Okay, so here it is chapter two! R&R!!

Eric and Calleigh arrived at her house

Eric and Calleigh arrived at her house. Calleigh went into each room to make sure that everything was child-proof. The last thing she wanted was one of her nieces getting hurt and then having to deal with her very annoying sister-in-law. She went into the kitchen to start their dinner.

"What are they going to eat?" Eric asked.

"I'm making them Mac and Cheese, why?" She said in a tired tone.

"Here I'll make the dinner and you go rest for the 'angles', you look wiped out."

"No, its okay, I can handle it." She protested.

"Calleigh, don't argue with me. I'm not taking no as an answer." He said in a stern tone.

"Fine, just keep stirring it every five minutes and do not over cook it, they will have a fit." She stated.

"Cal I think I can handle it. Now you sleep." He pointed to the couch. She did as told and walked over to the couch. She closed her eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.

An hour later the door bell rang, which pulled Calleigh out of her slumber. She slowly got up and opened the door. There standing in front of her were the five little children she was going to have to baby-sit for the next six hours.

"Auntie!" Four of the five children screamed. Samantha handed her the four month old child. Calleigh took the baby and coddled her. Bouncing her in her arms, the baby smiled and giggled.

"Hey girlies." Calleigh smiled.

"Okay now Calleigh I'm going to pick them up at ten and-" she was cut off by the sight of Eric, "Hun, who is this attractive specimen of a man?" Samantha said dangerously.

"Samantha Ann Duquesne!"

"What?" She said Samantha innocently.

"You are married!"

"So?"

"So…Down girl!" Calleigh replied.

"I'm Sam and you are?"

"Eric, its nice to meet you. I'm helping out Calleigh…that is if you're okay with it."

"Yeah that's fine, just as long as there are no make out sessions, got it?" She looked at both of them.

"Samantha I think it's time for you to leave now."

"Okay I know when I am not wanted. Bye love you all and girls be good!" She waved goodbye and walked out.

"Alright girlies, who's hungry?" Four hands went up.

"Wait!" the oldest said, "we have to introduce ourselves first."

"Okay honey. This is Eric." She pointed, then continued, "Eric, this is Annie, the oldest, Bridget, the second oldest, Maggie and Audrey, the twins, and the youngest, Ava. Now its dinner time," she turned to Eric, "hey can you heat up the Mac and Cheese, while I get Ava her food and milk?"

"Sure, no problem." He walked over to the fridge and grabbed the food. He put it in the microwave, when the timer went off he put it in separate bowls for each of the children. Calleigh took out the mashed peas, how any child could or would eat this was beyond her. She placed Ava in the baby seat, put the bib on her and put some food on the spoon.

"Open wide." she said in a sweet voice. When Ava wouldn't open her mouth, Calleigh sighed. "Come on baby girl, open up. I only need you to take a couple more bites." Calleigh pleaded. "I really don't want to do this but you have forced me to, so here it is." Eric watched as Calleigh attempted to feed Ava. "Here comes the airplane," she moved the spoon to make it look like it was flying. "zoom!" Eric chuckled at the sight but kept his comments to himself. She smiled when Ava took the bite. "That's my girl!" The baby started to clap her hands and bounce in her chair. Ava took three more bites and then she was done. When Ava finished she was a mess, a cute mess but a mess none the less. She walked to the sink and got a wet cloth. Wiping the child's face, she started humming. Eric did not know what the song was but this was definitely a Kodak moment. It looked so natural, Calleigh with a baby, he could picture it. Actually he could picture his child in his wife's arms and his wife would be no other than the blonde, green-eyed, beautiful, southern, girl Calleigh.

"So girls what do you want to do?" asked Calleigh.

"Well it depends on what time it is." Annie declared. Eric and Calleigh smirked at her tone and serious face.

"Its six o'clock now, we have four hours left."

"Okay, we can schedule this out. We can watch a movie and depending on how long the movie is we can read some story books to the little ones and then play some games until mummy comes home." She explained.

"What movie?" Four different answers came out.

"Okay, let's do this in an orderly fashion." Annie demanded.

"Huh?" Maggie and Audrey said simultaneously.

"For the love of God woman, would you speak English! I'm smarter than those two and I don't even know what you said!" Bridget yelled.

"Your younger than me, so that means your more stupider." She said a matter-of-factly.

"Oh yeah that's defiantly proper English you numbskull! Now Auntie Calleigh and Eric are in charge so stop being so difficult!"

"No I'm in charge!"

"Are you challenged or something. Just shut up and stop being such a kiss up!"

"Whatever! God you can be so obnoxious sometimes!" Annie roared.

"Oh shut up!" Bridget blasted.

"No you shut up!"

"No you shut up!"

"No you shut up!"

"No you shut up!"

"Girls!" Calleigh yelled. "Both of you be quiet! Ya'll are old enough not to have a 'no you shut up' fight. Cut the crap and act your age! Now this is what we are gonna do, we'll watch a movie and go from there." Calleigh turned to the other two children. "Maggie, Audrey, what would you two like to watch?"

"Monsters INC!" They both screamed.

"Okay, lets go." The two ran in front of Eric and Calleigh. They sat down and played the movie. Eric was on one side of the couch and Calleigh on the other. In between them were the twins, the other two were laying on the floor together in silence and Ava was asleep in Calleigh's arms. Calleigh looked over at Eric; he was looking at the twins lovingly, like a father would. He would make a great dad, Calleigh thought. Eric caught Calleigh staring at him; they made eye contact, that's when Ava started to cry. Calleigh's gaze immediately went to the baby. She begin to rock the child to try to calm her.

"Shhh, its okay sweetie." She said soothingly. She got up and walked to her bed room, while rocking her side to side. Eric stepped in quietly behind her. She turned to him and looked up. "Can you hold her for a second?"

"Sure." He said softly. She began to whimper. "Hey now, none of that. Shhh, you're safe." Calleigh placed the pillows so that when she put Ava down she wouldn't roll off. She tip-toed back to Eric and carefully took the baby. She put her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. She took another moment to make sure she was all settled. She leaned against the door jam and rested her head on the cold wood. She let out a breath and stared at Ava.

"She's beautiful." Calleigh simply stated. Eric looked at her.

"Yeah." She realized that he was not talking about Ava. A light blush crept up to her neck and slowly went to her cheeks. She was thankful for the dim lighting.

She turned to him and they made eye contact. He moved in closer to her, Calleigh's heart was beating faster. Eric was so close to her that he was sending chills down her spine. They were an inch apart, he wanted her, she wanted him…….

So what ya think?? R&R!! I'll give you a cookie...two if your really nice!!
