To Erin: yes I know that Erin means Ireland, I'm half Irish, but thanx for remindin me.

~~from last chapter

'BOOM' came from the baby's room.

"What was that!?" they screamed in unison.

Sammie and Shane rushed out of bed scared half to death. They just heard a noise come from Erin's room, and had no idea what fell. What they saw brought happiness to their eyes..all it was, was the radio that Shane had left on top of the crib. Erin had been squirming and kncoked it off the ledge.

Sam's face had been in such horror that when she saw that she slapped Shane in the arm for leaving it there. "Do you realize how scared I was, and the fact that it could have hit Erin in the head instead of falling to the ground." Sam yelled, but still in a hushed tone so she wouldn't wake up Erin. For some reason, she seemed to sleep more than a normal week old baby.

"I think that little girl could sleep through a thunderstorm. When she falls asleep, she doesn't wake up for at least 3 hours. Hell she didn't even wake up when the radio fell, and WE heard it across the hall!" Exclaimed Shane.

Sammie realized this, and was kind of worried, "Baby, it's nice having her sleep like this, but I don't think it's normal. I mean every other mother I have talked to said when their baby was first born, they never slept. Let alone for 3 hours straight."

"Hey, instead of getting worked up, just call the doctor tomorrow and see if everything is okay. If it'' nothing, there'' no reason for either of us to get worked up." Comforted Shane. Then they went to bed, or at least were going to until Erin started to cry.

~~ next morning

After Sam got up and brought Erin downstairs to feed her, she started on breakfast. Erin was in her highchair, and while Sam was putting the last pancake on the plate she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and a kiss on her neck that, like always, sent chills down her spine. "Mmm, morning," Sammie said, not wanting that to end, but it did.

"Morning baby, damn you taste good, even first thing in the morning." Shane said happily, and making both of them laugh.

Sam turned in his arms and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before handing him the plate of pancakes to bring to the table. He set them down, and while Sammie was getting the table ready, she watched Shane pick up their daughter. She couldn't help but smile at how cute he looked with her, almost like that's what he was made for.

"Well hewwo wittle Erin, and how did you sweep?" Shane playfully asked her in a little baby voice. Oh how Sam wished she had camera at that exact moment, she didn't think he could look any cuter than when he talked like that and blew 'raspberries' into their daughter's tummy. Erin just laughed and then he put her back down while him and Sammie ate.

Sammie couldn't help but laugh at him sometimes for what he did, "you know you have some way with her, I'm her mother and I've tried everything to get her to smile like you do, it's really annoying," she said with a pout.

Shane just reached over and kissed her pout and told her, "I guess I just have the 'magic' touch," trying to lighten the mood. He could tell lately that Sammie was getting really tired of how she couldn't make her daughter laugh, and Shane wanted to cheer her up. "Sweetie I wouldn't worry about it, she loves you, you're her mother, I don't think it's anything to get worked up over." He said rubbing her back.

"I guess," sighed Sam, still feeling defeated. After they finished eating Sam went to do they dishes when Shane reached for her arm and said he'd do it and for her to just go and lay down for a while, and then he'd wake her up later. "Okay, but I'm gonna call Jamie first."

"Hello?" answered a familiar voice.

"HEY JAMS!" exclaimed Sam

"Oh my God, Sammie how's everything..Shane, Erin," her sentence trailed on."

"Everything's good, how bout you?"

"I'm good. So what's up?" asked Jam

"Well I know we haven't seen each other in a while, and I know you've wanted to see Erin, and I was kind of wondering if you could come over and watch her for a while so me and Shane can go out. Only like a few hours, because him and me have noticed I've been very moody lately from lack of energy, and like I said, it's only a few hours, and we are probably just going to start the wedding plans. Then when we get back me, Shane, you, and Eric can all hang out.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sammie, don't worry about it, of course I'll help. How about me and Eric come by for Erin at say 11, is that good?"

"Yeah, thanks so much Jams, I'm really sorry to ask you on such short notice" Sammie told her

"What are best friends for?" Asked Jamie laughing. They talked for about the next hour and then Sammie went to lie down for about half an hour, until Shane came to wake her up.

That's when she heard a loud noise in the kitchen. When she went to ask Shane what it was, all he said was not to worry, and to just get ready to go out. After she got ready, which she did fast, because she wanted to see what was going on, she went to the kitchen.

"OH MY GOD, What happened in here!" She yelled. The whole kitchen was a mess, and Erin was covered in something that looked like flour, but both her and Shane were laughing. "What in God's name is so funny!?" Sammie asked, trying to control her own laughter.

"I was helping Erin make you something, but she got into the flour and well..you can tell what happened" Shane said bursting into another fit of laughter.

"Come on Erin, let's get you cleaned up while your DADDY cleans the kitchen." She said looking him in the eye. She picked up Erin and gave her a bath. Then she put her in her crib to sleep until Jamie and Eric got there. She went downstairs to finish helping Shane.

As Shane was finishing with the table he noticed Sam walking over to him shaking her head, "What?" he asked playfully.

Sammie couldn't help but laugh, "I swear it seems like I have two kids sometimes," She said sitting on Shane's lap.

Shane took this as a perfect opportunity to play with her, "Well your kid wouldn't do this," and he bent her back over his lap and gave her the biggest kiss ever, all in play. As he did this, he brought her over to the couch, not once breaking the kiss. As he was on top of Sammie, both getting into it, the doorbell rang, "ugh, perfect timing Jams, as usual," Sammie moaned into Shane's lips. They got up and straightened themselves out before answering the door.

"Hey guys!" Jamie and Eric exclaimed when they saw Sam and Shane.

"Hey, thanks so much for doing this, we promise it won't be more than 4 hours, 5 at the most. Then we'll come back and all hang out." Sam said. The guys talked by themselves and same with the girls, then Sammie and Shane were off on THEIR day. They hadn't had one of those in about 9 months!
