Chapter Fifty One

"Are you ok Sam?"

"Yea, I will be"

"Auntie Sam, can we have ice cream after dinner?"

"I don't know"

"Please" she gave her the patented sad puppy look.

"Yeah, please" Jack gave her the same look, which made Sam laugh

"Ok, Ok, you two win, I can't believe you two are ganging up on me" Jack gave Sam a kiss.

"Get a room" Lizzie said

Sam started tickling her, which made her laugh. once settled down, Lizzie climbed on to Sam's lap, and Sam wrap her arms around her. Twenty minutes later and two trips later they left the pizza parlor and headed back to their place. On the way back they had to stop off at a store to buy everyone ice cream. When they finally arrived home Laura and Jacob went out to greet them.

"What took you three so long?" Jacob asked, smiling

"Real funny dad. Here, you can these pizza's around to the back"

"Sure" Sam passed six boxes of the pizza.

"Laura, could you please put these in the freezer? It is the ice cream for dessert"

"Lizzie gave you the sad puppy look?"

"Yes and Jack" She laughed

"Those two are trouble makers. They are good at ganging up on others"

"Well I can see why"

Jack and Sam carried the last of the pizza around to the back of the house, while Laura put the ice creams in the freezer before getting more drinks and joining everyone outside. They enjoyed the pizzas and the ice cream. Not long after dinner, the doorbell rang, so Sam went to answer it. She was shocked to find George and Rose Hammond standing there.

"Uncle George, Auntie Rose, this is a surprise, come on in" they walked into the house and Sam closed the door behind them

"Thanks Sam, we hope you don't mind us joining in on the bucks and hens night"

"Of course not, everyone is out back. Have you two had any dinner?"

"Yes, thanks. You have a beautiful home Sam" Rose said,

"Thank you. Come on through" then the doorbell went again, so she answered it

"Hi, I see you two made it, come on in" Two teenagers walked into the house. "Uncle George, do you remember Major Ann Crawford from the Pentagon?"

"Yes, I do?"

"Well these two are her kids. James, Kate, this is General George Hammond and his wife Rose

"How do you do sir, ma'am"

"Nice to meet you two"

"They are here to baby sit the kids while we are out for the evening"

"Ah, shall we join the noisy crowd out back?" they walked out to the backyard, were everyone was laughing. Jack saw who was behind Sam

"Jacob, take a look"

Jacob turned to see his old friend and his wife. He got up and went to give George a handshake and Rose a hug. Then they went to join the rest of the noisy crowd. Half an hour later two mini buses showed up. Jack and Sam gave the two teenagers their instructions. There were videos for the kids to watch and popcorn for them to eat later on, as well as drinks for them all. They left with the others. Jack and Sam hugged and kissed before they left on the buses.
