Manny could hear Alexis's cries coming from the guest room as she got out of the shower. She hurriedly wrapped herself inher robeand ran out of the bathroom and down the hall to the guest room and opened the door and closed it behind her.

She rushed over to where the crib sat in the corner and leaned down and picked Alexis up. She fed her and changed her diaper, then laid her back down in her crib so she could get dressed quickly.

She quickly rushed over to the dresser and pulled outa black tank top and matching pants that said angel across the butt. After getting dressedshe pulled her long black hair up into a ponytail andlifted Alexis out of her crib.

"Come on Alexis, let's go into thekitchen and seeAunty Spike and Aunty Emma," Manny said and carried herto the kitchen.

"Hello Manny," Snake said when Manny walked into the kitchen. He was eating a slice ofpizza.

"Hi Snake," She said back.

"Manny, what kind of pizza do you want? Pepporoni orthe one with everything?"Spike asked.

"Ummm...pepperoni please," Manny said.

Spike then pulled out two slices for her and put them on a paper plate and Manny, Alexis in one arm, the pizza in the other, walked into the living room and sat down next toEmma on the couch.

"What are you watching?"Manny asked, laying Alexis in the playpen they had set up in the living room.

"Charmed,"Emma said.

"Oh, that's the one about the three witches,right?" Manny asked.

"Yep, that's it." Emma said not taking her eyes from the screen.

"Cool," Manny said and watched the show. After about twenty minutes she looked at the clock and saw that it said 10:00 P.M.

'Well I bettergo to bed and get Alexis tobed,' she thought to herself and looked over at Alexis sleeping in her playpen.

She then picked herAlexis and carried her into 'her' room and laid herdown in the crib. She took onelastlook at her beforewalking over toher bed and climbing in and closingher eyes and falling asleep.
