Lonnie's Prov

I woke up to Maria's cries. Jay said "I'll get her." He was already up. He went to get her, while I got dressed. "Lonnie?" I looked and smiled. "There's 2 of my favorite people." I said going over to my husband and Daughter.

Jay said "I gotta go to town, and grab some more things, like diapers and stuff. Then meet the team for an hour. We are just gonna talk about out strategy for next season."

I said "wipes too. I was actually thinking about taking her over to mom's and dad's for a little bit, before we have to go to Mal's and Ben's. Big family get together."

I gently took Maria into my arms as Jay said "yes those to. I remember about going to Mal's and Ben's. So do you want to meet up at your moms and dads or meet up at the castle or here?"

I said "Maybe here. We have to be at the castle by 5. I was gonna visit till 4, when Maria wakes up from her afternoon nap, so I can bathe and change her." Jay nodded.

"Ok I will see you here at say 430?" I nodded. Jay left, and I got Maria in her car seat. I gave her her blanket and her little stuffed dragon, that she loves, before carrying the car seat to my car, securing it in the base, before climbing in the driver's seat.

The drive was quick, and quiet, Jay had sequred a mirror on the head rest, so I could peek on her, and see if she was ok, which she was, she was cuddling her dragon.


I pulled into the driveway of my parents and parked. I gently pulled Maria's seat out, as her little eyes looked to me. "We're gonna see grandma grandpa and Uncle Zian." I said, as I carried her to the front door. I heard Zian in the backyard, so I went there. "Zian, are you having fun?" I said, as I got in ear shot.

Zian looked up and ran over to hug me. I sat the car seat down for a second to hug my little brother. Maria started to cry, so Zian knelt in front of her singing a lullaby I remember hearing from when I was little.

That calmed her. I gently took her out and kissed her forehead. Zian picked up the car seat for me as we walked into the house. "Mom! Dad! We have visitors!" Zian called softly.

"Who is it son?" Dad's voice asked, as I heard them near. Maria loved spending time with her grandparents. She was only 3 weeks old. "Come find out." I heard Zian respond winking at me. They appeared in the door frame, and when they saw us, they smiled.

Mom came over first hugging me before taking her granddaughter to cuddle her. Then Dad came over and hugged me. "Hows our granddaughter? How's our daughter? How's our son in law?" I heard dad ramble off.

"We are all doing good, we almost have her sleeping all night now, only had to get up 2 times last night. It worried me at first, but it's good." I responded gazing at Mom and Maria. Dad smiled and said "she's like you. You slept almost the whole night at 3 weeks old too. But like your mother you freaked out too. It's natural." I smiled.


The day flew by and by the time 4 rolled around I was exhausted. I took Maria home, batthed her and dressed her in the onesie that had a little princess in English and Chinese. It fit her perfectly. I was excited to see the family. We haven't had a big family get-together since before Maria was born. Then Alex was born, then Chris.

Jay came in and we went to the castle.
