be easy".

"Would you like to come to dinner tomorrow, it is Wednesday it is spaghetti night, Max's loves spaghetti".

"Oh me and Lucy love it too, it is something , I can actually make well".

"So it is a deal supper, at 6:30 if that is ok"?

"Sure, I will bring dessert, and a movie for the kids".

Lucy and Taylor walked in, "the movie is over, can Lucy sleepover Mommy"?

'Oh Taylor, Gary and Lucy are coming for dinner tomorrow, she has to go home"

"Oh please you can watch her Mommy, I want her to sleepover" Lucy ran over, "I will be good promise, can I stay Daddy". Gary smiled, "Oh I don't know that is to much to ask Lucy, Melinda has her hands full already". Lucy pouted, "Daddy please, I never sleep over, please"

Gary smiled, "Melinda it is up to you"?

"Your ok with her staying here so soon"?

"I wouldn't normally, but I trust you, and I see how amazing your kids are. If you would like her to stay, I would be fine with it".

Melinda smiled, "Ok sweetie you can stay, you can borrow one of Taylor's nightgowns". Lucy jumped up, and down, and ran over to Gary, and hugged him, saying thank you.

Chapter8

Lucy and Taylor were so excited, it was getting late. Gary got up, and smiled, "I should be going, but I will drop by in the morning. I have the week off work, what time would be best for you"?

"Oh you can come by for breakfast if you like. I don't do anything really special, but I would make eggs, and bacon for you". Gary smiled, "Awe so sweet, you would go out of your way for me"

Lucy laughed, "Daddy go, it is getting late".

"Lucy Ewing, you are not going to miss me"?

"Yeah but you are coming back tomorrow". Gary smiled, "She doesn't get out much, you can tell". Melinda smiled, "I would let you stay, but it doesn't feel right yet"

"No, here is my number if she gives you any trouble at all. She might she is spoiled, make sure she goes to the bathroom before she goes to bed".

"Daddy stop". Gary knelt down, 'You be a proper young lady while I'm away. You listen to everything that Melinda tells you , promise"

"Promise Daddy, I love you". Lucy hugged her, Taylor whispered, "Come see my room". She took Lucy, and ran down the hall. Gary walked over, 'Goodnight little fellow, I will come back tomorrow, maybe we can go to the park again".

"Yes", Max hugged him, and Melinda walked over getting Gary's coat. She handed it to him, and he put it on. Max ran over, "No you stay"

"No, I have to go home, but Lucy is staying", Max ran to his Mom, and she lifted him. Gary opened the door, "thanks for today, and thank you for keeping Lucy".

"Your welcome, she is a Sweetie, and I'm sure I won't have any trouble. I would call of course, if I did, I will see you in the morning".

"Goodnight Melinda" He kissed her cheek, and patted Max on the head, and walked down the stairs. He waved, and walked up the street to get his car. Melinda shut the door, and Max smiled, "Kiss"

"Yes Kiss Sweetie".

"No bed".

"Oh Max, it is bedtime, but how about we put your PJ's on, and you can stay up 1/2hour more".

"Batman"

"Ok your Batman PJ's". Melinda walked down, and walked into Taylor's room. "What are you both up too"?

"Oh I'm showing her my pajamas, guess which ones she likes the best".

"Oh Tinker bell".

"How did you know Mommy"?

"Well most little girls love her".

"I only have one Tinker Bell Mommy".

"Taylor you invited Lucy over right"?

"Yes,".

"Well you should let your guest have her choice, that is only fair".

'Ok Mommy". She handed Lucy the Tinker Bell, and Taylor grabbed the kitten nightgown she had. Melinda walked down, and took Max's into his room. She grabbed his Batman pajamas, and he sat on the bed. She changed him, and he laid back giggling.

"Max you are a silly boy, stay still for Mommy".

"Park Mommy".

"Tomorrow Max, you really liked Gary didn't you"?

"Yup". Melinda whispered, "Me too Sweetie". He got changed, and she was pulling down his bed, when she heard the girls screaming. She turned not seeing Max, and ran to their room. They both yelled, "We were getting dressed, he walked in, and saw us"

"Ok he is a baby, he didn't realize". Max laughed, "Silly".

Taylor pouted, "I'm not silly, I get no privacy".

"Taylor be nice, Max's had a really long day, and he is excited. I'm going to let you three stay up for 1/2hour longer, what would you like to do"?

"Can we watch TV Mom" ?

"Sure but 1/2 hour only". They ran down the hall, and Max followed. Melinda turned on the children channel, and smiled, "Oh the Jetson's, you like this Taylor". Lucy yelled, "I like this , I like Jane the best."

Taylor laughed, "I like Elroy".

Max pointed, "Astro". Melinda sat on the couch, "Great we found, a show we all love".

"Who do you like"? Lucy ran over asking.

"Rosie" Lucy laughed, "You are silly you like the Maid".

"Yes, because I feel like one". The three kids jumped on the couch, snuggling into her, and the four of them, watched the show together.

Chapter 9

The show was over, Melinda stood up, "Bedtime I'm exhausted too".

"Mom why do I have to go to bed at the same time as Max"?

"Taylor please just for today, Lucy is tired too"

"No I'm not tired, please can we watch one more show"?

"Fine but than to bed". She lifted Max, he wasn't happy, but she carried him to his room. She laid him down, he turned away from Melinda. She hated when he was upset, but he was very sensitive, and he gets upset easily. Melinda laid beside him, and whispered in his ear. "Sweetie you sleep, when you wake up Gary will be here".

Max's turned , "I like Gary"

"Me too Sweetie, and I think he likes being around us"

"I love you Mommy"

"I love you too Max, you are my good boy"

"Big boy"

"Yes how about you shut your eyes, and go to sleep, tomorrow will come really fast". Max giggled but shut his eyes, and was asleep in no time. Melinda put the blanket over him, and kissed his forehead. She shut the door a little, but not tight, he hated having the door shut tight. She walked down the hall, but didn't see the girls in the living room. She ran in but heard them in the kitchen, she walked in, and was shocked. They had the ice cream, bowls, syrup, and cookies out on the table. They were making a mess, Melinda walked over to Taylor.

"Young lady what are you doing"?

"Lucy and me wanted a snack Mommy"

"Did you ask it is late, and I said it was bedtime. I don't need you two having a tummy ache tonight"

"Mommy you are being mean, Lucy is a guest"

"Taylor you know better than this, since when do you get all this stuff out"?

"I asked her". Lucy said but started to cry. Melinda walked over hugging her, "I'm not mad at you both, but you have to ask, before making a mess like this. I doubt your Daddy would like you eating this kind of stuff so late"

"I make it when my Daddy is asleep, he gets mad in the morning"

"What you get up yourself, and get ice cream, and cookies"?

"Yes I'm a big girl, but I don't clean up very good". Melinda smiled grabbing another bowl. "Since you got it out, the three of us, will have some, than bedtime".

Lucy smiled so did Taylor, Melinda laughed she was just taken in by two little girls, but she didn't care. They were talking Lucy smiled, "Do you like my Daddy"?

"Very much he is a lovely man"

"He likes you too, he is lonely". Melinda smiled she was a little embarrassed talking about this with his child.

"Mom why couldn't Gary sleep over"?

"It isn't proper we just met"

"So we just met Lucy, she is sleeping over"

"Taylor eat your ice cream, than off to bed"

"Mom can Lucy and Gary go camping with us in the summer"?

"Maybe if they like to".

"You can have Max with you and Gary, me and Lucy can have our own tent"

"Oh I don't know about that Sweetie, but we will wait, and see"

They finished Melinda told them to go to Taylor's room , and get in bed, but to go to the washroom first. They ran down the hall, as Melinda cleaned up, but she was daydreaming about Gary, she hated to admit it but she wished she let him spend the night, she could use some adult company. Melinda laughed, "Oh Girl stop thinking naughty thoughts, and go to bed". She walked down the hall, she tucked them both in, giving them a kiss on the forehead, pulling up the blanket. She turned the light out, and whispered, "Sweet dreams you two".

"Night Mommy". She walked to her room, getting in bed. She shut her eyes, but all she could think about was Gary. She looked at the clock, it was 11 pm. She reached over grabbing the telephone number Gary gave her. She dialed the number waiting for him to answer.
