Chapter 1

One morning after Sara has gotten the kids off to school she is holding Charlie and puts her play blanket down on the floor in the livingroom and puts Charlie at one end on her tummy and sits at the other with her back against the couch trying to teach her how to crawl.

''come on baby come to mommy.'' Sara tells her smiling with her arms opened

''come on big girl.'' Sara encourages her

''come on you can do it.'' Sara tells her

Charlie just looks at her.

''no?'' Sara asks her

Charlie just lays there on her tummy and gets fussy making her mad fists pulling madly on the blanket rubbing her tired face on it.

''okay maybe later or another time.'' Sara says and reaches down and picks her up and holds her

''you hungry baby you want some breakfast?'' Sara asks her and gets up and goes into the kitchen and starts making her a bottle and pours herself a cup of coffee and sits down at the table with Charlie laying her across her lap to feed her

Adam walks in

''hey big brother good morning.'' she says

''Morning.'' he says and kisses her cheek and the baby's head and pours himself some coffee

Charlie holds into Sara's shirt tightly in her fist

''shh baby you're alright.'' Sara tells her stroking the back of her hand trying to get her to ungraps her shirt so tightly and just lets Charlie hold her shirt softly and holds her hand while she eats

''so how she doing?'' he asks her

''oh fine she's just mad at me because I was trying to teach her how to crawl and she's obvisouly not ready yet.'' she tells him

''really?'' he questions her

''yea she made her point and started to fuss her angry fuss and made her little fists like Amber used to do when she was mad.'' she tells him

''well she'll crawl when she's ready.'' he tells her standing with his back to the counter looking at and talking to Sara

''yea I guess.'' Sara says

''arn't you going to be late for work?'' she asks him

Adam looks down at his watch ''ah no I'm fine.'' he tells her sipping his coffee

''okay.'' she says

''so where's Mom?'' he asks her

Sara just shrugs ''I don't know.'' she tells him

''oh.'' he says

''so you just came over here because?'' she questions him

''just wanted to check on Mom.'' he tells her

''oh.'' she says

''not just to see me?'' she asks him

''and to see you.'' he tells her

Sara just smiles at him.
