Chapter 66
Leroy drove home, and parked, and walked up to the house, and went inside. He heard Diane, and Emily in the kitchen. He walked in, and Diane walked over giving him a big hug.
"You are on time, I can't believe it Leroy"
"We have people coming over, I said I would be home on time"
"Mom ordered food she is not the best cook, but she is ok especially with anything easy"
"Young Lady I cook just fine it just isn't one of my favourite things to do."
"I know Mom"
Leroy wrapped his arm around her, "I have another guest coming"?
"Who"?
"Vance"
"Really I didn't know you guys were really all that close, I thought you told me he drives you crazy most days"
"I felt sorry for him he has been pretty down since Jackie's death, and his kids are away. I thought maybe it would be good for Hetty, and Leon to talk some more, and lose some of the tension between them"
"You mean Hetty and Leon don't really like each other"
"Not much but I personally think Leon is not a bad guy but he is hard to read sometimes."
"Most men are hard to read " Emily said
"What do you know about Boys young lady you are not dating yet"?
Emily smiled, "Well I think this might be a good time to tell you, I am engaged" Diane turned Leroy smiled as he gave Diane a kiss on the cheek, and whispered.
"She is joking she better be because I'm sure Tobias would have a thing to say about it too"
Emily smiled, "I am kidding but you know that guy that lives 2 doors down ask me out on a date when I was outside reading earlier"
"A guy"
"He is 18 Mom but he is real cute, and he said he would like to take me to a movie, and dinner Friday"
"Leroy"
"Emily is it Gary"?
"Yes that is him"
"Diane he is a good kid well actually a young man. I know his Parents, I have known them for years. I know he would never want to get on my bad side he has seen me mad, and I can tell you he never wants to see me mad again"
"Why were you mad at him"?
"He was causing problems for his Parents, and I set him straight. He is finishing school, and he wants to join the Navy so that is pretty cool"
"Really not really I don't want that for my Daughter"
"What"?
"I don't want my little girl worrying about the man she loves that he will never come home. Why can't she just meet a normal guy not one wanting to be in the Navy or the Army or this War"
Leroy turned to Emily, and asked her if she could go to her room so she could talk to Diane alone.
"Yeah sorry I caused problems I just wish my Mom, and Dad would realize I need to grow up, and they need to trust me" Emily walked down the hall to her room they heard her slam her door.
"Diane why are you so against her going out on one date "?
"I am not upset, I am just scared my Daughter will be hurt. I am scared to death everyday you go to work that I might lose you . I want her to be happy, and I want her to have a better life than me"
"Diane are you sure you want to marry me since I am such a disappointment"?
"You are not a disappointment, I have loved you ever since the first day we met. I know now I have to share you with this job, and I am fine with it. Please don't be upset that I want a different life for my Daughter."
"Diane I love you, and I love my career but my family is my highest priority. You think when we were married before my career was more important than you but you were wrong. I would have done anything for you but you drove me away with your constant complaining that I was not loving you the way I should. I was doing the best I could but I promise you I will always be here for you, and our babies. "
"I know you will , I think my hormones are all over the place. I better go check on Emily, and tell her I am fine with her going out Friday with this young man"
"If you want I will have a talk with him"
Diane smiled, "I would like that the food should be here anytime the money is on the counter."
"I will be here when it arrives go check on Emily"
Diane walked down the hall as Leroy smiled as he walked over to the counter, and poured himself a bourbon. He realized this was going to be a long night.

Cute update Jessie. I loved the talk between Emily, LeRoy and Diane. Emily, Diane, and LeRoy are so cute and adorable together in this chapter. I love that Emily was teasing her mom about not being a good cook. I love that Leroy calmed Diane down and that Diane agreed to let her daughter Emily go out on a date with Gary on Friday.

Chapter 67
Leroy heard someone at the door he ran over grabbing the money but it was not the Delivery guy it was Tobias.
"Hey Tobias you are early"?
"Not really I am right on time the others are going to be late, I see I am first to arrive"
"Yeah come in, Diane is with Emily but they will be out soon"
"Is something wrong Leroy you don't seem yourself"
"It has been a long day, Vance is coming for dinner too"
"Vance really he is your Buddy now"?
"Don't you start with me, I thought it would be best he saw my Aunt, and her Team outside of work"
"What is for dinner"?
"Diane ordered, I am not sure what she ordered"
"Oh man it is Chinese food you know it that is all that lady likes when it is take out. She would never try anything I liked , and pizza was beneath her"
"Yeah I know but she has changed but I can probably bet it is not pizza"
They heard a knock at the door, and Leroy opened it seeing Leon he handed Leroy a bottle of bourbon.
"Thanks you didn't have to do this"?
"I know but I wanted to"
Leon came in Tobias smiled as Leroy asked them if they wanted a bourbon?
They both said yes , Leroy poured them both a drink, and handed it to them. Emily came into the kitchen , and ran over giving Tobias a hug.
"Dad you are early that is a shock"
"I am on time what is with you people"
Leroy smiled as Emily whispered, "You are always late Dad but it is ok"
Diane walked out, "Leroy you should have told me the guests were arriving"
"Oh they just got here you know Tobias right"
Diane smiled, "Oh yes I know him well"
Leon turned putting out his hand, and Diane shook it.
"Nice meeting you again Director Vance"
Leon smiled, "Call me Leon, it is nice meeting you too, I want to thank you both for inviting me here tonight"
"It is our pleasure, but Leroy take them out to the living room it would be more comfortable than standing in the kitchen. Leory pointed to the living room, Leon followed him, but Tobias turned to Diane.
"You ordered in tonight"
"Yes I did"
"Chinese right"?
Diane smiled, "You know me so well, I love my Chinese food , I need my egg roll fix"
Tobias rolled his eyes, "I knew it some things never change". He walked out to the living room making Diane laugh.

Chapter 67
Diane was in the dining room setting the table with Emily's help. They heard knocking at the door Emily yelled she would get it. She ran over opening the door, and she smiled telling Hetty, Callen and Nell to come in. She smiled at Callen, and said, "Oh my God you are cute"
Leroy walked over, "Emily your Mom can use your help".
"Ok" Emily smiled as she walked away but she turned smiling at Callen making Hetty smile.
"Sorry about that she is a teen , and she says whatever comes to her mind" Leroy said but Nell whispered, "He is cute but he is all mine but who can blame a girl for noticing"
Hetty started to laugh but said, "He already has a Ego don't make it worse"
"I don't have a ego Hetty" Callen handed Leroy a bottle of Bourbon making Leroy laugh.
"I am going to be well stocked up on this stuff"
"Well we know you only drink Bourbon, and coffee, and Diane is pregnant so we brought her flowers, and chocolates hoping she would like one or the another"
Diane walked over, "I love both that is so kind of you, please come in, and Leroy will get you a drink. I am sorry to say I ordered in the food should be here soon, I hope you like Chinese"
"Yes we love it" Nell said as Diane took the flowers, and chocolates from her as they walk into the kitchen. Diane opened the box of chocolates, and took one out, and said.
"Oh this is so good, I try to stay away from this stuff but I crave it all the time"
"Oh Mom you will ruin your appetite you say that to me all the time"
"I am pregnant and I have a craving so don't you worry about me young lady".
Emily had no idea what she was talking about but she walked over grabbing a chocolate making her Mom say.
"You will ruin your appetite only one for you"
"I knew you would say that Mom"
"Why did you take one than"?
"I don't know I love being right"
"Did you finish setting the table"?
"Yes Mom we just have to wait for the food"
"It will be here soon" Callen came in, and handed Nell a glass of wine. He had a beer while Leroy walked over giving Diane, and Emily both a glass of Ginger ale.
Hetty walked over to Leon , and raised her glass of bourbon saying, "Nice to see you here Leon"?
"Yes it was nice of Leroy to invite me to tell you the truth I was a little surprised. I think he was feeling sorry for me, but sometimes having a night alone is the best medicine after a long day"
"I agree I prefer being alone but I do have a few people I enjoy spending a evening with"
"Hetty today I was a little rude, I was just surprised seeing you in my office. I never thought we would cross paths again, and to find out you are related to Leroy was a bit of a shock"
"Yeah I thought it would be"
Leroy came into the living room, and told them dinner has arrived, and they all should come to the dining room. Hetty , Leon, Tobias , and Jackson followed Leroy to the dining room.

Chapter 68
They all were sitting at the table, they all were eating, and Diane reached over putting her hand over Leroy's. He smiled but he leaned over giving her a kiss on the cheek but asked her if everything was ok?
"Yes this is turning out better than I hoped"
"Yeah everyone is being pretty civil but give it time"
"Stop"
Tobias smiled, "Diane egg roll" Leroy smiled as Diane took one, and smiled as Tobias winked at Emily. He was going to try, and get along with Diane for Emily's, and Leroy's sake. He didn't hate Diane but he knew when he married her she was not over Leroy. He never should have hooked up with Diane in the first place but he felt sorry for her but now he looks back, and he realized he would not change anything because if he didn't marry Diane he would not have Emily, and she was his everything. He was getting old, and he would never have a chance to have another child. His job keeps him busy, and bringing someone into his life really was not fair. He prayed this time Leroy and Diane would be happy but knowing they were going to have twins he knew they would do everything in their power to make it work.
"Dad what is wrong with you"? Emily said touching his arm, Tobias smiled and said he was fine.
Hetty looked at Leon, and said, "Do you feel like the odd man out"?
"Kind of do you feel like that to Hetty"?
"A little but being here in Washington brings back so many memories. I grew up Stillwater Pennsylvania, and spent a lot of time in Washington until I moved away from my Family for my Career, and I have no regrets, but I also regret not being here when my family needed me the most"
Jackson smiled, "Your Sister missed you Hetty but she thought you were amazing that you left everything, and did what you set out to do"
"I wish I was there for you both when she was sick but I couldn't see her like that, but I regret it now"
"She loved you Hetty she would not want you to regret anything"
"You are a sweet man Jackson my Sister was one lucky lady to find a man like you"
"I miss her more than life itself, I was a Grump most of the time, but she could always get a smile out of me"
Hetty smiled, "Yeah that is Ann we were total opposites"
"That is for sure" Jackson said making Hetty laugh but she wanted to cry because she could see Jackson missed Ann so much, and knowing she will never have a love like that made her feel a little depressed but she would not give up her life for anything in the world she loved her job so much.

Chapter 69
They all were finishing up with Dinner, Leroy told the others to go out to the living room they would have dessert, and coffee soon. The others got up Diane told Emily she could help clean up.
'Oh Mom we can clean up later"
Tobias smiled, "Diane go with Leroy in the living room, I will help Emily clean up"
"You" Diane said but Tobias smiled, "Yes me you may never have this chance again, I am feeling generous at the moment".
Diane walked over giving Tobias a kiss on the cheek as she said Thank you as she walked out leaving Leroy, Tobias, and Emily in the kitchen.
Emily smiled, 'What is up with Mom Dad she was nice to you"?
"I know it is kind of scary"
Leroy smiled, "You two stop Diane is sweet but that was kind of strange I guess it is her hormones"
Tobias smiled, "Go be with her, and entertain your guests"
"I don't know how to entertain but I do know how to sit back, and watch others entertain themselves"
Emily smiled, "What is wrong with men Leroy you just go in , and offer them a drink, and make small talk, it isn't all that hard"
Tobias laughed, "It is hard for Leroy"
"You sure you both will be ok in here you don't need my help"?
"No go I can manage cleaning up this mess with Emily beside it will give me time to bond with my little Princess"
"Dad hello I am right here, and I am no longer a little Princess, I am almost a grown woman"
Leroy smiled, "I will leave you two hurry, and join us in the living room". Leroy left, and Emily smiled at her Dad.
"I am washing you are scrapping, and drying the dishes"
"Why don't they get a dishwasher I even have one"?
'Like you need it Dad do you ever use it"?
"Yeah I think I know what I am getting your Mother, and Leroy for their wedding gift"
"Dad you know I love you right"?
"Yeah where did that come from"?
"I know you love your job, and I know you love me Dad but you need someone to take care of you"
"I am fine I am suppose to worry about you, I don't want you worrying about me"
"I will always worry about you Dad". Tobias walked over, and whispered.
"My little girl is growing up, I love you too Princess"
Emily was about to say not to call her Princess but right this moment it made her smile she loved both her parents, and she wanted them to be happy, and she finally realized they were not happy together, but they both loved her.
Phillip was handing out the drinks, Diane was sitting on the loveseat when Leroy brought her over a ginger ale.
Leroy sat down handing it to her as he touched her knee, and said.
"You ok Diane you have not said a single word what is wrong"?
Leroy life is so perfect right now, and in a few days we will be married, and I am so happy so no I am perfect"
"I know you worry about my job but I promise you, and our babies right here, I will be here for you all"
Jackson walked over, "The party is turning out ok everyone is enjoying themselves"
Diane looked around , Callen and Nell were talking with Leon and Hetty. Emily and Tobias were in the kitchen, and she was happy the night was turning out ok.
Hetty walked over lifting her glass as she said, 'A toast to the wonderful host, and hostess, I had a wonderful time tonight, thank you for inviting us" Everyone raised their glassed to them as they took a sip of their drinks.
