Peter was at work and a now two year old Freddie was getting into everything!
"Freddie! Get out of the baking flour" Chummy Yelled.
Now with flour covering the kitchen and Freddie too! Picking up the small boy and taking him to the bath. "Freds, can you for once not be such a pain in the dairy air?" Chummy said, almost annoyed…
"Camilla?" Peter shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"Down in a minute!" Whisper yelling to him.
"Shh" Said Shelagh trying not to give away the surprise.
Camilla started walking down the stairs, her eyes lit up when she saw Shelagh.
"What on earth are you doing here?" She asked.
"I asked her to look after Freddie for a while."
"You sweet sap!" Chummy said.
"Go on you two! Go have lunch and a nice walk." Shelagh said.
"Peter?"
"Hmm? He said, lost in thought.
"Are we ready for this?" She asked looking down.
"We have all this love to give! Of course we are!" He said, resting his hand on her belly.
"I sure hope so, One is so bally scared. What if i'm not good at being two kids mum?"
"It's okay Camilla you will be perfect!'' He said, reassuring her.
"Should we head back?" She asked.
"Sure." He said, as they stood up and walked back to Nonnatus.
"Thank you Shelagh for, watching him." Chummy said hugging her friend.
"Oh, he was perfect, weren't you wee one?"
"Es eelagh." Freddie said.
"Well are you ready for bed?" Chummy asked the little boy now rubbing her eyes.
"Eelagh, Eelagh!" Freddie screamed.
"Come on wee one, I'll tuck you in." Shelagh said.
"Are you sure you don't mind?" Peter asked her.
"No, Look at this face!" She said, carrying a very sleepy Freddie sucking his thumb.
"Goodnight wee one, Auntie loves you." She said kissing him and walking out.
"Goodbye Shelagh." Peter and Chummy said as they walked her out.
Chummy walked up to Freddies room to kiss her baby Goodnight.
"Goodnight naughty little monkey, Mummy loves you."
