(Eleven months later)

"David, please put those down."

David simply squealed in excitement in reply as he ran around with his mother's cars keys, shaking them above his head.

Jeanette came out of the bedroom and watched him run down the hall. "David, come back here," she called as she went after him, smiling a bit.

David went into his own room and plopped down on the floor, playing with the keys on the floor. He didn't even notice when Jeanette walked in.

Her smile widened as she walked over to him. "David," she said.

David then looked up at her. He grinned and held up the keys and shook them before dropping them back on the floor.

"Can I have my keys back?"

David didn't respond as he continued to play.

Jeanette laughed a bit before squatting down and picking up both David and her keys. "Come on, we have to go see Daddy. Do you want to go see Daddy?"

David replied with one of his many baby noises and Jeanette chuckled.

"Great, so let's go. Can I get a kiss?" she asked.

David leaned forward and she gave him a quick kiss.

"Aw, thank you," she said as she left the room, but not before grabbing his pacifier and giving it to him. She went into the living room and grabbed his diaper bag and some papers that Alvin needed at work, which was why they were going to see him.

They went out to the car and Jeanette strapped him in his baby seat before getting into the car herself. Soon they were on their way to Alvin's job.

Jeanette always enjoyed visiting Alvin at work. He was the CEO of Jett Records, so everyone knew her and David, and they loved David. Alvin seemed to enjoy the attention as well.

It didn't take long for them to get there. Once parked, Jeanette got out and then got David out, and soon there were on their way inside.

They were greeted immediately by the receptionist at the front desk. "Oh, hi Mrs. Seville," she greeted with a smile.

Jeanette smiled as she walked over. "Hi, Gretchen, how are you?"

Gretchen continued to smile. "Oh, I'm just fine, and you?"

"I'm doing great."

Gretchen nodded. "That's great." She then turned her attention to David. "And how are you today, David?" she asked.

David simply made another noise as he reached for a decoration on the desk. Jeanette chuckled and grabbed his hand before he could grab it.

Gretchen laughed a bit. "He is too cute. How old is he now?"

Jeanette smiled. "He'll be one in November," she informed her.

Gretchen smiled. "Ooh, next month. He's going to be a big boy real soon. Isn't that right?" she asked him as she grabbed his hand and shook it a little.

Jeanette laughed. "Yes, I know. So do you know if Alvin is still in?"

She nodded. "I believe so. Up in his office."

Jeanette nodded. "Thank you. Have a nice day."

"You too. Bye-bye, David."

Jeanette looked at David. "You want to say bye? Blow kisses," she told him.

David put his hand to his mouth, even though he had the pacifier in, and blew a kiss to Gretchen, who laughed.

"Aw, thank you," she said.

Jeanette laughed. "Bye Gretchen," she said before heading to the elevators.

They went up to the top floor where Alvin's office was. While walking down the hall after getting off the elevator, they were met with greetings from plenty of people, especially by Alvin's receptionist.

Katherine Delgato had been working for Alvin for years and was close to the family. As soon as she saw Jeanette and David, she laughed excitedly and came from behind desk to give Jeanette a hug and David a kiss on the cheek. "Hi, Jeanette. What are you doing here?"

Jeanette smiled. "Oh, I just came to drop something off for Alvin."

Katherine arched a brow. "You're leaving David with him?" she asked jokily.

Jeanette laughed. "No, no, I'm dropping off some papers," she said.

Katherine smiled. "Aw, I wish he was staying. He would just make everyone's day," she said.

Jeanette smiled. "Well you can have him for a few minutes," she said before handing him to her.

Katherine laughed a bit. "Alright, now you know you won't be getting him back right?"

Jeanette chuckled as she started towards Alvin's door. "Well, I'll take my chances."

Katherine smiled before going back around her desk and sitting down with David.

Jeanette knocked on Alvin's door before opening it and poking her head in. "Special delivery," she sang.

Alvin looked up from the papers on his desk and smiled once he saw Jeanette. "Oh, you're here. Great," he said as he stood and headed over to her.

Jeanette walked in and shut the door, leaving it slightly ajar. She met him and he gave her a hug and a kiss. Jeanette smiled before pulling away and holding out the papers. "Here you go."

Alvin took them. "Ah, thanks babe." He put them on his desk and then turned back to her. "Where's David?"

Jeanette stared at him with a straight expression for a moment before snapping. "Shoot, I knew I forgot something," she said in a serious tone.

Alvin arched a brow. "What are you talking about? I know you didn't forget our son," he said.

Jeanette shrugged. "I'm sure he's alright in the car," she said.

Alvin stared at her. "You better be joking…"

Jeanette looked at him with a raised brow of her own before smiling a bit. "Wow, Alvin, it's like you don't know me at all," she laughed. "He's fine; he's with Katherine." She shook her head. "You sounded like you were going to hit me if I left our son in the car." She smirked.

Alvin huffed and then smiled a bit as he looked away. "No, I wasn't gonna hit you…"

Jeanette raised a brow. "Oh, so you were going to yell at me, and call me crazy, and shout out how irresponsible I was, all loud enough so that this floor, and possibly the one below it, could hear?"

Alvin laughed and shrugged. "Sounds about right," he admitted.

Jeanette smiled and shook her head before turning and going back to the door. "Well come see him, Mr. Big and Bad."

Alvin simple smiled as he followed her out of his office. He saw Katherine holding and playing with David at her desk and he couldn't help but to chuckle as they walked over. "Kat, I hope you know you can't have him," he commented.

Katherine looked up with a playful pout. "Aw, but I would just love to take him home with me. Although, my husband would have a fit," she laughed.

Jeanette smiled as she placed her hand on Alvin's arm. "Well this one would have a fit if he was without his son."

Alvin nodded. "That's right. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since I left this morning, so hand him over," he said as he reached for him.

Katherine smiled as she lifted him towards Alvin and releasing once he had a good hold on him.

Alvin smiled down at David, who was now focused on his tie. "Why is that the first thing you go for when I hold you?" he asked him.

David laughed a bit as he played with Alvin's tie, pressing his face into it.

Alvin laughed. "It's always good to know that my tie gets more attention from my son than I do."

Jeanette and Katherine laughed in reply. Jeanette then stepped forward and played with David's hair a little. "Say because it's more interesting, Daddy," she said to him with a smile.

Alvin smirked. "Oh, you're so good to me, Netta," he replied.

Jeanette simply laughed. She always enjoyed days like this: another typical day in the life of the Sevilles.
