Great update Jessie. OMG Henry is an ASS in this chapter telling Reid that he isn't a role model for children because he is gay. I LOVE that young Sanda told her Uncle Reid that he is the best. ;D Reid is the BEST. OMG I am not sure that I want Henry to be around Melinda, young Sanda and young Jessie in this story. Poor Reid needs all of the love and support that he can get right now because he is awesome. ;D ;D

Chapter 15
Luke and Reid came out giving the kids their hot dogs. Jessie smiled, "These are real good, I'm having 1, and 1/2"
Reid smiled, "Wow that is great, do you want me to help with the mustard"?
"Yes please". Reid put it on, than helped Sanda put mustard , and pickles on hers. She smiled, "You make the best hot dogs, Mommy makes hers in a pot they are not like these ones". Melinda smiled , BBQ hot dogs would taste better. Reid walked over putting the hamburgers on the table, and Luke brought the buns. They all sat at the large table. Reid was facing Henry but he wouldn't look at him. Henry felt horrible he couldn't believe how out of line he was today. Luke smiled at Melinda, "The kids are good eaters"
"Yeah most of the time, but they love snacks , but I try to make them eat healthy". Katie smiled, 'Yeah jacob would prefer snacks over healthy any day"
Reid laughed, "Well me too nothing wrong with that"
"Healthy is better " Henry said making Reid stare at him, "Yeah it is but sometimes you need a snack Hank"
Luke touched Reid's hand, "Please lets not have a fight the kids have been through enough today"
"I know I'm fine". Reid put down his burger, "I lost my appetite"
Katie smiled, 'Since when you can eat all the time"
"Yeah normally not today, don't know what is wrong"? He glared at Reid, Melinda whispered, "Reid eat lets forget what happened earlier"
Reid smiled picking up his burger, and took a bite. Henry smiled, "After dinner maybe me, and Melinda can take a little walk together". Melinda smiled, "Maybe another time Henry, this has been a real long day"
"Please lets go for a walk, I want to explain what happened today, I'm truly sorry". Katie whispered, "Henry don't push her"
"I'm not put I sure wish she would give me another chance".
"Fine but the girls"
Reid smiled, "We will watch them, I would rather them stay here"
"Why you think I would hurt them"?
"You did make one of them cry but that is beside the point"
"I'm sorry about that I said it already. Please can we let that go, and start over again"
"I will never forgive you for what you said to me in the kitchen, not ever". Reid got up walking in the house, Melinda got up running after him. Reid was by the sink, "What is the matter Reid what did he do in the house"?
"Nothing go for your walk with him, I don't have to like it"
"Reid you and Luke have been amazing to me. You helped me when no one else did if you think I shouldn't I won't"
"Melinda I have grown to love you, and the kids. I feel like I'm responsible. Henry is not a cruel man but he acted downright stupid today. You have 2 children but you are the Mother, I can't tell you who or who not to see. I'm just saying I don't want you, or the girls hurt, and I'm not sure he won't hurt you"
"I will go for the walk, but I would love for you to watch the girls. I trust you, and Luke with them, I never leave them alone, but I know they are safe with you two".
Reid felt tears come to his eyes, "You mean that , you will never know how much I needed that right this minute".
"I hope when my girls are ready to date, they find someone as sweet as you, and Luke"
"We are gay silly"
"You know what I mean"
"Yeah I do thank you". Melinda hugged Reid, and whispered, "You are to good to me, and my girls"
Sanda walked into the house, "Mommy Jessie dropped Mustard on her new dress, she is scared to show you."
"Oh God I better rinse it off, I don't want it to ruin"
"I will tell her to come in , but don't get mad ok"
"I wouldn't it was a accident"
Sanda ran out, Melinda smiled, "Like I get angry with them"
Jessie walked in, "Mommy I spoiled my new dress, I'm sorry".
Melinda knelt down, "Lets go down, and get this off, I won't let it spoil". She took Jessie downstairs, Reid smiled as Sanda was looking at him. He walked over, 'You look out for your Mom, and Sister that is way cool"
"Well she loved her dress, Mommy doesn't get mad but it was new. Jessie is silly , but I love her you know she is my sister". Reid smiled, "I know you do Angel, how about ice cream"
"Yum"
Reid smiled, "I will get the bowls, and you can help me dish it out, and you can put the sprinkles on it"
"Ok yeah"
"Should we give Henry some"?
"A little he was a bad boy". Reid smiled, "Yeah a little since he loves healthy food so much, we wouldn't want to break that habit"
"Yeah". He touched her nose, and they both got the ice cream ready.
Melinda sat Jessie on the bed, she took off her dress, and put her old jeans on, with a t-shirt.
"Sweetie since when do I get mad at you"?
"I ruined my dress"
"No you didn't but don't you ever think I would be upset about that. You can tell me anything, remember that"
"Ok Mommy"
"Come on lets see if this stain comes out." She sat Jessie on the sink while she scrubbed it. The stain went away, and Jessie clapped her hand, making Melinda laugh.
"You are a magician Mommy you made it disappear"
"No a little soap did it"
"Magician is cooler, soap is boring"
"How did I get 2 smart girls, I was blessed"?
"I'm like you Mommy but you are prettier"
"Jessie stop you are beautiful , isn't Sanda beautiful"?
"Yes she is real pretty"
"You look like her silly"
Melinda lifted her up , and faced her to the mirror. "Look at my sweet girl, she is beautiful"
Jessie smiled, "I'm beautiful , I like that". Melinda felt tears come to her eyes, as she hugged her.

Great update Jessie. I really dislike the way that Henry treated Reid in this story by telling him that he isn't role model for young children becuase he is gay. I really hope that Melinda thinks long and hard before she dates Henry.

I don't blame Reid for being upset, I can see him wanting to let Melinda have a chance at being happy but yet he might want to protect her to, I like how Melinda was with the kids. Good job

Chapter 16
Melinda and Henry were going to go for a walk. She walked over to Sanda , and Jessie, and knelt down.
"Mommy will be back real soon, you be good for Uncle Reid, and Uncle Luke OK"
"OK Mommy" Sanda said hugging her, she looked at Jessie. "Mommy will be back to tuck you in OK Sweetie"
"OK Mommy you can read us a story the one with the 3 pigs"
"OK deal". Jessie hugged her Mom, she got up, "I won't be long promise"
"Take your time". Luke smiled but Reid whispered, "Call if you need us". Katie smiled, "Reid be nice"
"Sorry". Reid smiled at Melinda, "The girls will be fine, don't worry about it". Melinda walked over to Henry, and they left for their walk. Sanda ran over to her Uncle Reid, "Are we going to play"?
"Sure what do you want to play"?
"Hide and seek"?
"Oh that sounds cool, I will count to 30, and I'm coming to look for you". Sanda and Jacob laugh, and ran making Luke and Katie laugh. They ran they hid behind trees , Jessie ran over to her Uncle Luke.
"Where should I hide"?
He looked around, when Reid yelled, "30" . He turned, "Oh man Jessie you didn't hide"
"It is Uncle Luke's fault". Luke lifted her up, "My fault, sorry Angel"
"Sanda had a tree but I didn't"
Reid laughed, "Sweetie don't tell me where Sanda is"
"She is behind the tree". Luke was laughing, "No come inside, we will see what we can play with". Reid laughed with Katie, he pretended to look for Sanda and Jacob. He finally peeked around, "Found you Sanda"
She screamed but laughed so loud, "You almost didn't find me". He knelt down, "Now we have to find Jacob"?
"I know where he is right here".
Jacob came out, "Oh Sanda you are not suppose to tell him"
"Yeah he asked for my help". Jacob smiled so did Katie, she walked over, "Wow you both hid well"
"Jessie was caught first she is it".
"Well she is in the house with Uncle Luke, how about we play some ball"?
"Yeah" Jacob yelled, Sanda didn't really play ball, but she yelled yeah too. Reid was in his glory he loved to kick the ball around.
Melinda and Henry were walking, he pointed to a park, they went inside. Henry was talking, Melinda was pretty quiet, but she felt bad he was trying to make up for what happened earlier.
"Melinda I'm really sorry I upset Sanda, and Jessie"
"I know you are but I have a feeling you upset Reid too"
"Reid hates me but I was out of line with him"
"You were what did you do or say to him"?
"I said he wasn't a role model, he thinks I meant because he is gay"
"Oh Henry that is downright cruel he is a awesome role model, so is Luke. Why would you say something so cruel to him"?
"I was angry but I regret it, because I don't feel that way"
"You really don't think before you speak do you"?
"No but I will from now on"
"My girls are 3 years old , I will not tolerate crude talk around them"
"Especially Jessie she is way to sensitive". Henry said
"Are you blaming my child for God sake". Melinda yelled
"No never she just got very emotionally, I feel horrible"
"You scared my child, maybe this is a mistake"
"Please give me a chance, I swear I will never be stupid like that again"
"My children come first in my life"
"I can see that and I admire that. I think they are so adorable, I realize I have to be careful around them. I'm not a bad person, I can change if you just give me another chance"
"I don't know Henry I have been through so much recently"
"I can see that". Henry put his hand into hers, and whispered, "Lets sit down, just for a little while please". She almost said no but there was something about him she trusted, but she has been hurt in the past, she wasn't sure Henry wouldn't hurt her too.

Chapter 17
Sanda, Jacob, and Jessie were sitting around Reid he was telling them stories. Luke and Katie were listening Reid was awesome with kids. Katie whispered, "Jessie has to go to the bathroom, look at the way she is jumping around". Luke smiled, "Oh God can you take her"? Katie got up, "Jessie sweetie do you have to go to the bathroom"?
Reid smiled as Sanda and Jacob looked over. "Yes, but I want to hear the story"
Reid please wait until she comes back, she has to go". Jessie took Katie's hand, she whispered, "I have to go bad". Katie grabbed her, and ran down the hall. Reid smiled, "Wow my story must have been real exciting, she didn't want to leave". Luke got up, "Who wants a glass of milk, and a cookie"?
"We do". Sanda and Jacob said but she grabbed Reid's hand. "You come to you can finish your story"
Reid got up holding Jacob's hand, and lifted Sanda, they went into the kitchen. He sat Sanda down, than lifted Jacob into the seat, and helped Luke get the cookies , and milk. Jessie ran into the kitchen, "I had to go bad, I almost didn't make it". Reid smiled as he walked over, "Never hold it Sweetie, always go you will make yourself sick"
"But I liked your story about the Ugly Prince, and the Pretty Princess"
Katie walked over, "Sweet story but the Ugly Prince Reid"
"Well I'm not finished my story, but he was ugly sort of like me"
Jessie smiled, "You are so handsome, you are not ugly'. Sanda giggled, "Yeah you are like the Prince who kissed Snow white, and made her all better". Luke walked over, "Yeah you are my Prince handsome"
"Ok enough lets finish this story". Reid sat beside Sanda and Jacob, Luke sat beside Katie, and Jessie. Reid was talking the kids were listening contently so were Luke and Katie. He was a great storyteller. Luke for a moment hated that he and Reid would never be blessed with having children, but having Jacob, Sanda and Jessie around made it pretty nice.
Sanda touched Reid's shoulder, "Why did the Princess get mad at the Prince"?
"Only because he didn't stand up to his Family, and say she was the one for him. He soon realized he had to because he didn't want anyone else in his life. He loved her so dearly it hurt, and he finally told her he loved her with all his heart". He was telling the story but looking at Luke, they both knew Reid was kind of saying it was like their story. Luke wasted so much time, but that was over they were meant to be, and they would never be apart not even for a moment.
Reid finished his story, Sanda wanted him to say the story all over again. Jessie whispered, "I want my Mommy"
"Sweetie she is with Henry she will be home soon"
"I want my Mommy". Luke lifted Jessie, and whispered, "She will be here soon, I promise". He walked over to the window praying Melinda and Henry would arrive soon. Reid was telling the story over, Katie got up, "Is she ok"?
"I think she is tired, but I hope everything is ok with her and Henry"
"He was out of line today, but he is a good guy"
"Yeah I know"
Jessie shut her eyes, as Luke rocked her in his arms. Reid took Jacob, and Sanda into the living room, and sat on the couch telling them more stories.
Melinda and Henry were at the park, but she looked at her watch". "OMG it has been 1 1/2 hour, I better get back it is their bedtime"
"They are with Luke and Reid"
"Henry my girls are my main priority they are never away from me. I know they are in amazing hands with Luke and Reid two of the kindest people I have ever met. They need me, and I'm not letting them down. I'm sorry I have to start back, but it was fun talking to you"
"I'm sorry of course lets go back, I was just thinking you need alone time too"
"Henry just when everything is going great you say something that upsets me"
"What'?
"I don't need alone time, I need my girls they are everything to me. We have been through a lot, so my needs come last, their needs are what matters to me"
"Like it should, but I want to get to know you, and your girls. You are special Melinda real special, and I really like you"
"I like you to Henry but we have to take this slow. You did some stuff that upset me today. You made my little girl cry, that hurt because she has been through enough. We can see where this takes us but never forget they come first with me"
Henry put his hand out, "I can handle that, lets go see your beautiful girls". Melinda smiled as they started walking home.
Jessie whispered, "Mommy "
Luke looked at Katie, "Where are they"?
"They have only been gone 1/1/2 hours, they will be home soon"
Katie touched Jessie's cheek, "Hey want some M&M's, I have some in my bag'. Jessie lifted her head, "Not the green ones, they are yucky"
"Really they are good to me"
"No green ones". Katie smiled, "Lets go get them". Luke smiled as Katie walked into the living room with Jessie. Luke looked out the window, and whispered, "Hurry home Melinda".

Chapter 18
Melinda and Henry came into the house, Sanda and Jessie ran over yelling out for their Mom. Melinda smiled, "Hey you two did you miss me"?
Sanda smiled, "Yes but we played games, but Jessie cried for you".
Melinda knelt down, "You cried why Sweetie"?
"I missed you Mommy". Henry knelt down, "Me and Mommy were at the park, we were not far".
Sanda and Jessie look at Melinda , "The park Mommy , why didn't you take me"? They both started to cry, Henry couldn't believe he did it again. Melinda whispered, "Mommy will take you tomorrow we will go on the swings". Sanda pouted, and walked over to Luke , Reid, and Jacob.
"I'm sorry Melinda , I didn't think that would upset them"
"They are tired, they need to go to bed, maybe I should take them down"
Sanda started to cry, "No Uncle Reid is telling me stories, no bed".
Reid smiled, "5 mores minutes Melinda"
"Sure maybe I will take Jessie down, and get her into her nightgown first". Henry lifted Jessie, "I will help tuck her in".
Jessie put her hands out to Melinda, "Henry maybe not tonight, I think everything is overwhelming for them, and me. I know you are trying, and I would love to see you again, but tucking them in isn't a great idea"
"OK sorry"
"You didn't say anything wrong, but this is to much for me". She said goodnight, and walked with Jessie downstairs. Katie smiled, "I think me and Jacob should be going, it is past his bedtime"
Reid smiled, "Before you go can you check on Melinda she was very emotional".
"It is me I upset her, and the kids, I Will leave"
"Henry you drove me, you have to wait, Melinda is in a strange place. She is overwhelmed everything is happening fast for her. I will check on her give her time Henry". Katie walked downstairs, Reid was telling Sanda, and Jacob a story. Luke walked over, "Come in the kitchen Henry lets have a coffee"
"Luke did you see Jessie's and Sanda's face, they were devastated that Melinda went to the park without them"
"The park Henry of course they would be upset, I would"
"Luke please"
"They are 3 they are sensitive, chill out Henry"
"I like her Luke, did I blow any chance of maybe having a 2nd date with her"?
"I don't know you will have to wait, and see"
"Yeah I guess"
Reid smiled, "I know you two love my stories, but it is bed time. I promise I have many more stories to tell. I think Saturday Jacob maybe can have a sleepover, and we can tell stories, and watch movies, and eat popcorn, and play games"
Sanda smiled, "You will tell me the Princess story again right"
"Oh yes that is your favourite, she has many adventures, and she gets herself in many situations, that you will love"
Jacob smiled, "No scary stories"
"Not for the girls Jacob maybe when we have a boys night. Jessie, and Sanda are to young for scary stories"
Sanda whispered, "I don't want to go to bed yet, can we have some more M&M's." Reid grabbed the bag, "Well until Mommy calls you but if you get a tummy ache, I'm in trouble"
Sanda and Jacob giggled, as the three of them ate M&M's.
Melinda was putting Jessie's nightie on. Katie walked in, "Melinda you ok"?
"Oh yes I'm sorry about that upstairs, I just hate seeing my girls upset.". Jessie smiled, "Mommy tinker bell is pretty"
"Yes she is just like you Sweetie"
"Mommy I'm not tired"
"You have to sleep, after breakfast you, me and Sanda will go over to the park ok"
"Did you go on the swings"?
"No Mommy didn't go on the swings, we sat on the bench, and talked"
"Mommy my leg hurts"
"We are going to change that bandage, and get your medication". Melinda grabbed the stuff, and was cleaning her wound, and put a fresh bandage on. Katie grabbed her medication from the fridge . Melinda smiled, "Be a big girl , and drink it down". She did Melinda laid her in bed, and pulled the blanket up. "Sweetie you sleep, I will go get your sister, and the three of us will snuggle, and sleep together". Melinda got up, but Jessie held on to her, "Mommy I'm scared"
Katie smiled, "I will get Sanda you stay with her"
"Katie thank you for everything, tell Henry I had a good night, I will talk to him again soon"
"Goodnight". Katie left, Melinda turned, and Jessie was smiling.
"You are not scared"?
"Mommy"
"What Jessie I'm right here"
"I want my Bunny"?
"Oh where is Maggie May"? Melinda looked for her stuffed bunny, she found it on the couch. She walked over, "Here is Maggie May she needs a washing young lady"?
"She played in the sand"
"I see that she is all messy"
Katie brought Sanda down she wasn't happy she had to go to bed. Melinda took her out of Katie's arms, they hugged, and Katie went upstairs. Melinda was changing Sanda, she was telling Melinda about Saturday, and the sleepover plans. Melinda smiled, "You are so hyper did you eat chocolate"?
"Yeah M&M's". Jessie laughed, "Not green they are yucky"
Melinda put her nightgown on, and got in bed between the girls. They were giggling, and talking she knew she wouldn't get them to sleep, but she pulled them close, and whispered, "First one to sleep gets a prize tomorrow"
Jessie and Sanda shut their eyes, both laying still. Melinda started to laugh she knew it was killing them. She felt mean so she hugged them both, and the three of them giggled for about 1/2hour, than finally Melinda was content when they fell asleep in her arms.

Chapter19
Melinda woke up with Sanda still in her arms, but she didn't see Jessie. She moved laying Sanda down, but was in a panic wondering where Jessie went? She could hear talking coming from the small living room, it scared her who was Jessie talking too? She got up walking out seeing Jessie on the couch talking to her Bunny, the lamp was on.
"You are messy but I love you Maggie May, we both aren't pretty, but that is ok. I'm messy too, I made a mess of my new dress, Mommy wasn't really mad. I'm not tired, I want to go to the park, Mommy will be mad I can't sleep". Jessie started to cry, hugging Maggie May it broke Melinda's heart. She walked over, "Sweetie why didn't you wake me"?
"I want a prize, but I can't sleep, I shut my eyes". Jessie put her hands out to Melinda, she lifted her up hugging her so tight. She whispered, "Why can't you sleep Baby"?
"Is Henry going to be my Daddy"?
"Sweetie we just met, it is to soon to even think of that"
"I don't want you to go to the park with him anymore". Melinda smiled but she almost cried, "I know that hurt "
"Yeah you take us to the park all the time, he wasn't very nice"
"Actually he was sweetie, he just thought sitting in the park would be a nice place to talk"
"But not without me"
"And your Sister right"
"Yeah and her, and Maggie May"
"Didn't you have fun with Uncle Reid, and Uncle Luke"?
"Yeah but I don't play good, I'm dumb"
"What are you saying did someone call you dumb"?
"No but I'm dumb"
Melinda sat her on the couch, "You listen to me you are not dumb, you and Sanda are the most amazing girls. You both are smart, and if you can't play a silly game who cares"?
"Sanda is good at everything, I had to go to the bathroom, and ruined Uncle Reid's story"
"OMG Jessie why are you so sensitive"?
They both turn as Sanda walked into the living room. "Why am I in bed , and you guys get to play"?
"We are not playing your sister couldn't sleep"
"I slept I get the prize"
"I get the prize too" Jessie said
"No you couldn't sleep"
"Ma Ma I want a prize too"
"You both will get a prize, but do you want to wake Uncle Reid, and Luke up it is 3am"?
Sanda smiled, "Yes can we"?
Melinda laughed, "No you can't maybe we should try to sleep"
"I'm not tired"
"Jessie you have to be it is 3am"
Sanda walked over, "Sing to her Ma Ma, that makes her sleep"
"You want me to sing"?
"Yes the Sunshine Song Ma Ma". Sanda smiled
She lifted them into her lap as she sat on the couch, and began to sing.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy, If you will only say the same. But if you leave me and love another, You'll regret it all some day:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But not you've left me and love another; You have shattered all of my dreams:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me When I awake my poor heart pains. So when you come back and make me happy I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
She looked at her girls they fell asleep in her arms, she sat just holding them a little longer, because she didn't want to wake them up.
