Tori's and Bella's 1st Easter
Dianna and Kevin were really excited for the girl's first Easter, and to see their face when they take them to see the Easter bunny for the first time. Dianna was especially excited to get the girl's their first Easter dress/
"Kevin are you sure you will be okay watching the girls for a few minutes while I go to the store to get their dresses?' she asks him
"Yeah we'll be fine are we girls" he says looking down at Tori and Bella
"Ya" they say together
"See you have nothing to worry about" he says smiling
"Okay I'll be back soon" she says heading out the door and to the mall to go shopping
"Well girls how about we go outside and you two can play in the sand box that daddy has set up for you two in the backyard" he says picking them up and carrying them outside to the sandbox
"Here we girls play nice okay daddy going to be over there if you need him" he says setting the girls into the sandbox to play
The girls played and babbled in the sandbox for thirty minutes before things got ugly. When Bella was trying to build a sandcastle, and Tori smashed it down
"What's wrong girls what happen" he asks when he comes running
"Tori did you smash Bella's sandcastle?" he asks when he picks up Bella to comfort her
Tori smiles and giggled happily
"Well that is a no no for that little girl you are going into time out for five minutes" he says picking up both girls and carrying them into the house
"Here we go Bella stay here while daddy goes put Tori in the time out chair' he says setting Bella down on the blanket that was in the family room
While daddy was sitting Tori in the time out chair Bella decided to try to chase after Sophie
"Okay Bella daddy's back" he says exiting the nursery to find that Bella wasn't there
"Bella where are you" he says as he begins searching to where she might be located at in the house
He finds her right by Sophie
"Bella don't scare daddy like that" he scolds her
He sees that Bella wanted to play with Sophie
"Do you want to play with Sophie well throw the ball to see if she will go after it" he says smiling as he watches Bella throw the ball for Sophie
"Okay Sophie drop the ball so Bella can throw it for you" he tells his dog who drops the ball
Bella got a kick out of playing fetch with Sophie
"No Sophie we don't give Bella kisses just yet she is still too little you might knock her down big girl" he says patting Sophie on the head
After they played with Sophie Kevin and Bella go into the nursery to get Tori from time out, and after Tori was freed from time out she gave her sister a hug to show she was sorry she tried to destroy her sister's sandcastle
"Ah that's sweet Tori" he says as he takes his camera out to send the picture to Dianna and to post on twitter
"Since that's all over how about a snack" he says picking up both girls and taking them to the kitchen for a snack
That afternoon Kevin gave the girls one of their cookies that Dianna bought for them to gum on until they get more teeth in
"Now you two have your belly full how about a nap" he says cleaning them both off and taking them to the nursery to be put down for their nap
After the girls went down for their nap Kevin took this time to relax and think about how much his life has changed since Tori and Bella came along
"Hi Kevin I'm home" Dianna says coming into the house with the bags she got at the mall
"Well what cute little Easter dresses did you get the girls?" he asks
"They are just the cutest dresses I have ever seen in my life, and they even came with a matching bonnet with a flower" she says getting the girls dresses out of the bags
"You're right Dianna they are just adorable the girls are going to look stunning in them on Easter morning" he says when he sees the two dresses that have blue and purple flowers on them
"Are we flying to my parent's place for Easter ore we flying to your parent's" she asks him
"Mine cause they do this big shin dig for all the grandkids, and they even do one for the kids" he says with a chuckle
"I think the girls will get a kick out of doing whatever you parents do for the grandkids" she says sitting down next to him
"Okay I'll book the flight" he says calling the airline to see when they could fly to Texas
(Three days later)
"Dianna we need to get going" he calls from the living room
"Okay but first we need to board up Arthur" she says putting Arthur's carrier in her car
"Okay after we board Arthur we are off to the airport to fly to Texas" he says as he begins to strap the girls in
After Arthur got boarded up Dianna followed Kevin to the airport, so they could fly to see his parents
"This is just great we are not sitting next to each other on the plane" she says when she sees her ticket
"That's impossible I booked the flight myself" he says as he takes a look at her ticket
"Really you couldn't look at the tickets when you got them" she says yelling him
"Sorry I had a busy week at work I didn't see the tickets until now" he says when they approach the gate
Kevin took Bella while Dianna took Tori and headed for their seats
"Since no one seating next to us you want to sit next to daddy pretty girl" he asks her
Bella got comfortable and laid her head on Kevin's chest
"It's okay sweetie daddy gonna grab you blankie from the carry on and cover you up, so you don't get cold" he says grabbing the throw blanket from the carry on to cover her up
While he is covering up Bella he looks over to see that Dianna doesn't look very well, and he knows the plane will be taking off in a few minutes he is going to wait until the pilot clears the passengers to walk around the cabin to check on Dianna. After they have been in the air for a few minutes he gets up out of his sit to check on Dianna
"Sweetie you don't look too good are you feeling okay" he asks her as he takes Tori from her
"No I think last night supper is not agreeing with me now" she says as her face turns green and she gets up to run to the bathroom
"Come on Tori I'll take you over to see your sister" he says taking Tori over to sit with Bella
After they have landed Kevin helps Dianna off the plane by pushes her in Artie's wheelchair that he brought with him, and the girls practiced walking off the plane with their walkers
"Hi Mom hi dad" Kevin calls when he sees his folks
"Hi Kevin did you guys have a nice flight?" his mom asks him when she picks up Bella
"Some what we were sitting in different seat during the flight, and when we were cleared to walk around the cabin I went over to check on Dianna, and she saw she was green in the face and she looked like she was going to puke and she went to throw up, and I didn't see her until we landed and she was crawling back to her seat" he says as they head to get the luggage and Sophie
"Oh you poor thing when we get to the house I'll make you some green tea, and you can lay down in the guest room while Kevin and the girls sleep in his old bedroom" his mom says as carries Bella to the baggage claim to help with the luggage to put it on the luggage cart that his brother had
"Thanks Mrs. McHale" Dianna says
"You're quite welcome" Mrs. McHale says smiling
"Kevin did you bring Sophie" his dad asks
"Yeah I did" Kevin says smiling at his dad
"Okay I'll go get her" his dad says as he heads to where the dogs can be picked up
"Well I have a great Easter planned for everyone you have to Easter to see what I have up my sleeve" his mom says smiling
"That's fine mom I'm sure the girls can wait four more days" he says smiling
After the luggage has been gathered up and Sophie got picked up all six McHale's headed for the house. The whole time Dianna had her head on Kevin's lap trying to keep her mind off the nausea
"Well girls here we are" Kevin says as he points out his childhood home to his daughters as his mom parks the van
After Kevin got the girls in the house and settled he went out to help Dianna into the and in the guest room.
"Here we go sweetie don't you worry about the girls I will take care of them" he says tucking her in for the night
"Thanks Kevin you're the best" she says as she closed her eyes and goes to sleep
"Dad do you need any help bringing in the rest of the luggage?" Kevin asks his dad when he brings in the luggage
"All that's left is Sophie" he dad says smiling
"I'll let her out so she can stretch her legs" Kevin says as he goes out to his brother car to get Sophie out of her carrier
The girls saw daddy go outside so they followed him outside
"Hello girls you came outside with daddy while he got Sophie" he says when he looks back to see the girls crawl towards him
After Sophie was let out Kevin put the girls in the baby swings that were set up in the backyard on the swing set that his parents had for the grandkids. After the girls had fun swinging Kevin brought them in to go down for a nap.
"Okay girls while we're here you are staying with daddy in his old room that he had when he was a boy" he says bringing them into his old room and setting them down in their pack and plays for their naps
Once the girls were asleep Kevin covered them with their blanket so they wouldn't get cold, and after the girls were asleep he went to check on Dianna
"Dianna how are you feeling" he asks tip toeing in the room to check on her
He sees that she is still sound asleep, and goes unpack
(A few hours later)
"Hey sweetie how are you feeling?" he asks when he comes into the guest room
"Still have that nausea feeling yet" she says sitting up in bed
"Could there be a possibility that you might be pregnant?" he asks her
"Yeah I could be I have been so busy" she says trying to smile
"Later tonight I'll go to the drug store and pick some pregnancy tests and you will take the test tomorrow to see if you are pregnant?" he says cuddling her
"Thanks Kevin" she says cuddling him
"You're welcome sweetie" he says hugging her close
When the girls woke up from their nap Kevin took them on a walk around his old neighborhood. Along the walk the girls pointed out some pretty flowers that they could give mommy to make her feel better. After the flowers have been gathered up they went home to wash up for dinner
"Okay girls daddy is going to feed you dinner" he says sitting the two plates of mashed taters on the girl's trays
Both Tori and Bella loves the mashed taters that daddy was feeding them
"At least they like mashed taters" he says smiling to his mom
"Yeah they do you want me to make more for them?" she asks him
"Yeah mom that would be great" he says smiling
"Well have any of them started getting any more teeth in?" she asks
"Yeah two weeks ago both Tori and Bella started getting their front teeth in, and now they can really bite" he says with a chuckle
"Yeah you got to watch out for that I bought some bananas at the store would the girls like a banana to chew on? She asks him
"We could try it to see if they like it" he says smiling when he reaches for the bananas
Bella liked the bananas that daddy fed her, and Tori didn't like them
"Well I know what to feed Bella now" he says as he cuts up more bananas for her to eat
"Here we go girls nana made some mashed taters for you two" she says smiling as she sits down next to her son and feeds the girls some more mashed taters
"Hey mom can I ask you a question?" he says
"Sure fire away" she says
"Was there any sibling rivalry with the four of us?" he asks
"Yeah there was your father and I always had to break up an argument" she says smiling
"The reason why I asked was the other day I put the girls in the sandbox I built, and Bella was building a sand castle, and Tori smashed it down" he says feeding Bella some more banana
"Oh I hope you put her in time out that what I always did with you guys" his mom says smiling
"I did" he says
(Later that night)
"Dianna I'm back" he says coming into the guest room with the pregnancy tests
"Thanks" she says hurrying up and going into the bathroom to take the tests
Once Dianna took all five pregnancy tests she set them on the counter and waited for the timer to go off
"Now we wait" she says sitting on the bed with Kevin
"I guess we do" he says putting his hands together and praying it's negative
(Few minutes later)
"I guess you're going to be a dad again" she says exiting the bathroom with the positive pregnancy test
"Please tell me you're kidding" he says in shock
"No I am really pregnant see for yourself silly" she says handing him the pregnancy test
He stares down at the positive pregnancy test in shock and disbelief
"No matter if it's one or two we will love this one just the same as the girls" he says pulling her in for a hug
"Yeah I guess we will" she says looking up at him before going to the girls
(Easter)
Kevin woke up to Dianna heaving in the bathroom
"You okay sweetie?" he asks her
"Yeah I forget how much this part of the pregnancy bites" she says before going back and emptying her stomach
"Don't worry I'm here for you" he says holding her hair back while she throws ups
While Dianna was getting ready for church Kevin went and got the girls into their Easter dresses
"Good morning girls Happy Easter" he says coming back into his old bedroom to get the girls into their Easter dresses
The girls kind of babbled back to their daddy, and once both girls were in their pretty dresses Kevin took them downstairs for breakfast
"Morning Kevin Happy Easter" his mom says smiling
"Happy Easter to you too mom" he says setting the girls into their high chairs
"Your father is outside hiding the Easter eggs for everyone" his mother says smiling when she serves the girls some eggs
"Oh thanks mom I think the girls will get a kick out of eating eggs for breakfast" he says sitting down to feed the girls their breakfast
'How's Dianna feeling?" she asks when she gets to work on the rest of the familt breakfast
"Well we found out some news last night we are going to share with the rest of the family at dinner" he says smiling
"Okay" his mom says going back to making breakfast
After Kevin's family eats breakfast they head to Easter service at their local church, and after church they head home for the annual Easter egg hunt
"Since Tori and Bella are just babies I am going to let them go first hunting for the eggs" Kevin father says smiling
"Thanks dad" Kevin says
"But first there is a special visitor here" his dad says signaling one of his brother to hop in as the Easter Bunny
"Girl's look who it is" Kevin says as he takes Tori over to see the Easter bunny for the first time
Almost everyone tried to snap a picture of both girls with the Easter bunny before they started to cry, and to their surprise they didn't cry at all
"Okay girls time to go find your eggs" Dianna says lifting the girls off Easter bunny lap
Once Tori and Bella started crawling towards the eggs that they could see Kevin started video taping them hunting for eggs. Once they got the eggs that they could find the older ones found the rest of the eggs. At dinner time Kevin and Dianna made their announcement
"Everyone we have an announcement to make" Kevin says clinking his glass
"Okay bro we're listening" one of his brother said
"Well me and Dianna are expecting another baby" Kevin says smiling
"Congrats brother" his sister says smiling
"Thanks as soon as we find out the gender we'll tell ya" Kevin says taking a seat to eat Easter dinner
The rest of the meal everyone talks about what's going on in their lives
"What time do you guys need to be at the airport tomorrow?" his dad asks
"We decided to stay an extra few days maybe take the girls to the zoo and let them experience being in Texas for the first time" Kevin says smiling
"Okay maybe next weekend we can go to the zoo" his mom says smiling
"Sounds like a plan" Dianna says eating her dessert
That night Dianna gave the girls their baths and Kevin got them ready for bed
"Did you girls enjoy your first Easter?" he asks them while he was getting them ready for bed
Both girls smile up at him and kicked their legs
"Well mommy and daddy are spending a few extra days here, and you two get to experience what daddy did when he was a little boy" he says putting Tori's pajama top on her
Once the girls were ready for bed the family headed downstairs to hang out for a bit before bed
