Fitz was dumfounded by Olivia's change in attitude. She looked out the window, and he could see she was clearly upset.

"Do you want to talk Livvie?"

"Yeah, I do."

"I'm listening."

"Why do I have to be responsible for everything with Karen?"

"I help you with Karen."

"Fitz, you help for a few days and then you use studying to get out of helping with anything. I talk to her daycare teachers. I make her doctor's appointments. I made sure Karen switched to the gentle formula when she kept spitting up after a bottle. I sleep with the baby monitor next to my head every night. I read to her and read parenting books. You won't do anything if you are busy studying. I was fine being a single mom before I had Amelia. I'm overwhelmed now. I can't walk around with Karen all day in the baby carrier while listening to Amelia whine about everything. Now I have to help my mom with newborns. When will I ever get a break?"

"How about we take a longer vacation and leave Amelia with your Aunt Sophia?"

"You are not funny."

"What? She is your aunt. Sophia can keep her great niece for a few days. When the babies are out of the hospital, Sophia can keep the twins and Amelia."

"Does everything have to be a joke with you?"

Fitz took his phone off the nightstand and called Maya. She answered on the first ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi Maya. How are you?"

"I'm okay. Is Livvie okay?"

"Yeah, she's fine. Can I speak with Sophia?"

"Sophia?"

"Yeah, I have to ask her something."

"Okay."

"Sophia, come get the phone!"

"Hello?"

"Hi, Ms. Sophia. This is Fitz."

"Hi Fitz!"

"I really want to stay in Vermont a few more days. Can you keep Amelia for me and Olivia?"

"I can be the boss of Amelia?!"

"Yes, can you make sure Amelia eats her vegetables at dinner?"

"Okay, She can eat my vegetables. I'll eat all the dessert."

Olivia shook her head no. Fitz kept the phone on speaker. He covered his mouth to stop laughing.

"I'm going to let Amelia know I'm the boss until you and Olivia come home. Bye Fitz! Maya here's your phone!"

"Hello. What did you say to Sophia? They're downstairs arguing."

"I'm sorry mom. Fitz is in the mood for jokes."

"If you call my phone again getting Sophia hyper, you're going to be taking Sophia and Amelia."

"Sorry Maya." Fitz said. "I'll bring you a bottle of wine."

"I'll call you later mom." Olivia said.

Fitz laughed and threw a pillow at Olivia. "We have one full day left in Vermont, and we are not arguing. Yes, I'm going to make you laugh, and I will do more to help with Karen and Amelia."

"Okay, I have another idea."

"I'm listening."

"We can offer my grandma Bernadette a trade."

"What?"

"Karen for Sophia. Bernadette can register Sophia for school, and when Sophia is at school, she can keep Karen during the day. She will already have Savannah and Serenity until my mom comes home from work."

"Why would she agree to that?"

"Because we can keep Sophia after school until 9:00. Sophia will have dinner and her homework completed."

"You want to keep Ms. Sophia at my house?"

"Yes."

"She's going to tear up my house."

"She will have rules."

"Livvie, the nanny is going to want extra money for Sophia."

"I can pay the extra fee."

"Do you really think your grandma and great grandma can handle three babies?"

"The babies are easier to handle than Sophia. They won't be running around the house breaking cookie jars."

"Okay, how about you ask Bernadette right now."

"Why?"

"Because I want to know what to expect when we leave Vermont."

"Okay."

The phone rang a few times, and when Bernadette answered, there was yelling in the background.

"Hello?"

"Hi Grandma. How are you."

"Trying to keep my sanity."

"I have to ask you something. Do you want to borrow my house until you find your own place in DC?"

"Wow, thank you."

"I'm going to move in with Fitz. I also want to let you know that I have a nanny during the week. Sophia can stay with Amelia and Karen. I need you to keep Karen during the day. She has a cold, and I really don't want her at daycare."

"Sophia for Karen?"

"If you don't mind. You'll have the twins and Karen."

"Yes. I can keep Karen for you."

"Okay, thank you. I'll bring Sophia home with me after school."

"That's fine. We can discuss it tomorrow when you're back in DC."

"Okay. We are moving to my house." Fitz said. "How about we celebrate?"

Olivia smirked and shook her head no. "I can't."

"Why not?"

"I'm not pregnant."

"I am not happy. We are in Vermont."

Olivia laughed, "Would you rather me be pregnant? You can wait a week."

"A whole week?"

"Take a cold shower."
