Mr. and Mrs. Matthews had the rest of the week all mapped out. With their actual anniversary on was on Sunday, the Matthews had activities in place. The day after Phoenix and Alexis got in the day before, the entire family along with the other guests partook in a baseball game. Of course the extended family that came and the family friends all stayed in a local hotel that was just down the road from the Matthews' house.
Once the activities were done, everyone had some down time to themselves. Charlie and Andy put their kids to bed before they cracked opened the books they had been reading. Alexis and Phoenix laid in bed together to watch tv.
"So where are we on the whole kids thing?" Alexis asked.
"I don't know, sweetheart."
"Do you want kids?"
"I do; you know that I do…"
"But? There's a but coming, I can tell."
"You are your father's daughter; you know that?" Phoenix said evasively.
"Phoenix."
"Alexis."
"I'm serious."
With that, Phoenix paused for a moment before he responded. Phoenix knew full well that Alexis's sudden inquiry was likely incited by his mother's question from the night before.
"Well?"
"I want kids; I can definitely see us as parents…someday…." Phoenix said.
"But?" Alexis said.
"But there is the minor detail that we've only been married for a short amount of time. I thought that we would wait a while before we started having kids."
"Okay." Alexis said.
With that, the two of them went back to watching tv when the show they were watching came back from the commercial break.
