Chapter 2: First Playdate

Ethan and Paulette's Apartment, Angel Grove

July 10, 2009

3 pm

Kira walked down the hall to Ethan and Paulette's apartment with Isabelle's baby carrier on her arm. She got to the apartment and knocked on the door.

A few minutes later Paulette answered the door.

"Hey, Kira, come on in," Paulette said as Kira walked in.

Isabelle and David were 2 weeks old and were already showing their personalities. Isabelle was the girly girl and David was the flirt. Today they were going to meet each other for the first time on their first playdate.

Kira put the carrier down and got the harness undone and lifted Isabelle out of the seat. She put Isabelle down on her back next to David. Isabelle and David's eyes met and they both started to cry.

Kira and Paulette picked up the babies and rocked them gently.

"I think they scared each other, that's all," Kira said.

"Probably," Paulette said.

They laid the babies down again, the babies more relaxed than before.

"So, how was David's doctor appointment?" Kira asked.

"Good. He gained a whole pound. Just what the doctor wanted. How was Isabelle's appointment?" Paulette asked.

"Good also. She also gained a whole pound."

"That's good. Graduation's coming up in five days. Are you excited?"

"Very. For four years of hard work I deserve it."

"Yeah, me too. Did you have to get your gown resized?"

"Not by much. You?"

"Just a little. I can't wait to get this baby fat off me. I just joined a gym and signed up for Nutrisystem."

"Same here."

"Trent texted Ethan and said that he and Mel will be in town for graduation. They already had theirs last week. Ethan apologized for us for not making it, what with the babies and all."

"Yeah, Conner apologized for us too. Trent understood."

"You know, he and Mel's relationship is moving along nicely."

"Yeah. They've been together for what, 4 years? They already have big plans after college."

"Yeah, they're looking for a place to live in Reefside. They're looking at a place close to Dr. O and Kim."

"Dr. O was the one who suggested it in the first place."

"Oh, now I remember. It's the same size as Dr. O's house, right?"

"Yeah, three bedrooms, one and a half baths, a nice basement."

"Didn't Trent's dad say he would pay all the fees for that place?"

"Yeah, he did, so Trent's taking advantage of his dad's money and getting a decent place."

Then Paulette's phone started ringing.

"Hold on, it's Ethan. Hello?" Paulette answered the phone, "oh, you're coming home an hour early? Okay, I'll start supper. Love you, bye," Paulette said, hanging up.

"How is Ethan at being a dad, anyways?" Kira asked.

"He's holding his own. The baby's waking up in the wee hours of the night has been getting to him, but he's handling it pretty well," Paulette said.

"Yeah, Conner's doing pretty okay with parenting, except he gags when he changes Isabelle's poopy diapers."

"Ethan does that too. He refuses to change poopy diapers. Carrie said Rocky was that way in the beginning but after a couple more babies he can stand the smell now and he's a pro at them."

"Yeah, at least they know how to change diapers. Thank God for baby boot camp. By the way, when does boot camp start up again for us?"

"Next week. We have to start bringing the babies to class with us from now on."

Kira and Paulette kept on chatting while Paulette was making dinner. An hour later Ethan came home, and Kira got Isabelle back in her car seat and said her goodbyes. She left the apartment then.
