Great update Jessie. Melinda is an awesome mother to Sanda and Jessie. I think it would have been cute if they had woken up Uncle Reid and Uncle Luke because they can't sleep. ;D I don't blame Jessie and Sanda for not wanting to see Henry again.

Chapter 20
Melinda fell asleep on the couch with the girls, and woke up to Sanda touching her face.
"Mommy wake up". Melinda smiled, "Oh Sanda it is 6 am Sweetie"
"I hear Uncle Reid and Uncle Luke, I want to say hi"
"They might want some alone time"
"Please"
Jessie was still sleeping, Melinda laid her on the couch, she didn't wake up. She put her bunny in her arms, and laid a blanket over her. She lifted up Sanda, "How about we have some cereal down here"?
"No I want to see them". Melinda smiled, "I know you love them, and I know they enjoy your company, but we should give them alone time. They are probably getting ready for work, we shouldn't disturb them"
"I won't". She ran but Melinda couldn't catch her before she ran up the stairs, knocking on the door. Melinda grabbed her as Reid opened the door, "Good morning your up early"
"I'm sorry Reid she heard you both, she was excited". Reid knelt down, "Want to have some breakfast with us, I have to go to work, I would love some company". Sanda didn't have to be asked twice she was running to the kitchen. Reid smiled, "You too Melinda where is Jessie"?
"Asleep on the couch, she didn't sleep well"
"Oh know is it her leg"?
"No I think she was nervous about me going to the park. She is way to sensitive, she isn't as independant as Sanda"
"They both are sweet, come on let her sleep, we can hear her from upstairs we can leave the door open"
"Oh I don't know"
"Melinda she is fine she is right downstairs, we will hear her you need to eat". Melinda said she would grab her housecoat, and be right up. She went down checking on Jessie, she almost woke her but she knew she was exhausted. She kissed her forehead, and went upstairs. She sat down Luke smiled, 'You look tired are you ok"?
"I was up most of the night Jessie didn't sleep well"
"Awe she will be ok she has to get use to the changes"
"I love it here it is so much better than a car".
Melinda smiled, Reid touched her hand, "Well you are safe here, and we are all together". Melinda smiled as Luke handed Melinda some waffles, and Sanda her cereal. He whispered, "There is plenty of stuff here for Jessie when she is awake, make yourself at home. I will be home at 2, Reid not until 5"
"Why do you have to go to work"? Sanda asked
"Well we have to pay our bills, Reid is a Doctor he helps a lot of people" Luke smiled,
"Can I see you at work , I will be good"
"Well not today I have surgery, but maybe thursday Mommy can bring you for lunch would you like that"?
"Yeah"
Reid smiled, "I would to Angel"
Jessie woke up she looked around whispering , "Ma Ma". She got off the couch holding Maggie May walking into the bedroom, she started to cry, "Mommy, Mommy". Melinda almost dropped her coffee, she got up running downstairs. She couldn't see Jessie, Reid and Luke came down holding Sanda.
"Where is she"?
Luke pointed to the other side of the bed, Jessie was sitting in the corner, she was crying. Melinda ran around, "Jessie what are you doing"?
"You left me"
"No Mommy was upstairs, I didn't leave you".
Reid walked over, "Jessie Mommy was right upstairs, come on we will get you some cereal"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry". She wouldn't come out of the corner. Melinda knelt down, "Come to Mommy, why are you Sorry"?
"I peed my pants, I had to go to the bathroom, but I was scared. I'm bad my nightie is wet".
"Oh God " Luke felt horrible, "I will take Sanda upstairs, you get her changed". Sanda ran over to Jessie, and knelt down. "That is ok jessie, it was a accident".
"I'm a big girl, I don't want diapers"
Melinda lifted her up, "No diapers, I'm so sorry". Melinda whispered, "Mommy is here". Reid touched Melinda's shoulder, 'We will take Sanda up, get her changed, I'm so sorry". Melinda was so upset she shook her head, but held Jessie, and walked into the bathroom trying not to cry, but she knew if Jessie didn't stop she would start, and it would make it worse.

Great update Jessie. Reid and Luke are so sweet with Melinda, Young Jessie, and Young Sanda. OMG I feel so bad for young Jessie in this chapter having an accident and getting her nightie and underwear all wet. I feel bad Melinda, young Sanda and young Jessie when Reid and Luke are gone all day at work.

Chapter 20
Melinda started the water in the bath taking off Jessie's things.
"Sorry Mommy"
"Shh it wasn't your fault, it is OK"
"I ruined Tinkerbell"
"No you didn't we will rinse this off, I will put it in the wash"
"Mommy"
"Jessie you didn't do anything wrong Angel"
"You don't have to give me a prize"
"You and Sanda will get a prize but it will be small. I only have a little money, but maybe after the park your prize will be McDonald's, would you like that"?
"Yes" Jessie hugged her, she touched her face. "Lets get you washed up, and than I will do a load of laundry, and than off to the park, but later I have come back, and do some more housework, while you two watch Sesame street OK"
"OK". Melinda lifted her in the tub. Jessie grabbed the soap, and was trying to wash herself. She smiled, "I'm messy like Maggie May, but you love us anyway"
Melinda started to cry shocking Jessie, who tried to stand up. "No Sweetie sit you can hurt yourself"
"You love me right"
"More that anything Jessie you and Sanda are my life"
Jessie touched Melinda's face, and Melinda wiped tears from her eyes. "I think I got soap in my eyes"
She finished washing Jessie, and pulled her out of the tub drying her off , than she rinsed the nightie and underwear. Jessie waited Melinda smiled, "Well lets go see what you can wear". Jessie didn't fuss as Melinda put on her overalls, but Jessie whispered, "I can't undo these"
"I know don't worry, I will help you"
Jessie sat on the bed as Melinda was getting dressed, and grabbing a load to put in. She took Jessie's hand, and put it in, Jessie was quiet.
"You hungry Jessie"?
"Yes"
"Ok we will go up in a minute"
"No Mommy"
"Why Jessie"?
"I peed my pants, I'm bad"
"No you have to stop this your not bad they are not mad"
Melinda smiled, "Go grab Maggie May want to wash her"?
"Yeah" She ran and handed Maggie May to her Mom, and watched as she put her in the washing machine. It was a cloth material it was washable.
Upstairs
Sanda was eating her cereal Luke was quiet Reid was trying to talk but he felt horrible too. He told Melinda to come up, he should have know poor Jessie would be scared to wake up all alone she was 3 years old. Sanda was even upset for her sister, Melinda was so lucky she had two of the most amazing children. Reid smiled at Sanda, "Well I bet you are excited about the Park"?
"Yes I love the park, Mommy is going to give us a prize"
"Well that is way cool"
"Do you have to go to work, I like you being here"?
"I have to but I will see you tonight, maybe we can throw the ball around tonight"
"I like that"
"You should eat up you need your energy for the park"
"They are soggy now, I don't like it"
Luke got up throwing out the cereal, grabbing her another bowl, and touching her face. "There fresh stuff"
"Is Jessie going to eat"?
"Of course she will Sweetie"
"Are you mad at her"?
"Us no not at all"
"She is a big girl she was scared, she is scared a lot"
"I see that but anyone would have been scared she is in a strange place"
"No this is a nice place, she just wants Mommy all the time"
"Well so do you"
"Yeah I love my Mommy this much". She put her arms out, but Jessie is shy Mommy says"
"She will outgrow that"
"Yeah but Daddy called her Stupid, Mommy would get so mad"
Luke and Reid were shocked, and a little angry. What man would call a baby Stupid. '?
Melinda came up holding Jessie but she clung to her Mom, not wanting to let go.
"She is hungry, but she is a little scared thinking she was bad. I told her you wouldn't be upset, but she is sorry"
Reid walked over, "Hey you we would never be upset, now come here, and lets get you some cereal". Jessie looked at Reid, and went into his arms, and he hugged her. He sat her in the chair, and gave Melinda his seat.
"I owe you both so much, you have been wonderful with me, and the girls"
"We love having you here Melinda , and the girls are a pleasure to be around"
"I will get a job, but I just have to get myself back on my feet"
"I was thinking about that, I need a secretary mine is going on maternity leave for 1 year. I could put a word in Bob Hughes said I could make the decision who gets the job. I'm thinking maybe you would be perfect, and the hospital has daycare right in the hospital. You can see them on your break, lunch, and than you can take them home. I think it would be good for the girls too, they would be around other children, what do you think"?
Melinda on one hand thought it would be wonderful, and on the other she didn't want to let the girls out of her sight.

Great update Jessie. Reid, and Luke are so amazing with young Sanda and Young Jessie. Melinda is an awesome mother to her young daughters. I hope that Melinda takes the job as Reid's secretary. It would be the perfect solution for Melinda and her sweet young girls. Reid and Melinda could go and visit the children in time of the day at the daycare center when the are working at the hospital. ;D

Chapter 21
Melinda smiled, "I would love to work for you Reid, but I don't know how they will react being put in daycare"
Reid took Melinda out to the living room, while Luke distracted the girls.
"Melinda it would be good for you, and they will be close. We both can keep a eye on them, and it would be good for Jessie especially. She is very shy, she need to be around other people, and children."
"She needs me"
"Melinda I know your scared, and worried, but they will be fine, I promise you. If this doesn't work out, than you can stop at anytime"
"I know your right"
"So you will do it"?
"I will try"
Reid hugged her, and smiled, "They will be fine, I promise you. Yes they will miss you, but your in the same building, you can check up on them anytime you want"
Sanda came running over, "Mommy we are going to the park, I have to get dressed".
"I know Angel, but first your sister has to eat".
"Ok Mommy". She ran back to the kitchen, Melinda and Reid walked into the kitchen. Jessie was eating, Melinda walked over, "Oh captain crunch"
"This is good Mommy". Jessie smiled as Melinda laughed, Reid said he had to get going. He walked over giving Luke a kiss making Sanda and Jessie giggle. Luke smiled, "Reid not in front of the girls"
Melinda laughed, "That is fine, you two are to cute". Reid smiled, "Who wants to give me a big hug"? Sanda jumped off her chair running over, Jessie tried to hurry too but knocked her cereal all down her, and on the floor. She knelt down grabbing the cereal, and yelled, "I'm so stupid, stupid, Stupid". Reid walked over lifting her up sitting her on the counter.
"Stupid is not a word we will use in this house. You are not Stupid Luke grab me a paper bag right now please"
"What"?
"A paper bag"
Jessie put her hands out to Melinda but Reid whispered, "Mellinda can I handle this please"
"Yes of course, Jessie it is ok"
"Mommy, I'm sorry, Mommy". She put her hands out to her it took everything in Melinda not to grab her, and hug her. Luke handed Reid the bag he opened it, and touched Jessie chin. " Stupid is not a good word to call yourself, and you are not stupid so watch this". Reid yelled in the bag, "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid". He sealed it up, "Now it stays in this bag where it belongs, none of us will ever call any of us stupid again, is that a deal Jessie"?
"Ok"
"This should go in the garbage, I think you should do the honor, or should I"?
Reid lifted her down she took the bag over putting it into the garbage bag, and put it in. She turned, "I'm sorry, I made a mess"
Luke was cleaning it up with Melinda. Reid smiled, "I think accidents happen but maybe it was my fault"
Sanda smiled, "It is ok, I do it sometimes too"
Jessie walked over, "You are wet too Uncle Reid from me". Reid looked down at his shirt, "Oh I am guess we both have to clean up". Melinda whispered "I'm real sorry Reid"
"Well before I change give me a hug you two". Sanda and Jessie hugged him. Luke smiled as Jessie walked over to Melinda who knelt down, and smiled, "Lets go down, and change you two for the park"
Sanda grabbed Jessie's hand as they walked to the stairs. Melinda turned hugging Reid, than Luke. "What you did right now for Jessie was special, she is really hard on herself"
"I know but I think everything will be fine real soon. You will be back on your feet in no time, and they will be dating in no time"
"Never my girls are never dating"
Reid smiled, "Deal I feel the sameway". They both laugh, as she whispered, "I better get down there before they get into everything, thank you again"
"If we are gone when you come up, we will leave a set of keys by the door on the table. They are your set, have fun at the park"
"I will thanks see you after work, I will make dinner my surprise"
"Can't wait". Melinda waved as she went downstairs, and Luke walked over to Reid. "That was amazing, you are great with the girls"
"I love them both, and Melinda they are family, I know we just met, but I want to protect them, but I really think things will be better real soon"
"Me too" Reid smiled as he ran upstairs to change, while Luke finished cleaning up.

Great update Jessie. Jessie, this chapter made me cry but in a good way. I LOVE what Reid did with Jessie with the paper bag in regards to him yelling the word stupid several times into the paper bag and handing it to her and making her throw it into the trash can so that she and no one in the house will ever say the word stupid again. Reid is absolutely amazing with Melinda, young Jessie, Young Sanda and Luke. They are all very lucky to have Reid in their lives.

Chapter 22
Melinda , Sanda and Jessie came upstairs, Sanda yelled out, "Uncle Reid, Uncle Luke where are you"?
Melinda didn't hear them she knelt down. "Angel they went to work, they will see you later" Sanda started to cry, Melinda whispered, "I know you love having them around but me you, and your sister are going to the Park remember"
"I want Uncle Reid, and Uncle Luke to come to the park too". Jessie walked over, "You have me, and Maggie May Sanda"
Sanda pouted but they all turn as someone knocked at the door. Sanda ran all excited, "It is Uncle Reid, and Uncle Luke they are going to the park" Melinda grabbed her lifting her up, "I will get the door, but it probably isn't them"
"Who is it"? Melinda yelled through the door
'Henry Coleman can I talk to you"
Sanda pouted, "I don't like Henry". She put her down, "Go sit on the couch with Jessie, I will talk to Henry". Sanda walked over upset sitting on the couch. Melinda pointed to Jessie, "Go sit with your sister"
"I'm not bad"
"Oh Jessie" Jessie ran over crying jumping on the couch. Melinda was getting a headache, but she opened the door.
"Henry you are here early is something wrong"?
"No I have the day off, and I thought I could take you, and the girls out for a drive"
"Oh we are going to the park". Sanda and Jessie were looking over the couch, Melinda whispered, "It really isn't a good time Henry". He walked in, "I know yesterday I wasn't on my best behaviour but I promise today, I will be good"
He walked over, "Hey you two would you like to go to the park with me, and Mommy"?
Sanda pouted, "No I want Uncle Reid, and Uncle Luke"
Jessie just stared at him he walked over lifting her up. "I know you forgive me don't you? I swear you are as cute as a little bug"?
Sanda started to cry, "A bug is ugly".
"Oh God Henry, maybe you should go" Melinda said
Jessie smiled, "A lady bug is cute, am I like a lady bug"?
"Yeah both of you , and I personally think bugs are cute"
Melinda smiled, "I will talk to Sanda for a minute, can you manage to not make Jessie cry for 1 minute"
"Yeah I will try". Melinda lifted Sanda up walking into the kitchen.
"Mommy we go to the Park, not Henry"
"Sanda sweetie can you give him another chance for Mommy"?
"Why"?
"Well I think he is nice but he really doesn't understand kids real well"
"He isn't nice"
"Well Mommy thinks he is will you be a good girl for me"
"Ok for you but I don't like him"
"Don't say that to him it might make him cry"
"He made Jessie cry"
"I know that but if you girls don't like him after today, I will not see Henry anymore ok"
Sanda smiled, "Ok " Melinda put her down, Sanda ran out in the living room.
"We are going to the park, you can come Henry"
"Why thank you Sweetie"
"Thank Mommy she wants you not me" Henry laughed, "Oh ok but thanks anyway"
"I'm sorry she isn't shy Jessie on the other hand is"
"Thanks Melinda I swear I will be good"
Sanda grabbed Melinda's hand, Henry lifted Jessie up. He smiled, "Well you like me right"?
"Yup" Jessie giggled as Melinda smiled as the four of them left the house to go to the park.

Great update Jessie. I don't blame young Sanda for wanting her Uncle Reid and her Uncle Luke and not Henry. I think it would be so sweet if Uncle Reid and Uncle Luke bumped into Melinda, Henry, young Sanda, and young Jessie at the park. I really don't like Henry's behavior in this story at all at the moment.

Chapter 23
Melinda , Henry, Sanda and Jessie got to the park. Melinda brought her stroller because one of them will get tired, and want to sleep it happens every time, but maybe not they were pretty wound up. Sanda was not impressed that Henry came but she was not saying much. Melinda laughed to herself Sanda wouldn't hesitate to say something if someone bothers her. Jessie keeps it inside which isn't healthy but she was getting a little better. They got to the playground, and both of them wanted different things. Sanda wanted the swing, and Jessie wanted the slide. Melinda knelt down how about we go on the swing first, than the slide.
"Why the swing first, that isn't fair"? Jessie pouted but Melinda took her hand, "I can't let you go alone, will you be a good girl for Mommy"
"I want the slide Mommy"
Sanda ran over to the swing, Henry smiled, "I will take this one to the slide you stay with Sanda"
"Oh Henry you really have to watch her she could hurt herself"
"I take Jacob to the park all the time, I will watch don't worry"
"Ok but be careful". She brought the stroller over to Sanda, "Sweetie how about we go on the slide first"?
"No why is Jessie being bad"?
"She isn't she wanted the slide like you wanted the swing Angel"
"Yeah but you said the swing she should listen"
Melinda knelt down , "I agree but is it fair that I picked the swing over the slide"?
"Yeah because I wanted it". Melinda tried to be serious but she smiled, "Come on lets go on the swing tonight we are having a big talk about rules from this moment on"
"Is Jessie going to be in trouble"?
"No she didn't do anything wrong, but we need rules."
Sanda got on the swing, and Melinda was pushing her but watching Henry. She could see Jessie getting so excited, but he was helping her up, but Melinda yelled, "Henry watch her at the top she stands up"
"OK" He walked up the ladder, and sat Jessie down, "You go down, than me Angel". He let her go down she went fast fall on her bum at the bottom. She giggled as she got up, Henry sat down, and was looking back at Melinda , than let himself go down. Melinda yelled but Henry didn't notice Jessie climbed up on the slide at the bottom. Henry knocked her off, and she laid quiet for a moment. He almost screamed she wasn't moving, he lifted her up, and she started to cry. He ran over to Melinda, "Oh God". Jessie stopped crying, she went into her Mom's arms. She knelt down checking her out.
"Does anything hurt Angel"?
Jessie whispered, "I was bad I climbed on the slide Mommy". Henry knelt down, "I should have watched you better"
Jessie hugged him he held her tight, Melinda was almost in tears. Sanda screamed, "Mommy"
She lifted Sanda out of the swing, and said they should sit down on a bench for a moment. Henry carried Jessie who laid her head on his shoulder. Sanda was quiet she sat beside Melinda on the bench, and asked for a juice. Melinda gave her one, Henry whispered, "Maybe I'm cursed, I feel so horrible"
Jessie shut her eyes, Melinda whispered, "It was a accident, but Henry you have to be more careful she is three years old. She jumps on the slide, I have told her so many times, but she is a baby"
Henry had tears in his eyes, Melinda could see he was upset. Sanda jumped off the seat yelling, "Uncle Reid, Uncle Luke running toward them. Reid lifted her up, "Hey Angel, I knew Mommy was bringing you here. Me, and Uncle Luke took a few hours off to come , and play some ball."
"Henry hit Jessie, but she is ok I think"
"What"? Reid put Sanda in Luke's arms, and ran over . "What happened to Jessie"?
"She got hurt on the slide Henry banged into her knocking her backward. I think she is ok it just scared her"
Reid took Jessie out of Henry's arms, "Are you crazy you banged into her on a child's slide"
Melinda got up, "It was a accident, she is fine Reid"
"Melinda I don't think Henry is good for you, I really don't"
Henry whispered, "I feel horrible Reid, you don't know how much. I'm so sorry Melinda, I will leave". He walked away, Melinda felt bad for him, but should she let him go, maybe this was a omen he wasn't the right person for her.
Jessie turned, "Ma Ma where is Henry going"?
"Home Sweetie, maybe you should go in the stroller, and have a nap"
She went into her arms, Reid looked at Melinda, "I know you like him, but how many times can he hurt the girls, that was irresponsible banging into her on the slide"
Jessie whispered, "I was bad, I climbed on the slide"
Reid smiled, "No Jessie you were not bad, Henry is the Adult"
Luke walked over, "Reid calm down, give the guy a break"
Reid grabbed the ball, "He had enough of them, but it is up to Melinda she has to make the decision for her, and her kids"
Reid lifted up Sanda, "Lets play ball". Luke sat beside Melinda who rocked Jessie' to sleep, he whispered, "Reid is angry at Henry he hurt him, but it is your choice"
"I like him a lot but maybe Reid is right my girls come first"
Luke held her hand, but Melinda never felt more horrible in her life, she didn't know what to do next?

Great update Jessie. Poor Jessie getting accidentally banged in the head by Henry. I don't blame Young Sanda for running into her Uncle Reid's arms after what Henry accidentally did to Jessie. I definitely don't blame Reid at all for being angry at Henry for accidentally bumping into Jessie and making her fall off of the slide. I LOVE how young Sanda and Reid are bonding in this story.
