"Daddy must not know the difference between girls and boys" Tiffany thought looking at the baby in his hand. The baby's penny colored hair was in a trillion braids pulled up in a ponytail. The baby had to be a girl!

"Everybody this is Joshua," Sam sat down in a chair. Josh chewed on his green pacifier. Sam shredded him out of his blue windbreaker.

"He is Soooo cute!" Stacy scooped up the baby.

"He can't be Sam's'. Hey mama, does he look like he's mine?" Stevie pressed his face against his nephews.

"Steven, back up a little you are overwhelming the poor kid," Mary warned.

"He can't be yours, he doesn't look like a toad nor does he smell like five day old trash!" Stacy pushed him with her free hand.

Jessica watched Josh's huge green eyes fill up with crocodile tears. She tried not to feel sorry for him. He was the reason Mommy was gone, but he had to be scared too. His own mommy wasn't here either. He only knew daddy! Jessica wondered if he missed his mommy, was she hiding at her best friend's house too?

"May I see my grandson," Mary demanded.

"Yes mother," Stacy mumbled handing him over, "Can I take him to show and tell?'"

"Sam, you stole my woman and my child." Stevie loved getting under his older brothers skin!

Tiffany eyes got wide thinking, "Daddy stole something, and daddy said stealing was bad!"

"Bad Daddy." Tiffany said.

"Stop Stevie, you are not funny." Dwight said.

"Tiff- boo, Uncle is trying to tell a joke! A bad joke but a joke!" Mary explained.

"Would you like to say hello to Josh?" Sam asked her.

"Hot potato one, hot potato two," Elizabeth sang, "Why does everyone want to see him anyway what do he do? Cry? Poop? Boooring!"

Sam started to correct her behavior when his mom stepped in, "Beta, when you were this age you were so much fun! All babies learn things at different times! I bet Josh is a fun baby. I hear he is learning to crawl. You were such an excellent crawler I am sure with your help he could win a race!"

"I know how to crawl. " Tiffany demonstrated her skills.

"You are good." Stacy laughed.

"There is no such thing as a crawling race?" Jessica made a face

"I am not getting on the floor." Elizabeth claimed. Lately every time Mommy went to visit Aunty Snixs, Jessica would remember she was mad at Daddy which made Tiffany mad at him. Elizabeth would get daddy all to herself now he was only looking at Josh, everybody was even Grandpa was talking about taking him hunting. Elizabeth couldn't figure out he was supposed to go hunting if he couldn't walk.

"Can I hold him?" Tiffany asked? She wanted to add him to her doll collection on her bed.

"Sam, can I talk to you in private?" Mary asked? She handed Josh to Dwight.

"Yes." Sam ran his fingers through his blonde hair. He followed her into the kitchen.

"Go visit a friend or something. You need to leave for a while. I know you want your girls to love Josh automatically but you have to remember they don't really know what's going on! Not even Little Miss Know It All Jessica even though she thinks she does! All they do know is that somehow Josh ties in with their mom disappearing. They can pick up on you being eager to make it work, but they don't want to betray their mom! I believe if you leave and everybody else backs off them for a minute Josh will win them over . He already has Tiff around his pinky. Beta will be the hardest because she thinks she's your favorite and she doesn't like competition. I like Britt I really do she's cute, loveable and a good mom when she's not in her own little world. Which brings me to my next point give them girls some room to breathe. Every time Britt leaves you try to compensate by taking them somewhere or buy them something. Do you really think that stops them from missing her? All it says is there pain should be bought. Sam, you are a great dad you don't have to do anything extra just be there. " Mary lectured.

"I'm not sure Josh is not familiar with anybody here." Sam debated his mother's words.

"I'm going to be honest I don't know what the best thing to do for all four of my grandkids but I will try almost any and every thing to help them. I'm willing to try this. I will talk to the twins."

"Maybe I could take Stevie and Stacy to a movie or dinner." Sam brainstormed out loud.

"That would be nice. Beside Sweetie, with you around you tend to suffocate Josh and he clings to you. Give everyone else a chance." Mary said, "I also want you to know how proud I am of you on how you are dealing with everything."

Sam gave her his award winning smile, "Thanks." He hugged her tight.

"Can I hold him?" Tiffany asked again.

"I told her she had to ask you. " Dwight explained to Sam.

"Ok, Tiff go sit on the couch all the way back and I will hand him to you."

Tiffany scrambled onto the couch with her arms wide open. Sam smiled placing the baby in her arms. They could have been the picture of a Hallmark card; Tiffany with her two pigtails, and little jean romper trying to wrap her arms around Josh whose braids were hitting her in the face.

"Aww, I have to take a picture" Stacy whipped out her phone.

"Look Mercedes left me a love note," Stevie pointed to Josh's bib that read: I Love my Uncle.

"You do know Mercedes has two brothers?" Sam pointed out.

"If there was a secret love note it would be the baby Avengers on his shirt, "Sam thought smugly. Everybody knew that Sam loved super heroes and Captain America was his favorite.

"I don't think Melissa will be happy about your love notes." Stacy giggled. Stevie looked at her as if any second he was going to fix his problem of being a twin.

"Who is Melissa?" Mary looked at Stacy.

"Stevie's cute and smart girlfriend. They are EXCULSIVE! Why she likes Steven I will never know."

"Why don't you tell them about your boyfriend Point Dexter?"

"He's my friend." Stacy made a face.

"A friend that follows you around like a puppy and does your homework." Stevie smirked.

"Stacy you have someone doing your work?!" Mary shook her head.

Dwight kept to himself that she was smart enough to receive help getting her grades up.

"I can't wait to two get to college. Steven, are you being careful?"

"Mom, I know! I promise I won't pull a Sam! That's why I didn't want to tell you about Melissa! We hear about Sam's senior year enough!"

"I thought it was the End of the World!" Sam exclaimed.

"We can talk about this later when there are fewer ears around." Dwight deleted the conversation.

"Baby moving, "Tiffany announced, Josh was trying hard to lean forward from her.

"Stevie, Stac, you want grab something to eat with me?" Sam scooped Josh up.

"Maybe later" Stevie sulked. Stacy shook her head no.

"Girls, I will be back in a few. Jess, can you help watch your brother? Thanks." Sam placed Josh in her arms.

"Daddy, I don't want "Jessica started but stopped when she saw her dad walk away. Josh looked at her liking he was asking now what?

"Have you ever fed a baby?" Mary asked?

"Can I feed the baby? I feed my dolly" Tiffany offered.

Jessica locked her blue eyes with Josh's green eyes; she was feeding him a bottle. He wrapped his finger around her thumb. He refused to break eye contact. Jessica tried hard not to stare back, she couldn't he was cute.

"You're not that bad," Jessica whispered to him. He seemed like a happy fun baby. Josh replied by squeezing her thumb.

Elizabeth watched her sister with the baby, she had no plans to hold him or show him how to crawl.

"Beta, have you ever burped a baby? You have to hit them on the back. Would you like to burp him? Then Tiff you can help him build blocks. "Mary smiled.

"Okay but wouldn't it hurt if I hit him?" Elizabeth said concerned. Just cuz; he wasn't her favorite baby didn't mean she wanted to hurt him.

"I will show you how to burp him when he's done. Later we will feed him baby food it is going to be messy." Mary had a feeling her plan would work fine.

Sam left a voice message for his younger brother to call him back. He wanted to have a one on one talk with him to clear the air. He had never realized that maybe his actions made it harder on the twins. He wanted to apologize for that and tell him if he really loved this Melissa girl he should try the long distance thing. If it didn't work at least he tried and wouldn't wonder if she was the one who got away!

He wasn't even sure if Stevie and Melissa were going to the same college. Sam sighed. He was ready to go back home to his children. He scrolled through his phone.

"Mom is right I should go visit a friend." Sam said to himself.

The next chapter I might delete I'm not sure! I need help deciding !
