Three weeks later
"Mom?" Lana called into the quiet house after school.
"Yeah Lana." Rory called from somewhere in the house.
"Marco?"
"Nursery." Rory called out.
Lana ran upstairs. Rory was sitting on the floor, playing with Gracie. She looked up.
"He asked me out!!!!!!!!!!" Lana said jumping up and down. Rory deposited the startled baby into her crib and started jumping with Lana.
"Oh honey, that's great! When did Zack ask you for?" Rory said, holding her daughter at arms length.
"Tomorrow! Can you believe it? Isn't that romantic! Valentine's Day and my birthday! Oh he- wait what's wrong mom?" Lana stopped at the look of unhappiness.
"Lana we always go out for your birthday." Rory said, trying to smile. She couldn't believe how little Lana was growing up.
"Yeah, but I thought this year we could try something different. You and Daddy and Aunt Callie and Uncle Matt could all go out, and Zack's sister is 16 and she isn't doing anything on Valentine's an volunteered to baby-sit?" Lana said, looking hopefully into the blue eyes she had inherited from her parents.
Rory smiled at her daughter. At 13, this was the most important thing going on, and she didn't want to mess that up. "OK. I am not sure about Callie and Matt, because of the new baby, but your dad and I will definitely take-- -"
"Allison"
"We will definitely take Allison up on her offer." Rory said. Gracie began to hit her rattle to the side of the crib and she started yelling. Downstairs, Lana could hear T.J. chasing Mackie with a toy dinosaur.
"MOM!!!!!!" Mackie yelled, running behind Rory and peering through her legs.
"MAMA!" Gracie yelled, banging her rattle some more. T.J. came flying into the room, and Lana caught him and swung him around onto her hip. He grinned and impish grin, and his blue eyes sparkled.
"Just like his father." Rory said, leaning over and ruffling his curly blonde locks.
Bang
Little beads went flying everywhere as Gracie gave a good swing of her rattle and made contact with the plastic crib. Looking at the two halves of the rattle, she broke into a gummy grin and started laughing.
"Allison will definitely earn her money with my little sisters and brother." Lana said with a smile at Rory, as Mackie and T.J. started throwing the beads at each other.
