"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Rachel yelled as she ran over to her from the jungle gym. It's one of the few days that her mommy doesn't have to go to work and she is so excited they are spending the day together. Plus Daddy, Papa, and Blainie were coming and she couldn't wait to see them! It felt like she hadn't seen them in forever!

"What's up Baby?" Shelby asked when the three year old got to her.

"We go get daddies and Blainie soon?"

"Not yet Sweet cheeks, we still have," the mother checked her watch, "five more hours. But I know one thing that will help make the time go by super fast."

"What?"

"A nap, which it is almost time for." she picked the little up, much to her displeasure, and started the walk home.

"Noooooo! I no need a nap! I wanna stay at da park!" Okay so maybe she was a little tired, but she surely couldn't tell Mommy that.

"I know you wanna stay at the park Rach, but you do need a nap and it is almost time to take one. We are going to have to stay up late so we can go pick up your daddies and Blaine. In order for you to do that, you need to take a nap!" Finally, after four songs and two stories the tot was asleep and the mother wanted to take one herself. But she couldn't, she had a lunch date with Cassie in twenty minutes and she still had to make lunch. The two of them had been seeing each other for almost three months, but because they weren't really ready to go public they would be staying away from each other for the next week while the Berry men were in the city. She taking the week off the show so the blonde wouldn't be babysitting like usual.

"Are you sure you don't want to at least tell the Berry men?" Shelby asked as she bit into an apple slice.

"Shell, I'm positive." They continued to talk for a few minutes before Rachel came from the master bedroom, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, her hair a mess. "Hey! There's my little star! Did you have a good nap?"

"Hi Aunt Cassie," the little girl mumbled, walking over to her mother and climbing into her lap, "Mommy."

"Oh somebody is still sleepy," Shelby cooed, rubbing circles on her back, "Why don't you go sit with Aunt Cassie, you're not going to see her for the next few days while your daddies are here."

"Nooooooooo!" the little girl whined.

"What?" Cassie acted like she was hurt, "Does my little star not like me any more?"

"Noooo!" Rachel whined again, "I want Aunt Cassie!" she started to cry.

"Oh Baby, don't worry I'll be back next week, I just won't see you this week." The blonde took Rachel from Shelby and sat down in the living room.

"Buh this week!" the tot cried.

"You really want me to come around this week?" Cassie sighed looking at her girlfriend. Shelby looked at her as to say 'its up to you.'

"Peeze?" Cassie sighed.

"Alright, I'll come by in a few days," she looked at the brunette that was in the middle of the room, "We'll tell the Berry men then."

Shelby smiled and mouthed 'I love you" before she joined them on the couch to cuddle and watch some tv.

—A FEW HOURS LATER—

Shelby stood in the airport holding Rachel on her hip. The plane had just landed and now they were looking for looking for their guests. It didn't take long for the men and their seven year old came along.

"Aunt Shelby!" Blaine yelled when he say the woman and started running to her.

"Hey buddy," Shelby ruffled his hair as he hugged her leg.

"Hi Blainie," Rachel mumbled, even with the nap, she was sleepy and was just ready to go home. Shelby passed her to Hiram, "Hi Papa," Leroy kissed her temple, "Hi Daddy." Rachel stayed awake until they got to the car and once it was moving, she was out.

When she woke she was laying on the pull out couch with her mommy's arm draped over her tummy and the sun was shining through the window. The sun was up, that means it was time for everyone to get up. She climbed up onto her mother's back and started to bounce.

"Mommy, it's time to get up!" Shelby groaned.

"Baby, let mommy sleep, go wake up your daddies." This seemed like a good idea, so the three year old crawled off the bed and ran into the master bedroom where the men always slept. She thought about it and realized it had to be harder to wake up two people than it was to wake just one, she needed help! She ran over to her room and woke Blaine up.

"What?"

"Blainie, I needs your help waken up Daddies!" She was pulling the boy out of the her bed. The boy gave up the fight and got out of the bed.

"Alright, let's go," He led her to the other bedroom, before opening the door her whispered, "How do you wanna do it Rach?"

"Les jump on em, that wakes Mommy up mos times." Blaine shrugged and crept into the bedroom, he helped his sister up onto the bed before climbing up behind her. The started to jump on the bed, "Daddy! Papa! Its wake up time!"

Hiram and Leroy had been up talking for a little bit when they heard the stomping of little feet headed their way, they knew what was coming, they had a three year old, so they played back down and pretended to be asleep. They got worried when she didn't come barging into the room, but smiled even more when they heard their son whisper to his sister. They let the kids jump on the bed a few times before they came up and grabbed one each. Hiram ended up with Rachel in his arms and Blaine in Leroy's.

"What are you two up to huh?" Hiram said tickling the little girl, her laugh just brought a smile to the faces of everyone that heard it.

"Da suns up, we gots to get up too," Rachel replied.

"Alright, we are up. and what shall we have for breakfast?" Leroy asked.

"Waffles!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Cinnamon Waffles!" Blaine added, Rachel nodded.

"Cinnamon waffles it is then." The four walked to the kitchen together and Leroy started to make the batter, while Hiram looked for the waffle iron, the kids watched.

"Shelby!" Hiram called into the living room, "Where do you keep your waffle iron?" There was mumbling from the other room, "Great, say that again in English for me love?"

"Cupboard above the fridge!" the man looked there and found it.

"Thank you!" There was a grunt in reply.

A little later the five of them sat at the round table in the kitchen eating their waffles. Shelby looked around her, Rachel was covered from head to toe in syrup, Leroy was attempting to clean the little girl up, and Hiram was trying to stop Blaine, who was pouring an almost full bottle of syrup onto his second pancake. Her family was strange in more ways than she could ever imagine.
