Chapter 4

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Ellie repeated as she watched Gabby prepare the turkey, "Me help!" She looked up at her eagerly.

Gabby usually loved her daughter's willingness to help but when she was already stressed out it was the last thing she wanted to deal with, "You helped Mommy get out the ingredients for the dinner." She hoped this would stop a meltdown. She was wrong. Ellie stared at her and frowned then she took a deep breath and opened her mouth, Gabby knew what was coming next, a temper tantrum.

"NO!" Ellie screamed as she began kicking her feet against the counter where she sat, "NO! NO!" She yelled, "NO! MOMMY!" She looked at her.

"Elizabeth," Gabby very rarely used her daughter's full name and when she did she always took notice, "Big girls don't have temper tantrums."

"Uh Aunt Gabby," Eva interrupted with a alight blush of embarrassment, "Did you want me to make the stuffing?"

"Oh the stuffing!" She exclaimed, "I knew I forgot something! Yes Eva you go and do that."

"Go and get your brother to help and take Ellie with you," Laura told her daughter.

"Right," Eva picked up Ellie and walked out of the room.

"Okay Gabby," Esmeralda sighed and shook her head, "Can we help you now?"

"Mom I-" She stopped, Jacob was crying and without even looking at the time she knew he needed to be fed, "I'll be back," She left the room and went into the living room to see Matt holding a wailing Jacob.

"He wants me," Gabby made her presence known as she stepped further into the room, "Come here baby," She lifted her son up and held him.

"Here," Matt stood to let her sit down.

"Thanks," Gabby sat down and smiled as h handed her a pillow as well.

"NO! NO!" Eva was continuing to fight anyone who tried to touch her and she frowned at her mother, "Bad baby!" She pointed to Jacob, "Bad! Bad! She declared.

"No, no," Gabby told her, "Your brothers a small baby he needs my attention more then you do right now. You're a big girl you know Mommy's really busy."

Again Ellie frowned and she just stomped her foot and continued to glare at her, "Don't do that Ellie," Kelly tried to approach her but she began to cry and she screamed even louder.

"Ellie!" Andy hit her I the arm, "Shut up!"

"Excuse me?" Matt turned to look at his son, "We don't use words like that. And you know you don't hit your sister."

"But she's annoying," Andy complained.

"Mean!" Ellie bite him on the arm.

"Ouch!" Andy went to hit her again but Matt picked him up and Kelly grabbed Ellie.

"I'll try and put her down for a n-a-p," Kelly said.

"Good idea," Matt smiled appreciatively as he carried Andy towards the washroom.

"I'll come and help," Brianne stood and walked behind Kelly as he carried the toddler up the stairs and into a light pink room. "Ah a princess room," She thought was appropriate, "And who's this?" She asked picking up a framed picture on the dresser; it was of a woman he didn't recognize.

Kelly answered without looking at it, "That's Leslie Shay; Ellie's named after her. She and Gabby were best friends and she and I uh-" He couldn't find the words to finish his sentence.

"Right," She placed the picture back down and didn't say another word about it. She had heard Kelly briefly mention the name a few times but had never got any details out of him.

"Sleepie Lelly," Ellie yawned as she hugged her teddy bear Kelly close and closed her eyes.

"Good," Kelly kissed her forehead and then lifted up the rails on the bed, "Good night sweetheart," He blew her a kiss and turned on her baby monitor before leaving the room and opening the door just a little.

"You're a natural," Brianne smiled as they walked down the stairs, "You ever think of having kids of your own?"

"Yeah," He shrugged, "Came close a few times but I guess it was never the right time."

"Ah," She nodded;

Jacob cradled in her arms Gabby went back into the kitchen with the knowledge she was still making thanksgiving dinner, "What are you guys doing?" She gasped as she saw her mother, Laura and Eva all working on various things, "I said I could handle it."

Her mother turned to her and sighed, "Gabriela I love you but you're not thinking straight; you have a new baby who needs you, a two year old who needs you and a four year old that needs you. Your family comes first; I thought you knew that. We can do all of thus you just look after yourself; go and take a nap the boys can handle Andy for a few hours.

"Mom I-"

"Aunt Gabby," Eva sighed, "It'll be okay; I want you to sleep can you do that?"

She gave her niece a tired smile, "I can try," She nodded and carried Jacob back up the stairs and into the master bedroom; she put Jacob in his cradle and then laid on the bed; not surprisingly it didn't take her long to fall asleep. When she awoke she woke to the smell of turkey. She got up to see how Jacob was doing but found the cradle empty. Why didn't I hear him wake up? She brushed her now messy hair and walked quickly down the stairs.

"Mommy!" Andy ran up to her bouncing on the balls of his feet, "Guess what?"

"What baby?" She moved some hair away from her face.

"Daddy said that he's going to take me with him!"

"Take you where?"

"When he helps people with snowy driveways. Like old people," He grinned proudly up at her.

"Oh he is," Gabby smiled, she and Matt had talked about Andy going to help Matt out sometimes but nothing had been decided yet, from the couch his husband whispered an 'I'm sorry' and Gabby looked back down at her son for more information.

"Diego's going too," He grinned, "But Daddy's going to pay him. Uncle Antonio said no."

"I see," She was starting to get a general understanding of what had happened. "When did this all happen?" She sat down on Matt's lap a looked around at her family and friends.

"Awhile ago he's just been excited to tell you," Matt told her, "You have a good nap."

"Yeah," She nodded but then stood up, "I should go see what I can do to help in the kitchen."

"Babe they have everything under control," Matt tried to tell her with no luck she still walked into he kitchen, "Sorry I fell asleep."

"No, no Gabriela," Esmerelda looked sternly at her, "You'll have plenty of time to cook family dinners but right now is not one of them. You're to stubborn for your own good sometimes and I'm glad Ellie's just like you," She shook her head and walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek.

"Why?"

"So that you can see all of the struggles I went through when you were her age," She explained, "She's been refusing to leave the kitchen, and lets just sat things haven't been easy" She explained and she pointed to where Ellie was now attempting to touch the pie batter Eva was making.

"Oh no?" She shook her head, "Ellie," She walked up to her daughter with the intention of talking to her but saw her in her apron and little chef's hat and a huge smile.

"Mommy! I elp! Lots!" She told her proudly.

"Yeah, You been helping Eva with the pie?"

"Oh yeah she's been lots of help," Eva explained with sarcasm.

"Mommy look," Ellie dipped her hand into the batter and began to stir it like Eva had been doing.

"Ellie!" Eva exclaimed in frustration, "Don't do that!"

Ellie began to cry and Eva just rolled her eyes; she knew her cousin wasn't really upset and just trying to get what she wanted.

"Ellie Eva's right," Gabby told her, "You need to listen to her. When she asks for your help you can help."

"No!" She threw her hands up and cried even louder, "Lelly bear!" She screamed, "Lelly!"

"Did I hear my name?" Kelly appeared seconds later carrying Ellie's teddy bear Kelly and her new baby doll Kelly.

"Lelly!" She looked up at him, her tears now gone.

"Come here princess," Kelly picked her up, "Lets go and play. I miss you, you've been in here all day."

"Oday," She happily agreed, never being able nor wanting to say no to playing with Kelly.

"Good," He carried her out of the kitchen.

"He's been trying that since she woke up half an hour ago," Laura explained to Gabby, "Matt even tried a few times, didn't work, maybe what she really wanted was to see you."

"Yeah maybe," Gabby nodded, "So can I at least help?"

"Yes," Esmerelda told her smiling, "You can always help dear.
