Chapter 2
Mrs. Garrett sent Kelsey and the other kids outside to play. "How old is Kelsey?" asked Natalie. "Five" answered Mrs. G. "She looks just like Blair." Jo said. "I know," said Mrs. G "so much it almost scares me."
"Mrs. Garrett, why are you raising Kelsey? Where is her father?" Tootie asked.
"He was on the plane." Mrs. Garrett answered. "About seven years ago Blair married a man named Tad Warner."
"Did you say Warner?" Jo interrupted. "She married a guy with the same last name?" "Yes, she married a guy with the same last name.anyway Blair found out she was pregnant three months after their first wedding anniversary. She had identical twin girls, one died at birth. Blair was devastated, she never got to see the baby and she never named it. Blair and Tad moved in with me and I helped Blair through postpartum depression. It took me two weeks to get her to touch Kelsey, when she finally did she couldn't let her go. Three years ago Blair and Tad decided to get a divorce, but I asked them to reconsider, for Kelsey's sake, and go on a second honeymoon. Kelsey was only two-years-old and I told them I would take care of her. The plane crashed and I am still here taking care of Kelsey."
"Does Kelsey remember her parents at all?" Natalie asked.
"She has some memories, but she will lose them as she gets older." Mrs. G said.
"I can't believe she's gone." Jo said. "It seems like only yesterday that I first met her."
"I remember." said Natalie "you threatened to give her flared teeth."
An hour later the men came back from taking the kids for ice cream. All the kids came into the living room.
"We're taking the kids back to the hotel." said Rick. "Do you want to stay here?" Jo nodded. Rick, Jeff, and Snake took their children to the hotel, Tootie and Natalie also decided to stay.
"Kelsey, it's time to go to bed now." Mrs. G said. "OK" said Kelsey as she ran up the stairs.
"Your old beds are still upstairs. Kelsey sleeps in Blair's so don't wake her when you go up." Mrs. G said.
"We won't." Natalie said.
Five minutes later Kelsey came down in her pajamas.
"Are you all ready?" Mrs. Garrett asked. "Yes." answered Kelsey. "When are Mommy and Daddy coming home?"
