"Emma!" A little boy with blonde curly hair comes running out of the kitchen and over to her
"Hey Jackson" Emma says as she bends down to match her younger cousins height "What are you doing over here buddy?"
"How was the first day of the first grade?" Riley says as she walks out of the kitchen as she lifts Jackson into her arms
"It was okay I guess, I don't see what's so great about it though" Emma says as she gives Riley a look "I liked kindergarten better, I was so popular in kindergarten"
"You are your father's child" Riley says as they all turn to go into the kitchen "come on I'll fix you some juice and a snack"
"Where's daddy at?" Emma says as she takes a seat at the kitchen table as Jackson crawls into the seat next to her
"He had an emergency at the bar" Riley says as she brings a plate over to the table as she pours juice into a glass
"I like the way daddy fixs my juice better Aunt Riley, he shakes the ice and juice together" Emma says as she looks up at her "no offense"
"Yea I saw the shaker in the kitchen, I can piece it together" Riley says looking at her "Don't worry, your dad is going to meet us at Uncle Danny's game later"
"What kind of emergency was it?" Emma says as Riley sits down at the table
"I'm not sure, I do know that your dad bursted down the stairs as soon as he told me to come over here" Riley says looking at her
"Come on Uncle Danny!" Emma screams out later standing up as her, Riley, Jackson, Tucker and Renee are sitting on the front row at Danny's game "Stick it to em"
"Huh that was a new phrase" Tucker says as he looks at Riley who is sitting beside him
"Makes you proud doesn't it" Riley says as she looks at him "It's like Ben in a little girls body"
"Come on take them down" Emma says as she continues to yell as Ben walks up carrying a box of food "Hey daddy"
she says smiling at him before turning back around to the game
"So how much sugar did you give Emma?" Ben says as he sits down looking at Riley, Tucker and Renee
"I gave her a couple snowcones" Riley says looking guilty as she looks at him
"And you know those giant cookies that they have at the concession stand" Renee says looking at him "Yea well I got her one of those too"
"Oh come bedtime that's going to be fun" Ben says looking at them
"So what was the emergency at the bar?" Tucker says as he looks at him
"Short version is I was almost out a kitchen, and I am out a cook" Ben says as he looks back at him "It's just been a rough day, but nothing my best girl couldn't fix" he says looking at Emma as she continues to walk down the row yelling at the game "or not" he says looking back at them
"I'm just glad that you didn't almost get us kicked out of the game like last time" Ben says as him and Emma are laying on Emma's bed later that night
"I might get a little excited" Emma says as Ben gives her a look "Well really excited, but I only got two threats from the other team this time"
"Don't know if I should say if I'm proud or not" Ben says looking at her "How was your day at school?"
"It was pretty good I guess" Emma says as she looks at him "I think my teacher knows you though, she just transfered into our school"
"Who's your teacher?" Ben says as he looks at her
"Mrs. Ribbionstein" Emma says looking at him as Ben almost spits out the water he is drinking "I take it you know her"
"I barely remember her" Ben says as he gives her a look
"Well she sure does remember you" Emma says as she takes a sip of her own water "I mentioned who's daughter I was and she got this almost pained look on her face"
"Just wait till you get to high school" Ben says as he continues to look at her
"What happened in high school?" Emma says as Ben gets a nervous look on his face
"Oh I'm sure you'll find out as soon as you get there" Ben says as he gets up off the bed "But right now it is time to go to bed" he says as Emma climbs under the covers
"So your not going to tell me" Emma says as she looks at him as she gets comfortable
"Oh absolutely not" Ben says as he gives her a kiss on the forehead "goodnight baby" he says as he turns off her bedside lamp and makes his way back out of the room
