The next morning after Shift Mills drove over to the Seveirdes to pick up his little girl. He couldn't wait to spend the day with her and to hear about all the things she had gotten to do while he was at work. Kelly's kids often babysat Shay and she would go their house or the Caseys most of the time when he was on shift, if she wasn't at her grandma's or Aunt and Uncles.

"knock knock "Pete said as he walked in the front door.

"Shh"Brittany hushed from the kitchen.

"Is everyone still sleeping" Pete whispered.

"Yes and so help me god if you wake one of my teenagers before 9 am" Brittany replied.

"Don't you have church today" Pete asked.

"5pm mass" Brittany said as Pete nodded and tip toed upstairs to collect his daughter.

When he came back down Kelly was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, "It seems like just yesterday ours were that little" he whispered as he looked at the sleeping 7 year old.

"it's been about 10 years since our oldest was that little and about 8 years since our youngest was that little" Brittany replied as footsteps could be heard coming from the basement and her oldest daughter emerged in plaid pajama bottoms and a squad 3 shirt, her long brown hair was a mess of curls and knots.

"morning sunishine" Pete said eying Leslie.

Leslie nodded in response as she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee, "morning"

"late night" Kelly asked.

"we'll talk later" Leslie said as she went back downstairs.

"Do you guys want to stick around for breakfast" Brittany asked.

"what are you cooking" Pete asked.

"Pancakes" Brittany replied.

"Sure we'll stick around" Pete said as he went and set Shay down on the couch.

"perfect, I'll set 2 more places at the table" Brittany said as Andy came downstairs.

"morning" Andy mumbled.

"morning" Brittany said.

Andy opened the fridge and grabed the orange juice, "whats for breakfast"

"pancakes,and make sure you grab a glass"Brittany said as she started to cook.

"where's Noah" Kelly asked as he got himself another cup of coffee.

"He stayed with the Casey's last night"Brittany said.

"So he'll be back later"Kelly asked.

"he better be back sooner than that, he has my car" Brittany replied and as if on cue the front door opened and Noah walked in.

"You have a good time" Kelly asked.

"Yeah MJ and I played video games most of the night" Noah said as he hung Brittany's keys up.

"Did you eat" Brittany asked.

"Yeah Aunt Gabby made cinnamon rolls" Noah said as he went upstairs.

"daddy, why are we still here" Shay asked as she came into the kitchen and sat next to him.

"because we are staying for breakfast and when we get home, your going to finish picking up your stuffed animals because I know your room is a mess" Pete said as Brittany put pancakes down and then went to get Leslie and Kat for breakfast.

"do I have to clean them up they were having a tea party" Shay asked.

"yes you have to,tea parties don't last forever" Pete said as he put some pancakes on her plate.

"What if I don't want to" Shay asked.

"Then we aren't doing anything else today" Pete said.

"Fine" Shay replied as she began to eat.

"Little Mills, do you want me to paint your nails before you go, you crashed early last night" Leslie asked

Shay smiled, "light blue with sparkles"

Leslie made herself a plate and then got some more coffee, "I can do that"

"Sweet, daddy can we watch Cinderella when we go home" Shay asked.

"After you clean up your stuffed animals and I do the dishes we can watch Cinderella" Pete said.

After breakfast Mills and Shay headed home.

"Daddy I can't find my blanket" Shay said coming into the kitchen where Pete was cleaning the stove.

"did you take it to Mom's I know you usually do" Pete asked.

"I don't know" Shay said her eyes welling up with tears.

"I'll call mom and find out, if it's not there maybe Aunt Brittany has it" Pete said as he reached for the phone and called Shay's mom Kenna.

"Hello" Kenna said picking up.

"Hey, do you have Shay's blanket" Pete asked.

"I don't" Kenna said

"Alright well she can't find it so if you by chance find it let me know" Pete said.

"I told you I don't have it, maybe she left with her precious aunt and Uncle, she spends way more time with them than me" Kenna replied.

Pete sighed, "That's not true and you know that"

"Oh whatever let me know if you find it" Kenna said hanging up.

"Does she have it" Shay asked.

"No she doesn't" Pete said as there was knock on the door.

"Shay, I found your blanket in the living room at our house" Noah said as he let himself in.

"Thank you No-No" Shay said taking her blanket and hugging him.

"Anytime munchkin" Noah said.

"She was totally freaking out thanks so much" Pete said.
