Chapter 2.

A Few Weeks later

Calleigh was at Home with Pip. Carmen had brought the girls some art materials like Poster paints, paper etc. Christi had gone out with Carmen shopping. Calleigh had set Pip up with the paints and paper, Calleigh turned her back for 2 seconds. Pip had started to paint something else, Her blonde hair.

"Momma ook!" Pip giggles "Ant be like isti and dada, ark air" Pip adds Calleigh turns and sighs.

"Oh Pip baby girl. Don't do that. You look very pretty with hair like momma. Besides you have momma's looks and not dada's."

"Ant be like dada" Pip said with a pout Just as Eric walks in, "You are like dada. You act just like him. And you have his cute smile." Calleigh said scooping Pip up and heading toward the bathroom to give Pip a bath so that she can wash her hair out.

"Cal, What has she done to her hair?" Eric asks following Calleigh up the stairs.

"She painted it because she wants to look like you and Christi." Calleigh says with a sigh.

"You want me to bath her, so you can clean the kitchen up"

"Please, I don't know what's gonna on with them, It as if Pip is jealous…………"

"jealous of what Calleigh, She only one" Eric said taking Pip from her mother

"They'll be Two in a couple of weeks, Eric."

"Dada, ook I ot ark air" Pip said giggling

"I see you have, you painted your pretty hair" Eric said

"Not pwetty, Isiti hair pwetty" Pip said sadly. Eric turns and looks at Calleigh. He could see tears forming in her green eyes.

"Momma's hair Pretty isn't it?" Eric asks Pip nods. "Ok then let go get this paint out of your pretty blonde hair" Eric says heading into the bathroom. Once Eric had washed the paint out, He carries Pip down stairs in her little swimming suit and him in a pair of swimming trunks "I got most of it out, The rest will grow out in time Calleigh. It about time I taught both girls how to swim. I'll teach them separately"

"Eric, you think that is wise?" Calleigh asks pouring Juice into a sippy cup for Pip.

"Dada," Pip said patting Eric's cheek.

"Yea Pippi?" Eric asked giving her his attention.

"wove ew!" Pip says with a giggle.

"What about momma?" Eric asks

"wove momma oo!" Pip said snuggling into Eric's crook of his neck

"and Christi?" Calleigh asks wrapping her arms around Eric's waist and Eric wraps his free arm around Calleigh's waist.

"Wove isti oo" Pip says as Call plants a kiss on her head. "but! Isti ean o e!" Pip sighed.

"I know she can be Sweetheart." Eric said hugging Pip's body to his before adding "Ok let go out to the pool" He says taking the sippy cup from Calleigh.

"I'll get Christi in her suit when Carmen comes back with her" Calleigh says with a grin

"Okay. Come on sweetie. Daddy is going to teach you on how to swim!" Eric told Pip as he carried her out back.

Thirty minutes later

Calleigh looks up when she hears a car pull into the drive. Seeing it was Carmen in her VW Beetle. Calleigh smiles as Carmen comes though the door with Christi on her hip. "momma," Christi said holding out her cubby arms to Calleigh.

"Hi baby girl." Calleigh said taking Christi.

"air Dada?" Christi asked hearing Pip's squeals of laughter from outside. Christi little bottom lip started to quiver. "Dada" She repeats

"He outside with Pip in the pool, baby girl, Daddy said to get you changed and take you out there so you can join in the fun. But listen to me Christina" Christi looks at her mom and grins

"NO, being mean to your Sister, If you are Daddy will get me to take you out of the pool"

Christi nods and yawns and lays her tiny head on Calleigh shoulder and wraps her arms around Calleigh's neck and starts to doze off on her shoulder. She sticks her left thumb in her mouth and dozes off to sleep.

"Ok, I'll get you changed and we well go sit out by the pool while you have you nap" Calleigh said Christi whimpers in her sleep. Carmen fixes some Iced Tea for the both of them and carries it out to the pool.

"Hey Mami, Where's Christi?" He asks as Pip splashes Eric with water.

"Napping. She was tuckered out and dozed off on Calleigh. She's getting her changed into her bathing suit then she's going bring her out here and lay down on one of the sun lounges until she wakes up." Calleigh appears carrying Christi in a Purple swimsuit. Calleigh had put her own suit on too. A Pale Turquoise Bikini. She sits down on one of the Lounges with Christi on her chest.

Pip Splash Eric again.

Eric nodded and laughed when Pip splashed him and gave him a mad look.

"DADA!" Pip said.

"What is it Pippi?"

"Aly ith e!"

"I am playing with you, aren't I" Eric said grabbing her and throwing her up and catching her again before holding her in the water under her arms.

"Pippi, I want you to kick you legs for me, make big splashes ok" Eric said. Pip started to do as she was told and kick her legs. Eric lets her go and moves back. Pip had her water wings on she kicked her legs again and giggles as she moves forward in the water,

"Calleigh, Pip's swimming" Eric calls over Waking Christi up with his shout,

Christi starts crying and calls for Carmen.

"NANA!"

"Hey! Momma's, got you" Calleigh said "Dada didn't mean to wake you up but look Christi" Calleigh added Pointing towards Pip "Pippi swimming"

"E ant o wim" Christi said looking at Eric and Pip in the water. Eric goes to put Pip on the

edge of the pool but Pip screams "No! dada, e tay in ater" Pip said as tears roll down her cheeks "I'll put you in the water as soon as I get Christi. Okay?"

Calleigh hands Christi to Eric. Put as she does Pip rolls forward and flops into the water.

"PIP!" Calleigh screams, Pip suddenly pops up spluttering water

"Eric hand me Christi. And check Pip out."

Eric handed Christi up to Calleigh and then he checks Pip out.

"No ant Dada" Christi shouts,

"Okay. Just wait a minute. Dada needs to check Pip out for a minute." But Pip is holding onto Eric sobbing her heart out again.

"She hates it when I have Christi. Pip thinks I give more attention to Christi then her" Eric says

"And Christi thinks the opposite" Calleigh says getting in the water with Christi on her hip. Christi pouts and wiggles in Calleigh's arms.

Christi holds her arms out to Eric. Eric takes her on his other Hip. But Christi goes to push Pip

"CHRISTINA NO! YOU DON'T PUSH YOUR TWIN, PIP HAS A RIGHT TO CUDDLE ME TOO" Eric says in an anger but firm tone,

Christi's bottom lip quivers and she starts crying and holds her arms out to Calleigh now crying.

Calleigh sighs "you must not do this Christi,"

"Come lets get them dry and give them their tea" Carmen said taking Christi and wrapping her in a big purple fluffy towel. Christi had all purple things and Pip had all pink things.
