Chapter 25

It was two weeks later, friday and Bianca and Miranda were arriving today. Kendall was going to come over and they were going to hit up baby stores galore and Erica's next OB appointment was also today. Erica sat on the couch dialing the same number over and over.

"Erica I don't think she is going to answer, I mean you have already called five hundred times I doubt she will answer this time!"

"Well I just want to make sure their flight is on time and they got in safe."

"I'm sure they are on their way here right now."

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Bianca must be here!" Erica shouted and tried to get up to answer the door.

"Stay right where you are! I will get it" David said in a stern voice. He walked over and opened the door. He greeted them with a "Hi, come on in" and let them in.

"Who is it? Is it Bianca?" She asked trying to see who was at the door.

"Nope it's the other daughter mom" Kendall said walking through the door holding Ian, Zach following with Spike.

"Oh hi dear. It's just that I have been calling Bianca and she won't answer me. I am starting to worry."

"Mom they are fine. I just talked to them, they are on their way here now."

"What do you mean you just talked to her? I have been calling and she hasn't answered me!"

"She said she tried calling but the line was busy, obviously because you were calling her so many times."

"Are you sure she is ok?"

"Yes mother they are fine. Why are you so stressed about this?"

"I don't know I just have this feeling that something is wrong."

"Well mom you have nothing to worry about because we are fine." A voice came walking through the front door.

"Oh Bianca welcome home sweetie" Erica went almost running, well as fast as a twenty-four week pregnant lady can move to her and hugging her. "Hi Miranda, I missed you so much." She said bending down to hug her granddaughter.

"I missed you too." Miranda replied to Erica

"Hi stranger" Kendall said to Bianca motioning for her to come give her a hug.

"Hi Kendall" she said while hugging her sister. "Wow the boys are so big now!"

"Yeah they grow fast, and I see Miranda did too."

"Yes she has."

"So girls where do you think we should go first?" Erica asked them.

"Well I think we should go get something to eat because I am starving!" Bianca answered

"I so agree with that!" Erica said, Kendall and Bianca both laughed. "Hey I am eating for two here!"

"Sure mom, should we go to BJ's?" Kendall asked

"Mmmm burgers and fries, yum!" Erica said in reply with a smile.

"Sounds good!" Bianca agreed.

"I'm glad you are all in agreement, now leave so you can be back faster." David said trying to usher the women out.

"Wow someone is In a hurry to get us out of here!" Bianca said

"He's just a bit nervous about spending the day with three children and only Zach for back up." Erica said trying not to laugh.

"Hey don't worry about the kids, they'll be fine now just go enjoy the day ladies." Zach said in assurance.

"Okay that's our cue." Kendall said heading for the door and opening it. "Let's get out of here before they change their minds." She said with a half laugh and half serious face.

The women left for lunch and there the two men stood, a four year old, a two year old and an infant.

"Okay where do we start?" David stood looking to Zach for an answer

"Here you take Ian, and I will get the kids a snack. Miranda, Spike you want cookies and juice?"

"Yea" the two said in unison.

"Then we go to the park!" Zach said as he was walking to the kitchen.

"The park? How do you expect that to happen? There are only two of us?" David said but Zach couldn't hear him. Ian had started to cry when Zach left the room and David was starting to worry something was wrong. "Zach?" He yelled out loud enough for him to hear.

"Yes David? What's the matter?" Zach asked knowing he needed to learn so much before the kid was born or he would be screwed.

"Ian is crying and I have no idea why."

"Well it's usually one of three things. Hungry, tired or a dirty diaper." Zach said to David while handing the kids the snacks while they sat coloring.

"How do you tell?" David asked puzzled look on his face.

"Are you really this clueless when it comes to kids?" Zach asked trying to hide his laughter.

"I'm sorry I haven't had two practice runs like you." He said a little anger in his voice. "Babe was a little past the infant stage when I met her."

"Yeah I guess she wasn't wearing diapers then or needing fed with a bottle." He said laughing. "But you really haven't done any of this with Little A?"

"Could you just cut me some slack and help me out here?" David said pretending to beg. "Please it's not like the Chandlers let me babysit!"

"Alright, well he just ate a half hour ago so he isn't hungry. So it's either a dirty diaper or a nap." Zach hinted to David.

"Well what time does he usually take a nap?" David asked

"Wow someone is learning!" Zach said in amazement

"I do know one thing, babies are usually on a schedule!"

"Usually yes, and he naps at 11 usually!" Zach said rolling his eyes.

"So he is probably not tired yet since it is only nine. That leaves diaper."

"Here you go." Zach said handing him the diaper bag.

"What's this?" David said, an unsure look on his face.

"He needs a change and you need practice. Have at it!" He said with a straight face.

"Are you sure you want me to do it? I mean I haven't ever done it before." David asked with a pretend warning.

"Yeah go ahead, I'll fix it when you bring him back. Just remember, the sticky's go in the front!"

"Got it" He said laughing, taking Ian upstairs to a bedroom.

"All right kids how much you want to bet that he screws it up?" Zach asked the children that had no idea what he was talking about. They just kept coloring while Zach got the stroller and things ready to go to the park. Five minutes later David came down the stairs, Ian in hand. "Wow faster than I thought! What happened up there?" He said smiling.

"I think I got it right. It was just a little wet. The hardest part was trying to get the clothes on and off."

"Yeah that is the worst part. But congratulations it looks like you were pretty successful."

"Magic hands. That's the secret. I mean I could do open heart surgery with my eyes closed I'd hope I could change a diaper! "

"Yes I'd hope so too. Poor kid." He said laughing. "Alright let's get moving. We have a park to get to!"
