-Chapter 23-

-Shelby pov-

The girls made it to Saturday in one piece. Rachel has been let out and it's been good. Now it's their freedom day. I was hoping it would be a cold day.

Instead the girls are playing in the mud and water. With freedom day comes freedom to choose your attire! All the girls magically chose diapers only or nothing! I don't think it was just their choice.

The girls were doing good at the beginning. Soon after they slowly got introduced into the mud. With the size of our backyard they have been able to explore some mud. I have to clean them all tonight alone.

Not only them but Emma and Cass if they are still in this mindset too. I feel muddy hands on my leg and jump. I look and see a smiling Santana. I give her a smile and pick her up.

"How's my baby doing?" She gives a small thumbs up "Are you having fun?"

"Un! Un!" She claps and mud splashed onto my face "Un ud!"

"I guess mud can be fun" I give her a forehead kiss where she's clean "What are you doing over here?"

She points toward the mud where everyone else is "I an ou!" She looks at me with a pout "Eeese!"

"She'll be over in a minute" Judy and Madison walk over "Why don't you go get ready?"

Santana is quickly out of my arms. I give them a confused look and they point to the house. I raise a eyebrow and look at their muddy feet. I get a eye roll and they walk past to the house.

"Fine" I follow them into the house "What?"

"The girls dropped their talking more" I give Judy a confused look and she turns my body to look at the girls outside "Look!"

I watch and start noticing it quickly. The thumbs in the mouths, the wobbling, the gibberish, the more limited sentences. They've gone down again. When did this happen?!

"How did we not notice?" I look back at the duo who look guilty "What?"

"Wedding planning most nights or doing school plans" Madison sighs "We've not paid attention to them again"

"We do things with them!" The give a dual challenging eyebrow "La...yest...Well mo...shit"

"Mary said Lucy has been the worst" I look back out and see the girl being helped around the pool with floaters "She isn't even really kicking anymore"

"This is what we wanted right?" I look back at the two "What's Mari say?"

"Same that you just did" Judy sighs and smiles "I guess we did want this huh?"

"We have to accept them as they are" I hold both of my hands out "I believe I was told to play in the mud"

"Let's go" Madison grabs my right hand "No fun without everyone"

"She's a poet and didn't know it" We laugh and Judy grabs my left hand "Let's go"

We head over to the mud puddle and get splashed. I hate mud but I'll play for them. I strip down more so it's easier to clean. I pick up mud and look at Santana.

"I think a certain little someone has a clean spot on their belly" I go down and tickle her belly with the mud "There it is!"

She starts laughing and I smile. Soon it's a mud battle with all of us. The conversation a bit ago almost entirely forgotten. Until they fully show their age change.

"Nope that's not mud!" Judy picks up and trembling Brittany "Hey it's ok! You're alright!"

Brittany loses it and cries into Judys neck. Judy walks around with her and finally sits her down. I'm confused when she disappears into the house until a pacifier is also brought out. A few pacifiers are brought out.

"I think some little obese are hungry!" I pick up Rachel and tickle her feet "Why don't we start on lunch?"

Everyone heads to the porch and Debbie works on the grill. I start feeding Rachel when Cass crawls over. I go to pick her up but Debbie grabs her. I look up at her confused.

"I...I wanted to help" I understand what she's saying and smile "Is that ok?"

"It'd would help a lot" She smiles and walks away with Cass "I know you've done something mom"

My mom walks over sheepishly "Why would you say that?" There's a doorbell echo and mom sighs "Fine I did something"

I get up with Rachel and walk to the front door. I open the door and immediately freeze. Talking and showing them playing is one thing. I've still not breastfed in front of strangers I didn't really know too well.

"Uhh" I can tell they aren't fully used to this either "Is this a bad time? You seem to be..well under dressed"

The breeze that hits makes me realize what "It's not the feeding?" She shakes her head no "Well everyone is mostly like this so if you don't wa~"

"Dee?" Debbie walks in holding a feeding Cassandra "W-what are you doin here?"

"I wanted to see you lifestyle and Mary invited me" Dee looks at her sister with a genuine smile "You look so happy"

"I am" Debbie smiles and then gets super excited "COME ON! I can show you the room and the house!"

Dee smile and walks in. She gives me a bottle of champagne and follows Debbie. I guess mom and Janine have another bottle. Damn going sober.

It was for a good cause though. I look at the feeding girl in my arms and smile. Yeah it was worth giving up. Helps with knowing I have diabetes too.

I walk back outside with Rachel and see the girls still eating. Maribel is now on the grill and everyone seems happy. I'm glad this is how today's turned out. Even if I have to wash a lot of people alone tonight.

That's a future me problem.

-Time skip-

"You really don't have to if you don't want to" Debbie looks at Dee again "It's ok"

"I don't wanna feel like the odd one out!" Dee sighs "Plus if this is how it is around here sometimes might as well get used to it!"

"We move at our own comfort levels Dee" Maribel gives Dee a kind smile "Go as far as you are comfortable"

"Thank you" I think I can speak for everyone when we didn't expect her to bare it all "This really does feel freeing' I could get used to this kind of life!"

"Remind me to call ahead before going to your home Dee" The sisters laugh and we all smile "Alright! It's time for mud fun again!"

The girls all crawl quickly back to the mud. I sit back some and watch the interactions. Mostly Cassandra with her family. They are a unique group.

Cass and Debbie have been making slow improvements on their relationship. It's been great to help both sides out. I just wish it didn't have to be getting fixed so late. But I guess late is better than never.

When I finally join back in the mud fun it's for a short time. I notice that Santana looking at Dee oddly though. It's likes she's trying to figure something out. I guess she just figured it out.

"El anth!" We all look at her confused "E! An it el aner!

"El anther?" Debbie looks at Dee confused "What's el anther?"

Dees eyes quickly go wide "Oh god you watched that" We all are confused now "I danced on stage with steel panther drunk one time!"

"The band that has women get naked?" Dee nods and sighs "Why?"

"Was out with some friends and I drew the short straw" Dee shrugs "It wasn't that bad"

"In!" Santana crawls over to her "Ing!"

"One song?" Santana nods and Dee smiles "Alright! Just for you little one!"

The song I hear makes me immediately plan on child locks for the computer.

-Dee singing-

If you don't golf that's okay

You can be a tiger anyway

Laugh through your teeth when things gets tough

Or your balls are gonna wind up in the rough, yeah yeah

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods

Fertilize the ladies in the neighbourhood

Get real rich and you will find

All the hot chicks will want to grind

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods

Grip that shaft like you know you should

Get a platinum card, it will be all good

The girls will want you just like Tiger Woods

Remember this when you're having fun

Three holes are better than a hole in one, yeah

If the word gets out don't be afraid

When a 9 iron's heading for your Escalade, yeah yeah

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods

Filling all the divots in the neighbourhood

Don't think about those three foot putts

You cover your tracks when you're banging them sluts

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods

Text messages are never good

Nail a girl at the driving range

Your life will change, just like Tiger Woods

Have your best friend book all your flights

Tell your wife that you're golfing nights

Get a call girl and maybe just chill

Be willing to part with a hundred mil

Bang a new porn star every day

Tell your sponsors it will be okay

Surprise them all with an invitation

To a viewing of your first double penetration, yeah

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods

Poking all the holes in the neighbourhood

Tell your wife how it's gonna be

Your driver is community property

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods

Brett Favre did it, so you know you could

Become the king of your neighbourhood

Like Steel Panther and Tiger Woods

Just like Tiger Woods, oh yeah yeah

"That was highly inappropriate!" Debbie smacks Dees arm "Apologize!"

"She wanted a song!" Dee sticks her tongue out at Debbie "Youre just mad I've gone to a concert!"

"Yeah that's it" Debbie looks at us "I'm sorry for my sister"

"You like the music you like" Judy leans and whispers in my ear "We are blocking sites tonight"

I nod and we slowly get pack into playing in the mud. After playing, Dinner, and playing again it's finally bath time. As per punishment I have to deal with all of the girls.

Cass and Emma joined in making the task slightly harder. After baths are done all the girls are fed and put to bed. We are making better crib like beds for them. Right now they are using their old ones.

They have a big bed for the bigger nights. Tonight we thought this would be better. It's seems right since they all go to sleep quick. By the time I get to bed I'm exhausted.

All in all it was a great day. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
