One morning during the Matthews' anniversary weekend, Alexis was in the kitchen getting coffee for herself and Phoenix when her sister in law came in to exactly what Alexis was doing. Nate and Noah were sleeping in while their grandparents had gotten up just before the sun rose in the sky to go for their daily morning walk. Phoenix and Andy were up in the bedrooms that they were sharing with their respective wives.

"Good Morning." Alexis said when she noticed Charlie in the room with her.

"Morning, Alexis."

Alexis was in the middle of pouring Phoenix's cup of coffee as Charlie pull cups out of the overhead kitchen cabinet for herself and Andy.

"So how is your family doing?" Charlie asked.

Charlie had opted to use the Keurig that her parents had to make coffee for herself and Andy. Alexis was mixing Phoenix's coffee together as Charlie put a coffee pod in the Keurig.

"They're good. Mom and Dad are working cases. The kids are busy between school and after school activities…"

"And your grandmother?"

"Grams is as always Grams. Martha Rodgers, the one-woman act."

The ladies shared a laugh after that. "How's Meredith?"

"Last I heard she had a couple of auditions lined up."

"Have you seen her since the wedding?" Charlie asked.

"Nope. She only shows up when she wants or when it's convenient for her."

"Ah okay."

There was a brief silence between Alexis and Charlie.

"It just dawned on me, are you busy the week of the fifteenth of next month?" Charlie asked.

"I don't think so, why?"

"I'm having a Scentsy party on the fifteenth at the house and I'd like you to come."

"Oh okay, well when I get back to work I will check my schedule to see if I'm available and I'll let you know."

"Okay."

With that the two ladies parted ways as they headed back upstairs with coffees in hand to their respective husbands.


A/N: For those of you who don't what Scentsy is, it is a company that came to be back in 2004 that does warmers, diffusers along varying fragrances and other things. And much like women use to sell Avon products and have Avon parties back in the 90's and other times, Scentsy is the new Avon for the 2010's since women sell and have Scentsy parties. Scentsy is my latest obsession which is why I put it in this chapter.
