I'm surprised how fast I was to the next chapter. It might take awhile for the new one but you'll have to wait and see.
I hope you enjoy this:)
Dinner Conversations
I grabbed Robbie's car seat from the back seat and waited for Joseph as he grabbed the baby bag, and meeting me at the hood of the car.
"I have never slept so good before." Sophia said stretching. She looked down at Joseph in the car seat and made a funny face at him. "God this kid is so darn cute."
"You ready?" Joseph asked. Okay, I know me and Joseph aren't official but just meeting his parent's is freaking me out. He walked into the house without knocking and set the baby bag on a table. I followed him into a big kitchen and set the car seat on the table.
"Can I hold him?" Sophia asked me.
"Of course." I told her and picked Robbie up and handed him to her. I watched as she held Robbie and walked around the room with him. A middle aged women with grey hair walked into the room and yelled at Joseph.
"Joseph Michael Richardson, get over here and give your mom a hug." she said. It was his mom. Joseph smiled and walked over and hugged her. She looked at Sophia and stopped in her tracks. "What are you holding?"
"Oh, no mom he's not mine." Sophia said walking over to me and handing me Robbie.
"And who are you?" Joseph's mom asked smiling. "Are you the girl that Joseph was telling me about?
"Yes, I'm Ella." I told her shifting Robbie to my other arm.
"I'm Anna." she said walking forward "Is this your son?"
"Yes, his name is Robbie."
"Very nice." she said smiling. "I'm going to start on dinner why don't you two take Ella and introduce her to your brother and sister. I followed Joseph into the basement where two people were sitting. One was a girl she had the most beautiful blonde hair and hazel eyes, she looked like a model. The other was a tall guy very build he looked like a big football player.
"Oh my god , is this her?" the blonde girl from the couch said standing up. "I'm Cassie."
"Ella." I told her. I set Robbie on the ground and he crawled towards the couch. "That's Robbie."
"David!" Cassie said to the guy sitting on the couch.
"What? Oh, sorry." he said taking his eyes off the football game. "I'm David, first born favorite child." Then went back to the game.
Sophia went over and played with Robbie, Joseph led me back upstairs and outback where there was nothing but land. "This is so beautiful." I told him.
"It's the best part about coming come." he said wrapping his arms around me "Other than my mom's cooking and her taking care of me twenty four seven."
"Thank you for bringing me here." I told him. Hopefully the rest of the night would go by smoothly.

"Morris Museum of Art?" I asked Paul smiling.
"Yeah, I thought it would be a cool. Since you like art and stuff." he said holding the door open for me.
"This is so over whelming." I said as I looked at the art pieces.
"I knew you'd like it." Paul said smiling. I walked over to were the landscape paintings were. "What got you into art."
"My mom actually." I said moving to the next painting "She used to buy me all these sketch pads , easels and paint supplies. I thought it was stupid, I obviously wanted to be a princess." Paul smiled "Then one night I was acting like a brat and I got sent to my room. I took out my anger on my easel painting and painting. I went through six easels and three sketch pads. I was seven."
"You're a real trouble maker aren't you?" Paul asked me.
"I was when I was seven." I told him. I walked over and sat down on a bench in front of a painting.
"Well I can't tell that you've defiantly changed."
"Thank you." I told him. "Thank you for taking me here."
"I can't wait until I see your work in here one day." Paul said smiling. I reached over and held on to his hand and had no plan on letting go.
(Ella POV)
We all sat down around the table for dinner. I sat Robbie in my lap because they didn't have a highchair for him.
"This is really good." I told Anna as I bit into the deep fried fish. Robbie tried to reach for it but I just ripped him off a tiny piece and fed it to him.
"Thank you, it's fish and chips." Anna said.
"Are you an only child?" Cassie asked me.
"No, I have three older brother and one younger brother." I told her.
"If you don't mind me asking but where is Robbie's dad?" Anna asked. I hated this, I never talked about never wanted to.
"He's - uh - well, I'm not sure." I told her. "When I told him I was pregnant he kinda took off."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Anna said.
"It's fine."
"I'm here!" A loud voice shouted from the living room then Addie walked in, wearing a very short red dress.
"Late." Cassie said under her breath. Robbie started crying , I handed him to Joseph to I could make I bottle. I took Robbie back and went into the living room to feed and rock Robbie. Once Robbie was asleep I used pillows to create a border so he wouldn't fall off and laid him on the couch. As I walked back into the dining room I was taking the top off the bottle so I could wash it out I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and ran straight into Addie. She was holding a glass of pop so when I ran into her it spilled all over her dress.
"Oh my god!" I said as I looked at what I had done. "Addie, I'm so sorry."
"You bitch." Addie said looking at me.
"ADDIE!" Anna yelled at her.
"Mom look at what she did." Addie said motioning to her dress "This is new. It's going to stain, how could you?"
"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. " I told her.
"Obviously, maybe if you got your head out of your ass you would be a little smarter." she said and stormed off.
"I'm sorry." I told them and left the dining room. I walked out the door and sat on the steps, I can't believe I just embarrassed myself like that. The front door opened behind me and I didn't want to see who it was.
"Hey." Cassie said sitting down next to me.
"I am so sorry about Addie's dress." I told her.
"Trust me it's fine." she said wrapping an arm around me "Out of all of us we all hate her the most. She's a drama queen and thinks' she can get what she wants' because she's the baby of the family."
"This is horrible, what does your mom think? Should I leave?" I asked her
"No, you don't need to leave. My mom she could really care less about Addie, it's just a dress. A dress that Addie probably had a duplicate of. Now," she said pulling me too my feet and leading me inside. "let's finish eating." When I walked inside it's like nothing even happened.
I sat down next to Joseph and he leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Don't mind her, okay?" I nodded, he leaned over and kissed my cheek.
Everything went back to normal we ate and talked and then we had to start packing up so we could leave. "I really wish you could stay." Anna said hugging me.
"Me too." I told her. "Thank you letting me come here."
"Anytime, and I want to thank you. I have never seen Joseph smile as much as he does with you."
"Oh, we're just - uh friends." I told her.
"Right, you keep telling yourself that." she said smiling. After I strapped Robbie safely to the seat I hugged everyone else goodbye. After a couple minutes on the road I called Paul.
"Hey, where are you at? Okay, yeah we just left. Okay that's perfect, alright thanks again. Love you, bye." I shoved my phone in my pocket and relaxed. "They're going to leave in an hour so they should be at the house the same time as us."
"Okay, now lay back and take a nap. You look tired." So I closed my eyes and let the drive put me to sleep.
(Bella POV)
"Paul are you kidding me right now?" I asked him as I leaned against the side of his car. He was trying to fix it because it wouldn't start.
"Listen I'm doing what I can." Paul said as he leaned in the hood of his truck.
"I'm just saying if we are not back in Savannah when your sister is she's going to be so pissed."
"You think I don't know that." he said.
"Sorry, I'm making that situation ten times worse aren't I?"
"Actually you're making it ten times better by just being here." I smiled at his comment. After a couple minutes of working on the car it finally started.
"Praise Jesus." I said getting back into the truck. When Paul got in he unexpectedly reached across and kissed me. "What was that for?"
"Just for being you, and for coming on this date with me."
"Is that was this was?" I asked "A date?"
"Well, I sure hope so." Paul said smiling. "Because I like you." I leaned across the seat grabbed his face in my hands and kissed him.
"I like you too." I said "Now come on, we gotta get home."
(Ella POV)
"He's late." I said yawning. I was sitting with Joseph on his couch waiting for Paul and Bella. It was eight and my brother was supposed to be back at seven thirty.
"You could always sleep here." Joseph said winking at me. I looked over at a sleeping Robbie, and took the chance and sat on Joseph's lap.
"Maybe I'll stay the night one night when I don't have the baby." I whispered to him.
"I could easily help you find a sitter." he said smiling. Cars doors slammed shut and I got up as Paul ran through the door.
"I am so sorry, The car wouldn't work then I had to drop Bella off.." Paul said shouting, that woke Robbie up. I got up put his pacifier in his mouth to quite him.
"It's okay." I told him "Let's just go home, I'm really tired." I handed Robbie to Paul so he could go strap him into his truck.
"I will call you tomorrow. Maybe," Joseph said wrapping his arms around my waist and drawing me closer. "you can find a babysitter and we can have some alone time."
"Hmm, I'll think about it. I have to work tomorrow though, are you finished with the Turner house yet." I asked him
"Should be by tomorrow." he said smiling. "Then I can focus all my time on you."
"Oh well I feel special." I told him. Paul honked the horn and I knew he wanted to get going. "Alright, I gotta go, but I'll see you later." Joseph leaned forward and kissed me.
"Night."
"Sorry." I said to Paul once I got back in his truck.
"It's fine sorry I was late." he said backing up.
"Did you have fun today?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I took her someplace special and I can tell that she really appreciated it."
"Good, as to me I slipped pop all over his sisters dress in front of the whole family. Thank god that they all hate that sister so they were okay with it."
"Oh, El you always know how to make a scene." Paul said smiling.
Alright, it might have been short but I want to give you two chapters.
