"Liz!" Lily shouted during opening prayer at the church service.
"Lilybird." Max scolded telling her to be quiet. Usually she was good during service which is why he didn't put her in the daycare. Now, maybe he would have to start considering it, she could talk.
"Dada." She glared back at him continued to stare at the back of the church.
Max felt someone shift into the pew next to him. He looked down to a smiling Liz. He smiled back and quickly bowed his head in prayer at his mother's glare. Even at 21, she could still put him in his place.
After the prayer Lily shifted and twisted until she made her way into Liz's lap.
"Hi." She declared loudly.
Some old women turned around and smiled. She was the church's darling. She could do whatever she pleased and it would be cute.
"Lilian." Max looked at her.
She looked at her father before settling down in Liz's lap for the rest of the service.

Everyone went out to eat after church.
"Mama, I tired." Aidan protested on the way back to the car after lunch. He stopped in his tracks.
"We're almost to the car, sweet pea." She nudged him.
"Uppies." He held his hands up to her.
Sighing, she picked up her whining son.
Sitting him in the car she climbed into the front seat of her car.
"Did you have fun last night with Nana?" She asked.
"Yeah." He said through a yawn.
She kept talking to him, knowing that it would slowly lull him to sleep. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that her son fell asleep when she talked to him.
Liz laid him on the bed and went to sit at her piano. It was at one time Jonathan's. He had played the piano better than anyone. The Parkers had given it to her to teach Aidan when he was old enough to start. She was to continue studying until then.
She stroked her fingers lovingly over the keys. It was an upright piano but she preferred it to they baby grand they were going to purchase.
She began to play a soft Mozart Lullaby that Aidan had fallen asleep to when he was still only a few months old. It was one John had taught her. One she had imprinted in her memory forever.
She was so engrossed into her playing she didn't hear the door click open.
She jumped and let out a squeal when she saw Max holding a sound asleep Lily in his arms sitting next to her.
"Max, what are you doing here? I didn't even know I left the door open." She said quickly making her way back to the door and locking it.
"I know. Key under the planter."
"Oh." She smiled. "How are you doing?"
"Good. Lily wouldn't stop saying your name so I thought I'd bring her over here to see you. But only for a little while, I have a paper to write."
"Well it looks like she's fallen asleep." Liz said observing her. "Come, Aidan's asleep on the bed."
Max followed Liz into the back of the condo. "Lay her next to him right here." Liz pointed "She won't roll off right?"
"Nope, she won't." Max said confidently.
"Ok."
"How long have you played the piano?" Max asked as they walked back out to the front room.
"Since I was four." She sat on the couch and curled her legs under her. "Aidan's grandparents gave me the piano when we moved out here so that I can find a teacher for Aidan to learn how to play when he's old enough."
"Are you going to teach him?"
"I could, but I think he would but I think he would be more serious about it if it didn't come from me. I'll start him and if he has a real interest, then I'll find a teacher."
"You're serious about it?"
"Yes." Liz nodded. "In a way it helped me when I was younger, it gave me self-esteem, not very many kids could play and I could. Alex plays a little bit, and Jonathan, he played very well." Her eyes dropped.
"Who?"
"Aidan's father." She said quietly.
"Oh." Max said let her be in her silence. "I Have to pick Alex and Isabel up from the airport tomorrow night I was wondering if Aidan would like to come along, see the planes?"
"No, I don't think that he would like to see them." Liz shook her furiously standing up.
"Alright, Liz sit back down, I won't take him. Sit down." He pulled her down into his lap. "You ok?" He asked pulling her body against his in a comforting gesture.
"Yes." She answered.
"Liz, do we need to talk?" He asked.
"No, not yet." She shook her head.
"All right." He said comfortingly. They sat in comfortable silence until they heard giggling from one of the back rooms.
"Lily's awake." He smiled and carefully nudged Liz off his lap.
"That means Aidan must be awake as well."
"Hello, Lilybird." He said picking her up.
"Liz!" She said happily and leaned towards her.
"Aren't you going to say hi to Daddy?" Max asked with a pout on his face.
She pecked him on the cheek and reached for Liz once more.
They played and had a snack before Max and Lily left so Max could finish his paper.

A/N: I'm having serious trouble with this one. Different Kind of Life is coming easily at the moment but it'll slow and I'll switch back to this one. I won't forget about it though. I work on it for a little bit. Eventually I'll get some big idea in my head, and it'll just all flow out.
